　　The social sciences are flourishing. As of 20xx, there were almost half a million professional social scientists from all fields in the world, working both inside and outside academia. According to the World Social Science Report 20xx, the number of social-science students worldwide has swollen by about 11% every year since 20xx. Yet this enormous resource in not contributing enough to today s global challenges including climate change, security, sustainable development and health.

　　(1)_________ Humanity has the necessary aggro-technological tools to eradicate hunger, from genetically engineered crops to artificial fertilizers. Here, too, the problems are social: the organization and distribution of food, wealth and prosperity.

　　(2) _________This is a shame--the community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influence in the real world. To paraphrase the great social scientist Joseph Schumpeter: there is no radical innovation without creative destruction.

　　Today, the social sciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarly debates, rather than on topics with external impact.

　　Analyses reveal that the number of papers including the keywords "environmental changed" or "climate change" have increased rapidly since 20xx, (3)_________

　　When social scientists do tackle practical issues, their scope is often local: Belgium is interested mainly in the effects of poverty on Belgium for example. And whether the community s work contribute much to an overall accumulation of knowledge is doubtful.

　　The problem is not necessarily the amount of available funding. (4)_________ This is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social scientists who complain about a lack of funding should not expect more in today s economic climate.

　　The trick is to direct these funds better. The European Union Framework funding programs have long had a category specifically targe

　　Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once

　　sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.

　　The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a cable in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.

　　報刊雜志的編輯常常為了向讀者提供成立一些關緊要的事實和統(tǒng)計數字而走向極端。去年，一位記者受一家有名的雜志的委托寫一篇關于非洲某個新成立共和國總統(tǒng)府的文章。稿子寄來后，編輯看第一句話就拒絕予以發(fā)表。文章的開頭是這樣的："幾百級臺階通向環(huán)繞總統(tǒng)的高墻。"編輯立即給那位記者發(fā)去傳真，要求他核實一下臺階的確切數字和圍墻的高度。

　　記者立即出發(fā)去核實這些重要的事實，但過了好長時間不見他把數字寄來，在此期間，編輯等得不耐煩了，因為雜志馬上要付印。他給記者先后發(fā)去兩份傳真，但對方毫無反應。于是他又發(fā)了一份傳真，通知那位記者說，若再不迅速答復，將被解雇。但記者還是沒有回復。編輯無奈，勉強按原樣發(fā)稿了。一周之后，編輯終于接到記者的`傳真。那個可憐的記者不僅被捕了，而且還被送進了監(jiān)獄。不過，他終于獲準發(fā)回了一份傳真。在傳真中他告訴編輯，就在他數通向15英尺高的總統(tǒng)府圍墻的1，084級臺階時，被抓了起來。

　　現代英語教學已經由傳統(tǒng)的知識型方法正迅速地向語言交際運用型教學方法過渡。也就是現在教育界說得較多的“素質教育”問題。英語，作為一門語言課，教師如何教、引導學生如何學？這不僅是目前要求每位教學一線執(zhí)教者和教育研究家必須回答的問題，而且是學校管理者、操作者以及全社會都關心的問題。學生素質的提高，一要靠自身臨場的發(fā)揮，更要靠平時教師對他們學習解題方法的訓練有素。教師如果靠時間一題一題的傳授，學生靠一題一題地記“會”，那么在考場上最多是個中分低能的機器，就不用說是將來適應社會了。會教的人，往往是教給學生金鑰匙；因此，只要你從事教育教學，你都不光是給學生灌輸知識，而必須走向學生“交鑰匙”的道路。對教學悟的深，你教給學生金鑰匙，悟的不深你交給學生銅鑰匙；哪怕你交給學生鐵鑰匙，也比交給他們現存的金山、銀山強。因為現在教材和考試的閱讀理解文章中，普遍源于英語報刊的“原汁原味”的真東西越來越多，“國產”英文材料越來越少；沒有拿到“鑰匙”的人，只能在知識殿堂的門外徘徊。

