They made a rocket ship out of bits and pieces. The rocket ship looked quite good. Wilf and Chip played in the rocket ship. They pretended to be spacemen. “The rocket is going to take off,” said Wilf. “Five…four…three…two…” Floppy ran up. He wanted to get in the rocket ship with Wilf and C hip. “Go away, Floppy,” called Chip. “The rocket is going to take off!” Nadim came to play. He had his computer with him, but he liked the look of the rocket ship. He wanted to play in it too. Just then, it began to rain. “There’s not room for all of us,” said Chip. “Let’s go inside and play with Nadim’s computer.” They played a game on the computer. It was called Red Planet. They had to land a rocket on the planet. Wilf and chip crashed the rocket. Nadim didn’t. he was good at the game. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. Chip and Wilf pulled Nadim away from the computer and ran into Biff’s room. “Come on,” called Chip. “It’s time for an adventure.” The magic took them to a rocket ship. It took Floppy too. The rocket looked as if it was about to take off, but the door was open. Nadim wanted to look inside the rocket. “Come on,” he called. Chip didn’t want to go inside. “It may not be safe,” he said. “Why not?” said Nadim. “This is a magic adventure.” They went inside the rocket. There was nobody there. “Look at this computer,” said Nadim. Floppy jumped up and put his paw on a button. Five…four…three…two…one. The rocket began to take off. Up it went and out into space. “Oh no!” said Chip. “I don’t know where we’re going.” They began to float about inside th e rocket. Nadim found some boots. He put them on. “We must put these boots on,” he said. “They will keep us down on the floor.” They went to the window and looked out. They saw a big red planet. “We are going to land on that planet,” said Nadim. “We will soon be there.” Nadim made the rocket land. “I wouldn’t like to do that again,” he said. “It’s a good job Nadim knows about computers,” thought Wilf. “I wouldn’t like to crash here.” There was red dust all over the planet. There were red rocks and red mountains. Floppy didn’t like the look of it. He began to bark and bark. “There are no trees,” he thought. They wanted to go outside and look at the planet. They found a space buggy. They looked in the space buggy and found some spacesuits. “Let’s put thesespa cesuits on,” said Wilf. “Then we can go outside.” “Do you think it will be safe outside?” asked Chip. “I don’t know,” said Wilf. They went out on the planet in the buggy. The buggy bumped over the rocks and the red dust flew up. “I don’t like this,”though t Floppy. “I’m not made for space adventures.” Suddenly the ground cracked and a big hole opened up. “Oh help,” said Chip, Wilf, and Nadim as the buggy fell into the hole. They fell down and down inside the planet. “I don’t like this,” thought Floppy. “I want to go home.” They all landed with a bump. The buggy landed with a crash and broke in two. They were inside a big cave. “What a place!” said Wilf. “Look at it.” Chip looked at the buggy. “It’s broken,” he said. “It’s had it!” “How will we get back to th e rocket?” Floppy began to bark. There were some creatures in the cave. They looked like funny little people. “Oh no!” said Nadim. “Look at them! I hope they like us.” The creatures looked at the boys. They climbed on the broken buggy and pulled out a spac esuit. One of them turned a tap on Floppy’s spacesuit. Floppy’s spacesuit began to fill with air. It got bigger and bigger. Then Floppy began to float. “Get Floppy!” yelled Chip. “Don’t let him float away!” Wilf asked the creatures hoe to get out of the cave. They told him that there was no way out. They said that they had never been outside. Wilf had a good idea. He took a spacesuit out and he filled it with air. The spacesuit got bigger and bigger. It began to float up and up. “Hold on,” called Wilf, “and don’t let go!” The spacesuit floated up out of the cave. “We can float back to the rocket,” said Chip. “What a good idea!” “I hope it won’t go pop,” thought Floppy. They floated back to the rocket. Wilf let the air out of the spacesuit and it came down to the ground. “Good old Wilf!” said Nadim. “I don’t like floating,” thought Floppy. They went inside the rocket and it took off. Nadim turned on the computer and looked at the screen. “We’ll soon be home,” he said. Just then the magic key began to glow. “That’s good,” thought Floppy. “They won’t have to land the rocket. Dogs don’t like space adventures.” The magic took them back home. “I liked that adventure,” said Wilf. He looked at the little spacesuit. “So did I,” said Nadim, “but I’m glad I didn’t have to land that rocket again.”7-2 Lost in the JungleThe next day was Mum’s birthday. Chip had a box of chocolates for her. Kipper had made her a monkey at school. Biff didn’t know what to get. Biff asked Anneena’s mum to help her buy a plant. They went into a big greenhouse. The greenhouse was hot, and it was full of plants. “What a lot of plants!” said Biff. “It’s like a jungle in here. I don’t know which one to buy.” In the end, she found one that she liked. “I’ll get this one for Mum,” she said. The next day was Mum’s birthday and the children gave her their presents. Mum liked them all. “Thank you,” she said. “What a lovely plant, Biff!” Dad had a present for Mum. It was a plant. “I didn’t know Biff had a plant as well,” said Dad. “I don’t mind a bit,” s aid Mum. Anneena came to play with Biff and Chip. “This is from my mum,” she said. Wilma’s mum came round with a plant too. “Thank you,” said Mum. “I love plants. It’s quite like a jungle in here.” The children went to play in Biff’s room. Annena looked at the little house. “Can we have a magic adventure?” she asked. “We can if the key glows,” said Kipper. Just then the key did began to glow. The magic took them into a jungle. The jungle was full of plants. “It’s wonderful,” said Biff. “Look at that one; it’s ten times bigger than the one I gave Mum.” They saw a monkey up a tree. It jumped up and down on the branch. “That monkey looks cross,” said Kipper. “I don’t think it likes us.” “It looks like you,” said Chip. The monkey was angry with the children. It shook the branch. Thenit began to throw things at them. “We can’t stay here,” said Biff. “Come on.” They ran through the jungle, but suddenly Chip stopped. “Oh no!” he said. “Look at this.” There was a big snake in the way. “We can’t go this way,” said Chip. “Come on.” They came to a river. There were alligators asleep on the bank. “Don’t wake them up,” said Kipper. “They might get angry.” “They might like you for dinner,” said Biff. Suddenly they fell into a big bet. It pulled them up in the air. “Oh help!” called Anneena. “We’re in a trap.” The children were hanging in the net. The net was a trap to catch animals. “Help! Help!” called the children. “Let us down!” called Kipper. A man and a lady came out of the trees. They were explorers. “Don’t worry,” sa id the lady, “we’ll soon get you down.” “What are you doing in the jungle?” asked the man. “Are you lost?” “Yes,” said Biff. “I think we are.” “So are we,” said the lady, “but then we have been lost for years.” She showed them a picture. “We are looking fo r this place,” she said. “It’s called the Lost City. Nobody lives there. It’s been lost for years and years.” The children liked the explorers. They wanted to help them find the Lost City. “Maybe we can find it today,” said Kipper. “I don’t think so,” said the man. “We have been looking for years.” They came to a rope bridge. “Maybe the Lost City is over there,” said Biff. “Let’s go and see.” They began to cross the bridge. “I hope it’s safe,” said Kipper. They found a boat on the bank of the river. The boa t was full of water. “Oh good!” said the explorers. “We lost this boat years ago.” They got in the boat and paddled up the river. “Look at all the alligators!” said Chip. “I hope it’s not their dinner time.” They came to a waterfall. The explorer could not stop the boat. The paddle had broken. “Look out!” he called. “We’re going to get wet.” The boat went through the waterfall. “Oh help,” said Anneena, “I don’t like getting wet.” “Think of the alligators,” said Chip. “It’s better than getting eaten!” Behind the waterfall there were some steps. The steps went up and up for a long way. Nobody could see how far they went. “This may be the way to the Lost City,” said the lady. “Come on.” As they climbed the steps, some bats flew past them. “If this is the way to the city, I can see how it got lost,” said Anneena. “It’s such a long way up.” “It’s the Lost City!” shouted the explorers. “We have found it at last.” The man threw his hat in the air and his wife jumped up and down. ‘I knew we’d find it today,” said Kip per. Nobody had been in the city for years. There were plants and trees everywhere. Biff pulled a plant out of a wall. “This is like the one I gave Mum,” she said. They went to a big building and they opened the doors. “Oh look!” they all gasped. Everythin g inside the building was made of gold. The floor was gold and the walls were gold. There were some gold steps that went up to a gold throne. “What a wonderful place!” said Anneena. “There’s gold everywhere.” Kipper sat on the gold throne. A monkey jumped down behind him. “Look at me!” he said. “Look at that monkey behind Kipper,” said Biff. “Which one is the monkey?” asked Chip. Suddenly, the key began to glow. “It’s time to go home,” said Chip. “Goodbye,” said the explorers. “Thank you for helping us find the Lost City.” “I wish we had a magic key,” said the man. The magic took the children home. Biff still had the plant she found in the Lost City. “I’ll put it in Mum’s jungle,” she said. “I know where we can get a monkey too.”7-3 The Broken RoofIt was games time at school. The children were outside on the field. Anneena ran up to Mrs May. “Come and see something, Mrs May,” she said. Someone had broken the fence down and dumped junk on the field. Wilf was cross. “We don’t want junk on our field,” he said.“The field isn’t a dump,” said Mrs May. Then Mrs May saw something in the junk. “Do you see this?” she asked the children. “It’s a mangle. It gets the water out of wet clothes.” “How does it do that?” asked Anneena. Mrs May took the mangle into the classroom. She showed the children how it worked. First she got a big sheet and made it wet. Then Nadim turned the handle and Biff helped Mrs May put the sheet through. The water ran out of the sheet and went into a bucket. “We don’t use mangles now to get clothes dry,” said Mrs May. “What do we use?” Mrs May showed the children a picture of someone washing clothes a long time ago. Mrs May asking the children if they had any old things at home. Some of the children said they had. When Biff and Chip got home from school they looked at the little house. “The house looks very old,” said Chip, “and so do these little children. Let’s take them to school.” Kipper didn’t want them to take the little house to school. “What about the magic?” he asked Biff. “The magic won’t work if we don’t take the key,” said Biff. Some of the children took old things to school. “What a lot of things,” said Mrs May. “We can find out all about them and have a display.” Mrs May liked the little house and so did all the children. Biff and chip didn’t say that the house was magic. That was a secret. Wilf was being silly. He climbed on Mrs May’s table and pushed some books over. The books fell on to the little house with a crash. “Oh no!” said Biff. One of the books made a hole in the roof. Wilf was very upset when he saw that the roof was broken. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Perhaps I can get my dad to mend it.” Biff and Chip took the house home. Kipper was cross when he saw that it was broken. He had the magic key in his hand. “Will the magic still work?” he asked. Just then the key began to glow. A new adventure began. The magic took the children back in time. It took them to their house a long time ago. The house looked new but the roof was broken. There were three children playing outside and two men were mending the roof. “Didn’t our house look nice a long time ago?” said Biff. “But how did the roof get broken?” The children saw Biff, Chip and Kipper, and ran up to them. “Hello,” they said. “Who are you?” “I’m Biff,” said Biff. “This is Chip, and th is is Kipper. “What funny names!” said the girl. “My name is Victoria, this is Edward, and this is Will.” “What funny clothes you have!” said Will. “Not as funny as yours!” said Kipper. Kipper looked up at the men on the roof. “How did the roof get broken?” he asked. “We don’t know,” said Edward. “It’s was broken when we woke up.” “That’s funny,” said Kipper. A lady came out and called to the children. “Go inside and wash your hands,” she said. “It’s time for tea.” ‘Is that your mother?” Biff asked. “No,” s aid Edward. “That’s our cook.” The children went into the kitchen. The cook looked at Biff, Chip and Kipper. “May they stay to tea?” asked Victoria. “They have funny clothes,” said Cook, “but yes.” Biff looked round the kitchen. “This is not like our kitch en,” she said. Cook looked at Chip’s hands. “Go and wash your hands,” she said. “You can’t have tea until you do.” After tea, Cook made the children wash their hands again. Then she told Edward to take some tea to the workmen. “Come and see our rooms,” said Edward. The broken roof was in Edward’s room. “Is it mended yet?” heasked. “It won’t be long now,” said the man. “Thanks for the tea.” The children went into Victoria’s room. Victoria had a little room in her bedroom. It was the one Biff had. “We keep toys in here,” said Victoria. “Come and look.” Biff, Chip, and Kipper looked at the children’s toys. “I wish we had a horse like this,” Chip said. “So do I,” said Biff. Victoria took Biff, Chip, and Kipper into the little room. “Come and see this,” she said. “What is it?” asked Kipper. Victoria showed them a little house. She told