没有过不去的坎儿
Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we realize our potential tolerating ability.
人的承受能力，其实远远超出我们的想象。但是不到关键时刻，我们很少能够意识自己的潜力。
There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people in the village at that time could not bear the suffering of being a fugitive and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those people and soothed them by saying, “Don’t do that silly thing. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. The Japanese armies are bound to be foiled one day!”
有一位农村妇女，18岁结婚，26岁时日本人侵略中国，在农村进行大扫荡，她不得不经常带着两个女儿一个儿子东躲西藏。村里很多人受不了这种暗无天日的折磨，想到了自尽，她得知后就会去劝：“别这样啊，没有过不去的坎，日本鬼子不会总这么猖狂的。”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China. Nonetheless, her son died of disease without sufficient medicine and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also persist. Though our son has passed away, we can have another. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome.”
她终于熬到了把鬼子赶出中国的那一天，可是她的儿子却在那炮火连天的岁月里，由于缺医少药，又极度缺乏营养，因病夭折了。丈夫不吃不喝在床上躺了两天两夜，她流着泪对丈夫说：“咱们的命苦啊，不过再苦咱也得过啊，儿子没了，咱再生一个，人生没有过不去的坎。”
After giving birth to the second son, her husband died of edema, which almost blew her away. But eventually, she recovered and cuddled the three young children, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
刚刚生了儿子，丈夫因患水肿病离开了人世。在这个打击下，她很长时间都没回过神来，但最后还是挺过来了，她把三个未成年的孩子揽到自己怀里，说：“娘还在呢，有娘在，你们就别怕。”
It took her painstaking efforts to raise her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son
finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is absolutely right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was aging gradually and could not do the farm work any more. So she stayed at home and did some stitching work.
她含辛茹苦地把孩子一个个拉扯大了，生活也慢慢好转起来。两个女儿嫁了人，儿子也结了婚。她逢人便乐呵呵地说：“我说吧，没有过不去的坎，现在生活多好啊。”她年纪大了，不能下地干活，就在家纳鞋底，做衣服，缝缝补补。
Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a rough life. She got her leg broken accidentally when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
可是，上苍似乎并不眷顾这位一生坎坷的妇女，她在照看孙子时不小心摔断了腿，由于年纪太大做手术危险，就一直没有做手术，她每天只能躺在床上。儿女们都哭了，她却说：“哭什么，我还活着呢。”
Even though she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some stitching work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, broidery, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke highly of her skills and came to learn from her.
即便下不了床，她也没有怨天尤人，而是坐在床上做针线活。她会织围巾，会绣花，会编手工艺品，左邻右舍的人都夸她手艺好，还来跟她学艺。
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
她活到86岁，临终前，她对自己儿女们说：“都要好好过啊，没有过不去的坎。”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting stricken heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the unfairness of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be defeated at last!
人总是在遭遇一次重创之后，才会幡然醒悟，重新认识自己的坚强和坚忍。所以，无论你正在遭遇什么磨难，都不要一味抱怨上苍不公平，甚至从此一蹶不振。人生没有过不去的坎，只有过不去的人。

I will spare no efforts in doing things。
凡事我都将全力以赴。
The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything。

至少要平静
Keep calm at least
When you had fallen to the bottom of your life, every people around you would tell you: Be hard-bitten and be happy!
在你跌入人生谷底的时候，你身旁所有的人都告诉你：要坚强，而且要快乐。
To be hard-bitten would be necessary, but be happy? Even in that serious occasion? That would be hard for you, after all, who could keep happy while he were head-broken and bleeding.
坚强是绝对需要的，但是快乐?在这种情形下，恐怕是太为难你了。毕竟，谁能在跌得头破血流的时候还觉得高兴？
But you should at least keep calm, calmly facing and calmly treating.
但是至少可以做到平静。平静地看待这件事，平静地把其他该处理的事处理好。
If you have obtained the calmness, without happy and without unhappy, you then have possessed the power for rebirth.
