A little Brave Girl
A little Brave Girl
It is a true story.
This story was set in at the end of 2004 Zhejiang, when a ten-year old girl walked on her way to home from school as usual, she was being kidnapped off guard
by three men, whom are over 30 years of age, be tall, strong, and are very experienced in kidnapping. For just a split second, the girl was got in a car and didn』t know where she would head, but she didn』t burst into tears like others probably have done in her age, was unusually sober and figured out what has just happened. After short deliberation, she gave her parents telephone number to three
kidnappers after she was asked twice. Kidnappers shortly send short message to
her parents to tell what they did a moment ago for the ransom of RMB500,000 as they commands, threatened them with their daughter』s life. Her parents were at their wits' end at that moment and later had to dial police for helping. During closely watched by two kidnappers, the girl were pleased to cooperate with them in three meals, water, and spoke something to them for delaying. Luckily, kidnappers are very emotional and were amazed at what the girl said when it comes to money, 「 I know clearly you are impossible to kill me, you need money most of all
, but you should know money doesn』t grow on trees, but on painstaking hands.」
The girl said, 「 Uncle, you have probably had children like me, if you children
are in the danger of kidnapping, how then do you think? …」 Finally, the kidnappers were profoundly moved by her reasonable words, and policemen easily seized them about two days later, now they do their time.
Soon after, a journalist wanted to disclose the reason why such a little young
girl is so wise upon the curious queries from the public, but the girl』s parents definitely rejected to accept visit, because they are afraid of kidnapping again as everyone would probably know her. But her main teacher briefly told that
the school often takes 「 Keep a head ring a crisis, to be wise and brave.」 as a compulsory lesson to ecate pupils, this girl are brave enough to practise
this lesson. Also, the girl said she was sort of scared but must to eat enough to keep energetic so as to fight against the kidnappers as long as she could.
Through this story, I deeply feel that the importance of ecation. Nothing is
more important than to receive ecation. Ecation, is absolutely not complete
with graation, is a lifelong study and bound to exert a great impact on our future. Further, the value of ecation. We should not ecate children only for
the aim of ecation, our foremost purpose is to fit them for life.
We can see bats in almost every part of the world but they can』t live in very hot or very cold places. They live on all continents but do not live on Antarctica. You can find most species of bats in the places where the weather is nice and warm.
On some islands there are only a few kinds of bats. That』s because it』s too far for most bats to get to those islands.
In the United States, the greatest number of bats live in the south-western part of the country. This place has all kinds of places where bats can live and there is a lot of food ring most of the year. For example, Texas has 32 different kinds of bats while Maine has only 8; Arizona has 28 species, but Michigan has just 10.

1-3 C A B
Thomas Alva Edison was a man of wonderful ability who
had the good luck to be born at a good time. In the period
just after the American Civil War the United States was
growing conditions were right for the talents of a man like
Edison.
The Edison family had come to the United States from Holland
in the early part of the l8th century． Thomas Alva the
youngest of Samuel』s seven children was born in 1847.
Thomas was an unusually curious child． Even at an early age
he loved to read and make experiments． Because he was so
dreamy and quiet a teacher once accused him of being stupid．
Thomas』s mother was so displeased by this remark that she took
her son out of school and never sent him back. She took charge
of his ecation herself and taught him reading history
science and philosophy． Edison was a very quick reader and he
remembered everything． Once he got the idea of starting at the
first shelf of a large library and reading everything in it．
But after reading through fifteen feet of books he gave up
this ambition.
In order to earn money for books and for his scientific
experiments Thomas sold vegetables from the family garden.
This work did not bring in enough money and so he began to
sell newspapers and candy on a train that ran between Port
HuronMichigan and Detroit． Because people were so eager for
the latest news about the CiviI War which was then at its
height Thomas decided in February 1862 when he was fifteen
years old to print a newspaper of his own the Weekly Herald,
in a baggage car of the train where he worked．In four years he
earned two thousand dollars from thisbusiness.
While he worked on the train young Edison continued to
experiment setting up a laboratory in the baggage car. One day
a stick of phosphorus feIl to the floor and set thecar on
fire． The conctor of the train as so angry that he threw Tom
and all his equipment off the train at the next station； he
also struck Tom causing a permanent injury which later made
him deaf in the right ear.
