【設計意圖：通過完成練習A1幫助學生整體把握課文結構，培養學生快速閱讀以獲取主干信息的能力，也為掌握本單元的學習策略（理解說明文的文章結構）埋下伏筆。此處用了兩種總結方式，第一種是完整句子，總結細致一點。第二種是短語，總結更為抽象。】
Step 3 Reading for the detailed information
T asks Ss to read the article again and answer some questions.
T: Now you have got the general idea of the article. Please go through the questions in A2.
【設計意圖：通過A2的練習促使學生再次深入課文，此項活動旨在幫助學生獲取文章重要的細節信息，培養關注重要細節的習慣。】
Step 4 Further reading

T: We have read through the whole article and many ideas may appear in our mind. Certainly there are some arguments, some of which have been listed in A3.