平静，没有快乐，也没有不快乐。能做到这一点，你就已经有了复元的能量。
有种旅行叫作人生
Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
人生好似一个包裹，这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败，希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。那些经历给我们上了全新的课，让我们变得更好。随着每一天的过去，我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
爱
爱在生活之外扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你想要得到些什么。没有爱，一个人将走向不归路，变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上，我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱，他们教会我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这想当然了，只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后，一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重，并且更好的理解人生。
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
快乐与悲伤
物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你给予他人一个微笑的时候，那种满足却是无与伦比的。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望，但是这样的事情都是暂时的，总会过去的。
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
失败与成功
失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天，它教会我们如何生存，它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给予我们金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里，保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。唯一能让我们感激上帝给予的成功便是始终卑微、谦虚、礼貌并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
希望与绝望
希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望，因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事一成不变的，我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔，因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样，因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以，唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作，这样才能让我们去享受更美好
的明天。
幸福就是投入
Under the scorching sun, an old man sat by the bank staring at the buoy on the river. From dawn to dusk he still got nothing in his hands. However, the old man was happy at ease. I felt so puzzled about it.
The old man said with a smile，”I’m the fish and the fish is me, I’m fishing and I’m also being fished; like playing chess, the fish and I have such an equal stamina that I have a wonderful time.” At this point, an urchin threw a stone into the water.
A circle of ripples wafted over. The old man said, “The wind rises.”
Life is a chess game while happiness is devotion.
烈日下，一老翁坐在岸边，两眼一动不动的盯着河面的浮标，从日出到日落，依然两手空空，老翁却怡然自得，乐在其中。我很是纳闷。老翁笑着说：“我即鱼，鱼即我，我在钓鱼，鱼也在钓我，就像下棋，我和鱼的耐力旗鼓相当，这才过瘾.”一顽童向水中扔一块石头，一阵波纹飘荡过来，老翁曰：“起风了。”人生就是一盘棋，而幸福就是投入。
把心门敞开
There are two brothers, aged four or five years old, as the bedroom windows are closed all day, and they think the house is too dark to see outside the bright sun, feel envy. Brothers on the discussion, said: "We can put together a little outside in. So the sun." Thus, the two brothers with a broom and dustpan to sweep up the sun terrace. When they moved to the dustpan when the room, which there will be no sunshine. So again and again so many times that the sun or the house did not. Mom is busy kitchen surprised to see them move, asked: "What are you doing?" They replied: "the room too dark, and we point to the sun So come." Her mother smiled: "As long as the windows open, the sun come naturally, why should I scan it? "
有兄弟二人，年龄不过四、五岁，由于卧室的窗户整天都是密闭着，他们认为屋内太阴暗，看见外面灿烂的阳光，觉得十分羡慕。兄弟俩就商量说：“我们可以一起把外面的阳光扫一点进来。”于是，兄弟两人拿着扫帚和畚箕，到阳台上去扫阳光。等到他们把畚箕搬到房间里的时候，里面的阳光就没有了。这样一而再再而三地扫了许多次，屋内还是一点阳光都没有。正在厨房忙碌的妈妈看见他们奇怪的举动，问道："你们在做什么?"他们回答说："房间太暗了，我们要扫点阳光进来。"妈妈笑道："只要把窗户打开，阳光自然会进来，何必去扫呢?"
下一班幸福，几点开？
Life is full of confusing and disordering Particular time, a particular location, Do the arranged thing of ten million time in the brain, Step by step , the life is hard to avoid delicacy and stiffness No enthusiasm forever, No unexpected happening of surprising and pleasing So, only silently ask myself in mind Next happiness, when will come?
人生的纷纷扰扰，杂杂乱乱，在一个特定的时间，特定的地点，做脑海中安排了千万遍的事，一步一骤，人生难免精致，却也死板，永远没有激情，没有意料之外的惊喜。于是，也只有在心里默默地问：下一班幸福，几点开？
When our family relationship, friendship, love and personal relationship became four cups different thick and Subtle tea, At push a cup to change, always have absentminded hesitation: Which on earth cup that is supposed to be first degusted in the best taste time ,which final cup ?

