2013 – 2014學(xué)年英語(yǔ)外事管理系2013級(jí)大一英語(yǔ)泛讀寒假作業(yè)

Directions: translate the following four passages into Chinese, and find out the topicand draw the main idea of each passage in English.Passage One

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed.As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future.They might cover five years or more.Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.Passage Two

Now let us look at how we read.When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement.We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate.Each time they fixate, we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span.The length of time for which the eyes stop — the duration of the fixation — varies considerably from person to person.It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page.As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation.All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words.Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.Passage Three

As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: unemployment is still

more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero.That’s bad for the economy, of course.And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now.But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data.After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations, and retirements.(Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does.Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still humming along, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!

And as it turns out, even today — with job growth near zero — over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job.It’s true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for).And it’s true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated.They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers;and keep going, even after repeated rejections.The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.Passage Four

It’s an annual argument.Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off and we have no savings to save us.I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday.The joy of a recession means no argument next year — we just won’t go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful.For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday A YouGov poll of 2, 000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money.What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession — financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable.A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Disputes were characterized by intense verbal aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved and made men, more than women, extremely angry.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women.“People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for.” he explains.“They’ll say it’s to save to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t.There seems to be more of a taboo about talking about money than about death.But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately.In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

第三篇：淺談?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)泛讀

淺談?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)泛讀

中學(xué)英語(yǔ)教科書(shū)服務(wù)大綱所規(guī)定的教學(xué)目的就是提供給師生重要的教學(xué)材料。教材的組成是：聽(tīng)力訓(xùn)練、學(xué)生課本、閱讀訓(xùn)練及練習(xí)冊(cè)。套教材設(shè)計(jì)，其實(shí)是通過(guò)泛讀、精讀、聽(tīng)力的各項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練中來(lái)判別的，來(lái)培養(yǎng)學(xué)生聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)、譯等各項(xiàng)方面的綜合性能力，用來(lái)發(fā)展學(xué)生英語(yǔ)交際能力，加快學(xué)生的閱讀速度。閱讀又可分為精讀、泛讀和快速閱讀，因此，學(xué)生課本以及學(xué)生用書(shū)都是精讀課本，閱讀訓(xùn)練屬泛讀內(nèi)容。泛讀和精讀是和教學(xué)在高中英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中相輔相成的，聽(tīng)力訓(xùn)練和閱讀訓(xùn)練是一個(gè)有機(jī)整體，重視高中英語(yǔ)泛讀教學(xué)是英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的內(nèi)在要求。

一、英語(yǔ)泛讀缺位的原因

《高中英語(yǔ)課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》中講到：“除教材之外，課外閱讀量六級(jí)達(dá)到20萬(wàn)以上，七級(jí)要達(dá)到30萬(wàn)以上，八級(jí)要達(dá)到36萬(wàn)以上。”從這一要求當(dāng)中我們就可以看出泛讀教學(xué)的重要性。平時(shí)加強(qiáng)泛讀教學(xué)能激發(fā)學(xué)生閱讀的興趣，增加他們的知識(shí)面，擴(kuò)大他們的眼界，培養(yǎng)他們的閱讀技巧和策略，為高考英語(yǔ)速度和質(zhì)量做了一個(gè)很好的鋪墊。既然泛讀教學(xué)如此重要，那為什么高中英語(yǔ)泛讀教學(xué)會(huì)存在缺位現(xiàn)象呢？究其原因有如下幾點(diǎn)：

1.教師認(rèn)識(shí)不到位，學(xué)校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)重視不夠，教學(xué)管理部門(mén)監(jiān)管缺失，學(xué)生課業(yè)負(fù)擔(dān)重等方面原因同時(shí)存在。具體表現(xiàn)為：學(xué)校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)沒(méi)有重視泛讀科目；教師精、泛讀之間的關(guān)系及泛讀教學(xué)對(duì)學(xué)生英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)影響也沒(méi)有很強(qiáng)的意識(shí)；教學(xué)的管理部門(mén)不能提供政策上的引導(dǎo)與督促；學(xué)生會(huì)忽視泛讀學(xué)習(xí)，是因?yàn)槠诘膽?yīng)付各 種練習(xí)題、模擬題,而課業(yè)的負(fù)擔(dān)也很重。