One day not long after he had started his newspaper, EdiSon
saw a child playing on the tracks in front of a train. He
jumped off the station platform and snatched the child from
the wheels of the train. The father who happened to be the
stationmaster was so grateful that he offered to teach Tom to
become a telegraph operator．He gave him lessons four days a
week after the station had closed for the nightand in three
weeks Edison was a better telegrapher than his teacher.
Edison was sober and independent for his age, but hen was
restless and very careless in his dress． He began to wander
from city to city and from job to job． Because his ideas were
too strange to please the men who hired him,they often asked
him to leave． During this time, he worked in Indianapolis,
Cincinnati, Memphis, and Louisville．
Edison went to Boston's where he had been promised work as
adegraph operator, mainly because of the neat handwriting in
his letter of application, When heappeared in that city, he
looked so untidy and strange that the superintendent asked him
to return later in the day to take a test in telegraphy, with
ihe idea of making ihe test so diffcult that the young man
could not possibly pass it, As the rapid message came in,
Edison realized clerks in the station were playing a joke on
him. They had arranged for the new York operator to send him a
message, faster and faster,in an effort to make Edison admit
that he could not write it down at such a rapid pace, But
Edison was not discouraged. He decided to outwit these
fellows, and he began to send a message himself. He said to
the New York operator,「Come on, don』t go to sleep．Get busy!
That ended the joke, and Edison won his job, as weil as the
title of fastest telegraph operator in the Western Union
Company.
In 1869 he borrowed some money and went to New York． During
the first three years he spent there, he nearly died of
starvation. He slept in a room belonging to a company that
sent information on stock prices to the business houses of New
York． One day the machine that printed news about gold
stopped． Six hundred banks and business houses were without
information about what was being bought and sold that day.
Edison succeeded in repairing the machine, and he was then
offered a job as manager for $300 a month． He was soon hard at
work making improvements in the machine and inventing new
parts． His Universal Printer, invented at this time, printed
full information about gold prices, instead of showing them
only by a few letters and numbers． This was his first big
success． GeneraI Marshall Lefferts, president of the Gold and
Stock Telegraph Company, bought this and several other
inventions of Edison's for forty thousand dollars.
Edison then put his new money to work． He opened a factory
in Newark,New Jersey． Soon he had over one hundred and fifty
men building machines to record stock prices, while he himself
continued to work on new ideas. At one time, he had forty-five
separate inventions in his laboratory, including several
important improvements of the telegrilph. He invented a way of
sending two messages at the same time in opposite directions,
and then a way of sending two messages at the same time in the
same direction,In 1874 he invented and sold to Western Union a
system by which four messages could be sent over one wire at
the same time, two in each direction. He also perfected a new
system for sending telegrams. These inventions saved Western
Union milhons of dollars in the cost of wires and telegraph
poles alone.
Western Union then suggested to Edison that he try to
develop a commercially useful telephone, Alexander Graham Bell
had already patented the te1ephone, but Bell's telephone could
be heard only over short distances． Edison added several
improvements, which were adopted, and are still used in the
telephone today． Western Union paid Edison one hundred
thousand dollars for his inventions.
In l876 he built a workshop and laboratory in Menlo Park,
New Jersey． He was known after that as he Wizard of Menlo
Park,because of the wonderful discoveries he made there, He
began to study the attempts of other men to invent an
incandescent electric light． He tried over and over again to
make a soft light that would be suitab1e for use in private
houses． He tested over two thousand materials before
discovering one that would work． He needed something that
would become hot and give off light when electricity passed
through it in a glass container from which the air had been
removed． He spent a hundred thousand dollars searching for the
best material． Men were sent to India, China, Brazil, and
finally, Japan, where a material was finally found.
In Jalluary,1880, the electric light was patented. Edison
then built a factory for the proction of his light in Menlo
Park, and an electric power station in New York City. But it
was fourteen years before the public really accepted the
electric light． After that, the electric light business grew
So great that Edison was able to sell his share in the
electric light for more than one million dollars.