Dark light, just light each other. The responsibility that you and my shoulders take together, the such as one dust covers up. Afraid only afraid the light is suddenly put out in the endless dark night and Countless loneliness
暗黄的灯光，仅仅也只能照射过彼此。你、我肩上共同担当的责任，犹如一片灰尘遮掩。怕只怕灯丝的突然熄灭在这无尽的黑夜.数不尽的孤单Always insisting. Use iron scoop is too cold; Use porcelain scoop is too weak;
A wood scoop, engraved veins safely, engraved sky’s wasteland and glebe’s old. Just as happiness born in the years, not insolent, the every act and move blooms quietly
一直坚持着。用铁勺太冰冷；用瓷勺又太脆弱；一只只木勺，刻出了纹理安然，刻出了天荒地老。一如岁月中隐忍着的幸福，不张狂，举手投足间悄然绽放
Hope is always more expect, engrave a bone is a fat lot looked Clear can touch, just don t know where end is. Can not find to come to the road of hour, just because of eying foot too very carefully.
希望总是多过盼望，刻骨而又络络可见，清晰可触，只是不知道终结在哪儿。找不到来时的路，只是因为太小心翼翼的注视脚下。
Then the wandering soul wild crane stands still the memory river Listen to
whistle play tightly ring slowly, Water rises a ship to go medium long things of the past. Wait for a ship’s person Wait for one and other, But hesitate always should ascend which ship Missed Had to consign the hope to next time, Finally what to wait for until has no boats and ships to come and go, Sunset west .
再孤魂野鹤的伫立记忆河头，听着哨子的紧奏慢响，水涨船行中的悠悠往事。等船的人儿，等了一班又一班，却始终犹豫着该登哪一只。错过的，只好把希望寄托到了下一回，终究等到的是没有船只的过往，日落西头。
Six words really talk to solve each round to return to bitterness. Heart of lotus opens, body side of genial breezes walks. Constantly, only one pond water. Ripple but have no language, guarded happiness of this pond. This is from cradle to the grave one a life time
六字真言解每一个轮回苦。心头荷花开，身畔暖风走。不变的，只有那一池水。荡漾而无语，守住了这一池的幸福。这就是一生一世Happiness is so much simple, on your center of palm, a match a hand can grasp; Happiness is also very difficult, before your heel, A thousand mountains and rivers but blunder away because of Doing not turn a head
幸福好简单，就在你手心上，一合手就能握住；幸福又好难，就在你脚跟前，千山万水却因没有转头而错失
Never believe, next will be better, Blunder away, never repair return of regret. Even met the god of shining in a dream, Never ask: "Next happiness, when will come?"
千万不要相信，下一个会更好，错失了，就是补不回的遗憾。即使在梦中，遇见了那熠熠的神明，也永远不要问：“下一班幸福，几点开？"
