1 Dogs
People often say that a dog is man's best friend. Over thousands of years, man has taught his dogs to do many kinds of work besides guarding the home. For example, sheepdogs are famous for their ability to control a flock of hundreds of sheep.
Dogs have been used to aid disabled people for centuries. A guide dog can lead its blind owner. Nowadays, dogs can be taught to turn on light switches, open refrigerator doors and dial the telephone for their disabled owners. For the majority of people, however, dogs are simply pets and friends for both young and old members of the family.

狗
人们总是说狗是人类最好的朋友。几千年来，除了看家外，人类还教会了狗去做许多其他的事，例如，牧羊犬就因其可以控制数百只羊的羊群而出名。
狗用来帮助残疾人已有好几个世纪了。导盲犬可以为盲主人引路。现在，人们还教狗为残疾主人打开电灯、开冰箱和拨电话。然而，对于大多数人来说，狗只是家里老人和孩子们的宠物和朋友。

4 Perfect Match
A rich woman is so proud of a valuable antique vase that she decides to have her bedroom painted the same colour as the vase. Several painters try to mix the colour right, but none comes close enough to satisfy the woman.
Eventually, a painter comes. He is confident that he can mix the proper colour. The woman is pleased with the result, and the painter becomes famous. Years later, he retires and turns the business over to his son. "Dad,"asks the son, "there's something I've got to know. How did you get those walls to match the vase so perfectly?"
"Son,” the father replies, "I painted the vase."

5 A Barbecue
When I was a child, I once went camping with my family in the summer. We decided to make a barbecue in the valley. So we collected some tree sticks to make a fire. My father asked me if I could try to make a fire. I was glad to take the job. Then I tried to set fire to the wood with a match, but produced only smoke. Then my father said, "That's not the right way. I'll show you how to do it. First use the small pieces of wood because they catch fire easily. Then put the larger ones on top of them."My father helped me make a big fire.

6 A Joke—“I stand corrected”
I have this friend who always seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out. For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went. Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right. A quick bit of surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans. “So,”I said, "You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg. He just looked at me and said, "I stand corrected.

笑话——“我诚恳认错”
我有一个朋友，他似乎总是微微向左倾斜。这个问题曾经非常困扰我，所以我建议他去看医生，检查一下他的腿。几年来，他总是不听我的建议，还说我不正常，但是上星期，他终于去看了医生。果真，医生发现他的左腿比右腿短四分之一英寸。一个很快的小手术后，他康复了，现在他的两条腿完全一样长了，他也不再倾斜了。“你看，”我说，“那时我告诉你医生可以治好你的腿时你还不相信我呢。”他看着我说：“我认错了。”
7 Making a Kite
One day, Paula and Richard decided to make a kite. First they went out and found two straight sticks of the same length. They brought them back home and tied them with a piece of string into the shape of a cross. Then they took some string and used it to tie the four ends of the sticks together. Then, they spread some brightly coloured paper over the frame and glued it around the string. They stuck a tail made of paper to one of the corners, and tied a
long string to the centre of the kite. On the next windy day, they took the kite to a hill near their house and flew it.

8 Animals in Danger
Some of the animals and birds in the rainforest, such as monkeys and
woodpeckers, live in the treetops. They are always swinging and flying from one
tree to another looking for food among the leaves and branches. They even sleep
in the treetops so they do not have to come down to the ground.
Have you heard that such animals and birds in the rainforests are in danger?
Because people are cutting down so many trees in the forests, the animals are
losing their homes. Do you know the reasons for it? Yes, people want wood, paper
and land. As a result many animals and plants are dying. Some forests are so
badly damaged that they become deserts.

濒危动物
一些雨林中的动物和鸟类生活在树顶上，例如猴子和啄木鸟。它们总是从一棵树荡到或飞到另一棵树上，在树叶和树枝间寻找食物。它们甚至在树顶睡觉，所以它们不用到地面上来。
你知道吗？雨林中的这些动物正处于危险中。因为人们砍伐了森林中的许多树，动物们失去了家园。你知道人们砍树的原因吗？是的，人们需要木材、纸和土地。所以，许多动物和植物正在消亡。一些森林遭到了严重的破坏，变成了沙漠。
9 English in the World
Some people say that the English language no longer belongs to the English,
and it belongs to the world. It is estimated that the number of people who use
English exceeds 750 million. Among these, about 350 million are native
speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add to this
number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is
close to one billion.
English plays an increasingly important role in the world as a medium for
conducting international business and diplomacy, as well as in science and
medicine, the Internet, air and sea communications, international sports
events, radio and TV programs, pop songs and movies.

