II. World Expo:
T: During the Second Industrial Revolution there were three World Expos to show the achievements. As we know, there will be a World Expo in Shanghai. Do you know in which year?
S: 2010.
T: Good. Look at this picture. This is the poster of Shanghai World Expo in 2010.
中国如有一份幸运，世界将添一片异彩。
T: And next poster is very popular on TV and street.
“Bring our wishes into reality.” From these posters we can know the purpose of Shanghai World Expo.
Last two weeks, I asked all of you to prepare a small world expo to introduce the inventions and creations in the Second Industrial Revolution. Four parts: topic, mark, host city and contents.
Now let’s warmly welcome some groups to introduce their World Expo about the Second Industrial Revolution.
[after group one]
T: Very nice. Diesel engine developed transport. And the daily life is more convenient than before. You can go to anywhere by cars and aeroplanes. As we know , what is the most important invention in the Second Industrial Revolution?
S: Light bulb.
T: Good, so we called the Second Industrial Revolution “ the Age of Electricity” .Now let’s warmly welcome Li Xin to introduce the inventions in electricity.
[after group two]
T: Thanks a lot. Just like Li Xin said the electricity is very important to our daily life. Could you tell me how many things need electricity in this room? What are they?
S: Air conditioner, electric light, projector, computer, watch, mobilephone, pickup camera and so on.
T: Great! But there is an interesting thing, Group Three prepared their World Expo in another side. What is it? Please listen to the speech.
[after group three]
III. Influences:
T: Amazing! Well done!
Yes, just like the last group said the second industrial revolution was disaster or delight?
What do you think about it? Except these influences they mentioned what about others?
There is a piece of paper in your hand. Right? Read them and discuss in your group.
How did the Second Industrial Revolution affect us?
[4 mins]
T: Ok, stop here. Now let’s have a plenary discussion. Who will be the first? Any volunteer？
S:….
T:
Source1. 第二次工业革命使人口的前所未有的增长成为可能。人口爆炸的原因在于经济和医学的进步。
新的运输工具保证了来自外界的充分供应。同时由于医学发达了，并采取了许多公共健康措施，使死亡率急剧下降。
欧美的人口增长速度同时期比其他地区高得多，以至改变了世界人口的对比。
Source 2. 第二次工业革命还引起前所未有的城市化进程。
生产力的发展推动了经济的发展，大批的劳动力涌入工业城市，巨大的新的城市人口能从世界各地区得到粮食的供养。
技术和医学上的进步使城市生活比较适合人们居住。充分供应洁净的水、保证充足的粮食供应以及预防和控制传染病等。
因此城市发展速度极快。
Source 3. 第二次工业革命以世界性的规模有效的利用了人力资源和自然资源，使生产率史无前例的增长。
说明科学技术大大提高了生产力。即“科技是第一生产力。”
Source 4. 收入的增长并不意味着所有阶级都同样的得益。其中大部分在顶层被吸收。
这种差异意味着相应的生活方式的不一致，同时也说明阶级分化在第二次工业革命后更加明显。
如同我们同学在课件中所展示的，对妇女和童工劳动的剥削达到了很大的规模。
Source 5. 此外，第二次工业革命给人类带来的污染也是有目共睹的。这些问题越来越受到世人的关注。环保意识应该深入人心。
IV. Conclusion:
Now let’s have a conclusion about the Second Industrial Revolution.
We must see the positive and negative influences of the Second Industrial Revolution.
Positive and negative are just like the two sides of things. Positive is good , negative is bad. Understand?
Ok, let’s see the positive influences. The Second Industrial Revolution developed scientific technology.
Then the scientific technology developed productive forces. It made the productive forces increased over 200% in the world. So we say science and technology are the first productive forces.
Could you tell me what is the Chinese meaning?科技是第一生产力。
Yes. Especially in electrical area.
我们知道在古希腊（Ancient Greece），有普罗米修斯（Prometheus）背着天神宙斯(Zeus)，
把火从天上偷走带给人间的神话故事，在中国则有燧人氏钻木取火的传说。
这两件事情反映人类对光明的向往，第二次工业革命中电力开发与利用给人类带来了光明，它使人类最古老的梦想成为了现实。
However on the other hand, let’s look at the negative influences of the Second Industrial Revolution.
人类活动引起的环境恶化，也逐渐显露出来了。空气污染、光污染、水污染等日益严重。
由于生态平衡的破坏、环境的恶化，反过来使人类又受到自然界的惩罚。
Now please look at this picture. Could you guess what does it mean?
The only one sentence is: It’s their fault. Now let’s have a discussion.
T: Very good. T: From the historians’ saying. 历史学家在研究了人类史后认为： “人类最光辉的成就大多导致了奠定文明基础的自然资源的毁灭。” 世界史的轮廓是：“文明人跨过地球表面，在他们的足迹所过之处留下一片荒漠。” What do you think about? 发展科技的同时，不能破坏自然环境和生态平衡，否则索取财富的过程就是自掘坟墓的过程。 我们不能忘了人是“人”，不能忘了资源与环境是我们赖以生存的物质前提，不能忘了人与自然 是一个整体，必须和谐合一。
T: So when we are developing science and technology, don’t forget to protect our resources and environment. Let’s try our best! |
