话题练习-人物故事
B
Laurie and Jake Rohrer live near the small town of Ha'iku on the Hawaiian island of Maui. They have a recording studio in their home. They are helping to support the music of artists who they say are extremely talented yet largely unknown.
Jake built a recording studio in their garage. The couple produced a CD with a singer named Ata.
The Rohrers wanted to continue producing music, so they established their own record label. They chose the name that one of their artists had given to their home—Ululoa.
The Rohrers decided to invite only native singers they liked to record with them. They say they give their artists freedom of expression and cultural respect. They also give them half the profits once sales have paid back the cost of producing a CD.
There are no contracts(合同). Jake Rohrer says everything is settled with a handshake based on the Hawaiian tradition of pono.
In Hawaiian culture, stories are passed down from generation to generation through songs. Many artists say the Rohrer are helping to save this oral tradition. But Laurie Rohrer says they are just trying to produce good music.
Laurie Rohrer said, “It cannot be said that we are doing what we do to preserve Hawaiian culture. But if recording H awaiian people and their music has an end result, we would be very happy.”
Laurie and Jake Rohrer are already watching the next generation of Hawaiian singers. When the best of them are ready, they will be invited to record on the Ululoa label.

一、整体分析 本次考试，我所任教的两个班级的平均分分别为87.7/ 87.4，虽然与上学期的期末考试相比整体低了十分，但却相对接近历年高考的英语平均分，所以试卷的难度与高考题比较接近，整体质量也比较高。 二、具体分析 1. 听力部分 听力部分的第3、7、18、20正答率均在60%以下 3. Where does the conversation probably take place? 7. What does the man mean at last? 18. What had the speaker thought of his first job interview? 20. What contributed to the speaker’s success? 从以上的设题方式来看，3/7/18考察的都是推断总结能力，说明学生抓有用信息的能力较弱，相对而言，他们更擅长细节题，所有在平时的练习中应该多练这类题型，训练学生巧抓key words以及概括main idea的能力。 2. 阅读理解 A篇属于广告类，主要考察学生提取信息的能力，是四篇阅读中最简单的类型，但23题考察the purpose of the text, 学生大部分误选了A（to introduce）与正确选项D （to advertise）比较接近，学生没能看出其推销宣传的本质，还是做的题比较少，经验不足。其实从22题的设问中的free就能看出提到了钱，所以一定有其商业性质在里面，而不是单纯的介绍。 B篇叙事型，是学生比较擅长的类型，但25题（It can be inferred that…）正答率为31%，很低，说明学生还是不擅长利用有用信息进行推断总结，错的学生大部分选择了A （is bound to suffer from paralysis）选错的原因一方面是由于不知道be bound to do 是注定，一定会的意思，；另一方面是在中里看到了paralysis这个词就直接选了A项，说明学生呢缺少良好的做题习惯，总是断章取义，根据某一个词就确定答案，而不是将整个句子，甚至是上下文弄清楚之后再选。而且也暴露出一个问题就是学生做题缺乏技巧，此题是本篇的第二题而paralysis出现在的最后一段，不可能是正确答案的位置。由此来看，学生的仍然是缺乏练习，同时也欠缺自己的总结与思考。27题为猜词题，按理说比较好猜，只要理解了的大概意思，一翻译直接就出来了，但是选A（saved）的同学却大有人在，“她应该因为她的勇气被救”，难道生了病没有勇气面对就应该等死吗？ C、D篇均为科普类说明文，是学生不太擅长的类型。与D篇相比，C篇相对简单，29
高中英语阅读理解专项练习（1）附参考答案 阅读理解-----C At a recent class, yoga instructor Hagen taught several facial exercises designed to build up facial muscles．Some women practise moves including "The Lion" , showing the tongue hanging out and eyes rolled up．Hagen encourages class members to hold the position for 60 seconds, joking．"You can do this any time．It really helps you get a seat on the train．" Hagen recently published a book—The Yoga Face: Remove Wrinkles （皱纹）with the Ultimate Natural Facelift．She developed a workshop using facial yoga because women wanted to look their best． Facial muscles become weak and flabby （松驰的）and need regular exercise to reduce wrinkles．Besides "The Lion", other exercises include "Satchmo" ．in which the cheeks are blown out Louis Armstrong-style, and "Marilyn", in which attractive kisses are blown to strengthen mouth muscles for full and firm lips． Hagen recommends facial yoga for those wanting to find outer and inner beauty, saying, "The emotional aspect is just as important as the physiological （生理学的）." But she doesn't rule out plastic surgery or Botox．"