英语，作为进行国际业务和外交的工具，在世界上起着越来越重要的作用。它还在科学、医药、互联网、空中及海洋通信、国际体育赛事、电台电视节目、流行歌曲及电影中发挥着越来越重要的作用。

to guess what the words mean from the words you know, but when you cannot
guess the meanings of new words at all, what should you do?
You have a good friend then. From him you can learn what a word means, how to
pronounce a word, how to use a word, and so on. This friend can always be with

11 “I Have Never Heard You in Carmen”
Mark Twain was once invited by a friend to go to the opera. The friend was
very rich. He and his wife had their own box at the theatre. During the opera
the friend's wife talked all the time. She also talked rather loudly. She
talked so much that it was often difficult for Mark Twain to listen to the
opera. Toward the end of the opera she turned to Mark Twain and said, "Oh, my
dear Mark Twain, I do want you to be with us again next Friday night. I'm sure
you will like it — the opera will be Carmen."
"Thank you very much,"said Mark Twain. "That will be fine. I have never heard
you in Carmen."

歌剧临近结束时，她转而对马克?吐温说：“噢，我亲爱的马克?吐温，我真的想让你再和我们一起度过下周五。我保证你会喜欢的——下周的歌剧是《卡门》。”
“非常感谢，”马克?吐温说。“想来会很好。我还从未听过你唱《卡门》。”
12 Learning English in England
I came to England last summer. I have been in England for eleven months. I am
going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave for China next
month.
At first it was very difficult for me to communicate with other people in
English. Now I can speak English much better, and even understand English
television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have
helped me a lot.
I have lots of English friends now. Some of them have even invited me for
dinner at their houses. They are interested to learn about China and Chinese
people. Every time they ask me a lot of questions, I realize how little I know
about my own country.
communicate 交流
在英国学英语
去年夏天，我来到英国。现在我在英国已经待了十一个月了。我将很快结束在英国的学习，下个月我就将回中国了。
一开始，我觉得很难用英语和别人交流。现在我英语说得好多了，甚至可以看懂英语电视，这是因为我学习很努力，老师和同学对我的帮助也很大。现在我有许多英国朋友。一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家吃饭。他们对中国和中国人很感兴趣。每当他们问我许多问题时，我才意识到自己对祖国的了解是如此之少。
13 The Hare and the Tortoise
One day a hare was telling the other animals how fast he could run. "I can
beat anyone!"cried he. "Will one of you try a race with me?"
"I will,?said the tortoise.
"You!?laughed the hare. "Oh, oh, how funny!?
"Save your laughing for the end of the race,?said the tortoise.
So a starting line was made, and away they went. The hare ran fast and was
soon far ahead, so he sat down to rest. By the time the tortoise came up, the
hare was sleeping.
On and on went the tortoise, and when the hare looked up at last, it was too
late.
There sat the tortoise by the sign that said: The End.