　　在小學階段要不要設立專門的閱讀訓練課程呢？訓練的具體方式和方法又是什么呢？本文擬就小學英語教學中閱讀教學方法問題作一些討論。

　　一，設立小學英語閱讀教學訓練的目的。

　　小學英語課程既是學生通過英語學習和實踐活動，逐步掌握英語知識和技能，提高語言實際運用能力的過程；又是他們磨礪意志、陶冶情操、拓展視野、豐富生活經歷、開發(fā)思維能力、發(fā)展個性和提高人文素養(yǎng)的過程�；�礎教研階段英語課程的任務是：激發(fā)和培養(yǎng)學生學習英語的興趣，使學生樹立自信心，養(yǎng)成良好的學習習慣和形成有效的學習策略，發(fā)展自主學習的能力和合作精神；使學生掌握一定的英語基礎知識和聽、說、讀、寫技能，形成一定的綜合運用語言能力；培養(yǎng)學生的觀察、記憶、思維、想象能力和創(chuàng)新精神；幫助學生了解世界和中西方文化差異，拓展視野，培養(yǎng)愛國主義精神，形成健康的人生觀，為他們的終身學習和發(fā)展打下良好的基礎。

　　因此，在教學實踐中，我嘗試在五年級的學生中開展英語短文的閱讀教學和閱讀訓練。為什么要在小學階段進行專題的英語閱讀的訓練呢？首先我們來談談什么是閱讀理解。閱讀理解是讀者從語篇中獲取信息的過程。著名語言學家Christine Nuttall認為，作者將自己頭腦中的信息編碼（encoding），形成語篇（text），讀者再把語篇解碼，獲取信息。作者要把他頭腦里的信息（一個主意，一個事實或一種情感）傳達出去，讓別人理解，他首先必須把信息形諸于文字，即編碼，作者亦被稱為編碼者。作者一旦完成了編碼過程，信息就以語篇的形式存在于作者的頭腦之外。閱讀過程則是一個解碼過程。作者要傳達的信息進入讀者頭腦，交際過程隨之完成。但是，交際過程并非如此簡單，因為在交際的各個環(huán)節(jié)中都可能出現“故障”，致使交際中斷，信息無法傳遞。信息在從作者的頭腦到達讀者的頭腦里的過程中，若干因素會影響讀者接受信息。這些因素被心理學家們稱之為變量。 “文字含義并不是僅僅存在于文本中的符號，被動地等待讀者吸收。閱讀者必須積極投入其中，努力挖掘它的'含義” 由此我們可以理解到在閱讀過程中，語言材料和讀者是交互作用的。文字含義既不存在于語篇（text）之中，也不存在于讀者之內，它產生于兩者相互作用之中。在英語閱讀過程中，存在著若干變量（ variables），這些變量無疑都會對閱讀理解產生影響。五年級的學生學習英語已有一段時間了，他們的聽說讀寫能力也有了一定的基礎，開展閱讀教學和閱讀訓練不但能關注每個學生情感，激發(fā)他們學習英語的興趣，還能幫助他們建立學習的成就感和自信心，使他們在學習過程中發(fā)展綜合語言運用能力，提高人文素養(yǎng)，增強實踐能力，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新精神。

　　二，小學英語課堂閱讀教學方法。

　　進入了五年級，課文從原來簡短的對話一下子轉換成較長的具有故事性的短文。而每個模塊的Unit2 則出現了50個詞左右的小短文，學習的要求從簡單的聽讀提高到閱讀理解短文內容并就課后提出的問題作出書面或口頭的回答。由于每課出現的問題有5－6個，有一般疑問句也有特殊疑問句，學生們一下子適應不了，覺得英語真難啊。個別學生還出現了抗拒的心理，說什么也不愿意開口讀，動手寫。