I don' t rule it out for myself．One day I may feel like I need that．But regardless of that, maintaining elasticity （弹性的）is extremely important, especially if you have had Botox and plastic surgery," she said． While making faces in front of strangers might frighten some, those who attended the class thought it the perfect way to fight against busy New York lifestyles．" Working in New York is very stressful．" Kathy Healey said, "It's a perfect way to end the week．" 49．By saying, "It really helps you get a seat on the train"．Hagen means that some passengers

A “You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club. I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.” I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services
高中英语期中考试总结 导读：期中考试已经结束，静下心来好好总结这两个多月的教学，有成功之处，也有不足的地方。特将此总结如下： 首先针对本次期中考试，我反思一下自己的不足和改进措施：本学期我担任高二（7）班和高二（8）班的英语，为了更好的完成后半个学期的教学工作，特对本次考试做一下总结。 7、8班在文科班中分别列为第一、第二名，也绝大高于其他理科班；因为7班我是后来接手的，孩子们基础相对比其他班要好，也都很听话，这次成绩考的也还相对这个学校来说不错；8班相对上次月考来说是有进步的，有一个及格的整体也有了提高还算是欣慰的。但对于平均分40多分给我的打击也是挺大的，所以针对这个分数结合平时的学习状况我也进行了反思，主要有以下问题： 1 、其中存在的最大问题是学生们基础太差，基本上可以说是零基础。他们写的作文经常主宾不分，词性不分，话不成句句不成章，比如： I is Lihua。或是I like she。我真的高估了学生的水平，小学生都会写的作文他们都不会，看来真得"从头"开始了。 2、学生做题时过于马虎，没有很好地培养学生的做题技巧。比语法填空题：好不容易会填一个空，忘了首字母要大写了，白白失分，对他们也算是个教训吧。 3、课后反馈工作做的不到位。学习是一个过程，学生也许当时学懂了，但过一会就会忘记，我没有及时让他们背诵记忆和复习，而
是培养他们自觉去背去复习，过高评价了学生的自学能力。而且对于四中的学生来说，几乎大多数人是完全没有自学能力的，所以就更得靠我的督促和引导了，以后多注意这方面的'问题。 4、忽视了学生的知识运用能力。尤其是最近讲课的时候发现一 个问题，讲词语造句的时候，当时一起领着大家说能明白，让学生自己站起来说就不会了，他们只是把知识死记住了，并没有明白如何去使用词语造句子，所以我更应该注意教会学生们去灵活地运用知识，而不是死记硬背。 5、做不出题，缺少练习。平时我们注重的是课文的谅解以至于 学生们一看到题就束手无策做不出来，也不想做，这就是平时练的少，太生疏了，应该多学多练，练的多了自然而然的也就会了。 针对学生们这种零基础以及课堂情况，我决定采取以下措施改进： 1、让学生们写下反思以及对自己的意见或建议，及时发现自己 的不足及时改正，师生共同进步。找一些个别学生谈谈心，及时给予鼓励与信心，不是学习英语的信心。 2、认真设置课堂教学环节，充分发挥学生的潜能。注重学生的 只是运用能力，让学生说，做，真正学到知识。 3、每天督促、检查、反馈。确保学生能真正掌握，扎牢知识。 4、多和其他岗友交流，及时交换意见，相互改进共同进步。 其次，我谈一谈在教学中的随感。 一、词汇教学中，教师要特别注意教学方法，有的学生不认识音
文学、艺术、音乐） 李仕才 导读：一位美国早期的作家曾经说过： 吗？美国人究竟有哪些音乐爱好呢？ 美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。”你认可这种观点 American Music Styles James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans--even those without a musical bone in their bodies--have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A." Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life ′s hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee--Music City U.S.A. Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. ①Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, ②such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. ③The 1950s saw the development of an explosive new music style: rock ′n ′roll. This powerful music style addresses issues like love, sex, drugs, politics and death. Often it rebels against the accepted values of society. Rock concerts, featuring loud music and sometimes weird stage acts, have become a major part of American youth culture. Music videos on television have spread the message of rock to the far corners of the globe. And the beat goes on. Pop music represents popular styles that have wide appeal. "Golden oldies" from the past bring back pleasant memories for many. Rap music, which burst onto the