一天，兔子正在向其他动物炫耀他能跑得很快。“我能跑过任何人。”他喊道。
“你们有谁想和我比一比吗？”“我。”乌龟说。“你！”兔子笑道，“哦，哦，太滑稽了！”“留着到比赛结束后笑吧。”乌龟说。
他们划了条起跑线，出发了。兔子跑得飞快，很快就跑到了前面，所以他坐下来休息。等到乌龟赶上来时，他睡着了。
乌龟一直往前走，当兔子最后醒来时，已经太晚了。乌龟坐在一块牌子旁，上面写着：终点。
14 Helping Parents
Parents often get angry because of their trouble in their lives. Let's say
that your mother is not happy about her boss. If she doesn't have other ways
of expressing her emotions, she might come home and yell at you, scream at
your dad, kick at the dog, or even say something mean to you.
Here's how to handle it when an adult in your life has trouble controlling his
or her anger: Don't make it worse. Angry people can have trouble thinking
clearly, so try not to do or say anything to make things worse. Wait till your
parent cools off, then talk to him or her in a calm tone, and try to explain
how the anger is affecting you.
yell 大叫，呼喊scream 尖声喊叫handle 处理adult 成年人
cool off 平静下来tone 语气affect 影响
帮助父母
父母常常因为他们生活中的烦恼而生气。我们举个例子，比如你妈妈对她的上司不满。假如她没有其他方法发泄她的情绪，她就可能回到家冲你大声嚷嚷，对你爸爸大喊大叫，踢家里的狗，或者甚至对你说一些难听的话。
当你身边的大人控制不住他们的怒火时，你应付的方法是：别让情况变得更糟糕。生气的人很
难保持思维清晰，所以不要做，也不要说任何会使事情变得更糟的事或话。先等你的父母平静下来，然后再心平气和地和他们谈，并想办法说明他们的怒火是如何影响你的。

16 Charles Chaplin
One day a small boy called Charles Chaplin was walking along the street in
London. It was a cold winter's day in 1900. He wanted to buy some bread, but
he didn't have any money. His father had died when he was very young. He and
his brother, Sid, had to work to help their sick mother.
Although Charles was small, his dream was very big. He wanted to be a great
man in the world of films, so he worked very hard to become a good dancer and
singer.
Thirty years later, this same boy was among the most famous people in the
world.
Even if you do not understand English, you can enjoy his films, because no
words are used in his films.

19 A Young Pioneer
Long ago, when the western part of the United States was still a wilderness, a
young boy, called Kit, not yet twenty years old, went from his home in the
East to learn about the new country. He wanted to know what lay beyond the
Rocky Mountains.
Kit's father had taught him to shoot straight, but he learned more about
hunting and trapping in the country of the Indians.
Kit was always calm in times of danger. He was strong and brave. Most of the
Indians liked and respected him for his honesty.
For many years, Kit lived in the West. He taught other white men many things.
Probably the most important thing he taught them was how to get along with the
Indians.

21 The Eagle and the Raven
An eagle was trying to break open a nut in his beak when a raven landed on a
branch beside him. The raven eyed the nut hopefully, "You'll never break it
like that,"he said. "If I were you I would fly up in the sky as high as I
could, then drop the nut onto the rocks. It's the only way you'll get at the
kernel."
The eagle flew up into the sky, then let the nut fall down, down, down to the
ground. The raven hopped quickly from his branch and seized the nut in his
beak. By the time the eagle had found his way back to the right place, all
that was left was a broken piece of shell.

鹰飞向空中，然后让坚果落下，落下，落到地面。渡鸦飞快地跳离树干，叼住了坚果。当鹰寻旧路折回时，地上只剩下一些破碎的果壳了。

23 A Bus Ride
One day I was on a bus. I found an elderly woman standing in front of me. She
had a big bag in her hand. "It's a virtue for a young person to help the
old,"I said to myself.
When I was standing up to give my seat to the old lady, a young foreigner got
up quickly saying, "Please sit down."The old lady thanked him and sat down.
She looked very happy.
I was a little embarrassed because I was sitting in the middle of the bus.
Suddenly a pregnant woman got onto the bus. I quickly stood up to give up my
seat to her. The foreigner smiled at me. He said that he was an Australian,
and was a student studying Chinese culture in China.

24 The Dog and His Shadow
It happened that a dog had some meat that he wanted to eat at home. On his
way home he met a river. As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water.
"Just look!"said he to himself. "That dog down there has some meat, too. If I
could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!"
With this thought, he made a snap at the other dog's meat. And as he did, his
own meat fell into the water. So then he had nothing at all.
Then he saw that the other dog had lost his meat, too. "That is as it should
be!?thought he. "For I saw him trying to take my meat away from me."
By wanting to have everything, he has lost everything he had!