2.有的教師雖然也提倡課外閱讀，同時(shí)也會(huì)布置相關(guān)任務(wù)（如概括中心思想或?qū)懫牡皿w會(huì)），但由于布置的任務(wù)跟作文相似，批起來(lái)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)任務(wù)繁重，并且手頭要忙的作業(yè)太多，無(wú)法顧及每個(gè)學(xué)生特殊的情況。同時(shí)也缺乏有序的組織和有效地監(jiān)督，所以久而久之即使布置也如形同虛設(shè)。

3.從學(xué)生角度講，他們由于應(yīng)付各科作業(yè)，背誦已經(jīng)花很多時(shí)間，盡管對(duì)有些跟他們生活息息相關(guān)的文章感興趣，但由于要完成很多作業(yè)而無(wú)法自作主張。

4.有些學(xué)生雖然有這種擴(kuò)大閱讀量的意識(shí)，在實(shí)踐中卻又無(wú)法堅(jiān)持，經(jīng)常是“三天打魚(yú)，兩天曬網(wǎng)”，有始無(wú)終，缺乏計(jì)劃性和長(zhǎng)期性。這樣導(dǎo)致很多學(xué)生無(wú)法接觸到大量的英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的信息和背景知識(shí)，使學(xué)生又處于知識(shí)面狹窄的狀況，這樣又影響了他們閱讀能力的提高。

5.還有的學(xué)生不要說(shuō)不進(jìn)行泛讀訓(xùn)練，即使在平時(shí)做的閱讀理解 中也采取劃答案找答案的做題規(guī)律，根本不重視篇章的理解和文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，常常在選標(biāo)題時(shí)以文章中的例子為標(biāo)題。因?yàn)槠綍r(shí)老師在做閱讀理解時(shí)總是有過(guò)多的講解，分析孤立的詞匯與結(jié)構(gòu)，學(xué)生也養(yǎng)成了不動(dòng)腦經(jīng)，不發(fā)揮聯(lián)想的主動(dòng)的創(chuàng)造性思維的能力。久而久之，學(xué)生把閱讀看成是一件極其痛苦的事，為了做好閱讀理解而閱讀，根本領(lǐng)悟不到語(yǔ)言的美感，不能豐富大腦，不能從中獲得教訓(xùn)或者是一個(gè)深刻的道理，達(dá)不成共鳴。

二、高中英語(yǔ)泛讀教學(xué)的應(yīng)對(duì)策略

英國(guó)學(xué)者弗蘭克斯·格雷利特（Francoise Grellet）認(rèn)為：“泛讀是一種熟練活動(dòng)，主要是解決對(duì)文章的綜合理解問(wèn)題。進(jìn)行泛讀訓(xùn)練時(shí)，首先應(yīng)該從綜合理解開(kāi)始，然后再向詳細(xì)理解過(guò)渡。要求學(xué)生完成的任務(wù)應(yīng)該是綜合理解性的。同時(shí)，設(shè)計(jì)閱讀理解練習(xí)也應(yīng)該是從對(duì)選文整體理解開(kāi)始，而不是詞匯或較具體的內(nèi)容。” 高中的英語(yǔ)教師，應(yīng)當(dāng)在教學(xué)實(shí)踐中努力開(kāi)展好泛讀教學(xué)。所以，怎樣進(jìn)行有效的泛讀訓(xùn)練，筆者認(rèn)為可以從以下幾點(diǎn)入手：

1.立足于教材，上好每一堂整體教學(xué)課，充分把每個(gè)模塊的Reading先整體教學(xué)，在整體教學(xué)的過(guò)程中同時(shí)擴(kuò)充其他泛讀材料進(jìn)行有效地訓(xùn)練。

