1 Book Ⅲ Unit 10 Section A The Bermuda Triangle Phenomenon Ⅰ.Warm-Up Questions: 1. Have you ever heard of the Bermuda Triangle? Do you know its location? 2. What have you heard about it? 3. According to your idea, why things disappear in that area? Ⅱ.Background Information: The Bermuda Triangle is the greatest modern mystery of our supposedly well understood world: a region of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Actually the Bermuda or Devil’s Triangle is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. Charles Berlitz is the author of the book, The Bermuda Triangle, which was published in 1974. Among the theories advanced by Berlitz the explain the number of losses in the area are: ⑴ A large magnetic vortex (磁性旋涡) through which a craft and its occupants could slip into a different point in time and space. ⑵The action of the aliens from outer space or from inside the earth. ⑶The activation of man-made power complexes on the seabed left by a previous civilization. Magnetic North is located 1,500 miles away from the North Pole. Therefore, geographic north on the earth, the area we mentally consider absolute north, is not where the compass points. Following the N on your compass is not going to lead you to the North Pole; it will lead you to Prince of Wales Island. See illustration
The red dots indicate true north that is, the absolute geographic north of this planet(North Pole); and Magnetic North, 1, 500 niles in a southerly direction from it. The central axis (Agonic Line)of the magnetic field extends through the planet to the South Magnetic Pole at Antarctica. When off Florid a, both the North Pole and the Magnetic Pole are in line. The Compass truly points to the North Pole here but only briefly. It is merely incidental because Magnetic North is directly due south of the North pole here Christophe Columbus (1451-1506) Genoese(热那亚的) navigator and explored Caribbean islands, coast of Central America. South America. etc. in the 15th and 16th centuries Columbus is the first to have sailed through the Sargasso Sea and the bermuda triangle. he is also the first to have reported unusual events. Today it often claimed that on the eve of discovering the New world Columbus saw a fire ball plunge into the sea before his vessels. An "odd forecast"this has been called. Actually the event happened only a few days af ter leaving Canary Islands, far before the Bermuda Triangle But when traveling through the Bermuda Triangle truly unusual things did happen. See some line from the diary of that time Thursday 13 September 1492 On this day at the beginning of night the compasses northwested and in the morning they no rtheasted somewhat II. Text Structure Analysis: In this passage, we have a pattern which starts from specific details to something general whether they are conclusions, statements, or comments The whole passage can be divided into 3 parts 2

Ⅲ.Text Structure Analysis: In this passage, we have a pattern which starts from specific details to something general , whether they are conclusions, statements, or comments. The whole passage can be divided into 3 parts:
Part I(paras 1-3)some shocking event led us to the topic-the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. Para 1 starts with one shocking event of a mysterious disappearance of planes. Specific details have been included here Para 2 is a general introduction about the area, which tells what and where the Bermuda Triangle is: the Graveyard of the Atlantic Para 3 is how the public responds to the bermuda Tri angle: a lot of concern and interest but no answers produced Part I(paras 4-8)more mysterious recorded disappearances happened in the area and some explanations were provided. Para 4-5 offer us some more mysterious disappearances in the triangle Para 6-8 are about the general responses to the mysteries Part Ill (para 9)As the Bermuda Triangle remains a mystery to us, an institute is planning to organize many experts to look into the mysteries I. Writing Skill: a short composition that starts from specific details to some general conclusions.(归纳段落) Please look at the sample on page 290 Another sample The surface of the earth is chiefly water-- something that we, as dwellers on the land are apt to ignore or completely forget. As noted earlier, the Pacific Ocean alone covers nearly one third of the globe. The combined areas of all water bodies, including oceans, seas, and lakes, add up to nearly two and one-half times that of all the land of the earth. In other words about 71 per cent of the earths surface is water. In addition to the large expanses just waters that lie or move within the upper portion of the earth's crust. And there is water in vapor and condensed foms in the atmosphere. Thus, water is an important and practically all pervasive element in man's habitat. 这一段落首先提出“ the surface of the earth is chiefly water”这个主题。之后,该段落列举 事例详细是、说明主题句所指出的事实,并在这些事例的基础上归纳出有关水对人类重要性的 概括性结论来