时，在水里他看到了他的影子。

那我今晚就可以美餐一顿了！”
带着这个想法，他朝另一只狗的肉扑去。当他这么做时，他自己的肉掉进了水里。所以
他就什么都没有了。
然后，他看到另一只狗的肉也没了。“活该！”他想，“因为我看到他想从我这里抢走
我的肉。”什么都想要，却失去了原来所拥有的！
25 Managing Your Emotions
What makes me angry? Mostly, I hate when someone tries to make someone else
feel bad. I have to admit that once, when I was really angry, I actually
called names. I regretted doing this afterwards, but not full heartedly
because I think I was provoked in that situation.
The most positive way of dealing with anger is talking about the problem. I
talk to someone who listens, or I'll write my thoughts down on paper. Learning
how to deal with anger as you're growing up is so important. When you're
younger, you might yell, or cry when you're angry, but as you get older,
you're expected to handle your emotions much better.
Learning to control your emotion now will prevent you from doing something
that you'll regret later on in life!
emotion 情绪manage 控制，操纵，管理admit 承认
full heartedly 全心全意地provoke 激怒prevent 预防，防止
控制你的情绪
什么事会让我愤怒呢？通常情况下，当有人试图使别人觉得不舒服时，我会非常愤怒。我不得不承认，有一次，在我实在很生气的时候，我确实骂了人。过后，我很后悔那么做，但我不认为全是我的错，因为我觉得在那种情况下，我是被激怒了。
解决愤怒的最积极的方法是把问题说出来。我说给愿意听的人，或者把我的想法写在纸上。在你成长的过程中，学会处理愤怒是非常重要的。小时候，你生气的时候可以大喊大叫或者哭闹，但长大后，你被期望能更好地控制情绪。
现在就学着控制情绪能让你避免做一些可能使你以后遗憾一生的事情。
26 “I Don’t Have to Eat All the Egg.”
A lady once wrote a long story. She sent it to a famous editor. After a few
weeks the story was returned to her. The lady was angry. She wrote to the
editor:
"Dear Sir: Yesterday you sent back a story of mine. How do you know that the
story is not good? You did not read it. Before I sent you the story, I pasted
together pages 18, 19 and 20. This was a test to see whether you would read
the story. When the story came back yesterday, the pages were still pasted
together. Is this the way you read all the stories that are sent to you?"The
editor wrote back: "Dear Madam: At breakfast when I open an egg I don't have
to eat all the egg to discover that it is bad.?
“我不必吃掉整个鸡蛋。”
曾经有位女士，她写了一篇很长的小说，并把它寄给了一位著名的编辑。几周后小说退回来了。女士很生气，她给编辑写了封信。
“尊敬的编辑先生：
昨天你把我的小说退回来了。你怎么知道这小说不好？你根本没有读过。在寄给你之前，我把十八、十九和二十页粘在了一起。这是要检查你是否会读我写的小说。昨天小说退回来时，这三页还粘在一起。难道这就是你阅读所有寄给你的作品的方式吗？”
编辑回信写道：“尊敬的女士：早餐时我打开一只鸡蛋，我不必等到吃完整个鸡蛋后才发现蛋是臭的。”
27Visiting Shakespeare’s Home
In 1998, when I was working for an export company, I went to England. After
finishing my business, which took several days, I went to Stratford, where
Shakespeare was born. In Stratford, I visited several sites that are
associated with Shakespeare, including the house where he was born, the church
where he was buried, and the cottage where his wife's family lived. I wanted
to see a play, so I asked at the theatre box office for whatever tickets were
available. I got a seat for The Merchant of Venice, which is my favourite
play. Afterwards, I waited at the stage door for my favourite actor, who was
in the play. I got his autograph and talked to him. It is an experience that I
will remember forever.
莎士比亚故居之旅
1998年，我在一个出口公司工作的时候，去了一趟英国。花几天时间干完公务后，我去了斯特拉特福德，莎士比亚出生的地方。在斯特拉特福德，我参观了几处与莎士比亚有关的场所，包括他出生时的房子、死后埋葬的教堂以及他妻子的家人居住的村舍。
我想去看一出戏剧，所以就向剧院售票处询问哪场戏剧有票，结果买到了《威尼斯商人》的票，这是我最喜欢的戏剧。之后，我在后台入口处等到了剧中我最喜欢的演员。我得到了他的亲笔签名并和他交谈。这次经历我永远不会忘记。
28 A Thrilling Ride
Bill and Jane were coasting on a hill. Down the hill went the sled. Bill
steered. Jane held on tightly. The coasters on the hill watched them. Past
trees they whizzed. Jane yelled, "Stop the sled! Stop the sled!?but Bill could
not stop it.
Suddenly Jane had a feeling that she was a bird in flight. Was she dreaming?
She landed in a big pile of snow. Where was Bill? He must have gone all the
way down the long slide to the end of the hill. Now, Bill came in sight
plodding up the hill. Jane laughed as she called to him. They were so glad to
be together. The coasters cheered to see them safe. They went home to tell
Mother what a thrilling ride they had had.
一次惊心动魄的经历
比尔和简正在山上滑行。他们的雪橇从山上滑下来。比尔驾驶着雪橇。简紧紧地抓着雪橇。山上滑雪橇的人们看着他们。两旁经过的树发出飕飕的声音。简大声地叫起来：“停下来！快停下来！”但是比尔停不下来。
突然，简感觉自己就像一只小鸟在空中飞翔。她是在做梦吗？她撞在一个大雪堆上停了下来。比尔在哪儿？他肯定是沿着长长的滑道一直滑到山下了。就在这时，比尔出现了，他正吃力地从山下爬上来。简笑着叫他。又能在一起，他们真是太高兴了。看到他们都很安全，其他滑雪橇的人们欢呼起来。他们回家告诉了妈妈他们的经历是多么惊心动魄啊。
29 Saving the Earth
One day, I went with the group to a nearby river. We wanted to check if it was
clean. We did many scientific tests to see if the river was healthy.
Surprisingly, it was! We still, though, took any rubbish we could find out of
the river. We wanted to make sure fish could live there happily.
Recently, I helped the group plant flowers at our school. We're hoping the
flowers will bloom this spring and make the school look beautiful. How did we
pay for all the plants? We made T-shirts and sold them to our friends! We're
still got some money left from selling the T-shirts. We hope to use it to buy
some recycling bins for the school.
拯救地球
一天，我和小组其他人一起来到附近的一条河边。我们想检查这条河是否干净。我们做了许多科学实验以测试这条河是否健康。令人惊奇的是，这条河很健康！虽然我们还是从河里捞起了一些我们可以发现的垃圾。我们想要确保鱼能在这条河里开心地生活。
最近，我和小组的其他人一起在学校里种了一些花。我们希望今年春天这些花会开，把学校装点得更美丽。我们怎么会有买这些植物的钱呢？我们自己做T恤衫，然后卖给我们的朋友！我们还剩余了一些卖T恤衫得来的钱。我们希望可以用这些钱为学校购买一些废物回收箱。
四年后的约定 The Deal in Four Years Last night, my friends and I went back to the primary school. We walked around the school and talked about the funny things that happened at that time.