如在教M6U4Reading“The UN------bringing everyone closer together”時(shí)，在學(xué)生回答了幾個(gè)問(wèn)題之后，我們就趁熱打鐵讓學(xué)生把這篇文章分成四段，同時(shí)請(qǐng)同學(xué)告知每一段的節(jié)數(shù)，并寫(xiě)上段落大意。接下來(lái)請(qǐng)學(xué)生回答兩個(gè)體現(xiàn)有概括性能力的問(wèn)題，即：“Why does the author choose the title ‘The UN------bringing everyone closer together?’ Can you find some examples from the text?”和“What does the author feel about being a Goodwill Ambassador and what is her attitude towards wars and conflicts in the world?”緊接著引出這篇文章的Reading strateg，提問(wèn)學(xué)生本文的作者的態(tài)度是favorable 還是unfavorable的，并且請(qǐng)學(xué)生們找出相關(guān)的句子和關(guān)鍵詞來(lái)證明自己的觀點(diǎn)。講到這里我們趁熱打鐵，給出一些相關(guān)的高考題訓(xùn)練，如：Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.(2012陜西高考閱讀理解D)Q：The author’s attitude towards strange styles in the workplace may best be described as ____B___.A.enthusiastic B.negative C.positive D.sympathetic 如果每個(gè)單元的課文能這樣結(jié)合的話，學(xué)生在閱讀技巧上肯定會(huì)日積月累，總有一天會(huì)有所突破的。

第二，給學(xué)生們的閱讀材料要時(shí)代性的文章或者是能讓學(xué)生看了一眼就能感興趣的文章，也就是說(shuō)與他們的生活息息相關(guān)的文章。筆者認(rèn)為尤其是高一時(shí)一定要選生詞不超過(guò)2%的文章，最好是與課文類(lèi)似的，平時(shí)閱讀理解完形填空中做過(guò)的文章，用這種泛讀材料一可以讓學(xué)生產(chǎn)生近距離感，二可以鞏固已學(xué)知識(shí)，三可以簡(jiǎn)單講評(píng)，只要求學(xué)生歸納出中心思想或劃出主題句即可。

泛讀課在中學(xué)階段無(wú)法順利開(kāi)展的主要原因之一在于學(xué)校沒(méi)有統(tǒng)一的泛讀材料。如果教師只是口頭強(qiáng)調(diào)增加閱讀量的必要性，而不檢測(cè)學(xué)生的閱讀進(jìn)展及效果，那么閱讀效率永遠(yuǎn)得不到提高。在此步驟中，執(zhí)教者借助統(tǒng)一征訂的某一期報(bào)紙，通過(guò)搶答題與必答題的形式檢測(cè)學(xué)生是否閱讀以及閱讀的效果。以上七道搶答題設(shè)置得比較簡(jiǎn)單，主要以擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的知識(shí)面以及激發(fā)學(xué)生的閱讀興趣為目的。五道必答題是在搶答題的基礎(chǔ)上，適當(dāng)增加閱讀的難度，主要是針對(duì)閱讀文章的整體理解，旨在檢測(cè)學(xué)生是 否讀懂文章，是否理解文章大意，并不要求達(dá)到細(xì)節(jié)理解等深層次理解的程度。

Step 2 : Reading ability training(While-reading)本步驟主要由四個(gè)部分主成：

Training 1: Fast reading and guessing words 快速閱讀——訓(xùn)練猜詞能力，訓(xùn)練材料是與報(bào)紙第五版面相關(guān)的世博會(huì)話題。

Training 2: Words and expressions 詞匯講解——主要講解文章中出現(xiàn)的生詞及其 詞綴以及沒(méi)有任何生詞但無(wú)法理解的習(xí)語(yǔ)。

Training 3: Difficult sentences 難句理解——處理影響學(xué)生對(duì)文章理解的難 句，難點(diǎn)在于虛擬語(yǔ)氣。Training 4: Theme or opinion 總結(jié)歸納——訓(xùn)練學(xué)生尋找主題句、提煉觀點(diǎn)句的能力。

