Grasp the key words of the text, understand the meaning of the sentence, and try to figure out how the author writes the feelings between the old man and the seagull concretely. Third, teaching suggestions 1. The theme of this group of textbooks is that people and animals live in harmony. This lesson is the first text of this group of textbooks, and it can be introduced from the introduction of the unit: like people, animals have their own likes and dislikes and feelings. In this unit, we will walk into the rich emotional world of animals and feel the sincere feelings between them and people. This leads students into the text. 2. When reading the text for the first time, focus on guiding students to clarify the ideas of the text. Let the students talk about their initial feelings first, and guide them to sort out the context of the text on this basis. The focus of this paper is to guide students to understand the deep feelings between the old man and the seagull, and to understand how the author expresses them. The following ideas can be adopted in teaching: First, learn the first part, find the sentences in which the old man loves seagulls, read them carefully, and discuss and communicate in depth. Let the students feel the old man's true feelings for seagulls in his seemingly ordinary actions and talks: the old man walks more than 2 miles every day, "just to deliver food to seagulls and accompany them"; The old man's action of feeding seagulls is so skillful, and there is such a tacit understanding between seagulls and the old man. When the old man calls, seagulls "respond" and "rise and fall" in the rhythm of the old man walking and releasing; The old man named the seagulls, called their names affectionately, and chatted while feeding; "The sun is west", seagulls are about to fly away and fly back to Dianchi Lake. The old man's eyes are full of "expectation"; For more than ten years, "the old man will come every day" ... The old man regards seagulls as his children and has a deep affection for them. Let the students express their feelings and understanding on the basis of full reading, and let the students truly understand the feelings of the elderly for seagulls. On the basis of students' full feeling of the old people's feelings for seagulls, organize students to read and understand the second part of the text and experience the seagulls' feelings for the old people. Seagull's affection for the old man is mainly reflected in his death. When teaching, students should read the text silently in combination with Exercise 2 after class, and talk about what "unexpected things" happened in the place where the portrait of the old man was placed. Focus on the sentences in paragraphs 15~17 of the text that describe seagulls hovering in front of the portrait of the old man, singing repeatedly, standing still and rushing towards the portrait like a fried camp, so as to guide students to read aloud their feelings and realize the deep affection of seagulls to the old man from their actions. Explain why this happened and implement Exercise 2 after class. The ellipsis is used in six places in the text * * *, which has different functions. When reading, students should be guided to understand it carefully in the context. The ellipsis in the fourth paragraph indicates the omission of enumeration; Ellipsis is used in two places in the 11th paragraph, indicating that the words are not finished; The two ellipses in paragraphs 15 and 16 indicate that the meaning is not complete; The last ellipsis is used between the 17 th and 18 th paragraphs, and it is a single paragraph, which also expresses the unfinished meaning. 3. Read the instructions aloud. While guiding students to exchange experiences, we should guide students to read relevant sentences and paragraphs with the camera. Some sentences in the text, especially those describing seagulls, are very vivid and touching. When teaching, we should combine reading with experience, so that students can feel the emotion between the old man and the seagull in reading, and experience how the author writes the emotion between the old man and the seagull concretely and vividly in reading. While reading, let the students accumulate these sentences. 4. In the teaching of words, students should be reminded to pay attention to the pronunciation and glyphs of some new words, such as "plastic" reading Si, and don't mispronounce it as Shu; "Cake" is pronounced bǐng, not bǐ n; "Ying" is a nasal sound. Students should also be reminded of the glyphs of other new words, for example, don't add points or apostrophes in the middle of "suppression", and the upper part of "Ji" is "Shi"; When writing instructions, we should emphasize that the three parts of "plastic" are close together. The language of this text is clear and easy for students to understand. In order to deepen students' understanding and experience, teachers can also carry out comparative reading teaching according to the actual situation of the class, for example, combining the selected reading text "Military Dog Black Spot" to deepen students' understanding of the theme of this unit: human beings love animals, and animals will return love; But if man deceives animals, he will not get the trust and support of animals. This text mainly describes the touching scenes that my friends and I saw the old man delivering food to seagulls every day before his death, and the seagulls seeing him off after his death.