浅谈英语课外阅读的指导 五常市高级中学王晓丽高中英语大纲明确指出：“要提高学生阅读能力，单纯通过教科书中的课文教学是不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的读物。” 在教学实践中我体会到，学生优秀的习作几乎都是得益于课外阅读和对真实生活的体验。英语的学习单靠简单的记忆已不能取得高分了，更需要阅读能力的提高。要提高学生阅读能力，单纯通过教科书中的课文教学是不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的读物。阅读教学在我国外语教学中历来受到重视。 首先，合理选择材料：思想性强，内容健康；兴趣是成功的原动力，作为教材延伸形式出现的课外阅读，材料要多样化，要讲求趣味性。这就对我们外语教师提出了更高、更全面的要求。让学生独立阅读，但又不是“放羊式”的阅读，而是在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。 其次，精读和泛读结合：泛读广泛、大量、快速，故重点放在针对问题快速地捕捉信息上。快阅读，知大意；根据上下文猜测词义；根据构词法猜测词义；注意深层意思的理解；把理解题目作为提纲来读。 英语是实践性很强的课程，英语学习不能局限在小课堂里，构建课内外结合、校内外沟通的英语教育体系，创造一个广阔的英语学习空间。 1.《高中英语阅读训练》是一本很好的读物。题材较为广泛，如人物传记、寓言故事等。每单元编配三篇阅读训练材料，包括一篇快速阅读材料和两篇泛读材料，较长的分为上、下两篇。A篇为快速阅读，题材与课文基本相同，难度略低于课文，其目的是为了复习和巩固课堂上所学的语言知识，培养学生对阅读的兴趣，训练他们快速阅读的技能。因此，我在每上完一模块教材后就利用几分钟时间，安排学生当场独立完成（从高一到高二，从慢到快），并要求学生在阅读文章上面记录阅读的时间及正确理解率，以便学生以后检查自己的阅读理解率的提高情况。B、C两篇材料要求学生在课外完成，教师做不定期的检查。 2在课外阅读过程中，学生可以饶有兴趣地将课内所学的知识自然而然地迁移到课外阅读中。新颖丰富的课外阅读材料可以激发学生英语学习的兴趣和求

高中优秀英语美文摘抄 试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看，这样你就会汲取实现目标的动力，而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。 一旦变换看问题的角度，你的生活会豁然开朗，幸福快乐会接踵而来。 别交出掌握命运的主动权，也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。 你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。 建立自信，敢于与困难短兵相接，而非绕道而行。 记住，力量不是驾驭局势的法宝，无坚不摧的能力才是最重要的。 请坚信，美好的降临并非不可能，失误也许是成功的前奏。 将惶恐化作信任，学会超越担忧和疑虑。 让“诚惶诚恐的时光变得“富有成效。 不要挥霍浪费精力，将它投到有意义的事情中去。 当你下意识品尝生命的欢愉时，美好就会出现。 当你积极地看待生活，并以此作为你的日常准则时，你就会找到快乐的真谛。 该研究的主要作者、美国印第安纳州诺特丹大学的心理学家杰西卡?佩恩认为，在学完新东西后打个盹就像把要记住的东西“告诉睡眠中的大脑。 她和同事一起对207名学生进行了研究，这些学生习惯每晚至少睡六个小时。
参与者被随机分配到几个学习小组，学习内容是陈述性知识，包括语义相连或不相连的词组。 学习时间在早上9点或晚上9点。 学完后他们在30分钟、12小时或24小时后回来做测试。 陈述性记忆指的是有意识地记忆事实和事件的能力，可以分为情节记忆(对事件的记忆)和语义记忆(对事实类知识的记忆)。 人们每天都会例行运用这两种记忆——回想今天我们把车停在了哪里或了解一个同事喜欢别人怎么称呼他。 在12小时后再次进行测试时，总体来看睡了一夜的人相比还没睡觉的人记忆效果更好。 在24小时后再度测试时，所有的实验对象都睡了一整夜，也在清醒中度过了一个白天。 这次，那些在学习后不久就入睡的人比那些学习后过了一整个白天才睡觉的人记忆效果更好。 佩恩说：“我们的研究证实，在学习新东西后马上睡觉对记忆有帮助。 这项研究的创新之处在于，我们试图通过对语义相连和不相连的词组的记忆研究来揭示睡眠对于两种陈述性记忆的影响。 “我们发现在学习之后很快就睡觉对两种记忆都有帮助，这意味着在上床睡觉前温习你要记忆的东西将很有好处。 在某种意义上，你可能在‘告诉’睡眠中的大脑需要巩固强化的记忆。
高中生英语阅读的现状、问题及对策(一) 【内容摘要】阅读在听、说、读、写四项技能中占有很重要的地位。通过问卷调查发现影响学生阅读水平的几个因素。并就此提出相应的对策。 【关键词】中学生英语阅读选材策略合作自主性 作为语言学习的主要输入方式，阅读在听、说、读、写四项技能中占有很重要的地位。它是人们获取信息，进行学习或娱乐的最基本途径。在国内外各种语言测试中，阅读所占的比例很大。阅读能力的高低是检验学习者语言水平的主要标准之一。如CET、TOEFL、PETS等。然而尽管当前国内外学者对阅读教学的研究成果日益增多，但无论是教师的努力还是学生的大量阅读练习都收效甚微。笔者在多年的实际教学中，发现阅读仍然是学生学习英语的一个薄弱环节。