第一篇:晨讀英語文本3[范文]
3.X-Sports
Rick Stevenson, 16 years old, spends every minute he can on the mountain.He and his friends go snow-boarding every weekend.“It's incredible,” he says.“The winds are so strong, the boards go 50 miles an hour.” His friend Laura Fields agrees.“No one goes skiing anymore,” she says.“That’s for the old folks.”
Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports.It has its own language, words such as “rage,” “juice,” and “energy.” It has its own clothing, such as skin-tight bicycle suits in rainbow colors or baggy tops and pants.And it’s not for the old or the easily frightened.Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible.And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky, daredevil activities called “extreme sports,” or “X-sports.”In the past, young athletes would play hockey or baseball.Today, they want risk and
excitement—the closer to the edge the better.They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains.They wind-surf near hurricanes, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungy-jump from towers.Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports.A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a
skateboard and have fun.But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill.There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island.It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboards attached to their feet.What makes extreme sports so popular?
“People love the thrill,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment."City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging.The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds, “Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal.Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing.It’s just too boring.”
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone.Most people still prefer to play baseball or basketball or watch sports on TV.But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.“These sports are fresh and exciting.It’s the wave of the future.The potential is huge,” says Nussbaum.

Best Way to Know a Strange City熟悉陌生城市的最好方法(14日周一)
I was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all.What is more, I could not speak a word of the language.我在一個陌生的城市里并對這座城市一無所知。更糟糕的是當地話我一句也不會說。After having spent my first day in the duanwenw.com center, I decided to lose my way on the second day, since I believed that this was the nearest way of getting to know the strange city.第一天我在市中心待了一天,第二天我決定迷路,因為我相信迷路是了解一座陌生城市的最快辦法。

I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller.He smiled and handed me a paper.I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands.I gave him some money and went on my way.The next person I asked was a policeman.The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm.There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and duanwenw.com left again.I nodded politely and began walking in the point.我停下來去問一個長得比較友善的賣報人,他微笑著拿給我一份報紙,我揺揺頭又重復了一遍我住的街道的名稱,他卻把報紙放到我手里,我給了他錢,繼續走我的路。我同的第二個人是個警察,他仔細聽我說,微笑著并很溫和地拉起我的胳膊,他的眼里流露出一種奇怪的神情,他指左指右又指左。我禮貌地點了點頭按他指的方向走去。
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer And green fields were appearing in either side of me.I had come all the way into countryside.The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.大約一小時以后我發現周圍的房屋越來越少,兩邊開始出現一片片綠野,我一路來到了鄉下?,F在我唯一能做的事就是找到最近的火車站了。

母愛英語短文:Side Stepping躲到一邊(18日周五)
The photo album worn and old is sitting on the pile.She flips the cover open just to reminisce awhile.On the first page there she is, a baby in her lap, her son when he was one year old;she smiles as she thinks back.That was taken in the park where she took him to play.Funny how it sometimes seems like only yesterday.But other times it seems those days are distant memories.And all we have reminding us are pictures such as these.雜物上放著一本陳舊的相冊。她輕輕地翻開,僅僅是打算回憶片刻。第一張是她一歲的小寶寶坐在她的腿上。她面帶微笑地回想著。這張是她帶他在公園玩時照的,奇怪的是,這笑容依稀是在昨天,但那些日子卻已是遙遠的記憶。能讓我們再次回味的也只有這些照片了。
She sees a picture of him with his second birthday cake, duanwenw.com and smiles as she remembers of the face that he would make.When trying to blow out the candles he would have a fit.He tried so hard to blow them out but they would all stay lit.So Mom came to the rescue with a waving of her hand.The same time that he blew on it she waved a little fan.She smiles as she thinks back at all the things when he first tried, when she would lend a helping hand and then just step aside.她看到一張兒子和他兩歲時的生日蛋糕的相片,記起他常常做的鬼臉。當他準備好使勁吹蠟燭時,卻怎么也吹不滅,于是媽媽過來幫助他,揮了一下手。在他又吹蠟燭時,她輕輕煽了一下。她微笑著回想著他所有的第一次,她幫助了他,又躲到了一邊。

第三篇:英語晨讀計劃書
計劃書
1.背景:晨讀低效率,效果不佳,時間虛度。英語學習重在專攻,因而我組準備集中時間練習口語與發音。
2.目的:小組內每一個人都能按著自己的水平來學習,不會讓英語水平較高水平的同學因進度統一而被耽誤,也不會讓水平較差的同學因為進度過快而收獲甚微。
3.時間:鑒于英語的學習以三個月為一個輪回效果最佳,所以準備接受檢驗時間為三個月后。
4.計劃:
(1)每日每人根據自己水平背誦一段短文,第二天晨讀大家相互背誦推薦,找出最優或
最地道的一句話,將
(2)每周日早背誦完,復習一周的句子
(3)要求每個人的背誦段落都有
模仿其語音語調。力求完全一致。
(4)每晚睡前15
讀,熟悉模仿純正美語語音語調。
5.目標:組員美語發音純正,正常對話可以進行。不需要太高難度的對話,因為直接進行口語訓練單詞基礎太過薄弱,6.時間要求:小組成員每天最晚六點十五到。遲到請全體吃早飯。
7.地點:小樹林,如過兩天太冷則轉移到六食堂二樓。
以一個月為限定,如效果好就繼續,出現問題再進行調整。7個人的都整理在本上匯總。一共mp3誦讀,六點十分到六點四十背誦,七點到七點 mp342句話。加自己的六段背誦。5遍以上,宿舍人多可小聲讀或在走廊再求達到高水平對話。20分鐘為誦讀時間,聽至少下學期結合三個月單詞訓練后二者匯總,