本步驟目的：在閱讀技能方面主要訓(xùn)練學(xué)生快速閱讀、猜詞以及理解文章主旨大意的能力。在詞匯方面主要掃清生詞和難句的障礙，擴(kuò)大詞匯量。

訓(xùn)練策略：詞綴閃卡、猜測(cè)習(xí)語(yǔ)在語(yǔ)境中的意思、提問(wèn)解答。本步驟時(shí)長(zhǎng)：25分鐘。

Step 3: Ability application(Post-reading)本步驟目的：即學(xué)即用，讓學(xué)生在做中學(xué)。檢測(cè)手段：高考閱讀理解一篇、迷你辯論。本步驟時(shí)長(zhǎng)：15分鐘左右。執(zhí)教者要求學(xué)生在六分鐘內(nèi)完成一篇2003年上海高考英語(yǔ)試卷閱讀理解C篇，這是一篇議論文，是關(guān)于考試體系要保護(hù)還是廢除的討論。執(zhí)教者經(jīng)過(guò)略微修改，降低了三道選擇題的難度。這三道選擇題 分別檢測(cè)了猜詞、作者觀點(diǎn)及文章主旨三個(gè)方面，考查學(xué)生對(duì)本節(jié)課訓(xùn)練的這三個(gè)技能的掌握程度。執(zhí)教者指導(dǎo)學(xué)生先獨(dú)立思考，然后再小組討論。

第三，制定明確具體的泛讀計(jì)劃。泛讀是提高學(xué)生閱讀理解能力的主渠道。只有通過(guò)系統(tǒng)的、嚴(yán)格的閱讀訓(xùn)練，才能使學(xué)生掌握正確的閱讀方法和形成基本的閱讀技能，加快閱讀速度，擴(kuò)大閱讀量，提升語(yǔ)感。筆者認(rèn)為從高一開(kāi)始每周就可開(kāi)設(shè)一節(jié)泛讀課。假如每節(jié)泛讀課讀3-4篇300-400 字的文章，按每學(xué)期18周計(jì)算，一期可讀70篇，高中三年累計(jì)可泛讀300篇左右，其閱讀量可達(dá)12萬(wàn)字左右，是中學(xué)六年教科書(shū)詞匯總量的兩倍。同時(shí)，泛讀教學(xué)除了時(shí)間的安排要納入計(jì)劃外，我們也要規(guī)定 教學(xué)指標(biāo)，如對(duì)閱讀速度、閱讀技巧等項(xiàng)目要做出具體的安排。

泛讀的任務(wù)在于著重提高學(xué)生的閱讀理解能力；培養(yǎng)細(xì)致觀察以及假設(shè)、判斷、分析、歸納、推理論證等邏輯思維能力；培養(yǎng)速讀能力以及閱讀的興趣，擴(kuò)大詞匯量，拓展文化背景知識(shí)。從用途上看，泛讀的實(shí)用性最廣。在實(shí)際生活里，80%?90%的閱讀方式都是泛讀。目前的英語(yǔ)閱讀教學(xué)主要是整體閱讀教學(xué)模式，而此種模式是建立在圖式理論（Schema Theory)的基礎(chǔ)上，其核心思想是理解新知識(shí)時(shí)，總是將新知識(shí)與已有的知識(shí)聯(lián)系起來(lái)。顯然，與話題有關(guān)的原有知識(shí)越多，閱讀理解的難度就會(huì)越小。

第四，循序漸進(jìn)方法靈活。泛讀教學(xué)可分為課內(nèi)閱讀與課外閱讀，首先在教 師指導(dǎo)下實(shí)施課內(nèi)閱讀，再擴(kuò)大到課外閱讀。泛讀教學(xué)應(yīng)從高一到高三不間斷，教師可分三個(gè)階段進(jìn)行：

1．高一年級(jí)階段

這一階段，學(xué)生剛從初中進(jìn)入高中，教師應(yīng)注意初、高中英語(yǔ)知識(shí)的銜接，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生把精讀課中學(xué)生所學(xué)知識(shí)運(yùn)用到泛讀課上，向?qū)W生介紹閱讀技巧，利用閱讀教材中的限時(shí)閱讀材料加強(qiáng)學(xué)生閱讀速度訓(xùn)練，同時(shí)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生良好的閱讀習(xí)慣，適當(dāng)?shù)剡M(jìn)行口、筆頭語(yǔ)言輸出，主要以回答問(wèn)題、角色扮演、轉(zhuǎn)換角色、講述、改寫(xiě)、縮寫(xiě)、續(xù)寫(xiě)課文等形式練習(xí)。教師的訓(xùn)練方法應(yīng)得當(dāng)，形式應(yīng)靈活多樣，教師可采取閱讀前活動(dòng)、閱讀中活動(dòng)、閱讀后活動(dòng)；根據(jù)閱讀材料的類(lèi)型運(yùn)用串講法、問(wèn)題法、討論法、默讀記時(shí)法等形式吸引學(xué)生參與，活躍課堂氣氛，增加師生互動(dòng)的機(jī)會(huì)，從而有利于學(xué)生理解詞、句子和語(yǔ)篇，激發(fā)學(xué)生的閱讀興趣與信心。

