Section A(1a~2d) Warm-up Look and say Have you ever heard of these stories Which story do you like best Can you tell them to your partners 后羿射日 后羿在的时候,天上有十个太阳,烧得草木,庄稼枯焦,后羿为了救百姓,一连射下九个太阳,从此地上气候适宜,万物得以生长。他又射杀死了猛兽毒蛇,为民除害。民间因而奉他为“箭神”。后来,“后羿射日”这一典故,用来比喻为民除害,也用来形容勇猛善战。 后羿射日 后羿射日的故事出自江苏省射阳县。为纪念后羿射日,射阳建成地标性建筑———中华后羿坛和著名旅游景点———后羿公园。根据“射阳”县名的来历及“后羿射日”的传说,在公园入口处设置八面景观墙,上置八个石球,与不远处的“中华后羿坛”遥相呼应,寓意后羿射下九颗太阳,降福人间。 女娲补天 传说水神共工与火神祝融大战。经过殊死搏斗,共工大败一头向擎天柱不周山撞去,竟将擎天大柱撞折了,霎时天塌了个大窟窿。天地相通,脉气失常,洪水泛滥,大火蔓延,人类陷入灾难之中。 女娲补天 女娲为了解救人类,决定采石补天,用五色石把天补起来,再用东海神龟的四只脚顶住苍天。五色石不够用,大洞还没补好,慈悲的女娲只好牺牲自己的生命,用身体来补天上的大洞,天地间恢复了宁静,还出现了五彩云霞。一切生物又都生机勃勃地活在大地上。 女娲为人类和世界万物的生存而献身,真是令人感动。 Now let’s enjoy the story below: ___ Journey to the West ___ Hou Yi Shoots the Suns ___ Yu Gong Moves a Mountain ___ Nu Wa Repairs the Sky. 1a Match the story with the pictures [a-d]. b d a c Presentation Listen and check the facts you hear.