I started to think about what I would become fo ur years later, maybe a teacher, or a businessman. The deal helps us to have a chance to keep in touch with each other. I am so looking forward to carrying out it. 昨晚，我的朋友们和我一起回到了初中的校园。我们走了一圈校园，说起了在那个时候的趣事。我们很快就要上大学了，因此我们即将分离，但是我们对将来的校园生活感到高兴。突然，我的脑海中出现了一个主意，我对朋友说我们可以定一个四年后的约定，那时候我们也毕业了。朋友们很兴奋，同意我的想法。因此我们约定四年后，在这里相聚。我开始想象四年后的自己会变成什么样子，或许老师，或许商人。这个约定让我们有机会和彼此保持联系。我期待着实现这个约定。

MK二号是一颗几十亿公里外的行星，它在许多宗教里都是生命起源的地方。物理学家已经证明了它温和的气候和重力的牵引都和地球相似的理论；天文学家也通过卫星，在它的大气层里发现了氧原子和二氧化碳的存在，这些都是对生命来说，都是基本的。受到这一消息的鼓舞，生物学家们接着开始了研究以解开人们的迷惑——既然有了适合的条件，生命真的存在于这个星球吗？他们是通过下蛋，还是产仔来繁殖后代的呢？ 上个月，一艘太空飞船被派到了那儿。可惜的是，这次任务失败了。不像地球，MK二号是一颗年轻得多的行星。因此，大团大团的有害酸云到处漂浮，引起猛烈的连锁反应的爆发。这些云团不仅阻挡了飞行员的视线，而且还损坏了发动机系统。幸运的是，飞行员小心注意，才及时阻止了飞船的坠毁。