2．高二年級(jí)階段 學(xué)生經(jīng)過(guò)一年的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)與訓(xùn)練，詞匯量大大增加，掌握了一些閱讀技能，閱讀速度比以前加快了，基本上養(yǎng)成了一些較好的閱讀習(xí)慣，有了一定的閱讀興趣，但仍然需要教師的指導(dǎo)，這一階段還要進(jìn)一步加大閱讀量，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生閱讀《英語(yǔ)周報(bào)》、《21世紀(jì)報(bào)》等中級(jí)層次的英文報(bào)刊，并逐漸增加不同題材、不同體裁的命題話題、命題作文的練習(xí)。

3．高三年級(jí)階段

學(xué)生經(jīng)過(guò)兩年的學(xué)習(xí)，詞匯量加大，閱讀速度大大加快，教師應(yīng)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生進(jìn)一步加大課外閱讀，同時(shí)，繼續(xù)加大命題話題、命題作文的練習(xí)，逐步加大訓(xùn)練 的難度強(qiáng)度。引導(dǎo)學(xué)生的閱讀材料從《英語(yǔ)周報(bào)》、《英語(yǔ)畫(huà)刊》等以課程練習(xí)為主的英語(yǔ)報(bào)刊雜志，到《英語(yǔ)沙龍》、《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》等高信息量的閱讀材料。

第五，選取適當(dāng)?shù)牟牧希⒁夥椒ㄓ鹤x材料選擇相當(dāng)重要。教師為學(xué)生選定泛讀材料要具有足夠的語(yǔ)言輸人量，要具有思想性、時(shí)代感、知識(shí)性、真實(shí)性，具有可理解性，要題材廣泛、體裁多樣。泛讀要注意方法，急于求成行不通，要循序漸進(jìn)，方法單一效果難有保證，要靈活安排。方法的選擇要根據(jù)具體情況區(qū)別對(duì)待。如對(duì)待不同的年級(jí)、不同的學(xué)生，要采取的方法也應(yīng)有所差別，同樣的學(xué)生在閱讀不同類(lèi)型的文章時(shí)，也要有所差別。

每天上課給學(xué)生一篇較短的泛讀材料讓他們限時(shí)閱讀，讀完后回答出大意即可。這樣慢慢地就能培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀速度和提高他們對(duì)把握整體的敏感度。除了回答中心思想，也可以采取復(fù)述，改寫(xiě)，縮寫(xiě)，續(xù)寫(xiě)等形式練習(xí)。如果能堅(jiān)持一個(gè)星期寫(xiě)一篇文章的話，作文也相應(yīng)得到了訓(xùn)練，對(duì)作文的提高也有著舉足輕重的作用。還有一些學(xué)生有增加閱讀量的意識(shí)，由于沒(méi)有很好地計(jì)劃性和長(zhǎng)期性，所以經(jīng)常有始無(wú)終。對(duì)于這些學(xué)生，筆者往往采取課后定期輔導(dǎo)，鼓勵(lì)他們的同時(shí)給他們一個(gè)督促的作用，使他們能持之以恒而達(dá)到一個(gè)比較理想的效果。

不管是從理論中還是從實(shí)踐中來(lái)講，泛讀課其實(shí)是高中英語(yǔ)教學(xué)絕對(duì)不能缺少的一部分，開(kāi)設(shè)泛讀課在高中英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中最基本的，也是絕對(duì)可以執(zhí)行的。筆者認(rèn)為，只要教師意識(shí)到泛讀教學(xué)缺位帶來(lái)的負(fù)面影響，更新觀念，認(rèn)識(shí)到位，措施得力，通過(guò)在教學(xué)中增加泛讀教學(xué)，加大英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言輸入量，持之以恒地不斷進(jìn)行泛讀教學(xué)，必然會(huì)逐漸改變英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中長(zhǎng)期形成的“耗時(shí)低效”狀況，起到事半功倍的效果。