　　分析了學生學習的心理和學習的方法后，我馬上調整了教學計劃，在講授新課的同時注重這兩種句式的運用和分析。通過口頭的、書面的練習、學生們對問句的形式及回答的方式都做到心中有數。其方法如下：一、準確理解疑問詞―― 準確理解疑問詞是解答好提問的關鍵。要想準確回答特殊疑問句，則必須首先弄清楚各個特殊疑問詞的意思。如果指人要用who，若指物就用what；指年齡用how old，指時間用what time 、 when；若問 “數量”用how many（可數）或how much（不可數）；指地點用where，指原因用why，指程度用how等等。 二，一般疑問句的回答方式―― 一般疑問句的回答方式比較特別，學生們通過形式多樣的練習得出：以Yes / No,作開頭，回答時要含有問句的第一個詞或是回應問題的中心詞。如：Did Tom play football yesterday? 回答時可用：Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t. 回答從簡單的Yes / No，到規(guī)范的Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t. 再到No, he played basketball.逐步發(fā)展學生的英語運用能力。

　　在學習Sam ate six hamburgers中。我設置了以下的問題：

　　( 1 ) Who ate six hamburgers?

　　( 2 ) Did Lingling eat any hamburgers?

　　( 3 ) Does she like hamburgers?

　　( 4 ) What did they give to Sam?

　　( 5 ) What is Mum going to cook tonight?

　　通過以上的訓練，學生們在回答問題時會分析問題中一般疑問句的有( 2 ) Did Lingling eat any hamburgers? ( 3 ) Does she like hamburgers?；特殊疑問句的是( 1 ) Who ate six hamburgers? ( 4 ) What did they give to Sam?( 5 ) What is Mum going to cook tonight?。針對各種問題的回答方式，他們就會很輕松地回答：

　　( 1 ) Who ate six hamburgers?

　　Sam. / Sam ate six hamburgers.

　　( 2 ) Did Lingling eat any hamburgers?

　　No, she didn’t. / No, she ate a sandwich.

　　( 3 ) Does she like hamburgers?

　　No, she doesn’t. / No.

　　( 4 ) What did they give to Sam?

　　They gave their hamburgers to Sam. / Hamburgers.

　　( 5 ) What is Mum going to cook tonight?

　　She is going to cook Chinese food tonight. / Chinese food.

　　這樣的閱讀訓練，結合了閱讀的理解和解題技巧的培養(yǎng)，課程設置從易到難，讓學生們，特別是一些中下生都能感受到成功的樂趣。

　　接下來，在閱讀教學中，采用提問式、談話式、討論式教學法，將課堂教學引向激發(fā)——創(chuàng)造性模式。閱讀文章時,對所學文章要點,教師提出要求,學生閱讀,尋找答案、引導學生閱讀時注意抓住全文的主旨。主要有：

　　（1） 導讀（Pre-reading）

　　“導”體現的是“以教師為主導”。教師在學生閱讀課文之前可適當的講解與本課有關的背景知識；也可以充分利用文中的插圖進行導讀語言設計。通過warm-up activities掃除文中可能出現的語言障礙（但有些生詞詞義應該鼓勵學生從所學的同義詞、英語短語中猜測），還可以提出一些問題。目的是激發(fā)學生閱讀的興趣和求知的欲望，并使學生初步感知課文內容，為正式閱讀作了準備。例如在教授Module 7 Community. He can’t see. 我利用實物投影出示了狗幫助人類的兩幅圖片。

　　T: Look at these pictures, please! Who helps the man?

　　Ss: A dog.

　　T: Can the man see?

　　Ss: No, he can’t.

　　T: Yes, the man is blind. What about the girl? Can she hear ?

　　Ss: A dog helps her. She can’t hear.

　　T: Good. The girl can’t hear, she’s deaf. The dogs are very useful.