鉴于此现象，本人所在的高二年级英语教研组自2003年九月参加了教育部基础教育课程教材发展中心的基础教育英语教学评价实验项目，使用了《高中英语学习评价手册》(以下简称评价手册)编写组编写的阅读手册。希望多维、多元、多样的评价方式促进学生阅读能力的提高。至今已完成高一(上、下)，高二(上)共三册。经过一年半的实验，本人意在进行一个阶段性总结。并通过调查试图发现在阅读训练中存在的问题，以及使用此书的总体反馈，以此希望来探讨影响高中生有效地提高阅读水平的各种因素。同时，借助调查结果来更好地指导本人下一阶段的实验工作。 一、调查方法 1．调查对象： 本人执教的高二(6)班(理科)61人．(注：由于学校办学机制，原来班上成绩拔尖的学生已被滚动到实验班。又从别的班进了一些学生。因此本班的英语成绩突出的人较少，一般的人居多。) 2．调查手段： 采用问卷调查法。问卷由14个问题组成。其中第4、5、6、8小题可多选。这些问题大体可分为四个方面：阅读自主性、选材及题型设计、阅读策略、以及该调查所反映的问题。二．调查结果及分析 1．阅读自主性 英语教学自从在中学开展以来，由于语言学习环境的制约，主要教学形式为课堂教学。英语学习只是单一的知识与文化追求。这潜在地对学生的外语学习过程的促进作用作了极大的制约。整体而言，中国学生学习外语的整体性动机也不十分明确。或者说，学生对英语学习多元化的语用目的还没有一个充分的认识。英语学习只是为了应付考试。事实上，学习动机对于学习活动的开展十分重要。JeremyHarmer这样解释动机：“Motivationissomekindofinternaldrivethatencouragessomebodytopursueacourseofaction．”(Jere myHarmer，l983)学习动机可分为外在动机和内在动机。影响内在动机的因素包括身体条件、教师的教学方法及人格魅力和成功等。而影响外在动机的其中最重要的一条就是学生对目的语即英语的态度。而从本人进行的问卷调查可以明显看出：当被问及“你对阅读是否有兴趣”时，78.7％的学生的回答是“一般”，甚至有16.4％的学生对此不怎么感兴趣。在回答“除了老师布置的阅读任务外，还会找其他的材料进行阅读吗?”这个问题时，47.5％的学生选择了“不会”。这说明仍有近半的学生阅读主动性、自主性不够。因此，培养学生学习英语的综合性动机对于提高他们的阅读自主性至关重要。而如何在日常教学中体现这种认识也是笔者一直关心的一点。令笔者稍感欣慰的是，虽然学生没有较强的阅读兴趣，但每周仍有65.6％的人进行二至三次的自行阅读。尽管这只是学生的工具性动机(学好英语是进入理想大学的必备条件)的一种体现。 2．阅读的选材及题型设计 在英语教学中，需要考虑的其中最重要的一点就是材料的选择。提供给学生的阅读材料应该
英语美文欣赏87 Every day is a lucky day I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: "Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day," I said. "I choose to be cheerful." "Let me give you an example," I continued, addressing all sixty students in the class. "In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college." "As soon as I got there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what has happened. 'This is my lucky day,' I replied, smiling." " 'Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?' She was puzzled. 'What do you mean?'" " 'I live 17 miles from here.' I replied. 'My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'" "The secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class." So ended my story. I scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn't the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student's observation that I was cheerful.

The American Revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern England became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern Europe at the end of the eighteenth century.