them that her father was making it for them. “It will look like this house,” she said. “We know,” said Biff. Edward looked at Chip’s watch and Chip looked at Edward’s boat. “Do you want to swap?” asked Edward. “Yes, please,” said Chip, “then I can take the boat to school to show Mrs May.” Suddenly the magic key began to glow. “It’s time to go,” said Kipper, “but I don’t want to.” “Will you come back?” asked Edward. “We don’t know,” said Biff. “Maybe.” The magic took the children home. They looked at the little house. “The broken roof has been mended,” said Biff. “How did that happen?” “I don’t know,” said Chip, “maybe Dad mended it.” “I think the workmen in the adventure did it,” said Kipper. “We saw them.” “I think it was magic,” said Biff. “I liked that adventure best of all,” said Biff. “I liked those children long ago. I’d like to go back and see them again.” “Me too,” said Chip, looking at the boat. “Maybe I could get my watch back!”7-4 The Lost KeyKipper wanted a magic adventure but the magic key would not glow. It had not glowed for a long time. “Maybe it will glow if I keep it with me,” he thought, so he put it in his pocket. Mum had to go shopping. She wanted Kipper to go wi th her. “I want to get you some new trainers,” she said, “so come on.” Kipper forgot he had the key in his pocked. On the way to the shops, Mum let Kipper stop and play. He ran to the rocket and the key fell out of his pocket and on to the grass. “Look at me, Mum!” he called. Kipper looked in his pockets but the key was not there. “Oh no!” said Kipper. “Where is the key? I can’t have lost it, can I? But he had lost the key. Kipper wanted to go and look for the key, but Mum would not let him. It had started to rain and Mum wanted to get home. “Ask Biff and Chip to look for it,” she said. A man came to cut the grass. He cut it with a mower. The mower ran over the magic key with a clang. “What was that?” said the man. The key had broken the mower. “Grrrrr!” the man said, crossly. “Now I shall have to mend the mower.” He was so cross that he threw the magic key in a bin. Two boys came to play on the swings. One of the boys looked in the bin and found the key. “Look at this old, bent key,” he said. “What shall we do with it?” The boys took the key with them. One of them had some string. He tied the key to the string and spun it round and round. Suddenly the string broke and the key flew through the air. It hit a greenhouse with a crash and broke the glass. “Oh no!”said the boys. “Look at my greenhouse!” yelled the man. “The glass is broken.” The boys ran away as fast as they could. “Just you come back here,” called the man. Kipper had to tell Biff and Chip that he had lost the magic key. “I think I lost it by the r ocket,” he said, “but Mum wouldn’t let me look for it.” “Come on,” said Chip. ‘We must find it.” Wilf and Wilma helped them look for the lost key. Biff asked the man if he had seen it. “Yes,” said the man. “I threw it in that bin, but two boys took it out.” The children saw the two boys. They asked them if they had found the key. “Yes,”said the boys, “but we lost it again. We broke a man’s greenhouse with it.” The saw the man with the greenhouse. “We are sorry about the broken glass,” said Chip, “but could we have the key?” “Sorry,” said the man. “I sold the key to the junk shop to help pay for the glass.” The children went to the junk shop. They told the lady about the key and asked her if she had it. “Sorry,” said the lady. “I have just sold it.” The lady told them who had it. “A man came in,” she said. “He wanted some old keys.” She told them that the man had a shop down the street. The children went to the man’s shop. In the window there were pictures and paintings. “Why do you think the man wants old ke ys?” asked Wilf. Wilma looked inside the shop. It was closed and she couldn’t see the man. ‘We must get our pocket money,” said Biff. “We may have to buy the key back.” “Let’s go home, then,” said Chip. Mum went to the shop with the children. She told the man about the key and how Kipper had lost it. She asked if they could have the key back. “Yes,” said the man. “If you can find it.” The man had painted some pictures and had put lots of keys in them. All the keys had been painted. The children looked at th e pictures but they couldn’t see the magic key. They looked at all the pictures. “All the keys look the same,” said Biff. Suddenly Kipper saw a little picture. It had one key in it. “Here it is,” he said. “This is our key.” The man told them that they would have to buy the picture. Biff and Chip gave Mum their pocket money, and Mum paid the man. “It’s a lot to pay for an old key,” she said. The children pulled the key from the picture and rubbed off the paint. Then they looked at it. “The key has not glowed for a long time,” said Biff. “Perhaps it has lost its magic.” “It’s been out in the rain,” said Wilf, “and it’s been bent by a mower.” ‘It’s been through a window,” said Chip, “and it’s been stuck on a painting.” “It’s had a bad time,” said Wilma. The children wanted the key to glow. Wilma picked it up. “Do you think it will ever glow again?” she said. “Do you think the magic will still work?” “I don’t know,” said Biff. “I hope so.” But the key didn’t glow and the magic wouldn’t work. Kipper told the key about the adventures he would like to have. But still the magic wouldn’t work. The next day, Wilf and Wilma came to the house with Nadim and Anneena. The children were sorry about the key. It still wouldn’t glow and they were all very sad. “How can we make the magic work again?” asked Wilma. Anneena thought of a good idea. “Let’s remind it of the magic adventures,” she said. “Maybe that will make it work.” But the key still didn’t glow. At last the children gave up. Mum told Biff and Chip it was time for the ir friends to go home. “Cheer up,” said Mum. Kipper was sorry about the key. “It’s all my fault.” He said and he began to cry. “Don’t cry, Kipper,” said Chip. “Maybe the magic has just run out.” Biff and Chip let Kipper take the key to bed. Kipper looked at it for a long time. At last he fell asleep. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow.7-5 The Willow Pattern PlotBiff and Chip were at a car boot sale. They saw Nadim. “Nadim! Over here!” called Biff. Nadim ran to see them. He had bought something at the sale. It was a biue and white plate. He showed it to Biff and Chip. “It’s present for my mum,” said Nadim. “It’s a willow pattern plate. My mum collects them.” “Why is it called a willow pattern plate?” asked Chip. “I don’t know,” said Nadim, “but I think t he pattern tells a story.” “I wonder what the story is,” said Biff. Mum and Dad looked at Nadim’s plate.“It’s present for my mum,” said Nadim. Biff asked if Nadim could come and play. So Nadim went to play with Biff and Chip. The went up to Biff’s bedroom. “What shall we play?” asked Nadim. “I don’t know,” said Biff. Suddenly, the key began to glow. The magic took the children into a new adventure. “What’s happening?” called Nadim. “Help!” said Biff. “Everything is going blue!” “What a strange place!” said Chip. “What strange trees!” “Everything looks blue and white,” said Nadim. “We’re in the land of the willow pattern.” They were in a big garden. It had a high wall all round it and blue trees grew everywhere. “I can see water,” said Biff. “Is the garden n ext to the sea?’ “No, it’s next to a lake,” said Nadim. “There’s a bridge,” said Biff. “It’s like the one on the plate.” “I can see a little house down by the water,” said Chip. Down by the lake they saw a girl. She was all alone. “She looks unhappy,” said Biff. “Why is she all alone and why is she crying?” The girl was called Kim Shee. She lived in the little house by the lake. She had a cruel father. He would not let her go out of the garden. Kim loved a boy called Chang. She wanted to marry him. But Chang was too poor. Kim’s father wanted her to marry a rich man, but Kim loved Chang. Kim Shee heard Chang calling. “Kim Shee,” he called. “Are you alone?” “Chang!” said Kim. “How did you get here?” “I swam across the lake,” said Chang. “Nobody saw me.” “Oh!” said Kim. “You are cold and wet.” “It does not matter,” said Chang. But Kim Shee was afraid. “You must go away,” she said. “My father must not see you here.” “This garden is like a prison,” said Chang. “Your father never lets you go out.” “But what can we do?” asked Kim. “We must run away,” said Chang. “Then I can marry you.” “But how can I leave the garden?” everywhere.” “Don’t worry,” said Chang. “I will think of something.” Kim heard the sound of a twig snapping. “Someone is watching us!” she gasped. Cha ng jumped to his feet. He held up a stick. “Who is there?” he called. Then they saw Biff, Chip and Nadim. “Don’t be afraid,” said Biff. “We are friends.” “We have never seen children like you before,” gasped Chang. “How did you get into this garden?” “We didn’t mean to listen,” said Chip, “but we heard what you were saying.” “We know you want to run away,” said Biff. “But how can we?” asked Kim. “There are guards all round the garden.” Nadim had a good idea. He told them what it was. “It’s a brilliant idea!” said Chip. “I’m sure it will work,” said Biff. “But what if we are caught?” asked Chang. “Do you have a better idea?” asked Biff. “No,” said Chang. “It is our only chance.” “First, you must hid e,” said N adim. “Then, be ready to run over the bridge,” said chip. “Now we must get ready,” said Nadim. Kim had a long sash round her waist. “Give me your sash, Kim,” said Biff. Kim gave Biff her sash. Biff tied Kim’s sash to the bridge. There were lemon trees in the garden. Nadim and Chip climbed into one. They picked as many lemons as they could. Then they waited. Kim and Chang hid by the bridge. Biff held on to the end of the sash. “I hope Nadim’s idea works,” she thought. Nadim called from the tree. “Willow Pattern Plot-begin!” he said. Chip and Nadim began to shout at the guards. “Come and get us!” they yelled. “We’re over here.” The guards ran into the garden. They ran towards Kim Shee’s little house. Now that the guards were in the garden, Kim Shee and Chang could escape. Someone else ran into the garden. “My father is coming!” gasped Kim Shee. Kim and Chang began to run, but the guards saw them. “Stop them!” shouted Kim Shee’s father. Nadim and Chip threw the lemons atthe guards. Chang and Kim Shee ran over the bridge. The guards chased after them. Biff got r eady. “I hope Kim’s sash is strong!” she said. The guards ran onto the bridge. Biff pulled the sash tight. The guards tripped over it. They fell over with a crash. “You fools!” shouted Kim Shee’s father. Chip and Nadim climbed down from the lemon tree. The y ran across to find Biff. Kim Shee’s father saw them. “Catch those children,” he yelled. “Well done, Biff!” said Chip. “Kim and Chang have got away!” “I hope we get away, too,” said Biff. The magic key was glowing. “Hooray! It’s time to go!” she said. “What an adventure!” said Chip. Nadim picked up his plate and looked at it. “I wonder what happened in the real willow pattern story,” he said.7-6 Submarine AdventureWilf and Wilma had come to play at Biff and Chip’s house. It was Wilf’s birthday. “Happy birthday, Wilf,” said Biff and Chip. They gave him a big card. Wilf had a large box. “This is my birthday present,” he said. Everyone looked inside the box. “What is it?” asked Chip. “It looks like a submarine,” said Biff. “It’s a kind of submarine,” said Wilf. “It explores the sea bed.” “That’s right,” said Wilma. “It goes to the bottom of the sea.” “What a brilliant present!” said Biff. The submarine looked like a car. It had big windows and it had headlights. Wilf put the headlights on. “It’s brilliant,” said Chip. Biff looked at the magic key. Suddenly it began to glow. It was time for a new adventure. “I wonder where the key will take us,” said Wilf. The magic took the children to the sea, where there were lots of boats. Chip pointed to a yellow submarin e. “Look at that one,” he said. “It looks just like Wilf’s submarine!” The children went to look at the submarine. “I wish we could look inside,” said Chip. Just then a hatch began to open and a man looked out. The man peered at them. “Hello!” he said. “I’m Professor Tangle.” “How do you do,” said Wilf. “My new crew?” said Professor Tangle. “You look a bit young.” “We’re not your new crew,” shouted Wilf. “How do you do!” Professor Tangle didn’t hear properly. He got things muddled up. “You know what to do?”he said. “That’s good! Get on board,” went on the Professor. “And tell me your names.” “I’m Biff,” said Biff, “and this is Wilma. This is Wilf, and this is Chip.” “No, it’s not a ship,” said the Professor. “It’s a diving machine.” “We know that,” said Wilf. “We’ve never been in one,” said Wilma, “and we’re not your new crew!” “You flew?” said Professor Tangle. “I didn’t see an aeroplane. Now shall we go?” Everyone smiled, and they all climbed into the submarine. Professor Tangle shut the hatch. ‘There’s not much room,” said Wilma. “No,” said Biff. “I hope it doesn’t leak.” “Of course you can speak,” said the Professor. Professor Tangle started the engines. “It’s time to dive,” he said. The submarine went under the water. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. Everyon e looked outof the window. They could see fish everywhere. “It’s wonderful,” said Chip. “It’s amazing to be under the sea.” “You can’t see?” said Professor Tangle. “Look out of the window, then.” “Come on, crew!” said Professor Tangle. “Time to do some wo rk. Push that button, Biff. Press that handle, Wilf. Pull that lever, Chip.” “We’re not the crew!” yelled Biff. “Things might go wrong.” “Sing a song?” said Professor Tangle. “There’s no time for that. There’s far too much to do.” The submarine began to di ve. It went deeper and deeper. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. “Where are we heading?” shouted Chip. “Will we dive deep?” “No, you can’t go to sleep,” said Professor。

