From brightly lit windows came the tinkle (发出清脆的声响)of laughter and the sound of singing. People were getting ready to bring in the New Year. But the poor little match seller sat sadly beside the fountain. Her ragged dress and worn scarf did not keep out the cold and she tried to keep her bare feet from touching the frozen ground. She hadn’t sold one box of matches all day and she was frightened to go home, for her father would certainly be angry. It wouldn’t be much warmer anyway, in the draughty attic (阁楼) that was her home. The little girl’s fingers were frozen with cold. If only she could light a match! But what would her father say at such a waste! Falteringly (迟疑地)she took out a match and lit it. What anice warm flame! The little match seller cupped her hand over it, and as she did so, she magically saw in its light a big brightly burning stove.She held out her hands to the heat, but just then the match went out and the vision faded. The night seemed blacker than before and it was getting colder. A shiver (寒噤) ran through the little girl’s thin body. After hesitating for a long time, she struck another match on the wall, and this time, the glimmer turned the wall into a great sheet of crystal. Beyond that stood a fine table laden with food and lit by a candlestick. Holding out her arms towards the plates, the little match seller seemed to pass through the glass, but then the match went out and the magic faded. Poor thing: in just a few seconds she had caught a glimpse of everything that life had denied her: warmth and good things to eat. Her eyes were filled with tears and she lifted her gaze to the lit windows, praying that she too might know a little of such happiness.She lit the third match and an even more wonderful thing happened. There stood a Christmas tree hung with hundreds of candles, glittering (闪烁) with tinsel (金属箔) and colored balls. “Oh. How lovely!” shouted the little match seller, holding up the match. Then, the match burned her finger and went out. The light from the Christmas candles rose higher and higher, then one of the lights fell, leaving a trail behind it. “Someone is dying,” murmured the little girl, as s he remembered her beloved Granny who used to say: “When a star falls, a heart stops beating!”Scarcely aware of what she was doing, the little match seller lit another match. This time, she saw her grandmother.“Granny, stay with me!” she pleaded, as she lit one match after the other, so that her grandmother could not disappear like all the other visions. However, Granny did not disappear but gazed smilingly at her. Then she opened her arms and the little girl hugged her crying: “Granny, take me away with you!”A cold day dawned and a pale sun shone on the fountain and the icy road. Close by lay the lifeless body of a little girl surrounded by spent matches.“Poor little thing!” exclaimed the passers-by. “She was trying to keep warm!”But by that time, the little match seller was far away where there is neither cold, hunger nor pain.I Aims and Demands（教学目的和要求）To learn a story about the little match girl written by Anderson.ⅡKey Points and Special Difficulties（重点和难点）Key points: to grasp some useful words and expressionsdeserted, fade, strike, hesitate, deny, exclaim, glimpse, aware, be frozen with, go out, strike a match, catch a glimpse ofSpecial difficulties:1) to learn Inversion.2) to learn v-ed phrases used as modifiersⅢTeaching Aids and Approaches（教具及教学方法）Multi-media, Task-based approach and the integrated approachⅣBrief Teaching Procedures（教学过程）Step1 Background information（背景知识）Do you know about the great tale writer Anderson?Can you list some of his masterpieces?Step2 Fast reading（快速阅读）Read the passage quickly and answer（快速阅读并回答下列问题）:1) Why didn’t the little girl strike a match to keep herself warm?2) What did the little girl see when the last vision appeared?Keys（参考答案）:1) She was afraid that her father would be angry.2) She saw her beloved grandmother who had died.Step3 Careful reading（细读）1.