Edison patented over one thousand separate inventions ring
his life, He never stopped trying to learn more about science
and what it could do for man, His discoveries probably
increased the wealth of the world more than those of any other
single man in history.
On October l8,1931,Edison died at the age of eighiy-four at
his home in Orange, New Jersey． Several days later, the whole
United States turned off its electric lights for one minute,
in honor of the man whose discoveries had so changed and
improved the life of people everywhere.
托馬斯.阿爾法.愛迪生是一位誕生在好時代里的天才人物。
南北戰爭以後,美國正在成長壯大,各種條件對於象愛迪生這樣有天才的人都是有利的。
愛迪生一家人在十八世紀早期從荷蘭來到美國。托馬斯·阿爾法生於1847年,是撒繆爾的七個孩子中最小的一個。
托馬斯是一個好奇心特強的孩子。即使還在幼年時代,他就愛讀書和做實驗。因為
他如此愛好空想和不聲不響,以致一位老師有一次罵他愚蠢。托馬斯的母親對這個評語很不高興,她令孩子退學不再返校。母親自己照管孩子的教育,教他閱讀,教他歷史、科學和哲學等。愛迪生讀起書來,領會得快,而且過目不忘。有一次他異想天開,要從一所大圖書館的第一個書架看起,看完書架上每一本書。但在看完了書架上十五英尺厚的書籍後,他放棄了這個野心。
為了掙錢買書和搞科學實驗,托馬斯就出售他家菜園中的蔬菜。這工作掙不到足夠的錢,所以他就開始在一列專跑休倫港、密執安和底特律的火車上賣報紙和糖果。因為人們在南北戰爭的高潮中急於了解戰爭的新情況,托馬斯在1862年2月間,他十五歲時,決定在他所工作的火車行李車上印刷他自己的報紙《先驅周報》。四年之間他從這張報紙上賺了二千美元。
年輕的愛迪生在火車上工作時繼續搞實驗,在行李車上建立了一間實驗室。有一天
一根磷棒掉在地板上使這節車廂著火。列車長十分生氣,在下一個車站把湯姆和他的所有實
驗設備都扔下了火車,還揍了湯姆一頓,造成永久性傷害,使愛迪生右耳聾了。
愛迪生在開辦他的報紙後不久,有一天望見一個小孩在火車前面的鐵軌上玩耍。他急忙從站台上跳下把小孩從火車輪子下搶救出來。這孩子的父親正好是站長,他很感激,主動
提出要教會湯姆成為電報員。他在車站夜晚關門後,每周給他上四次課,三個星期之後愛迪生 便成為比他老師更好的電報員了。
就他的年齡來說,愛迪生很穩重,有獨立性,但他見異思遷,而且對於衣著很不注意。 他開始從一個城市漫遊到另一個城市,從一個
職業換到另一個職業。因為他的想法太離奇,
不能使僱用他的人滿意,僱主們常常叫他卷鋪蓋走路。在這段時間里,他在印地安納波利斯,辛辛那提,孟菲斯和路易斯維爾等城市都工作過。
愛迪生去到了波士頓,在那裡有人答應給他電報員的工作,主要因為他的求職信中字跡寫得工整。當他在波士頓露面時,他是如此的衣冠不整,怪里怪氣,以致主管人叫他當天晚些時候去參加電報技術的考試,目的是要故意出難題,使這位青年考不及格。當電報迅速拍進來時,愛迪生意識到電報局的職工們是在和他開玩笑。他們已經和紐約市的電報員安排好,給愛迪生拍一份電報來,越拍越快,企圖迫使愛迪生承認他抄不下這么快的電報。但愛迪生沒有泄氣。他決心以智取勝,於是他開始自己拍出一份電報。他對紐約市的電報員說：「來吧,別去睡覺,使勁吧！」這就結束了這場玩笑,愛迪生也贏得了他的職位,同時還贏得了西聯電訊公司最快電報員的稱號。