Men and women, the old and the young, if they are healthy and would like to, all of them can take part in it. Football has a long history. Many people think football started in England more than 800 years ago.The World Cup is very important in football. Teams from different countries play with each other. There is a World Cup for men. There is another World Cup for women. Usually, people can enjoy the World Cup every four years in different countries. Do you know how to play football? Let me tell you more.Players usually wear shorts and a shirt. Players also wear long socks over shin guards (护腿). They can protect the legs from moving balls and kicks (踢). Players wear special shoes, too. There are some studs (鞋钉) under the shoes. They can make it easy for players to run on the grass.There are 11 players in a football team. When they play a game, players in a team try to move the ball down the field. Players in the other team try to take the ball away. Players in one team want to kick the ball into the other goal, because they can get a point when the ball goes into the other team’s goal. Football players can only kick the ball and cannot get the ball with their hands. Only goal keepers can use their hands to get the ball. The goal keeper tries to stop a ball from going into a goal of his team. Now teams around the world follow the sameHomeworkThe CSIRO is an Australian science agency (组织).

关于牛津树分级阅读的阅读感想和指南汇总—网络摘录一、关于无字书：如果孩子对图画的理解力比较弱一些，家长在孩子翻阅的时候，就可以试着把书中的图画所传达的基本意思给孩子讲出来，帮助孩子读懂这些故事。