Unit 1 Living well Reading MARTY’S STORY 马蒂的故事 你好，我叫马蒂·菲尔丁。我想你可能会说我是“百万人中才有一个”的那种人。换句话说，世界上像我这样的人并不多见。你瞧，我的肌肉有毛病，使我的身体非常虚弱，所以我不能向别人那样快跑或快步爬楼梯。另外，有时候我还会笨手笨脚、不小心摔掉东西，或磕碰到家具上。不幸的是，医生们不知道如何治好我的病，但是我很开朗乐观，学会了适应身体的残疾。我的座右铭是：活一天算一天。 十岁以前，我跟其他人是一样的。我常常爬树、游泳、踢足球。说实在的，我过去常常梦想我会成为职业球员，代表我的国家参加世界杯足球赛。后来，我的身体开始变得越来越虚弱，以至于只能坐在体育场的长凳上欣赏足球了。最后我到医院去做了检查，住了将近三个月的医院。我想我至少做过十亿次检查了，包括有一次检查，他们从我的腿部切下一小块儿肌肉，放在显微镜下观察。即使做过了所有这些检查，也没有人能够确诊这个病。因此，很难知道将来会是个什么样子。 问题是我看上去跟平常人一样，因此，当我跑了很短的一段路之后，就喘不过气来，或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来休息，我的小学同学就会笑我。有时候我的身体太虚弱，上不了学，因此落下了许多功课。每次缺课之后，我就觉得自己很笨，因为我比别人落后了。 我在中学时期的生活（比在小学时）要轻松多了，因为我的同学已经接受了我的状况。还有少数同学看不到我的内心世界，但是我并不生气，只是不去理会他们罢了。总而言之，我生活得挺好。我很高兴我能做许多事情，比如写作和电脑编程。我有雄心壮志，长大后我要在开发电脑软件的公司里工作。去年我开发了一个电脑足球游戏，有一家大公司已经决定从我这儿买走。我的生活很充实，没有时间坐着顾影自怜。除了同我的朋友一起去看电影和足球比赛外，我还花很多时间和我的宠物在一起。我有两只兔子、一只鹦鹉，一缸金鱼和一只乌龟。我得花大量时间来照顾这些宠物，但我觉得很值。此外，我还有好多功课要做，而别是在病了一段时间之后。

高一英语期中成绩分析总结 会同三中向亚萍 一、考试成绩分析 （一）教情分析 本届高一共8个英语班。4位英语任课教师，都是送过几届高三的有经验的老师，大家都积极肯干、上进心强、乐于奉献，完全胜任高一的教学工作。 （二）学情分析 这次考试的内容是必修一的一二单元的内容。因本校生源差，英语基础更差，给授课带来一定难度。因此，整个学习进度较慢，学生对初高中的衔接接受较慢，考前没有专门时间复习，导致整体成绩不理想。 （三）成绩分析 从上表可以看出，英语为薄弱学科。 二、问题查摆 1、学生层面
由于学生重视程度不够，致使学生在学习的诸多环节中，知识掌握及其理解不到位，突出表现在：（1）学生懒于动手、动脑。 上课时相当一部分学生只是听老师讲，没有动手、动脑，导致所学知识一看就懂、一学就会、一做就错。因此，要大力推行课改，让学生主动地参与到教学过程中去，使他们真正成为学习的主人。 （2）相对基础较差 由于我校学生大部分来自乡镇中学，英语学科相对基础较差，没有养成良好的英语学习习惯，听力、阅读能力差，很难在短期内提高。 （3）落实不到位 老师课上、课下布置的作业，特别是英语的口头作业，学生不能及时完成或根本不做，从而影响学生听力及阅读能力的提高。 （4）学生计划性和学习效率太低 由于初中和高中学习的方式的差异，许多学生的学习主动性较差，缺乏计划性，从而导致学习效率太低。在有限的时间内不能完成相应内容。从而
造成学习拖欠现象。 （5）学生应试能力还不够，规范落实的不好。还没有形成科学的答题习惯；审题不仔细，答题不严谨，规范性不够。书面表达语言不条理、书写潦草、乱涂乱画现象严重。从书写，到答题的规范程度来看，我们和县一中存在一定的差距。 2、教师层面 （1）集体备课要求落实不够精细，特别是备学生方面，没有做到分层教学，目的性较差，达不到应有的效果。并且在学期初，在授课方面授课起点，和难点把握上不够准确 （2）作业布置与检查和单元测试组织不够严谨。 （3）利用自习学习英语的学生较少，为解决此问题要求提高作业的时效性。每位任课教师加大作业检查力度，并及时反馈，从而帮助学生养成良好地独立学习习惯。 （4）分层教学力度不够。 由于学生较多，管理力度存在差异，因此应该要加强面批、面改作业、谈心交朋友等多种措施，提升学生学习成绩。

He was losing his memory. A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family. Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep catch night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father. Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help. “Why do this?” Steve wondered. “Because she cares.” Melissa said. Steve nodded, tears in eye. Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys. Naomi put a small recorder near the piano, Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger. “It was beautiful." Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.” Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was sill in Steve Goodwin. It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.
高中英语故事阅读 Once upon a time the fox was talking to the wolf about the strength of man, how no animal could withstand him, and how all were obliged to employ cunning in order to protect themselves from him. The wolf answered, "If I could see a man just once, I would attack him nonetheless尽管如此." "I can help you to do that," said the fox. "Come to me early tomorrow morning, and I will show you one." The wolf arrived on time, and the fox took him out to the path which the huntsman used every day. First an old discharged soldier came by. "Is that a man?" asked the wolf. "No," answered the fox. "He has been one." Afterwards came a little boy on his way to school. "Is that a man?" "No, he will yet become one." Finally a huntsman came by with his double-barreled gun on his back, and a sword at his side. The fox said to the wolf, "Look, there comes a man. He is the one you must attack, but I am going back to my den." The wolf then charged at the man. When the huntsman saw him he said, "Too bad that I have not loaded with a bullet." Then he aimed and fired a load of shot into his face. The wolf pulled an awful face, but did not let himself be frightened, and attacked him again, on which the huntsman gave him the second barrel. The wolf swallowed his pain and charged at the huntsman again, who in turn drew out his naked sword, and gave him a few blows with it left and right, so that, bleeding all over, he ran howling back to the fox.
