First show students the following material for them to read . After they have a little knowledge of the underwater archaeology , Teacher deal with the listening exercises on workbook. If students are interested in this subject, Teacher can ask them to surf on the Internet to find more information.

Underwater archaeology

Underwater archaeology as a specialisation of archaeology has only come into being in about the last thirty years. Before that time, divers could go down to ships, but they did not have the equipment to stay under water long enough to do their work. The development of better diving equipment and mini-submarines has also made it possible to reach sunken ships at greater depths, where it is too dark, the water pressure too high and temperatures too low for divers. The mini-submarines can also carry robots which can be operated from the ship to perform heavy or dangerous tasks. New technologies have also only in the past few decades been developed to help archaeologists locate sunken ships. Together with these techniques, computers and the development of the Internet have made it possible to search archives for information about ships and identify ships when they have been found.

Step5. Homework:

1. Search more information about historic persons, such as emperor Kangxi, emperor Qianglong.
