I. Warm-up Activity Will you be a good gardener? A quick quiz! 1. Where is the best location to plant tall or climbing plants? A. North side of the garden B. East side of the garden C. South side of the garden D. West side of the garden 2. Tomato plants that are “determinate” are more bushy plants, and tomato plants that are 'indeterminate' are more viny plants True False 3. Potatoes are in what family? A. Carrot Family (Umbelliferae) B. Tomato Family (Solanaceae) C. Pea Family (Leguminosae) D. Morning Glory Family (Convolvulaceae) 4. What is the best level of soil ph for MOST plants? A. 3.5 - 5.5 B. 5.5 - 7.5 C. 8.0 - 9.0 D. 2.5 - 3.5 5. Pine needle mulch lowers the ph level of soil while peat moss raises the ph level. True False 6. When a plant has beautiful lush foliage, but almost no fruit, the plant has an overdose of: (Ans: One 8-letter word) 7. Tomato leaves that are purple and thin is a pretty good sign that they are lacking Potassium. True False 8. Potato plants want lots of organic matter in the soil for the potatoes to grow better. True False Now Check Your Answer! 1. North side of the garden. When the tall plants are planted on the north side, they don't block the sun from other smaller plants and also keep down the north winds. 2. True. If you don't want to stake, you will want determinate. If not, go with indeterminate. 3. Tomato Family (Solanaceae). Eggplant, Tomato, Tomatillo, Potato, and Pepper are all in the tomato family. 4. 5.5 - 7.5. Most plants require ph levels of 6-7, but a few can tolerate 5.5 like corn, carrots, and potatoes. Others can grow well in soil ph of 7.5 like cabbage and cauliflower. 5. False. Pine needle mulch and peat moss are good for alkaline soils because they lower the ph level. 6. Nitrogen. Nitrogen will help produce lush foliage, but too much will make the plant concentrate on the leaves instead of the fruit. 7. False. They lack phosphorus when the plants look like that. 8. False. Too much organic matter will cause scabbing on the potatoes. Questions: 1.Do you still recall a text on gardening we studied last semester? Nelson Mandela: a famous South African leader who struggled against apartheid [ə'pɑːtaɪt ](种族隔离）in South Africa. Gardening is associated with his revolutionary work and struggle, offering him simple but enduring satisfaction when he was in prison. Similarities: Gardening gives them satisfaction, and made them strong physically and mentally. They learned a lot from gardening. However, there ere also some differences between the two essays. Nelson Mandela：Gardening offers him taste of freedom, and it has become a metaphor of freedom. What’s more, gardening gives him inspiration on how to be a good revolutionary leader and how to nourish important human relationship. Arthur Miller: Arthur Miller is describing the beauty of human activities and experiences. When gardening, he must annually turn his mind toward all the work, and the fruits of gardening can somehow reflect movements in one’s own spirits. He found that gardening is a moral occupation, it needs patience and responsibility. So gardening is all about character building. All of these showed the author’s love to the nature. 2. How do you understand gardening? What is the symbolic meaning of gardening? Gardening is generally regarded as a hobby, a pastime. Many little books as well as essays tell people how to grow tomatoes, beans, cucumbers , etc., in their private gardens. But, like many other human activities, gardening often has symbolic meaning for different people. (For instance, in our culture, it is often compared to the rearing of children, so teachers are often called “gardeners.”) 2.If you have a garden, what will you like to plant? Why? II. Pre-class work 1. Word formation Teaching method：ask students to preview this part and find out word-building rules; we will check their homework on page 72, they should tell us the meaning of the words. 1) Noun + present participle time-consuming award-winning character-building 2)noun + Past Participle air-borne Store-bought Home-made Hand-written 3)noun + free.: duty-free sugar-free ice-free ticket free tax-free nuclear-free Ⅱ. Key words :Teaching method：ask students to preview 15 key word (PPT) of this unit, they must find out the derivations, the usages and useful expressions of these word. Teachers just help them summarize the content they have talked about. 1. Bind V. a. tie or fasten (something) tightly together b. be hampered or constrained by c. (bind oneself) make a contractual or enforceable undertaking Eg. They bound her hands and feet. Sarah did not want to be bound by a rigid（僵化的，死板的） timetable. The government cannot bind itself as to the form of subsequent legislation. 2. resolve V. a. settle or find a solution to (a problem, dispute, or contentious matter) b. decide firmly on a course of action c. make a decision by a formal vote Eg. The union resolved to strike by 40 votes to 18. The crisis was finally resolved through high-level negotiations. She resolved on making an early start. 3. sparing false causeadj. moderate; economical Eg. He is very sparing with his money. He was quiet and sparing of speech. The professor was sparing in his praise. This paint is very expensive, so please use it sparingly. The lotion should be applied sparingly to the skin. 4. skeptical / sceptical adj. not easily convinced; having doubts or reservations: Eg. The public were deeply skeptical about some of the proposals. They remained openly sceptical about her promises of improvement. 5. conceivable a. capable of being imagined or grasped mentally Eg. We had to draw up plans for every conceivable emergency. It is conceivable that there will be a new economic crisis throughout the world, but we hope it won’t happen. This sort of work would have been inconceivable before the advent of microprocessors. III. Background Information 1.