Edit the content of this passage

It was an ordinary winter day. When I met my friends and came to Cuihu, seagulls were flying noisily. It is easy to recognize the old man among the people who feed the seagulls. His back is already hunched, he wears a faded outdated cloth, carries a faded blue cloth bag, and even uses a large plastic bag for bird food. My friend told me that the old man walked more than 2 miles every day from the suburbs to Cuihu, just to deliver food to seagulls and accompany them. Where there are few people, it is the territory where he feeds seagulls. The old man carefully put the biscuit cubes on the fence by the lake, stepped back and called to the flock with a pinch of Cu. Immediately, a flock of seagulls answered and swept clean in a few times. The old man walked along the railing and put it down. The seagulls rose and fell according to his rhythm, arranged in a roaring white, and flew into a colorful music score. In the sound of seagulls, the old man sang something cadently. Pay close attention, it turns out that intimacy has changed its tone-"one foot", "grey head", "red mouth", "old sand" and "princess" ... "Did you name the seagull?" I can't help asking. The old man looked back at me and still leaned over to the seagull: "Of course, every one has a name." "Do you recognize them?" The same white wings flashed quickly in the sun, and I doubt whether the old man can see clearly. "You see, you see! The one with the ring on his foot is Lao Sha! " The old man proudly pointed it out to me, and suddenly he shouted at the water: "One foot! Lao Sha! Get up! " Two seagulls jumped on the water and flew towards the old man. One seagull's foot was shining with metal, and the other flew over and pecked at the old man's hand. It has only one foot and has to flap its wings to keep its balance when it stops. It seems that it is one-legged, and the old man is talking to it affectionately while feeding it. Talking about seagulls, the old man's eyes immediately came alive. "Seagulls are the most affectionate and cautious. The year before last, there was a seagull, and the day before it flew out of Kunming, it rested on my hat five times again and again. I thought it was for fun with me, but later I learned that it was to say goodbye to me. It didn't come last year, and it didn't come this year … Seagulls are lucky birds and happy birds! The ancients said,' Bai Ou flies with poems'. More than ten years ago, when seagulls came, I knew that our good fortune had come. Look at their little appearance! Tut (zé) tut ... "Hearing the old man's call, seagulls immediately flew over and surrounded him, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. The old man's plastic bag is empty when the sun is west. "It's getting late, and they will go back later. I heard that they are resting in the diān pool, but unfortunately I can't go. " The old man looked at the flock hovering in the sky with hope in his eyes. My friend told me that for more than ten years, in winter, the old people will come every day, just like relatives with seagulls. Unexpectedly, more than ten days later, someone suddenly told us that the old man had passed away. Hearing this news, we seem to see the old man and seagulls clinging to each other by Cuihu Lake ... We enlarged the photo of the old man feeding seagulls for the last time and took it to Cuihu Lake. Unexpected things happened-a flock of seagulls suddenly flew in, hovering around the old man's portrait, repeatedly chirping, and their chirping and posture were quite different from usual, as if something important had happened. We were very surprised and hurried away from the old man's photo to make room for the seagulls. Seagulls quickly flapped their wings and took turns flying into the air in front of the old man's portrait, like relatives who came to pay their respects. The old man in the photo silently watched the seagulls hovering around him, and watched the "children" who accompanied him for many winters ... After a while, the seagulls landed one after another and stood in two rows before and after the old man's portrait. They stand still, like white-winged angels who wake for the elderly. When we had to put away the portrait, the seagulls rushed at it like a bomb. They were singing loudly and flapping their wings so close that we finally got out of this swirling white vortex (Xá n). ..... At the funeral for the old man, we carried the portrait and walked slowly to the mourning hall. The old man carried the blue cloth bag on his back and pinched his mouth, as if he were still calling the seagulls. In his heart, it must be flying gulls. The author of this article, Deng Qiyao, 2. Sentence analysis. (1) Understanding of