Reading report10商務(wù)英語(yǔ)一班陳勝萍1040104127

Walden

Recently, I read a book named Walden.It took me some time to read through it.Most important, I learnt a lot from the beautiful language and the life attitude of the author, Thoreau.This is a book which tells in spring, Thoreau started building a cabin in the woods, thinking about life, reading some books, and listening to the sound of nature.In autumn, he planted beans, observed Walden Pond.In winter, the Walden Pond was frozen, and lots of animals accompanied with him.As spring's coming, the Walden and other ponds melted.Then everything in nature was awake and reborn including Thoreau.Thoreau first wrote that most people pursuit their necessary things of life such as fashionable clothes, houses and equipment.They pursuit these things while Thoreau went to the woods to build a cabin which only cost $28.12, eating simple food and needing little furniture.I still remember one of chapters in his book, Higher Law, emphasized more on the spiritual aspect, instead of the

satisfaction of material.Besides, he urged people to read more classic literature.For example, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and other great writers’ masterpieces.More over, he wrote that though he lived alone in the woods, he was close to nature and made himself as a part of nature.He lived alone, but sometimes he also talked with his visitors who are honest, sincere, and thinkable, including those people who love their lives.Thoreau also mentioned that the noise in the town and the whistle of train disturbed the quite life of the town.However, in the woods, life is quite.When he lived in the woods, he listened to animals' sounds such as bird's singing, owl’s hooting, cockerel’s crowing and so on.He lived with animals friendly.He also described the Walden Pond.The water, blue and green, clear and pure, froze in winter and melted in spring.When I was reading Walden, I felt that a kind of profound thinking of life hid behind the beautiful words of Thoreau, providing much food for thought.Walden

The words and phrases about the nature especially the Walden Pond were beautiful and fascinating.The sentences were full of wisdom and philosophy.When reading this book, it reminded me of those people who work day and night to earn money, wasted a lot of money to buy luxury and expensive things, wasted much time to entertain themselves.For my part, they might easily lose themselves.Though their materials were full, their minds are hungry.As far as I am concerned, the real life is to make every complicated thing to be simple and enrich our thoughts and soul.General speaking, simplicity can make our soul and bodies more comfortable and free.Material is just the skin;inside world is the most significant.As for me, many people who around me think I

should buy some beautiful clothes and dress up.However, I think my life is good.One more thing I want to say is that people did not understand him when

Thoreau lived alone in the woods, even Emerson thought what he did was wrong.But I think Thoreau’s life was successful, meaningful and happy, so do I.The life attitude of Thoreau really grips me deeply.Because I think that the success and happiness of life all come from exactly value.Everyone deeply desires of

themselves life.When you know what the value of yourself is, meanwhile you can enjoy your life according to the value every time.You will find that everyday you have full of energy and enthusiasm to do anything, hear the sure sound from your heart, and often feel intense achievement.The most important is that your heart is peace and calm.You are happy ever day.In the last place, I envy Thoreau so much for he lived in such a beautiful and comfortable nature environment.He breathed the fresh air, lived with wild with animals friendly;appreciated the scenery of Walden Pond and so on.While in modern society, people pursuit their own interests to hunt and kill animals, cut down trees and pollute the rivers and so on.As a result, the number of wildlife is decreasing dramatically, the area of lakes is shrinking, and the water is not pure any more.The environmental problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution have been becoming increasingly serious.When it

Walden

comes to environment problems, I will remind of the beautiful scenery Thoreau described in the book.And the book can raise awareness of people of environmental protection.In a word, I really do learn o lot from the readable and valuable book., the life attitude of Thoreau and deep thinking of environmental protection.Maybe I cannot understand Thoreau's thoughts completely, but I think the book, Walden, is a fairly good book to read.I hope you can read through it and I am sure you can learn something from it.
