1) Read the passage carefully. To better understand the text, Ss underline the main ideas（找出每段中最能表达中心思想的几个句子）. Then check the answers.

Tell Ss that underlining the main ideas can also help them better understand the text.

2) Ask Ss to use the underlined text to write short answers to the questions. And finish the chart below.

3) 3 Ss in a group. Using the notes made in 2c, each student write a short summary for one paragraph. Then combine them together. Pay attention to the connectives to tweak the individual bits so that it sounds like it is written by one person.

Ask some groups to show their summaries. Give group members gifts for their good behaviors.
