ProcedureStep 1 Revision : Dictation of words and phrases of section B of Unit 6Step 2 Introduction Preview of unit 7All the three passages have the common theme of genetics. The first passage outlines the conclusions of the book The History and Geography of Human Genes. This book is the first genetic map of the world and scientifically disproves the idea that one race is genetically superior to any other race. Passage B considers the myth that geniuses appear out of nowhere and shows that in fact geniuses often receive strong stimulation early in childhood which helps them develop their remarkable talents. It then discusses which type of parental stimulation is most effective. The third passage sets out some of the research into the question of whether genetics or the childs environment is most important in creating genius.Step 3 ExplanationNew words 1. a top selling book: a book that a lot of people buy (L.1)Of the ten top selling books this year, six are non-fiction ones. 今年10本最畅销的书中，有6本是非小说类的书籍。2. to date: until now(L.3)To date, research has focused on the most obvious feature of living things: cell multiplication. 迄今为止，研究已集中到生物最明显的特性，即细胞繁殖上。There is no evidence, to date, that making people belt ups turns them into worse drivers. 至今仍没有迹象表明司机们系安全带会影响驾驶。3. more than: “having greater value or importance than sth. else” or “not only, not just” Please note here “more than” is used in a sentence without an adverbial clause of comparison.
