2b課文原文:
How Can You Become a Successful learner?
Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well
depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some
good habits in common.
如何成为一个成功的学习者？
每个人都生来就有学习的能力。但是，你能否做好这个取决于你的学习习惯。研究表明，成功的学习者有一些共同的好习惯。
Creating an interest in what they learn
对所学的東西创造兴趣
Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it
is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often
connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example,
if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English
songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.

“Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint , and with infinite
precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field .
At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down
my brush in a panic . I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from
the car: the wife of Sir John Lavery , the celebrated painter who lived
nearby.
“’Painting!’she declared,’What fun. But what are you waiting for?
Let me have the brush---the big one.’ She plunged into the paints and
before I knew it , she had swept several fierce stokes and slashes of blue
on the absolutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back.
I hesitated no more. I seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched
victim with wild fury. I have never felt any fear of a canvas since.”
他日后回忆道：“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料，然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。就在这时，我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音，于是惊恐地丢下我的画笔。当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时，更是惊慌失措。来者正是住在附近的着名画家约翰?莱佛利爵士的妻子。
Unit 1 Love of reading
Text A One Writer's Beginnings
1 I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of
day, was there to read in, or to be read to. My mother read to me. She'd read to me in the
big bedroom in the mornings, when we were in her rocker together, which ticked in
rhythm as we rocked, as though we had a cricket accompanying the story. She'd read to
me in the dining room on winter afternoons in front of the coal fire, with our cuckoo
clock ending the story with "Cuckoo", and at night when I'd got in my own bed. I must
have given her no peace. Sometimes she read to me in the kitchen while she sat churning,
and the churning sobbed along with any story. It was my ambition to have her read to me
while I churned; once she granted my wish, but she read off my story before I brought her
