She cycled to school, and then when entering the school gate, she would gave her bicycle to anyone of us to park it for her. It was a privilege（特别恩典）when Miss Bailey gave her bicycle to you. One day Shankar stood at the gate, Shankar was a hunchback（驼背的人）.We laughed and said, “Move out of the way, Shankar! Miss Bailey is going to enter!” Miss Bailey drove in and we allr ushed to offer our hands to her. But Miss Bailey looked past us all. “Will you park it for me?” she asked. We looked back to see who it was and were surprised to see it was towards Shankar. “I don’t think so, Miss Bailey!” stammered （结结巴巴地说）Shankar. “Why! Y ou lazy fellow!” said Miss Bailey playfully. “You don’t want to help your teacher, do you?” “ Of course I want to, Miss Bailey!” whispered Shankar. “But I might drop your cycle!” “ If you drop it ,you pickit up!” said the teacher with a smile.With that she gave her cycle to Shankar and didn’t look to see how he’d manage. Pretending she had confidence in his abilities, Miss Bailey turned and walked to class. We watched Shankar as he held her bike, we held our breath as we thought it was going to fall. Din es rushed to help. “Leave it!” Shankar said, and we all stopped. It seemed that his hump （驼背）disappeared as he drew himself up to his full height, and then with growing confidence, he pushed Miss Bailey’s cycle to the parking lot.

Can she come over tomorrow?" Donna wasa shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell."Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a big smile.In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon." she told me. But three days later, Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home. "Hi, Mrs. Loggia." the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she smiled brightly. "My name is Laura."My daughter's new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled(迷惑)when Laura's mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. "Judy!" she cried. "It's me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Y es, my daughter's friend looked familiar(熟悉).

The little girl, about 5 years old,was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop’s name cheerfully,prais ing her mother’s long nails —trying to catch her mother’s attention. Her mother just nodded and answered “Mm, hm” with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the motherdidn’t notice that.It broke my heart and got me wondering — what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn’t look into her daughter’s eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through WeChat.Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.This is not an only example. I’ve seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn’t right.The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become “technology slaves (奴隶)”, that is to say, they can’t control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I’m uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes. 1．The little girl turned silent because she failed to _____.A．stop to listen to her mumB．catch her mother’s attentionC．know the brand of her mobile phoneD．control herself while using mobile phone2．In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express _____.A．the hope that parents use new technology properlyB．the happiness that parents can use modern technologyC．the sadness that parents have many things to deal withD．the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Technology Slaves B．Middle-aged ParentsC．A Scene on the Tube D．Mindless Phone GamesE17、Alicia Keys was born in 1981 and grew up in New York.

Eric has decided to go all the way around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropical rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where it's safe and dry.Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s all part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started. That's why I gave myself two years to finish.”Protein bars（蛋白棒）give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove.

西方翻译史翻译（加脚注版）西方翻译史翻译——British tradition British traditionThere are, of course, several British traditions, though this entry covers in detailonly the tradition brought about by the arrival during the fifth century of invadersfrom what are now Holland, Denmark and Germany, who settled in the centralparts of the island and drove the Celtic inhabitants to its western and northernfringes (and, later, colonized Ireland similarly). Invasion and colonization havecharacterized the linguistic and cultural situation of these islands almost from thebeginning, and translation has played an active role throughout. Since theirarrival, the English –as they became –have been more than once under threatof invasion, but their cultural and linguistic hegemony has been seriouslychallenged only twice: during the period of the Viking invasions (eighth–tenthcenturies), where two languages were spoken in the region overrun by theVikings, and for the three hundred years after the Norman Conquest, whereAngloNormanwas initially the language of the conquerors and English thelanguage of the conquered. In both cases we are struck by the power of thenative traditions to absorb and finally take over from the traditions of theinvaders. Other invasions were accomplished more peacefully –witness the regular accommodations of the native traditions to traditions of classical learning –but with an equally energetic and important part played by translators andtheir translations. Indeed, the cultural situation of these islands has been suchthat, though the Celtic traditions still survive in the fringes to which the invaders consigned them, their recessive position is, regrettably, a reflexof the dominance of English: which may explain, though not justify, their neglect in thisentry.英国传统本词条仅涉及公元五世纪期间由外来入侵引起的翻译传统。

However,they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9).

They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Memory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” b etween the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.MillieYou will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well.