　　通過對話不僅使學生了解了本文主要談論的是狗是人類的朋友，也從彩圖中領略到哪些人需要得到狗的幫助及本課的一些新詞 can’t see : blind, can’t hear: deaf。

　　（2） 速讀（Fast-reading）

　　這一步驟主要是指導學生帶著問題進行搜索式閱讀和跳躍式的閱讀（Skimming and Scanning），以獲取有關信息，了解文章大義。然后讓學生回答有關問題，或讓學生做正誤判斷練習，以檢查學生的理解程度。

　　例如：Module 6 Self-assessment

　�、� Lingling wants to be in the football team（T）

　�、� She can’t run fast. (T)

　�、� She was good at football in China. (F) …

　　(3)細讀（Intensive reading）

　　這一步驟主要引導學生逐步仔細閱讀課文，了解課文的主要情節(jié)和細節(jié)，就課文內容情節(jié)提一些問題，讓學生分析段落大以及段落之間的聯(lián)系或中心思想。對文中尚未叫過的生詞和習慣用于句式，可鼓勵學生根據上下文利用已學過的知識去猜測去推斷。目的是培養(yǎng)學生獨立分析、獨立思考和邏輯推理的能力，以及用英語思維的習慣。

　　例如：在細讀 You can play football well 之后涉及的一道題中。

　　Lingling was a good ______ player in China.

　　A. the high jump B. basketball C. football

　　正確答案應選B。而選A向的同學僅9.4%選C的占75%。當提醒學生在注意原文中的句子“You were very good at basketball in China.”其中的you指的就是 Lingling時，學生才恍然大悟。教師乘機告訴學生，讀的過程中要仔細分析字里行間的意思在下結論。

　　三，其他訓練的方式。

　　Bolinger & Sear 在“Aspects of language”一書（1981.2）中說語言是思維的重要工具，也是一個人的語言運用水平和交際的能力。傳統(tǒng)的教學中使大多數學生聽得懂說不出。因此，在整體理解課文的基礎上，通過一連串的聽說活動深化對語言的理解, 然后開展運用語言的活動，把理解和運用有機的結合起來。

　　1）單人或雙人活動（Individual or Pair work）

　　為了鞏固學生所學的知識，及時檢查學生對課文理解的程度。速讀和細讀之后組織學生一人或兩人一組的活動。教師問，學生答，或學生一人問一人答。這能使學生掌握文章的事實和細節(jié)。還可鼓勵學生分析主題句，歸納段落大意，中心思想等。例如：What’s the main idea of the text? / What does it talk about?

　　2）小組討論與回答（Discussion & Respond）

　　Module 8 Unit 2為例。教師提出問題,Did Lingling write a letter to Daming? / Did she go to Amy’s school? / Did they have class at nine? / Did they do exercises? / Did the bell ring at eight?…讓學生在小組內自由回答或討論答案。讓學生通過回答問題和討論答案初步了解課文的意思。教師在聽學生回答問題的過程中也可以弄清學生的薄弱環(huán)節(jié)。這樣的閱讀訓練,就能有的放矢,既不浪費時間,又能吸引學生的注意力。學生在解答問題的同時,閱讀能力和口語能力都得到了鍛煉。同時也提高了學生的邏輯思維能力和語言運用能力。通過小組學習、自我學習、教師輔助學習等形式，讓學生明白到課文的理解并不是逐字逐句的譯成中文，而是理解關鍵的詞組和了解短文的大意。并指導學生在做題之前先觀察問題的類型，從問句中找出關鍵詞，再從原文中找出相應的句子，分析、綜合之后再做題。

　　3）“雙主體”教育模式。

　　此外我還注意因學生特點實施教學。學生的發(fā)展狀況受先天遺傳和后天環(huán)境、教育的影響，在學習英語知識、培養(yǎng)技能和能力的認知過程中存在著認知的個別差異。認知差異既體現在認知能力方面，也體現在認知風格上，學生的發(fā)展因此呈現出豐富多彩的特點。通過因材施教使全體學生的素質得到全面發(fā)展，為全面提高英語教學質量提供重要保證。在教學中要充分發(fā)揮學生的主體作用，使他們排除心理障礙，建立信心，提高學習興趣，改進學習方法。同時，在教學中要發(fā)揮教師的指導作用，組織好課內外各種活動和指導學生學習英語的方法，為他們選材、解疑，幫助他們養(yǎng)成良好的學習習慣和培養(yǎng)自學能力，從而保持高昂的學習積極性。在英語閱讀教學中,介紹閱讀內容和文化背景，精心設計好各類問題，逐步加深理解。引導學生對文章內容進行預測，激發(fā)學生閱讀的欲望，在分析問題的過程中獲得知識。在閱讀時,教師要引導學生喚起想象與抽象思維更好地協(xié)同活動, 語言知識的講解要適度，操練要結合語境，使文章內容更有生動現實感,使學生有身臨其境的感覺,這樣就能提高閱讀效果。