高中英语写作课教学 英语写作课不知讲些什么，学生写作时不知从何写起，作文不成句，语法错误，一直是老师们的困惑，也是学生的绊脚石。到底写作课该如何上，怎么下手，下面分享几点方法： 高中英语写作课教学 一、消除学生的恐惧心理，培养写作习惯 针对我校学生基础差，学习习惯不好的状况，首先让学生知道， 写作并不难，就是把我们要说的话，用自己的话写出来，我们平时讲 课的例句就是很好的素材，只要稍加整理即可，关键是敢写。 二、注意平时积累词汇，打好写作基础 平时上课尤其是词汇教学时，注意提醒学生积累一些例句，段落甚至是名人名言。要求学生背诵课文中的佳句和词汇句型较多的段 落，这样可以帮助学生理解课文内容，背诵重点句型和短语，积累话 题写作的素材，培养学生的语感。课下注意收集各种体裁的写作篇 章结构以及开头结尾常用的优美句型。 三、练习写作的句式变化，进行专题指导 写作水平的提高非一日之功，也不能光说不练，积累素材完成后，教师要进行针对性的写作方法指导。首先，训练过程要循序渐进，要让学生体验到成功，有信心，愿意去写作，并且要安排由易到难，由课内到课外，有机械到灵活。英译汉练习让学生写出课文中的重点句
子——利用单元词汇进行造句练习——缩写课文 ——改写课文 —— 仿写课文 ——写与课文相关的短文。其次，讲解写作步骤：审题 ——构思——提纲——初稿—— 修改 ——定稿。并注意写作中记 叙文的五个 W(what---who---when---where---why or how)。最 后，提醒学生注意写作规则和标点符号的使用，并把高考评分标准展 示给学生们，让他们对照自己的文章，找出存在的问题。 四、真实客观的评价，批改欣赏得法 对于学生习作的批改，有两种途径，一是教师面批面改，及时发现学生存在的问题，提出改进的建议和今后要注意的问题。二是学生互评互批，这样既可以看到别人的长处，积累更多的方法，又可以发现学生们共同性的错误，以利于改正提高。教师应及时反馈具有共同性和倾向性的错误，并把优秀作文展示出来，激励优秀学生，鼓舞其他学生。 写作高分技巧 一、背诵 + 默写 + 仿写 step 1背诵 其实，想要提高英文写作水平，无非就三大方法：多读、多背、 多写。读是用心读，在阅读文章时及时将看到的精彩词汇、词组、句

His father was a clerk in the city of Portsmouth. There Charles first went to school. In 1821, the family moved to London, where his father ran into debt and was put into prison. At the age of ten, young Charles had to work at a factory. He suffered a lot there. It was the most unhappy time of all his life. In 1834, he started working for a newspaper. Two years later, he wrote his first book──"The Pickwick Papers" (匹克威克外传), which made him known both in England and some other countries. From then on, Charles Dickens devoted himself to literature (献身于 文学). The best known among his writings are "David Copperfield", "Oliver Twist" and 杰作), and "A Tale of Two Cities".

London B. a prison C. Portsmouth D. an American city 2. According to the passage, ________ is the true statement. [ ]
第一天：THE NEWSPAPER 报纸 Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value. Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form. the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstance. Though students have to do the homework everyday, they should spare at least one or two hours to read newspaper. In this way, they can not only increase konwledge, but also keep up with the times. In a word, reading newspaper is of great benefit to students. 现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种类类的消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境。学生虽然每天须做功课，但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报。哪些，他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代。总而言之，看报对学生很有益处。 第二天：MY DAIL Y LIFE 我的日常生活 Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country. I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock. After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock. Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed. 虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？因为我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。 我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。 放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。 第三天：A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生 Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not.So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student. However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. Firstly, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him. 你介意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。 然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。 第四天：HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何获得快乐 There is no doubt thathappiness is the most precious thing in the world.