1869年愛迪生借了些錢去到紐約,他在紐約的頭三年裡,幾乎餓死。他睡在一家公司的一間房子里,這公司專給紐約各商行提供股票行情。一天,那台印刷黃金行情的機器不動了。六百家銀行和商行都收不到關於那天買進賣出的商情,愛迪生把這機器修好了,因此人家給了他一個經理的職位,月薪三百美元。他很
快地就努力改進這台機器,並且還發明了許多新部件。他當時發明的萬能印刷機印出了關於金價的全部情報,而不只是以少數字母和數字來顯示行情。這是他第一個巨大的成功,金價和股票電報公司的經理馬歇爾。萊費茲將軍出資四萬美元把這台機器和愛迪生的其他幾項發明買了下來。
愛迪生就拿這新到手的錢做生意。他在新澤西州紐阿克市開了一家工廠。很快地他就雇了一百五十人製造紀錄股票行情的機器了,而他自己則繼續試驗他的一些新想法。有一段時間在他實驗室里共有四十五個不同的發明項目,包括幾項對於電報機的重要改進。他想出了一種方法,可從兩個相反方向同時各拍出一份電報,隨後又想出一種方法,可從一個方向同時拍兩份電報。1874年他發明並售給西聯電訊公司一種裝置,用了它可以在一根電線上拍發四份電報,即從每一方向可同時拍發兩份電報。他還改進了一種拍電報的新方法。使之趨於完善。這些發明,僅在電線和電線竿的成本上就為西聯電訊公司節約了幾百萬美元。
西聯電訊公司又向愛迪生建議：叫他試制一部商用電話,亞歷山大.貝爾已經取得了電話機的專利,但貝爾的電話譏只能在短距
離內聽見。愛迪生增大了幾項改進,被採用了,這些改進直到今天仍然應用在電話上。西聯電訊公司為他的幾項發明付給愛迪生十萬美元。
1876年,愛迪生在新澤西州門洛園建造了一個車間和實驗室,由於他在那裡搞出了許多奇妙的發明,以後他被人們稱為「洛園的巫師」。他開始研究別人為發明白熱電燈所作的嘗試。他一次再一次地試制一種適子家用的柔光燈。在找到,種合用的材料之前,他竟試驗了兩千種以上的材料。他需要某種可放在抽去空氣的玻璃容器內,通過電流後能變熱並發出光來的材料。他花了十萬美元尋找最好的材料。他派人去印度、中國、巴西,最後終於在日本找到了。
在1880年1月,他取得了電燈專利權。愛迪生在門洛園建造了一家生產電燈的工廠,並在紐約市建成了一座發電站。但是直到過十四年公眾才真正接受他的電燈。在那以後,電燈業發展得規模如此之大。以致愛迪生出售他的電燈股票時,竟得了一百多萬美元。
愛迪生一生中得到一千多種發明項
國的專利為了學習更多的科學並使科學為人類服務,他永不停息。他的各種發明為世界增加的財富可能比歷史上任何一個人都多。
1931年10月18月,愛迪生在新澤西州奧蘭奇城的家中去世,終年八十四歲。幾天後全美國都停電一分鍾以紀念這個以他的發明大大改變並改善了各地人民生活的人。
⑵ 怎樣把握初中英語閱讀理解中的三個層次
一、表層理解是感知文章的初步
1.引申課文內容
表層理解是的閱讀，對文章形成初步的印象，篩選文章的信息和所要表達的主旨，理清文章的結構和安排。但僅僅是要求學生掌握文章字面意思，機械地文中內容，使課文內容再現。還下列理由讓學生深思小學英語教學論文後回答：①About how many babies are born in one minute? ②What may be the greatest problem of the world today? ③How is the population growing? ④When was the population over 500 million? ⑤What will happen in about 600 years?
2.的背景
為了使學生更快的理解文章意思，就學生掌握與文章的背景知識。美國心理學家奧蘇貝爾論述，個體在閱讀時，大腦中已貯存的信息與文章有關的知識，它有助於對文章的理解。當文章出現在學生面前時，個體的語言知識，還要有的背景知識和社會生活經驗，才能正確的理解文章的含義。：Standing Room Only是有關人口的理由，教學中由理由情境導入課文，讓學生的背景知識，以而為理解作鋪墊。Questions: ①What's the population of China? ②What's the population of the world? ③Have you ever heard of 「population problem」?
