摘要： On the board, write `What qualities of a good friend are important to you?’. Ask the class to think carefully about what qualities they appreciate in friends and put ticks under the correct headings in the table. Encourage students to work on their own. Then ask them to compare their answers with a partner. Ask individual students to tell the rest of the class about their own choice and their partner’s choice of qualities. Write some structures on the board to enable students to focus on the choice of adjectives and to maintain a fluent oral performance. Extension activity You can copy the table. More able students can add more adjectives describing qualities of a good friend. Students can also interview several classmates using this table. They should write tally marks instead of ticks in the table. Then they can compare their results with a partner or in class to find out which qualities are the most popular. Game Ask each student to write three adjectives or phrases to describe a classmate on a piece of paper. Remind students to write his or her name as well. Encourage them to work on their own and not to show their choice of words to other students. Then collect the pieces of paper and put them together. Draw one at a time and read each description. Invite the class to guess whom it describes. Reading Objectives

Can you tell me   5  road to take to Franklin?” “It is too hot to think,” said the beggar. “Thinking is work in such a   6  day.” “Here is a dollar,” said the doctor, “now, will you think?” “Of course, I will, sir!” said the beggar, “ 7  that road to Franklin.” After a while, a driver stopped to   8  the beggar which road to take to Franklin. “You must give me a dollar,” said the beggar, “for me to start thinking.” The driver gave him a dollar. “Turn to the left,” the beggar said.
The beggar went back to   9 . Before long a farmer woke him up.
“Which is the road to Franklin?” he asked. The beggar got   10  dollar and the farmer went along the road.
“A doctor gets paid when he doctors.” said the beggar to himself, “A driver gets paid when he drives, and a farmer gets paid when he farms. But this time a beggar got paid, and all he did was thinking!”

I was now five, and still I showed no much interest in things except with my toes（脚趾）. I could not look after myself,   35  my father took care of me. I used to lie on my back all the time in the kitchen. I was   36 , imprisoned（监禁） in a world of my own, unable to communicate with others.
Then, suddenly, it happened on the afternoon of a cold December day. All the family were gathered round the big kitchen fire. Mona and Paddy were drawing funny animals, using a bright piece of yellow chalk. It was the chalk that   37  me so much. I had never seen anything like it before.
Suddenly, I wanted to do what my sister was doing. Then without thinking or knowing exactly what I was doing, I   38  out and took the chalk out of my sister’s hand, with my left foot.