这就属于分享阅读（Shared Reading）。

给孩子读了几本之后就可以试着让孩子自己讲讲，逐渐进入导读（Guided Reading）阶段。

假如孩子对图画的理解力达到了同龄孩子的平均水平，就可以考虑采用导读（Guided Reading）的方式。

如果家里只有一个孩子，也没有关系，导读不一定总是一组小朋友一起读。

家长可以让孩子讲解一下图画的内容，有些地方孩子不理解或者说不上来的时候，家长就可以帮助分析、给与提示。

这样读几本之后，家长可以根据孩子的进步情况，尝试独立阅读（Independent Reading）。

如果孩子的理解力比较高，就可以采取独立阅读（Independent Reading）的方法。

家长可以让孩子独立地从头到尾把整个故事讲一遍，之后，也可以提问几个简单的问题，让孩子不看书的情况下试着回答，‘考一考’孩子的记忆力。

或者，让孩子讲讲最喜欢这个故事的那些地方、为什么等等。

二、如果孩子对以上书籍的理解力和看图说话能力都非常好，也可以考虑开始另一系列书：单词启蒙系列First Words series。

牛津阅读树系列第一级：单词启蒙系列书（First Words）牛津阅读树系列第一级stage 1 第一个单词系列Floppy Did This牛津阅读树第一级的单词启蒙系列书为孩子的阅读生涯打下坚实的基础，帮助孩子一步步喜欢上读书、养成阅读的好习惯。

本系列共有两套，每一套都有6本。

2022年06月第03期Jun.2022 No.03国际视野Global Vision 中国校外教育AFTERSCHOOL EDUCATION IN CHINA儿童分级阅读标准的国际经验及启示宋东升 李晓巍摘要：采用比较研究法，选取美国蓝思分级阅读体系、美国A—Z分级法、英国品牌分级阅读读物“牛津阅读树”、英国国家阅读分级系统4个项目，对其分级标准、分级方式进行对比分析，并梳理其优势和不足。

在此基础上，总结概括国际儿童分级阅读标准对我国分级阅读实践的启示。

在研制分级标准时，要树立科学的图书分级理念，关注儿童阅读能力的个体差异；要认真解读国家课程标准，并以此作为图书分级的理论依据。

在分级方式上，需兼顾文本的主观和客观因素以及儿童自身的特点；注重文本与读者能力分级在实践过程中的结合；调动多方主体共同协作，保证分级阅读标准的科学性和适宜性。

一、引言分级阅读这一概念在20世纪中后期起源于英、美等发达国家，是依赖对儿童生理和心理特征的科学分析，按照儿童不同年龄段的智力和心理发育程度，甄选出符合儿童阅读水平和阅读需求的不同篇幅、难度、主旨的阅读书目并提出如何进行阅读的一种阅读指导方式[1-2]。

