make people addicted to it.

T: You are right. Then do you know more about cocaine?

S: It is a powerfully addictive drug and can make people feel energetic for a short period of time.

T: How do you know this?

S: I have ever read a passage introducing cocaine in a newspaper.

T: Good. I think all of you have heard about the harm done by cocaine to people. The most serious result is that it can cause people to die. Around you are there any people using drugs?

S: No, we haven't seen such people ourselves. We only see people using drugs on TV and in the newspaper.

T: I'm very glad to hear that. We should keep away from drugs. Now please open your books and turn to page 12. Look at the words. I will give you five minutes to discuss the meanings of them.

After five minutes, make sure the Ss have mastered these words. Then give them two minutes to finish Activity 3 by themselves.

Step II Pre-reading

T: Now look at the picture. From the expression of the man can you tell me what's the matter with him?

S: He is unhappy.

T: Do you know why he is unhappy?

S: Perhaps he is addicted to the drugs.

T: Very good. In fact he is really addicted to the drugs. Are you eager to know about his experiences of becoming a drug addict and what happened to him later?

S: Yes.

T: Well. Now let's look at Activity 2. Above the passage there are three topics, I will give you three minutes to look through Article 1 and find the topic of this passage.

After three minutes, ask some students to share their answers.

T: OK, time's up. Have you finished? Who'd like to share your answers?

S: I choose the first one.