　　其實，不單在英語閱讀教學中教師要這樣做，在日常教學中，教師應遵循“雙主體”的教學模式：教師為主導，學生為主體，學生在教師的指導下積極主動地去學習。教師在教學中尊重學生，相信學生，把學習的主動權交給學生，放手讓學生自己去大膽學習、實踐，充分調動學生的積極性，發(fā)揮其主觀能動性和潛能，才能達到發(fā)展智力、培養(yǎng)能力的目的。學生作為主體參與課堂教學，讓學生積極參與教學過程，在參與中得到訓練和發(fā)展。

　　相信經過長時間有計劃、有目的的系統(tǒng)訓練，學生加快閱讀速度，提高閱讀的正確性，這兩者一定能有機地統(tǒng)一起來。以提高學生閱讀英語和運用英語進行交際的能力，為繼續(xù)學習和運用英語切實打好基礎。

　　There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trials to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy? Always put yourself in others’shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person, too.The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness lies for those who cry,those who hurt, those who have searched,and those who have tried,for only they can appreciate the importance of people.who have touched their lives.Love begins with a smile,grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in lifeuntil you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

　　When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die,you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.Please send this message to those people who mean something to you,to those who have touched your life in one way or another,to those who make you smile when you really need it,to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down,to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.And if you don’t, don’t worry,nothing bad will happen to you,you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with this message.

　　Bing in love

　　Love starts as an attraction to another. Love grows with mutual respect. Love thrives on confidence and dignity. Love survives on wisdom and honor.

　　New love, stirs the emotions, moves the soul and fires the blood setting hearts aflame. Love of amate provides us with another soul to feel kinship, with someone to share life with, someone tobe loved, in spite of shortcomings and human frailties. Someone to recall the past with, to dreamwith. Someone with whom silence is comfortable. Another soul on the earth who is in tune withyours . Someone who cares deeply about your well being and who in turn is cared for by you…just as deeply.

　　Someone whose happiness means as much, if not more than your own . Someone to place your trust in without fear of betrayal .Not having to worry when you’re apart, because you are secure in the knowledge that they will honor the love you share. Someone to helpfully grow old beside, to share the winter of life with, while recalling the summer of your dreams .

　　A lover is someone who, with a look, can touch your heart, ease your mind and bring comfort to your soul.

　　A lover is someone who, with a look, can touch your heart, ease your mind and bring comfort to your soul. Someone whose voice is music to your ear. Someone who by just entering a room makes your heart soar and joy fill your being, makes you want to touch them, be close to them. Who can turn your blood to molten fire with desire, their presence being food for your soul. Someone for whom your love grows stronger not weaker with the passing years. Someone who is willing to talk out problems and share concerns, not look for an easy way out if all does not go just as expected.

　　Someone to share all thing with: tenderness, passion, warmth, dreams and desire, laughter and tears but mostly life’s journey. A casually dropped piece of clothing can bring your love to mind as the scent of them clings, and turns your thoughts to love, as pleasant memories collect to be reviewed at leisure.

　　Love of a partner requires long-term commitment and wisdom and above all, work from both partners to nourish and nurture that love into a living growing thing. Without nourishment, all things die, even love.

　　Do not easily discard love, for the day may come when love, in turn, discards you. Place a high value in this the most precious of life’s joys. Some never find this treasure, many find and lose it through no fault of their own.. Some discard it lightly as if it were of little value and easily replaced. The ability to love and be loved is the most precious of gifts given to man, and as such should be highly treasured.