They made a rocket ship out of bits and pieces. The rocket ship looked quite good. Wilf and Chip played in the rocket ship. They pretended to be spacemen. “The rocket is going to take off,” said Wilf. “Five…four…three…two…” Floppy ran up. He wanted to get in the rocket ship with Wilf and Chip. “Go away, Floppy,” called Chip. “The rocket is going to take off!” Nadim came to play. He had his computer with him, but he liked the look of the rocket ship. He wanted to play in it too. Just then, it began to rain. “There’s not room for all of us,” said Chip. “Let’s go inside and play with Nadim’s computer.” They played a game on the computer. It was called Red Planet. They had to land a rocket on the planet. Wilf and chip crashed the rocket. Nadim didn’t. he was good at the game. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. Chip and Wilf pulled Nadim away from the computer and ran into Biff’s room. “Come on,” called Chip. “It’s time for an adventure.” The magic took them to a rocket ship. It took Floppy too. The rocket looked as if it was about to take off, but the doo r was open. Nadim wanted to look inside the rocket. “Come on,” he called. Chip didn’t want to go inside. “It may not be safe,” he said. “Why not?” said Nadim. “This is a magic adventure.” They went inside the rocket. There was nobody there. “Look at this c omputer,” said Nadim. Floppy jumped up and put his paw on a button. Five…four…three…two…one. The rocket began to take off. Up it went and out into space. “Oh no!” said Chip. “I don’t know where we’re going.” They began to float about inside the rocket. Nad im found some boots. He put them on. “We must put these boots on,” he said. “They will keep us down on the floor.” They went to the window and looked out. They saw a big red planet. “We are going to land on that planet,” said Nadim. “We will soon be there.” Nadim made the rocket land. “I wouldn’t like to do that again,” he said. “It’s a good job Nadim knows about computers,” thought Wilf. “I wouldn’t like to crash here.” There was red dust all over the planet. There were red rocks and red mountains. Floppy didn’t like the look of it. He began to bark andbark. “There are no trees,” he thought. They wanted to go outside and look at the planet. They found a space buggy. They looked in the space buggy and found some spacesuits. “Let’s put these spacesuits on,” said Wilf. “Then we can go outside.” “Do you think it will be safe outside?” asked Chip. “I don’t know,” said Wilf. They went out on the planet in the buggy. The buggy bumped over the rocks and the red dust flew up. “I don’t like this,” thought Floppy. “I’m not made for space adventures.” Suddenly the ground cracked and a big hole opened up. “Oh help,” said Chip, Wilf, and Nadim as the buggy fell into the hole. They fell down and down inside the planet. “I don’t like this,” thought Floppy. “I want to go home.” They all landed with a bump. The buggy landed with a crash and broke in two. They were inside a big cave. “What a place!” said Wilf. “Look at it.” Chip looked at the buggy. “It’s broken,” he said. “It’s had it!” “How will we get back to the rocket?” Floppy began to bark. There were some creatures in the cave. They looked like funny little people. “Oh no!” said Nadim. “Look at them! I hope they like us.” The creatures looked at the boys. They climbed on the broken buggy and pulled out a spacesuit. One of them turned a tap on Floppy’s spacesuit. Floppy’s spacesuit began to fill with air. It got bigger and bigger. Then Floppy began to float. “Get Floppy!” yelled Chip. “Don’t let him float away!” Wilf asked the creatures hoe to get out of the cave. They told him that there was no way out. They said that they had never been outside. Wilf had a good idea. He took a spacesuit out and he filled it with air. The spacesuit got bigger and bigger. It began to float up and up. “Hold on,” called Wilf, “and don’t let go!” The spacesuit floated up out of the cave. “We can float back to the rocket,” said Chip. “What a good idea!” “I hope it won’t go pop,” thought Floppy. They floated back to the rocket. Wilf let the air out of the spacesuit and it came down to the ground. “Good old Wilf!” said Nadim. “I don’t like floating,” thought Floppy. They went inside the rocket and it took off. Nadim turned on the computer and looked at the screen. “We’ll soon be home,” he said. Just then the magic key began to glow. “That’s good,” thought Floppy. “They won’t have to land the rocket. Dogs don’t like space adventures.” The magic took them back home. “I liked that adventure,” said Wilf. He looked at the little spacesuit. “So did I,” said Nadim, “but I’m glad I didn’t have to land that rocket again.”7-2 Lost in the JungleThe next day was Mum’s birthday. Chip had a box of chocolates for her. Kipper had made her a monkey at school. Biff didn’t know what to get. Biff asked Anneena’s mum to help her buy a plant. They went into a big green house. The greenhouse was hot, and it was full of plants. “What a lot of plants!” said Biff. “It’s like a jungle in here. I don’t know which one to buy.” In the end, she found one that she liked. “I’ll get this one for Mum,” she said. The next day was Mum’s birthday and the children gave her their presents. Mum liked them all. “Thank you,” she said. “What a lovely plant, Biff!” Dad had a present for Mum. It was a plant. “I didn’t know Biff had a plant as well,” said Dad. “I don’t mind a bit,” said Mum. Anneena came to play with Biff and Chip. “This is from my mum,” she said. Wilma’s mum came round with a plant too. “Thank you,” said Mum. “I love plants. It’s quite like a jungle in here.” The children went to play in Biff’s room. Annena looked at the little h ouse. “Can we have a magic adventure?” she asked. “We can if the key glows,” said Kipper. Just then the key did began to glow. The magic took them into a jungle. The jungle was full of plants. “It’s wonderful,” said Biff. “Look at that one; it’s ten times bigger thanthe one I gave Mum.” They saw a monkey up a tree. It jumped up and down on the branch. “That monkey looks cross,” said Kipper. “I don’t think it likes us.” “It looks like you,” said Chip. The monkey was angry with the children. It shook the branch. Then it began to throw things at them. “We can’t stay here,” said Biff. “Come on.” They ran through the jungle, but suddenly Chip stopped. “Oh no!” he said. “Look at this.” There was a big snake in the way. “We can’t go this way,” said Chip. “Come on.” They came to a river. There were alligators asleep on the bank. “Don’t wake them up,” said Kipper. “They might get angry.” “They might like you for dinner,” said Biff. Suddenly they fell into a big bet. It pulled them up in the air. “Oh help!” called Ann eena. “We’re in a trap.” The children were hanging in the net. The net was a trap to catch animals. “Help! Help!” called the children. “Let us down!” called Kipper. A man and a lady came out of the trees. They were explorers. “Don’t worry,” said the lady, “we’ll soon get you down.” “What are you doing in the jungle?” asked the man. “Are you lost?” “Yes,” said Biff. “I think we are.” “So are we,” said the lady, “but then we have been lost for years.” She showed them a picture. “We are looking for this place,” she said. “It’s called the Lost City. Nobody lives there. It’s been lost for years and years.” The children liked the explorers. They wanted to help them find the Lost City. “Maybe we can find it today,” said Kipper. “I don’t think so,” said the man. “We have been looking for years.” They came to a rope bridge. “Maybe the Lost City is over there,” said Biff. “Let’s go and see.” They began to cross the bridge. “I hope it’s safe,” said Kipper. They found a boat on the bank of the river. The boat was full of water. “Oh good!” said the explorers. “We lost this boat years ago.” They got in the boat and paddled up the river. “Look at all the alligators!” said Chip. “I hope it’s not their dinner time.” They came to a waterfall. The explorer could not stop the boa t. The paddle had broken. “Look out!” he called. “We’re going to get wet.” The boat went through the waterfall. “Oh help,” said Anneena, “I don’t like getting wet.” “Think of the alligators,” said Chip. “It’s better than getting eaten!” Behind the waterfal l there were some steps. The steps went up and up for a long way. Nobody could see how far they went. “This may be the way to the Lost City,” said the lady. “Come on.” As they climbed the steps, some bats flew past them. “If this is the way to the city, I can see how it got lost,” said Anneena. “It’s such a long way up.” “It’s the Lost City!” shouted the explorers. “We have found it at last.” The man threw his hat in the air and his wife jumped up and down. ‘I knew we’d find it today,” said Kipper. Nobody h ad been in the city for years. There were plants and trees everywhere. Biff pulled a plant out of a wall. “This is like the one I gave Mum,” she said. They went to a big building and they opened the doors. “Oh look!” they all gasped. Everything inside the building was made of gold. The floor was gold and the walls were gold. There were some gold steps that went up to a gold throne. “What a wonderful place!” said Anneena. “There’s gold everywhere.” Kipper sat on the gold throne. A monkey jumped down behind h im. “Look at me!” he said. “Look at that monkey behind Kipper,” said Biff. “Which one is the monkey?” asked Chip. Suddenly, the key began to glow. “It’s time to go home,” said Chip. “Goodbye,” said the explorers. “Thank you for helping us find the Lost City.” “I wish we had a magic key,” said the man. The magic took the children home. Biff still had the plant she found in the Lost City. “I’ll put it in Mum’s jungle,” she said. “I know where we can get a monkey too.”7-3 The Broken RoofIt was games time at school. The children were outside on the field. Anneena ran up to Mrs May. “Come and see something, Mrs May,” she said. Someone had broken the fence down and dumped junk on the field. Wilf was cross. “We don’t want junk on our field,” he said. “The field i sn’t a dump,” said Mrs May. Then Mrs May saw something in the junk. “Do you see this?” she asked the children. “It’s a mangle. It gets the water out of wet clothes.” “How does it do that?” asked Anneena. Mrs May took the mangle into the classroom. She showed the children how it worked. First she got a big sheet and made it wet. Then Nadim turned the handle and Biff helped Mrs May put the sheet through. The water ran out of the sheet and went into a bucket. “We don’t use mangles now to get clothes dry,” said Mrs May. “What do we use?” Mrs May showed the children a picture of someone washing clothes a long time ago. Mrs May asking the children if they had any old things at home. Some of the children said they had. When Biff and Chip got home from school they l ooked at the little house. “The house looks very old,” said Chip, “and so do these little children. Let’s take them to school.” Kipper didn’t want them to take the little house to school. “What about the magic?” he asked Biff. “The magic won’t work if we don’t take the key,” said Biff. Some of the children took old things to school. “What a lot of things,” said Mrs May. “We can find out all about them and have a display.” Mrs May liked the little house and so did all the children. Biff and chip didn’t say t hat the house was magic. That was a secret. Wilf was being silly. He climbed on Mrs May’s table and pushed some books over. The books fell on to the little house with a crash. “Oh no!” said Biff. One of the books made a hole in the roof. Wilf was very upse t when he saw that the roof was broken. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Perhaps I can get my dad to mend it.” Biff and Chip took the house home. Kipper was cross when he saw that it was broken. He had the magic key in his hand. “Will the magic still work?” he asked. Just then the key began to glow. A new adventure began. The magic took the children back in time. It took them to their house a long time ago. The house looked new but the roof was broken. There were three children playing outside and two men were mendin g the roof. “Didn’t our house look nice a long time ago?” said Biff. “But how did the roof get broken?” The children saw Biff, Chip and Kipper, and ran up to them. “Hello,” they said. “Who are you?” “I’m Biff,” said Biff. “This is Chip, and this is Kipper. “What funny names!” said the girl. “My name is Victoria, this is Edward, and this is Will.” “What funny clothes you have!” said Will. “Not as funny as yours!” said Kipper. Kipper looked up at the men on the roof. “How did the roof get broken?” he asked. “We don’t know,” said Edward. “It’s was broken when we woke up.” “That’s funny,” said Kipper. A lady came out and called to the children. “Go inside and wash your hands,” she said. “It’s time for tea.” ‘Is that your mother?” Biff asked. “No,” said Edward. “That’s our cook.” The children went into the kitchen. The cook looked at Biff, Chip and Kipper. “May they stay to tea?” asked Victoria. “They have funny clothes,” said Cook, “but yes.” Biff looked round the kitchen. “This is not like our kitchen,” she said. Cook looked at Chip’s hands. “Go and wash your hands,” she said. “You can’t have tea until you do.” After tea, Cook made the children wash their hands again. Then she told Edward to take some tea to the workmen. “Come and see our rooms,” said Edward. The broken roof was in Edward’s room. “Is it mended yet?” he asked. “It won’t be long now,” said the man. “Thanks for the tea.” The children went into Victoria’s room. Victoria had a little room in her bedroom. It was the one Biff had. “We keep toys in here,”said Victoria. “Come and look.” Biff, Chip, and Kipper looked at the children’stoys. “I wish we had a horse like this,” Chip said. “So do I,” said Biff. Victoria took Biff, Chip, and Kipper into the little room. “Come and see this,” she said. “What is it?” asked Kipper. Victoria showed them a little house. She told them that her father was making it for them. “It will look like this house,” she said. “We know,” said Biff. Edward looked at Chip’s watch and Chip looked at Edward’s boat. “Do you want to swap?” asked Edward. “Yes, please,” said Chip, “then I can take the boat to school to show Mrs May.” Suddenly the magic key began to glow. “It’s time to go,” said Kipper, “but I don’t want to.” “Will you come back?” asked Edward. “We don’t know,” said Biff. “Maybe.” The magic took the children home. They looked at the little house. “The broken roof has been mended,” said Biff. “How did that