高中英语写作课教学反思 中学英语教学大纲指出：写是书面表达和传递信息的交际能力。英语写作时一门综合性很强的实践课，是通过写作训练，促进学生更准确地掌握语音、词汇、语法等知识，增加学习兴趣，建立学习信心，并培养丰富的想象力，逻辑思维能力和语言组织能力。因此，我们在中学阶段必须要重视写作训练，使学生在中学阶段学会和掌握您关于写作的技巧和方法，能用英语写出日常应用文以及一般内容的其他文体的文章。为学生今后进一步深造或进入社会，用英语交际打下良好基础。高考中英语作文也占了25分，这么大的比重是不可忽视的，也充分说明写作在英语学习中的重要性。 然而英语写作教学一直是英语教学中的难点,它存在着传统英语写作教学模式陈旧用汉语思维方式写作、语法错误百出等诸多问题。长期以何有效地进行英语写作教学一直困扰着我。“给出题目，提出要求，并让学生在课内或课外规定的时间内完成一篇作文，之后上交给教师批改”是传统英语写作教学的一种模式。这样的训练模式，往往使大部分学生写作相当被动，缺乏积极主动性和写作的热情；同时又使教师任务繁重，埋头批改于学生作文的语法和词汇等细节性错误，可学生却不“领情”，效果却微之甚微，形成了“学生听到写作心烦，教师见到习作头痛”的现象。经过十几年的教学思考，我觉得，写作水平的提高不是一朝一夕的事情，它应该是一个长期的训练积累，循序渐进的过程。下面就将本人的一点教学反思总结如下： 一、培养兴趣，消除恐惧 学习兴趣是学生积极认识事物和积极参与学习活动的倾向，是积极学习中最现实和最活跃的成分。学习兴趣的培养能帮助学生树立自信心，形成克服困难的意志，养成学习外语的自觉性和良好的习惯。当学生对写作产生了兴趣，就会积极配合教师的写作教学，那么写作的训练就可事半功倍了。首先，我要让学生了解写作在高考中的重要性，让他们知道不管我们愿不愿意，喜不喜欢，写作都是我们必须面对和解决的一个重要问题。然后，在平时的日常教学活动中，让学生认识到写作只不过是我们把想说的话通过书面形式表达出来而已。我们平时课堂上的听说训练，其实已经帮我们打好了书面表达的基础。当我们把以上的思想灌输给学生，他们慢慢会形成这样的看法，那就是，一方面，写作是回避不了的问题，另一方面也是我能解决的问题，根本无需害怕。我想接下来我们就可以解决如何提高写作的问题了。 二、养成习惯，打好基础 我们都知道在听说读写四项语言技能中，写作技能是要求较高的一项，它是学生语言综合运用能力一种体现，所以，想要提高写作能力，必须养成良好的语言学习习惯，为写作能力的培养和提高打好基础。我认为在日常教学过程中提醒学生做到以下几点很有必要： 1、积累短语词汇。思想的完美表现离不开作为砖石的短语词汇，所以词汇的积累必不可少。而且，词汇教学中，我会运用一些例句让学生明白，这些短语词汇在我们的日常交流中是有着具体作用的，他们不是书本上那些独立的存在。 2、背诵每篇阅读课文中的主旨段落和较多短语句型的段落。这样做，可以帮助学生理解课文，记忆重要短语句型，积累话题写作的内容，培养语感。 3、收集英语写作各种题材的篇章结构，收集常用的开头和结尾的优美句型，并背诵佳句甚至佳作。 三、变换形式，专题指导 前期打基础的工作做好之后，就是最重要的实践操作的问题了。写作水平的提高不能光说不练，也不可能一蹴而就，很快成功。老师要做的事就是在学生进行写作训练时提供恰到好处的方法指导。这种指导也可以根据情况有所不同。 首先，训练过程中遵循循序渐进的原则，让学生体验到成功，从而激励自己愿意写作。从纵向来看，写作训练的难度应该逐步提高，随着年级的提升而提升。从横向来看，写作训练应该由“课文内”到“课文外”，先易后难，先机械后灵活。中译英练习让学生写出课文中的词汇或句子---课本新词汇的造句练习---缩写课
