英美报刊选读
一、教学目的
通过本课程的学习,使学员对英美报刊有一个清晰的了解,认识英美报刊语言、文体、词汇、语法等基本特点,掌握英美报刊阅读的基本知识及技巧,为独立阅读英美报刊打下良好的基础;
二、教材特点
与该课程旧教材第1版相比,本教材具有以下特点：
1．为使学生改变以往依赖教师和英汉词典的学习习惯,培养他们独自排解疑难词语的能力,编者不但向他们推荐工具书,并教授他们使用方法；为使他们能加深对词汇的记忆,还介绍词法和重要词根及词缀;
2．为使学生掌握必要的新闻词语和扩大词汇量,本书在“新闻词语解说”中尽量结合课文,讲透疑难词语;此外还列出一些与这些词语或课文内容有关的课外词汇;
3．为使学生掌握必要的读报知识,本书在“背景知识”中尽量结合课文,介绍重要的并时常见诸报端的人物、党派和组织机构等,并举例说明其重要性;
4．为使学生对新闻写作有一个大致的认识,加深对课文的理解,编者较系统地说明标题的若干特点,对新闻体裁的分类、导语和写作特点及常语等做了简介;
三、教学内容
英美报刊选读为省开课程;
1．授课内容：重点为第1、3、4、5、6、8、13、15、17、19、20、21、24、28、30课共15课,其它内容主要供自学;
2．课时安排：
a 学员自学：2学时/周,共30学时学完15课;
b 面授辅导：4学时/次,共4次;每学时辅导一课,最后一学时复习;
3．作业：共四次,在湖北电大网站英语本科网页上下载,课后完成,交辅导教师批改,评分,作为平时成绩的主要依据;学员完成作业后,可浏览网页上的“答案及详解”,以加深理解,检查自己掌握的情况 四、教学建议
教师授课时应以学生为中心,鼓励学生自己去探索和获取知识;在上课时,可要求学生先回答每课后的练习题—— Questions,使他们基本了解课文的主要内容;然后,再逐段或跳跃式选段对学生需要掌握的内容、新闻词语和背景知识进行阅读和问答式方式讲解;如果备课充分,学生的英语水平又高,教员可采用美英教员教授母语的方法,抛开课本或讲义,只讲有关课文的重点词语、背景知识和写作手法等;这样,学生除预习外,课后还要结合教员在课堂上所讲的内容好好复习课文;这两种授课方式的好处是,使学生通过自学指预习和教师的指导,自己主动去掌握知识;与以教员为中心的灌输式教学方式相比,学生更能巩固所学,并使他们今后更能发挥学习潜能;此外,这也使有的教员摆脱了那种课文注释那么详细而觉得在课堂上没有多少可讲的被动地位和局面;当然,这只是本人的实践和看法;我相信在调动学生主动学习的积极性方面还有更多、更好的教学法;

Army Study of Iraq War Details a 'Morass' of Supply
Shortages by Eric Schmitt
陆军研究伊拉克战争的细节的泥沼供应短缺
埃里克·施密特
The first official Army history of the Iraq war reveals that
American forces were plagued by a "morass" of supply shortages,
radios that could not reach far-flung troops, disappointing
psychological operations and virtually no reliable intelligence on
how Saddam Hussein would defend Baghdad.
第一次伊拉克战争的正式军队的历史表明，美国军队被困扰的“泥潭”的供应短缺，收音机无法到达遥远的部队，令人失望的心理作战，几乎没有可靠的情报关于萨达姆·侯赛因将如何保卫巴格达的。
Logistics problems, which senior Army officials played down
at the time, were much worse than have previously been reported.
While the study serves mainly as a technical examination of how
the Army performed and the problems it faced, it could also
serve as a political document that could advance the Army's