happen?” “I don’t know,” said Chip, “maybe Dad mended it.” “I think the workmen in the adventure did it,” said Kipper. “We saw them.” “I think it was magic,” said Biff. “I liked that adventure best of all,” said Biff. “I liked those children long ago. I’d like to go back and see them again.” “Me too,” said Chip, looking at the boat. “Maybe I could get my watch back!”7-4 The Lost KeyKipper wanted a magic adventure but the magic key would not glow. It had not glowed for a long time. “Maybe it will glow if I keep it with me,” he thought, so he put it in his pocket. Mum had to go shopping. She wanted Kipper to go with her. “I want to get you some new trainers,” she said, “so come on.” Kipper forgot he had the key in his pocked. On the way to the shops, Mum let Kipper stop and play. He ran to the rocket and the key fell out of his pocket and on to the grass. “Look at me, Mum!” he called. Kipper looked in his pockets but the key was not there. “Oh no!” said Kipper. “Where is the key? I can’t have lost it, can I? But he had lost the key. Kipper wanted to go and look for the key, but Mum would not let him. It had started to rain and Mum wanted to get home. “Ask Biff and Chip to look for it,” she said. A man came to cut the grass. He cut it with a mower. The mower ran over the magic key with a clang. “What was that?” said the man. The key had broken the mower. “Grrrrr!” the man said, crossly. “Now I shall have to mend the mower.” He was so cross that he threw the magic key in a bin. Two boys came to play on the swings. One of the boys looked in the bin and found the key. “Look at this old, bent key,” he said. “What shall we do with it?” The boys took the key with them. One of them had some string. He tied the key to the string and spun it round and round. Suddenly the string broke and the key flew through the air. It hit a greenhouse with a crash and broke the glass. “Oh no!” said the boys. “Look at my greenhouse!” yelled the man. “The glass is broken.” The boys ran away as fast as they could. “Just you come back here,” called the man. Kipper had to tell Biff and Chip that he had lost the magic key. “I think I lost it by the rocket,” he said, “but Mum wouldn’t let me look for it.” “Come on,” said Chip. ‘We must find it.” Wilf and Wilma helped them look for the lost key. Biff asked the man if he had seen it. “Yes,” said the man. “I threw it in that bin, but two boys took it out.” The childre n saw the two boys. They asked them if they had found the key. “Yes,” said the boys, “but we lost it again. We broke a man’s greenhouse with it.” The saw the man with the greenhouse. “We are sorry about the broken glass,” said Chip, “but could we have the key?” “Sorry,” said the man. “I sold the key to the junk shop to help pay for the glass.” The children went to the junk shop. They told the lady about the key and asked her if she had it. “Sorry,” said the lady. “I havejust sold it.” The lady told them who had it. “A man came in,” she said. “He wanted some old keys.” She told them that the man had a shop down the street. The children went to the man’s shop. In the window there were pictures and paintings. “Why do you think the man wants old keys?” asked Wilf. Wilma looked inside the shop. It was closed and she couldn’t see the man. ‘We must get our pocket money,” said Biff. “We may have to buy the key back.” “Let’s go home, then,” said Chip. Mum went to the shop with the children. She told the man about the key and how Kipper had lost it. She asked if they could have the key back. “Yes,” said the man. “If you can find it.” The man had painted some pictures and had put lots of keys in them. All the keys had been painted. The children looked at the pictures bu t they couldn’t see the magic key. They looked at all the pictures. “All the keys look the same,” said Biff. Suddenly Kipper saw a little picture. It had one key in it. “Here it is,” he said. “This is our key.” The man told them that they would have to buy the picture. Biff and Chip gave Mum their pocket money, and Mum paid the man. “It’s a lot to pay for an old key,” she said. The children pulled the key from the picture and rubbed off the paint. Then they looked at it. “The key has not glowed for a long time,” said Biff. “Perhaps it has lost its magic.” “It’s been out in the rain,” said Wilf, “and it’s been bent by a mower.” ‘It’s been through a window,” said Chip, “and it’s been stuck on a painting.” “It’s had a bad time,” said Wilma. The children wanted the key to glow. Wilma picked it up. “Do you think it will ever glow again?” she said. “Do you think the magic will still work?” “I don’t know,” said Biff. “I hope so.” But the key didn’t glow and the magic wouldn’t work. Kipper told the key about the adve ntures he would like to have. But still the magic wouldn’t work. The next day, Wilf and Wilma came to the house with Nadim and Anneena. The children were sorry about the key. It still wouldn’t glow and they were all very sad. “How can we make the magic work again?” asked Wilma. Anneena thought of a good idea. “Let’s remind it of the magic adventures,” she said. “Maybe that will make it work.” But the key still didn’t glow. At last the children gave up. Mum told Biff and Chip it was time for their friends to go home. “Cheer up,” said Mum. Kipper was sorry about the key. “It’s all my fault.” He said and he began to cry. “Don’t cry, Kipper,” said Chip. “Maybe the magic has just run out.” Biff and Chip let Kipper take the key to bed. Kipper looked at it for a lo ng time. At last he fell asleep. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow.7-5 The Willow Pattern PlotBiff and Chip were at a car boot sale. They saw Nadim. “Nadim! Over here!” called Biff. Nadim ran to see them. He had bought something at the sale. It was a biue and white plate. He showed it to Biff and Chip. “It’s present for my mum,” said Nadim. “It’s a willow pattern plate. My mum collects them.” “Why is it called a willow pattern plate?” asked Chip. “I don’t know,” said Nadim, “but I think the pattern tells a story.” “I wonder what the story is,” said Biff. Mum and Dad looked at Nadim’s plate. “It’s present for my mum,” said Nadim. Biff asked if Nadim could come and play. So Nadim went to play with Biff and Chip. The went up to Biff’s bedroom. “What shall we play?” asked Nadim. “I don’t know,” said Biff. Suddenly, the key began to glow. The magic took the children into a new adventure. “What’s happening?” called Nadim. “Help!” said Biff. “Everything is going blue!” “What a strange place!” said Chip. “What strange trees!” “Everything looks blue and white,” said Nadim. “We’re in the land of the willow pattern.” They were in a big garden. Ithad a high wall all round it and blue trees grew everywhere. “I can see water,” said Biff. “Is the garden next to the se a?’ “No, it’s next to a lake,” said Nadim. “There’s a bridge,” said Biff. “It’s like the one on the plate.” “I can see a little house down by the water,” said Chip. Down by the lake they saw a girl. She was all alone. “She looks unhappy,” said Biff. “Why i s she all alone and why is she crying?” The girl was called Kim Shee. She lived in the little house by the lake. She had a cruel father. He would not let her go out of the garden. Kim loved a boy called Chang. She wanted to marry him. But Chang was too poo r. Kim’s father wanted her to marry a rich man, but Kim loved Chang. Kim Shee heard Chang calling. “Kim Shee,” he called. “Are you alone?” “Chang!” said Kim. “How did you get here?” “I swam across the lake,” said Chang. “Nobody saw me.” “Oh!” said Kim. “You are cold and wet.” “It does not matter,” said Chang. But Kim Shee was afraid. “You must go away,” she said. “My father must not see you here.” “This garden is like a prison,” said Chang. “Your father never lets you go out.” “But what can we do?” asked Kim. “We must run away,” said Chang. “Then I can marry you.” “But how can I leave the garden?” everywhere.” “Don’t worry,” said Chang. “I will think of something.” Kim heard the sound of a twig snapping. “Someone is watching us!” she gasped. Chang jumped to his feet. He held up a stick. “Who is there?” he called. Then they saw Biff, Chip and Nadim. “Don’t be afraid,” said Biff. “We are friends.” “We have never seen children like you before,” gasped Chang. “How did you get into this garden?” “We didn’t mean to listen,” said Chip, “but we heard what you were saying.” “We know you want to run away,” said Biff. “But how can we?” asked Kim. “There are guards all round the garden.” Nadim had a good idea. He told them what it was. “It’s a brilliant idea!” said Chip. “I’m sure it will work,” said Biff. “But what if we are caught?” asked Chang. “Do you have a better idea?” asked Biff. “No,” said Chang. “It is our only chance.” “First, you must hid e,” said N adim. “Then, be ready to run over the bridge,” said chip. “Now we must get ready,” said Nadim. Kim had a long sash round her waist. “Give me your sash, Kim,” said Biff. Kim gave Biff her sash. Biff tied Kim’s sash to the bridge. There were lemon trees in the garden. Nadim and Chip climbed into one. They picked as many lemons as they could. Then they waited. Kim and Chang hid by the bridge. Biff held on to the end of the sash. “I hope Nadim’s idea works,” she thought. Nadim called from the tree. “Willow Pattern Plot-begin!” he said. Chip and Nadim began to shout at the g uards. “Come and get us!” they yelled. “We’re over here.” The guards ran into the garden. They ran towards Kim Shee’s little house. Now that the guards were in the garden, Kim Shee and Chang could escape. Someone else ran into the garden. “My father is coming!” gasped Kim Shee. Kim and Chang began to run, but the guards saw them. “Stop them!” shouted Kim Shee’s father. Nadim and Chip threw the lemons at the guards. Chang and Kim Shee ran over the bridge. The guards chased after them. Biff got ready. “I hope Kim’s sash is strong!” she said. The guards ran onto the bridge. Biff pulled the sash tight. The guards tripped over it. They fell over with a crash. “You fools!” shouted Kim Shee’s father. Chip and Nadim climbed down from the lemon tree. They ran across to find Biff. Kim Shee’s father saw them. “Catch those children,” he yelled. “Well done, Biff!” said Chip. “Kim and Chang have got away!” “I hope we get away, too,” said Biff. The magic key was glowing. “Hooray! It’s time to go!” she said. “What an adventure!” said Chip. Nadim picked up his plate and looked at it. “I wonder what happened in the real willow pattern story,” he said.7-6 Submarine AdventureWilf and Wilma had come to play at Biff and Chip’s house. It was Wilf’s birthday. “Happy birthday, Wilf,” said Biff and Chip. They gave him a big card. Wilf had a large box. “This is my birthday present,” he said. Everyone looked inside the box. “What is it?” asked Chip. “It looks like a submarine,” said Biff. “It’s a kind of submarine,” said Wilf. “It explores the sea bed.” “That’s right,” said Wilma. “It goes to the bottom of the sea.” “What a brilliant present!” said Biff. The submarine looked like a car. It had big windows and it had headlights. Wilf put the headlights on. “It’s brilliant,” said Chip. Bi ff looked at the magic key. Suddenly it began to glow. It was time for a new adventure. “I wonder where the key will take us,” said Wilf. The magic took the children to the sea, where there were lots of boats. Chip pointed to a yellow submarine. “Look at that one,” he said. “It looks just like Wilf’s submarine!” The children went to look at the submarine. “I wish we could look inside,” said Chip. Just then a hatch began to open and a man looked out. The man peered at them. “Hello!” he said. “I’m Professor Tangle.” “How do you do,” said Wilf. “My new crew?” said Professor Tangle. “You look a bit young.” “We’re not your new crew,” shouted Wilf. “How do you do!” Professor Tangle didn’t hear properly. He got things muddled up. “You know what to do?” he said. “That’s good! Get on board,” went on the Professor. “And tell me your names.” “I’m Biff,” said Biff, “and this is Wilma. This is Wilf, and this is Chip.” “No, it’s not a ship,” said the Professor. “It’s a diving machine.” “We know that,” said Wilf. “We’ve never been in one,” said Wilma, “and we’re not your new crew!” “You flew?” said Professor Tangle. “I didn’t see an aeroplane. Now shall we go?” Everyone smiled, and they all climbed into the submarine. Professor Tangle shut the hatch. ‘There’s not much room,”said Wilma. “No,” said Biff. “I hope it doesn’t leak.” “Of course you can speak,” said the Professor. Professor Tangle started the engines. “It’s time to dive,” he said. The submarine went under the water. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. Everyone looked out of the window. They could see fish everywhere. “It’s wonderful,” said Chip. “It’s amazing to be under the sea.” “You can’t see?” said Professor Tangle. “Look out of the window, then.” “Come on, crew!” said Professor Tangle. “Time to do some work. Push that button, Biff. Press that handle, Wilf. Pull that lever, Chip.” “We’re not the crew!” yelled Biff. “Things might go wrong.” “Sing a song?” said Professor Tangle. “There’s no time for that. There’s far too much to do.” The submarine began to dive. It went deeper and deeper. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. “Where are we heading?” shouted Chip. “Will we dive deep?” “No, you can’t go to sleep,” said Professor Tangle. “You’re the crew! You have to stay awake! We are going to dive deep.” “This thing scares me,” said Wilma. The submarine went deeper and deeper. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. Everyone looked out of the window. “I can see a shark!” said Wilma. “It is getting dark,” said the Professor. The submarine went even deeper. Professor Tangle was excited. It began to get dark. “It’s getting very dark,” said Biff. “Put the lights on, Professor.” The Professor pushed the light switch. ‘Bother! The lights don’t work,” he said. Biff looked out of the window. “Oh no! Help! Professor Tangle! I can see huge rocks,” she called. “No, I don’t need clean socks,” said the Professor. “Now, where’s that fuse?” He began to look for his tool box. “Look out!” yelled Chip. “We’re going to crash!” Professor tangle pushed a button and he pulled a lever. The submarine didn’t crash. It just missed the rocks. “Phew! That was close,” said Wilma. There was a cave ahead of them. The submarine was heading for it. “Slow down, Professor,” called Wilf. “We are heading for a cave in the rocks.” “Yes, it was in the box,” said the Professor. He held up the fuse. “Professor,。