　　Love has the real power to make man come bake to life . —— Goethe

　　愛始于他人的吸引，因互相尊重而成長，因自信與高貴而茁長，因英明與榮譽而幸存。

　　新生的愛情，攪動沉寂的情感，攪動靈魂，點燃心中的熱血。夫妻之愛，使你感覺來自另一個靈魂的親情，與他分享生活。愛一個人，就不在意他身上的缺點和人性的脆弱。與他一起，可以有意義深遠的交談，并規(guī)劃未來；可以與他一起回憶從前，暢想未來。有了他，沉默也令人舒服。世界上的另一個靈魂與你和諧而鳴，他更關心你的健康，你也一樣深深地牽掛著他。

　　他的快樂意味著你同樣，甚或更多的快樂。他讓你相信愛情，不再害怕背叛。即使離別也沒有絲毫擔憂，因為你確信他會堅守你們的愛。他讓你充滿希望地老去，他會同你一起追憶夢中的夏季，共度生命的寒冬。

　　愛人，就是那個一眼就能觸動你的心靈、放松你的精神、帶給你靈魂安慰的人。

　　愛人，就是那個一眼就能觸動你的心靈、放松你的精神、帶給你靈魂安慰的人。他的聲音是你耳中的樂曲。他剛剛進入房門，你的心跳就會加速，無比的喜悅之情溢滿全身，讓你有種想接觸他、靠近他的沖動。他點燃你心中渴望的熱血，他的存在是你的心靈食糧。你對他的愛與日俱增，不會隨著時間的`流逝有絲毫的減退。他愿意同你一起解決困難，分擔憂慮。假如一切不能如期進行，他不會坐視不管，逃之夭夭。他和你分享一切：柔情、激情、親切、夢想和渴望、歡笑、淚水，還有最多的人生之旅。他不經意間換下的衣物，像有他的體香一樣，都可以喚起你的愛意，將你的思緒帶入愛情，就像閑暇時回憶快樂的記憶一樣。

　　愛一個人，就要承擔長期的責任，這需要睿智。更重要的是，需要雙方不斷努力滋養(yǎng)和培育愛情，使之成為一種有生命的、不斷成長的事物。一切都需要滋養(yǎng)，愛情亦是如此。

　　不要輕易拋棄愛，因為或許有一天，愛會反過來將你拋棄。請診視生命中這份最寶貴的快樂。有些從未發(fā)現愛情的珍貴，很多人找到了，卻又無端的地失去了。有些人輕輕地將愛丟棄，似乎它毫無價值，似乎愛可以隨意代替。愛與被愛的能力是上天賜予人的珍貴禮物，正因如此，愛應該好好珍藏。

　　愛是使人復蘇的真正動力。 ——歌德

　　The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.

　　The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

　　Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. I realized a few years ago why we all need to climb a mountain every now and then. When we climb mountains, face challenges, hurdle1 obstacles and learn from difficult situations we remind ourselves that we have the strength, power and energy to overcome life's challenges. At first even a little mountain may seem like a big insurmountable mountain. But when you step back and climb it you realize, "I can do this." You realize within you is a source of strength, power and energy that you didn't know you had. After all, the mountain, no matter how big it is, is no match for your focused energy and desire to climb it. Mountains are meant to be climbed. Wounds are meant to be healed and problems are meant to become learning experiences. They all serve a purpose. They make us stronger mentally, emotionally and spiritually. So, here we are, in front of us is that mountain, don’t hesitate, just go ahead and climb it, climb that mountain.