二、深層理解是高層次的理解
1.理由
深層理解是在表層理解的上，淺析作者的意圖和目的，深層理解的理由能讓學生產生創造性思維。學生能文章所傳遞的信息，的背景知識理解文章中明確表述的信息，「含不盡之意見於言外」。它是合乎邏輯的，是超越讀物傳遞的信息而的理性思維活動。在學生對文章初步理解的上，的理由：①What does 「standing room only」 mean?②By what year will the world's population reach 6 billion? ③How does the author show the seriousness of the problem?
2.尋找信息
在強調提問引導學生深思小學英語教學論文的，還學生在文中找到的於解決理由的信息，像語篇標志、主旨性的句子等。在上述的例子中，作者運用了大量詳盡的數字來人口的增加，還引用「A UN report says」來加強文章的可信度，以達到警示人口增加的性理由，給人感覺到解決人口理由是迫在眉睫的理由。
三、評價性理解能培養學生的創造力
1.設計評價理由
評價性理解在閱讀文章後，表達的，作出的評價。閱讀的目的是的信息，以此來淺析和解決理由，提高英語交際能力。在上述這篇文章中，評價性理由可設計為：①What is your opinion towards the population problem? ②What do you think we should do to solve the problem? ③Give a speech on population explosion.。要深思小學英語教學論文理由的實質：人口急劇膨脹會產生樣的後果？給人類的生活構成怎樣的威脅？用手段來解決？
2.知識補充
要讓學生順利評價課文的內容，：①給學生補充詞彙，如，population explosion, food supply, lack of resources, global problem, family planning等；②讓學生交流探究，討論使學生積極的深思小學英語教學論文，也給學生發言的機會，促使集思廣益，教師在設計這一層次的理由時，應挖掘文章的思想內涵，考慮語言形式與內容，在外語教學中融進思想內涵。
總之，初中學生初步的閱讀能力，初中英語教學大綱把培養學生的閱讀能力是完全正確的。學生了的閱讀能力，也就了的自學能力，為今後的學習打下了良好的。所以，提高的閱讀能力是的教學任務。教師培養學生的語言運用能力，培養學生的聽說能力，培養學生的口語交際能力和書面表達能力，以而提高學生的英語文化素養。
⑶ 初三英語閱讀題三篇，要答案，越短越好，一定要短
Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought.

4．B．英國男孩和Mr. Lee開玩笑，說明他把Mr. Lee看成朋友，所以答案是B。
In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conctor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (習慣)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (點頭) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'- a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an alt (成人) --it's just not done in Thailand .
1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .
A. were foreigners B. didn't have tickets
C. made a loud noise D. didn't line up for the bus
2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.
A. learn the language of the country
B. understand the manners and customs of the country
C. have enough time and money
D. make friends with the people there
3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.
A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.
B. to pass food with the left hand.
C. to eat food with your hands.
D. to help yourself at table.
4. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.
A. a common (平常的) habit
B. an important manner
C. a serious (嚴重的) trouble
D. a bad manner
5. The best title (題目) for this article is ________.
A. People's Everyday Life
B. Mind Your Manners
C. Shaking and Nodding Head
D. Taking a Bus in England
答案及解析：
1．D。這是一道句子理解題，也可以看成細節題。在第一自然段的最後，有這樣的句子： No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus．從此句可知那三位先生並不知道在英國乘車的習慣，所以答案是D。
2. B。這是一道細節題。答案在第二自然段的第二個句子。
3．B。同第二題一樣，此題也是細節題。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。

(一)A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people』s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文學). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有經驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
1. A friend of the writer』s drew the horses ____.
A. very well
B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule
D. all of the above
2. The writer was surprised because ____.
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people』s rule
3. You are not yet experienced because ____.
A. you don』t know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will ____.
A. never ask question
B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story
D. should think of the beginning
5. The topic of the passage is ______.
A. How to draw a horse
B. How to write a story

(二)When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence 「How do you do?」 as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It』s important to master(掌握) the rules(規則) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can』t understand the speakers』 sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn』t change. Let』s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
「She only likes apples.」 「Only she likes apples.」
「I』ve seen the film already.」 「I have already seen the film.」
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實際) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