WilliamBlake经典诗歌代表作：London伦敦（双语）威廉·布莱克，英国第一位重要的浪漫主义诗人、版画家。

主要诗作有诗集《纯真之歌》、《经验之歌》等。

早期作品简洁明快，中后期作品趋向玄妙深沉，充满神秘色彩。

他一生中与妻子相依为命靠绘画和雕版的劳酬清贫为生，没有大书特书之处，只有一些一直延续的简单事实和紧迫的艺术创作活动。

后来诗人叶芝等人重编了他的诗集，人们才惊讶于他的纯真与深刻。

London ——William Blake伦敦——威廉布莱克I wandered through each chartered street,Near where the chartered Thames does flow,A mark in every face I meet,Marks of weakness, marks of woe.我走过每条独占的街道，徘徊在独占的泰晤士河边，我看见每个过往的行人有一张衰弱、痛苦的脸。

In every cry of every man,In every infant's cry of fear,In every voice, in every ban,The mind-forged manacles I hear:每个人的每声呼喊，每个婴孩害怕的号叫，每句话，每条禁令，都响着心灵铸成的镣铐。

How the chimney-sweeper's cryEvery blackening church appals,And the hapless soldier's sighRuns in blood down palace-walls.多少扫烟囱孩子的喊叫震惊了一座座熏黑的教堂，不幸兵士的长叹化成鲜血流下了宫墙。

But most, through midnight streets I hear How the youthful harlot's curseBlasts the new-born infant's tear,And blights with plagues the marriage-hearse. 最怕是深夜的街头又听年轻妓女的诅咒！它骇注了初生儿的眼泪，又用瘟疫摧残了婚礼丧车。

Flowers, tiny, brave and bright in the old snow.不畏严寒的花儿在残雪中绽放。

Trees, smelling fresh with life, leaves opening slowly under the pale blue sky.树木因有了生命而充满希望，绿叶在蓝天下慢慢地舒X。

初中英语七年级下册Uint 1 Section B 2B 参考译文When people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.当人们说到“文化”时，我们会想到艺术和历史。

但在美国文化中一个非常有名的标志是卡通片。

大家都熟知并热爱那只长着又大又圆耳朵的黑老鼠——米老鼠。

80多年前，它第一次在卡通片“威利号汽船”出现。

当这部卡通片于1928年11月18日在纽约播出时，它成为第一部有声音、有音乐的卡通片。

米老鼠的幕后之人就是沃尔特·迪斯尼。

他变得非常富有和成功。

在20世纪30年代，他用米老鼠制作了87部卡通片。

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his earlyfilms, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.一些人也许会问这种卡通动物是怎样如此受欢迎的。

Chance favors the prepared mind.英语原著读写指导教学流程（一）如何设置故事悬念？1. 理论基础格式塔心理学派认为，人们通过感官知觉得到的是一个个“完形”，当人们在观看到一个不规则，不完满的形状时，就会产生一种内在的紧张力。

这种力迫使大脑皮层紧张地活动，以填补“缺陷”，能给人以意觉上的不完满感，因此，在阅读前巧设悬念，就能激发学生的好奇心和求知欲，使其思维处于一种激动状态，产生一种非弄清不可的探究心理。

2. 设置故事悬念技巧与电视节目预告一样，教师先把小说的魅力、事情的高潮、结果之中某个突出的片断的故事讲给学生听，让学生不由自主地产生究根究底的愿望，自然地在教师的带领下进入阅读的大门。

（二）如何梳理小说中的人物关系？把握好人物关系，是理解小说的关键，可以通过建立人物关系思维导图的方式，理清小说中的人物关系。

（三）如何梳理小说的故事情节？把握好故事情节，是读懂小说的关键。

故事情节梳理通常从故事的开始，发展，高潮和结束四个环节着手。

（四）如何概括故事大意（summary) ？概括故事大意是培养学生归纳概括能力的有效途径之一。

概括故事大意可以从以下三个方面着手。

1）依据故事情节。

（九）写作指导—提高篇英语原著《弗兰肯斯坦》读写指导课例一．《弗兰肯斯坦》悬念设置One stormy night a horrible scream came from a room in a hotel suddenly. Frankenstein rushed there, only to find his newly- married wife lying in blood with her heart taken out. Who was the murderer? Why was the murder so brutal?（一个狂风暴雨之夜，突然从一个旅馆的房间里传来一声可怕的尖叫声。