　　一、摒棄6大不良閱讀習慣。

　　1.讀得非常慢，非常仔細，不相信自己能全部理解所讀的東西。

　　2.閱讀時嘴唇和舌頭在動。

　　3.頭隨著文字符號的位置左右移動。

　　4.經�；刈x，讀過的東西又重新讀一遍、甚至幾遍。

　　5.讀什么樣體裁的文章都用一樣的速度。

　　6.有很多單詞不認識，或不知道它在此處的含義。

　　二、帶著6個問題閱讀：

　　1.作者要表達的主要思想。

　　2.文章的主要內容和次要內容，并能把他們區(qū)分開來。

　　3.了解并記住文章中最重要的內容。

　　4.文章結構及事件發(fā)生的時間、空間順序。

　　5.作者的觀點、意圖、寫作風格及其偏見等。

　　6.用自己的閱歷和知識對文章進行分析、評價。

　　三、遇到生詞要會猜,閱讀中遇到生詞，最好的方法是通過上下文猜測。

　　1.看看上下文中有沒有生詞的另一種說法，即找同義詞。有時下文會對一個詞做解釋，或者提供一些暗示。

　　2.看詞性，判斷其是名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞或其他詞類。

　　3.分析生詞的構成，尤其是詞的前綴和后綴。英語中很多詞都是加前綴和后綴而來的。比如根據前綴re-和后綴-ity的.含義，你就可以準確地猜出rewrite和similarity的意思。

　　4.看看同一生詞是否在上下文的其他地方出現，把兩處的語境相比較，也許更能準確地猜出詞義。

　　5.充分利用你閱讀內容中已有的知識。

　　四、以下幾條建議可以幫助推論：

　　1.結合作者的思想、觀點及其創(chuàng)作目的、創(chuàng)作背景進行推論。

　　2.尋找作者直接陳述的諸多事件之間的聯(lián)系。

　　3.仔細體會一些重要詞的含蓄意義及其感情色彩。比如politician和statesman的意思都是“政客家”，但前者有貶義的色彩，即“政客”，后者則沒有。

　　4.從作者的語氣、語調、措辭等文體特征，讀出作者的“言外之意”。

　　5.得出推論后，盡量從上下文中尋找證據。

　　6.充分利用自己各方面的知識，把文章中所述的事件和自己的閱歷或熟悉的事情聯(lián)系起來思考。

　　The Three Ways of Man to Preserve Meat

　　Finding enough meat was a problem for primitive man．Keeping it for times when it was scarce was just as hard．Three ways were found to keep meat from spoiling：salting，drying，and freezing．

　　People near salty waters salted their meat．At first they probably rubbed dry salt on it，but this preserved only the outside．Later they may have pickled their meat by soaking it in salt water．

　　In hot，dry lands，men found that they could eat meat that had dried while it was still on the bones．They later learned to cut meat into thin strips and hang it up to dry in the hot air．

　　Men in cold climates found that frozen meat did not spoil．They could leave their meat outside and eat it when they pleased．

　　人類儲存肉的三種方法

　　對原始人類來說，獲得充足的肉是件難事，而把肉類儲存到缺肉的時令也同樣不容易。人們找到了防止肉類變腐的`三種辦法：鹽腌、風干和冷凍。

　　靠近咸水地帶的居民用鹽腌肉。起先，他們可能是把干鹽擦在肉上，但這只能使肉的外部不腐。后來，他們也許就改用咸水浸泡的辦法來腌肉了。

　　在炎熱、干燥的地方，人們發(fā)現他們可以食用已經變干、但仍連在骨骼上的肉。后來，他們學會把肉切成薄條，懸掛起來，讓它在炎熱的空氣中變干。

　　生活在寒冷氣候下的人們則發(fā)現凍肉不腐。他們可以把肉置于室外，高興時隨時可吃。

　　面朝南方Facing South

　　An old friend used to say to me, "When you are thinking of buying a new house, go and see it on a cloudy day. If you like it then, you need not doubt about liking it in better weather."

　　一個老朋友曾經告訴我:"當你考慮買一套新房時,就趁陰天的時候過去看房吧。因為如果那時你喜歡它的話,那么在天氣晴朗的日子里你一定也會喜歡它。

　　We all enjoy the sun. The sun is the source of heat and life to the earth. Yet people are still to be found who deliberately shut out the sun from their rooms, and are unmindful of the Italian saying that where the sun does not go the doctor does. In this country, especially, we know the value of "facing south".