The broken roof●It was games time at school.The children were outside on the field.Anneena ran up to Mrs May.'Come and see something, Mrs May,’ she said.●Someone had broken the fence down and dumped junk on the field.Wilf was cross.'We don't want junk on our field,' he said.'The field isn't a dump,' said Mrs May.●Then Mrs May saw something in the junk."Do you see this?’ she asked the children.It's a mangle.It gets the water out of wet clothes.'‘How does it do that?’ asked Anneena.●Mrs May took the mangle to the classroom.She showed the children how it worked.First she got a big sheet and made it wet.Then Nadim turned the handle and Biff helped Mrs May put the sheet through.●The water ran out of the sheet and went into a bucket.'We don't use mangles now to get clothes dry,' said Mrs May. 'What do we use?’●Mrs May showed the children a picture of someone washing clothes a long time ago.Mrs May asked the children if they had any old things at home. Some of the children said they had.●When Biff and Chip got home from school they looked at the little house.'The house looks very old,' said Chip, 'and so do these little children. Let's take them to school.●Kipper didn't want them to take the little house to school.'What about the magic?’ he asked Biff."The magic won't work if we don't take the key, said Biff.●Some of the children took old things to school."What a lot of things,' said Mrs May.'We can find out all about them and have a display.'●Mrs May liked the little house and so did all the children.Biff and Chip didn't say that the house was magic.That was a secret.●Wilf was being silly.He climbed on Mrs May's table and pushed some books over. The books fell on to the little house with a crash.'Oh no!' said Biff.●One of the books made a hole in the roof.Wilf was very upset when he saw that the roof was broken.‘'I'm sorry,' he said."Perhaps I can get my dad to mend it.’Biff and Chip took the house home.Kipper was cross when he saw it was broken.He had the magic key in his hand.Will the magic still work?' he asked.Just then the key began to glow.●A new adventure began.The magic took the children back in time.It took them back to their house a long time ago.The house looked new but the roof was broken.●There were three children playing outside and two men were mending the roof.‘Didn't our house look nice a long time ago?' said Biff.‘But how did the roof get broken?●The children saw Bif, Chip and Kipper，and ran up to them. 'Hello,' they said. 'Who are you?''I'm Biff,' said Biff.‘This is Chip, and this is Kipper.’●‘What funny names!' said the girl.'My name is Victoria, this is Edward, and this is Will.'"What funny clothes you have!' said Will.‘Not as funny as yours!' said Kipper.●Kipper looked up at the men on the roof.'How did the roof get broken?' he asked."We don't know,' said Edward.'It was broken when we woke up.’''That's funny,' said Kipper.●A lady came out and called to the children.' Go inside and wash your hands, 'she said. 'It's time for tea.’''Is that your mother?' Biff asked.'No,' said Edward. 'That's our cook.●The children went into the kitchen.The cook looked at Biff, Chip, and Kipper.‘May they stay to tea?' asked Victoria.'They have funny clothes,' said Cook, ‘but yes.’●Biff looked round the kitchen.'This is not like our kitchen,' she said.Cook looked at Chip's hands.'Go and wash your hands,' she said.'You can't have tea until you do.●After tea, Cook made the children wash their hands again. Then she told Edward to take some tea to the workmen.'Come and see our rooms, 'said Edward.●The broken roof was in Edward's room.'Is it mended yet?' he asked.'It won't be long now,' said the man.'Thanks for the tea.'●The children went into Victoria's room.Victoria had a little room in her bedroom.It was the one Biff had.'We keep toys in here,' said Victoria. "Come and look.’●Biff, Chip, and Kipper looked at the children's toys.Chip loved the rocking horse.'I wish we add horse like this,' he said.'So do I,' said Biff.●Victoria took Biff, Chip, and Kipper into the little room."'Come and see this,' she said."What is it?' asked Kipper.●Victoria showed them a little house. She told them that her father was making it for them.‘It will look like this house,' she said.' We know,' said Biff.●Edward looked at Chip's watch and Chip looked at Edward's boat..‘Do you want to swap? 'asked Edward.'Yes, please,' said Chip, 'then I can take the boat to school to show Mrs May.'●Suddenly, the magic key began to glow.'It's time to go,' said Kipper, "but I don't want to.'"Will you come back? 'asked Edward."We don't know, said Biff.'Maybe.’●The magic took the children home.They looked at the little house.'The broken roof has been mended, said Biff.'How did that happen?I don't know, said Chip, 'maybe Dad mended it.'‘ I think the workmen in the adventure did it,' said Kipper.'We saw them.'' I think it was magic,' said Biff.●'I liked that adventure best of all,' said Biff.'I liked those children long ago.'‘ I'd like to go back and see them again.’''Me, too,' said Chip, looking at the boat.'Maybe I could get my watch back!'。