浅谈高中英语课外阅读中存在的问题和对策 发表时间：2013-07-15T08:28:19.123Z 来源：《教育与发展》2013年第5期供稿作者：杜延清 [导读] 高中学生获取知识的主要途径离不开阅读，阅读无论是对自己的心灵，还是提高自身素质都有重大作用。 陕西省神木县第七中学杜延清 摘要：高中学生获取知识的主要途径离不开阅读，阅读无论是对自己的心灵，还是提高自身素质都有重大作用。英语课外阅读也一样，它可以拓展学生的视野，对学生自身的成长也不可小视。本文通过调查高中生英语课外阅读存在的主要问题，分析其成因并提出改进措施。关键词：高中学生英语课外阅读拓展视野 一、阅读的含义 阅读是一种从印的和写的语言符号中取得意义的心理过程。阅读也是一种基本智力技能，这种技能是取得学业成功的先决条件，是由一系列的行为和过程构成的总合。阅读是语言和思维相互作用的一种复杂的智力活动，由此获得重要信息，从而提高认识世界、改造世界的能力。由此可以看出，阅读是一种复杂的语言认知活动，也是一种复杂的心智和情感活动。许多观点都印证了多数英语学习者的尝试和经验：没有阅读，英语学习寸步难行；有了阅读，英语学习节节提高；阅读越少，进步越慢；阅读越多，进步越快。对于多数中国英语学习者来说，阅读是决定英语学习成败的关键。 二、课外阅读存在的主要问题 1.阅读取向不合理。 调查中发现相当一部分学生在课外阅读的认识上存在一定的误区，认为课外阅读对提高成绩没有明显的帮助，甚至认为会耽误文化课的学习，很多学生因此认为没有必要购买阅读课外读物，即使购买，也只是一些与考试有关的辅导资料、参考书或试题集锦等。 2.阅读目标不明确。 调查统计：90%的高中生认为应该有课外阅读，66.72%的学生喜欢课外阅读，70%的同学认为课外阅读对学习有帮助，而能真正明确阅读目的的学生只有10%左右。一般来说，他们看课外书随意性大，阅读从很大程度上讲是对时尚的一种盲从。有的“想看啥，就看啥，和学习无关。”有的说“腻了课本，找课外书调剂。” 3.阅读策略不科学。 在阅读方法上，不少学生毫无策略可言。在阅读中不能合理有效地运用精读、泛读、快读、慢读等方法，不动笔，不作笔记，不进行有意识的搜集、整理、消化，囫囵吞枣，不求甚解。 三、形成的原因 调查认为，目前相当一部分高中生不喜欢、甚至排斥课外阅读，大致与以下因素有关： 1.视听文化的冲击。 和广播、电视、网络等可以直接将信息作用于视听感官相比，书籍阅读就显得较为枯燥，人们不再也不愿花时间从书籍中获取信息，一定程度上造成了大众阅读的缺失。 2.老师和家长的干涉。 许多家长都渴望子女将来能上大学，希望孩子“念学校里的书”。每当孩子在课余时间读课外书时，他们就会阻止。据统计：不干涉孩子阅读课外书的家长仅占8%，反对孩子阅读任何课外书的家长占33%。更有甚者不分青红皂白把所有的课外书都称为“闲书”。这使得学生的读书热情不但未受到保护，反而遭到压抑甚至扼杀。 3.阅读条件的制约。 调查显示，学生课外阅读的第一黄金时间是寒暑假，首选者占48.9%；第一地点是家里，占78.2%；仅有14.9%的学生把学校图书馆作为阅读课外书籍的主要来源。理应是学生阅读的神圣殿堂的学校图书馆、阅览室，在广大学生心目中却几乎没有位置。 4.应试教育的误导。 开展课外阅读活动是一项重在提高学生素质的教学措施。受应试教育的影响，目前许多学校评价教师教学优劣还常以升学率为唯一的依据，大多数教师追求的是“短期效益”，只重视课堂教学，忽视阅读。 四、改进措施 1.明确课外阅读的重要意义。 大力宣传、普及对优秀书籍的阅读，激发学生的阅读兴趣。学生长期只重课内学习而忽略课外阅读，为此，教师上课时应设法吸引学生，或旁征博引，或谈古论今，潜移默化地感染学生，让学生了解课外阅读的重要性，逐渐培养阅读兴趣。 2.推荐有益读物，提高阅读品位。 在课外阅读初期，学生大都有随意性和消遣性的阅读习惯，且贪多而不求甚解。教师不仅要引导他们多读书，而且要读好书。 3.提示阅读方法，做好读书笔记。 除了常用的泛读、略读、跳读、精读、细读、熟读成诵等方法外，还可以介绍其他的方法。要教育边读边思考、重感悟、重积淀、批判地吸收。做读书笔记的方法如圈点批注法、分门摘录法、提纲挈领法、写心得体会法等。 4.开展丰富多彩的活动，巩固阅读成果。 为巩固和扩大阅读成果，教师应有计划组织一些活动来加以促进，如举行阅读、朗读、演讲比赛，这样能增强学生的参与意识，有效促进课外阅读活动。 5.家庭和社会各界应为学生营造良好的阅读环境。 家长们应该意识到：“有爱看书的父母，才有爱看书的孩子。”因此，作为孩子第一位老师的家长应该作出表率，自己多读书，也支持孩子读书。工作之余可以和孩子一起去书店、图书馆或在家中交流阅读经验和体会，从而营造出良好的家庭阅读氛围。其次，新闻出版部门应规范、净化课外读物市场，为学生提供更多积极，健康的书籍。再次，公共文化机构如城市图书馆、社区或村镇图书室应积极向青少年学生开放，降低其阅读门槛，这也有助于其良好阅读习惯的培养。 可见，阅读是一个人做任何事情的基础，学生必须凭借书籍不断充实自己，长大后才能稳定地立足于社会。因此，作为教师，应努力

As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious out－side，but I wanted to be liked inside. Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn?t easy，and there were many times I didn?t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself. I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren?t there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me. I pointed out，“Ｓhe is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.”My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn?t be replaced. I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn?t like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place. Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be. 当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候，觉得自己总是让人失望。从外表上看，我似乎很叛逆，但是在内心深处，我是如此地渴望被人疼爱。 有一次我离开了家和我的朋友佩内洛普搭便车去了加利福尼亚。这次旅行并不轻松，而且有很多次我感觉不安。有一次的突发状况让我一直庆幸自己还活着。回到家，我发觉自己变了，看上去不那么自信了。 我很高兴能回到家，但不久我注意到和我们一起的佩内洛普穿着我的衣服，而且我父母看上去更喜欢她，我想知道如果我不在家的话他们是否会想念我。后来，我把我的想法告诉了母亲，她说尽管佩内洛普是个可爱的女孩，但她始终不能取代我，我说：“她比我有耐心而且无论何时看上去她都比我要整洁大方。”母亲说这些都是非常好的优点，但我却是惟一个能扮演好自己角色的人。母亲让我感到尽管我有缺点———似乎还很多———但是，我被家中每一个人爱着，谁也无法取代。 我成了一个探寻者，想要知道自己到底是谁，又是什么让我变得独一无二。我的人生观开始改变。我需要一个坚固的基础来发展，我忍受住压力，不再做自己不喜欢做的事。而且我为真实的我感到高兴。渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代。 每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置。无论别人说什么，你自己怎么想，你都是特别的。所以，不要担心自己会被取代，因为你永远是惟一的。 太多的时候，我们总认为光明就在脚下，就在不远的前方，于是忘了去仰望头顶的那片天…… If you put a buzzard1) in a pen2) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt3) to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble4) creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle5) about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation6) from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash. A bumblebee7) if dropped into an open tumbler8) will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists9) in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations10), not realizing that the answer is right there above them.

英语美文欣赏50 Run Through the Rain 雨中奔跑 She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout. 她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛结束购物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是 美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌涨上地面。 We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens w ashing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. 我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很烦 躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地 听着、看着老天冲刷洗涤这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩 水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我一天的焦虑。 Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain." she said. 小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。 "What?" Mom asked. “什么？”母亲问。 "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. “我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。 "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied. “不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走。”母亲回答说。 This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." 过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。” "We'll get soaked if we do." Mom said. “这样的话我们会湿透的。”母亲说。 "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."