　　"我們都喜歡陽光。太陽是地球上熱量與生命的來源。然而,我們仍然發(fā)現有些人總是故意關上門,將陽光擋在門外,他們忽略了一句意大利諺語"日光不上門,醫(yī)生便上門"。在這個國家里,我們都知道"面朝南方"的重要性。

　　Are we not like houses? We have eyes instead of windows, but we face south, north, east, or west. Who does not know the men and the women facing north? Hard and cold, never letting a ray of sun-shine into their souls. They stand away from all the cheers and warmth of our poor humanity. They are the people who pour cold water on all our enthusiasms, have no faith in human nature, no sympathy with human sufferings.

　　我們不就像是房子嗎?只不過我們沒有窗戶,但是我們擁有眼睛,我們可以選擇面朝各個方向。我們都知道那些面朝北方的人們是怎樣的。他們頑固而冷酷,從不讓一絲陽光照進他們的心靈。他們總是躲在角落里,拒絕人性的歡樂與溫暖。他們總是澆滅旁人熱情的火焰,不相信人性,冷眼看待他人的痛苦。

　　You must know such people. They are not rich people, perfectly healthy, or people without sorrows. On the contrary, they have had a full measure of misfortune. But they have never changed their outlooks4 on life, in their faith in all things working together for good, in their belief that they are in this world to help where help is needed. What a consolation5 such people are! We go to them in entire confidence. We leave them the better and the brighter, with a firmer step, and the determination to win through the difficulties. They are "facing south".

　　你必定也認識這樣一種人:他們不是有錢人,不是身體特別健全的人,也不是無憂無慮的人。相反,他們的生活中充滿了不幸。但他們從不改變對生活的態(tài)度,在他們看來,所有的事情都在朝著好的'方向發(fā)展,他們堅持幫助那些需要幫助的人。他們能給人帶來極大的安慰!我們滿懷信心地靠近他們,離開他們的時候變得更加樂觀和開朗,我們的腳步會變得更為堅定,戰(zhàn)勝困難的決心也會更大。他們就是"面朝南方"的人。

　　When Adam and Eve wereexpelledfrom Eden, there was an incident when the flames of a blazing sword of an angel, who had sent them away, burned a birds' nest.

　　The birds were all burned to death, but a new bird was born from one of theruddilyheated eggs. This means that the unique 'Phoenix' was born.

　　The phoenix builds its nest in Arabia, and there is a myth that it set fire to its own nest once every 100 years. Among those ruddy eggs heated by the fire, a new Phoenix comes to be born again.

　　The phoenix flies as fast as a ray of light, its feathers are ofdazzlingbeauty, and the sound of its voice is very sweet.

　　When a mother sits next to her baby's cradle and dandles the baby, the Phoenix comes down to the baby's pillow, and the glaring feathers of Phoenix make a halo around the baby's head. The phoenix flies around rooms of poor people,sprinklessunshine, and carries the fragrance of violets into the rooms.

　　The phoenix stays not only in Arabia but it flies around the far North Pole, broad field, above the rivers where the sunshine falls in coal mines and in our front yards where beautiful flowers bloom.

　　On the carriage of the Greek tragic poet, Thespis, the Phoenix became atalkativecrow, for the troubadours of Island it played the harp disguised as a swan, and on the shoulder of Shakespeare the phoenix whispered "eternity" as it was the Odin's crow.

　　The phoenix sang beautiful songs, and people kissed its shining fallen feathers from its wings. Even though the Phoenix came from glorious Paradise, people may not see the Phoenix because they are busy with seeingsparrows.

　　The bird of the Paradise! Born once every 100 years, dies in flames! When it was born under the tree of wisdom in the garden of the Paradise, God kissed the Phoenix and gave him a name. That was "Poetry and Art".

　　Before the Rio Olympic Games came, the media reported some players that caught people’s attention. There is no doubt that these players have beautiful faces, which helps them win the attention. But the more important thing is that they are not only talented, but also work very hard.

　　The chance to take part in the Olympic Games means the players are excellent and they have stood out in their countries. If they win the golden medal in the Olympic Games, they will gain great fame and money around the world. The beautiful face brings players the market potential, which means they will be famous easily, but on the condition that they are the top players. Mariah Sharapova is the best example. She is beautiful and top tennis player all the time. So ability decides our position on the society.