一、引言信息技术的不断发展，推动了教育学的变革，《教育信息化十年发展规划（2011—2020年）》强调要促进教育信息化，以教育信息化带动教育现代化，促进优质资源普及共享。

[1]数字技术渗透到教学的方方面面，其中数字化阅读为学生打造了一个超越时空的阅读空间，海量资源存在于小小屏幕，充分满足了个人需求，实现了共性与个性的平衡存在。

杨现民等[2]总结出数字化教育具有高效、开放、灵活等特点，是一种利用计算机、网络通信等信息技术来开展教学活动的创新型教育方式，泛在学习、移动学习、网络学习、在线学习等方式如雨后春笋般出现在教学模式中。

数字化学习改变了学生的学习方式，也改变了教师的教育方式，同样在数字化背景下，数字化阅读的接触率也在持续上升。

根据2021年4月发布的《第十八次全国国民阅读调查成果》显示，2020年我国成年人图书馆阅读率为59.5%，数字化阅读方式接触率为79.4%，较2019年增长0.1%，其中71.5%成年人选择网络在线阅读，在电子阅读器中的阅读增长了2.4%。

[3]每位读者处在不一样的发展阶段，有着不同的阅读能力和阅读兴趣，为提高阅读效果，学校、教师应该帮助学生找到适合他们的阅读书目。

分级阅读是根据读者的年龄特征、兴趣爱好、阅读能力和接受水平等，为学生针对性地推荐与其相适应书籍的一种阅读方式。

不同年龄阶段学生的阅读能力和阅读水平是不一样的，同一年龄阶段学生的接受能力和阅读水平也是参差不齐的，因此不能“一刀切”地规定一个年龄阶段的学生读同样的书。

此外，随着阅读心理学研究的不断深入，使阅读教学在学校教育中的重要性得以体现，因此分级阅读越来越受到研究者的关注。

数字化背景下小学阅读教学优化路径研究摘要：当前阅读教学在小学课程中的比例越来越大。

阅读有利于学生树立正确的价值观、提高素质，而正确的阅读方法和阅读书目的选择是阅读高效进行的有力保障。

文章以数字化背景下的蓝思分级阅读平台为例，概述了数字化分级阅读的发展及优势，介绍了具体实践案例，并从连贯的阅读教学角度提出：学校提供充足阅读资源，开设阅读特色班级；教师充分利用资源，进行因势利导；家长进行亲子阅读，注重家风建设等建议，以期能够抛砖引玉，为数字化分级阅读的研究提供帮助，为小学阅读教学提供建议。

典范英语7和牛津树对照表The field of English language education has seen the emergence of various teaching materials and resources, each claiming to provide the most effective and comprehensive approach to language learning. Two such resources that have gained significant attention are Exemplar English 7 and the Oxford Tree. In this essay, we will explore the key similarities and differences between these two language learning tools, aiming to provide a comprehensive comparison to help educators and learners make informed decisions.Exemplar English 7 is a comprehensive English language learning program developed by a team of experienced educators and language experts. The program is designed to cater to the needs of students from primary to secondary levels, offering a structured and progressive curriculum that covers various aspects of the English language, including grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking. The program's strength lies in its focus on practical language skills, enabling students to effectively communicate in real-world situations.On the other hand, the Oxford Tree is a renowned series of English language learning resources published by the prestigious Oxford University Press. The Oxford Tree is a comprehensive program that encompasses a wide range of materials, including textbooks, workbooks, digital resources, and supplementary materials. The program is renowned for its strong emphasis on developing language proficiency through a balanced approach, integrating grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and communication skills.One of the key similarities between Exemplar English 7 and the Oxford Tree is their commitment to providing a well-structured and progressive curriculum. Both programs are designed to guide students through a systematic learning journey, with each level building upon the previous one and gradually increasing in complexity. This approach ensures that learners can develop a strong foundation in the English language and progress at a pace that is suitable for their individual needs.Another area of similarity is the emphasis on practical language skills. Both Exemplar English 7 and the Oxford Tree prioritize the development of communicative competence, equipping students with the necessary skills to engage in real-life conversations and effectively express themselves in various contexts. This focus on practical application sets these programs apart from more traditional language learning approaches that may prioritize theoreticalknowledge over practical skills.However, there are also notable differences between the two resources. One key distinction is the level of customization and flexibility offered. Exemplar English 7 is a more standardized program with a fixed curriculum, allowing for a consistent learning experience across different schools and regions. In contrast, the Oxford Tree provides a more flexible and adaptable framework, enabling educators to tailor the materials to suit the specific needs and preferences of their students and educational contexts.Another difference lies in the range of supplementary resources and digital offerings. The Oxford Tree is known for its extensive range of digital resources, including interactive exercises, multimedia content, and online assessment tools. These digital components are designed to enhance the learning experience and provide additional support for students. Exemplar English 7, while not lacking in supplementary materials, may not offer the same level of digital integration and technological integration as the Oxford Tree.In terms of pedagogical approaches, both Exemplar English 7 and the Oxford Tree incorporate a blend of traditional and modern teaching methodologies. Exemplar English 7 is known for its emphasis on structured grammar instruction and systematic language development, while the Oxford Tree places a greateremphasis on communicative language teaching and the integration of language skills.Ultimately, the choice between Exemplar English 7 and the Oxford Tree depends on the specific needs and preferences of the educational institution, the teaching staff, and the learners themselves. Both programs offer high-quality language learning resources and have their own unique strengths and features. Educators and learners should carefully evaluate the alignment between the program's approach and their own educational goals, learning styles, and contextual requirements before making a decision.In conclusion, the comparison of Exemplar English 7 and the Oxford Tree highlights the diversity and richness of the English language learning landscape. Both resources offer compelling approaches to language education, catering to the diverse needs of students and educators. By understanding the similarities and differences between these two programs, educational stakeholders can make informed choices that best support the language learning journey of their students.。