sentences. His back is hunched, he is wearing a faded outdated cloth, carrying a faded blue cloth bag, and even the big plastic bag for bird food has faded. My friend told me that the old man walked more than 2 miles every day from the suburbs to Cuihu, just to deliver food to seagulls and accompany them. This is a very simple old man, but it is such a diligent old man who buys food for seagulls with his little retirement salary and walks more than 2 miles every day to feed them. What gives the old man such great motivation? Undoubtedly, it is the old man's selfless love for seagulls. Here, with few words, an image of an old man who loves seagulls is presented to readers. (2) The old man carefully placed the biscuits on the fence by the lake, stepped back, pinched his mouth and called to the flock. Immediately, a flock of seagulls answered and swept clean in a few times. The old man walked along the railing and put it down. The seagulls rose and fell according to his rhythm, arranged in a roaring white, and flew into a colorful music score. This is a detailed description of the old man feeding seagulls. The old man's movements are so skillful, and the cooperation with seagulls is so tacit and harmonious! The word "sweep" vividly depicts the way gulls feed. Seagulls fluttered their snow-white wings rhythmically, and the scene was more like a beautiful song than a clever painting. In the sound of seagulls, the old man sang something cadently. Listen carefully, it turns out that it is a local dialect with a changed tone of intimacy-"one foot", "grey head", "red mouth", "old sand" and "princess" ... What a simple name! However, through these simple names, what we see is the old man's intimacy and love for seagulls. The old man called for seagulls intimately and naturally, as if calling for his own children. Maybe the old man can't sing, but the call to seagulls is just a moving song. (4) unexpected things happened-a group of seagulls suddenly flew in, hovering around the old man's portrait, repeatedly chirping, and the chirping and posture were quite different from usual, as if something big had happened. This is something that no one expected. When seagulls "suddenly flew" at first, they probably thought that the old man had come to feed them again. The old man who had not come for many days finally came again, so they couldn't wait for the old man to call their names and "suddenly flew". However, they soon found out that it was wrong, so they "flew around" and "repeatedly sang" around the portrait. They must have found that the old man who has been with them every day for more than ten years is different from usual today. They called the old man with their voices. After a while, seagulls fell to the ground one after another, and stood in two rows before and after the portrait of the old man. They stand still, like white-winged angels who wake for the elderly. Seagulls are like people. They have the same feelings as people. After soaring, the seagulls "fell to the ground one after another" and "stood in two rows before and after the portrait of the old man". They were so serious and quiet. Maybe they knew that the old man would never come again, so they silently "stood" as if they were at the wake for the old man. Such a scene, I believe that no matter who will be moved. 6. They were singing loudly and flapping their wings so close that we finally got out of this flying white whirlpool. When the portrait of the old man was put away by us, the actions of the seagulls were so surprising. All the seagulls screamed loudly and rushed towards the portrait, and the flying wings formed a white whirlpool, which made us almost unable to get away. Seagulls are so reluctant to leave the old man that they are expressing their nostalgia for the old man in their own special way. (2) Understanding of words.

The statue of "Old Gull" is engraved with the deep affection of human gulls. Xinhuanet Kunming, January 18, 26. The statue of "Old Gull" Wu Qingheng was unveiled in Cuihu Park, where there are the most red-billed gulls in Kunming: a kind old man sat by the water, smiling, holding gull food in his hand, surrounded by red-billed gulls ... a beautiful place where human gulls are harmonious. Wu Qingheng, known as "Old Seagull" by Kunming people, was alone before his death, and the red-billed gull that flew to Kunming every winter was his only sustenance. Whenever the red-billed gull "comes", the old man walks into the city for more than ten kilometers every day to feed them and play with them, rain or shine; More than half of the old man's monthly retirement salary of 38 yuan is used to buy food for seagulls. Therefore, the old man is almost reluctant to spend a penny on the bus.
