1、The Raven and the Swan
A raven saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
2、Fox and cock
There were many mice in a house. The man of the house got a cat. The cat killed many of the mice.
Then the oldest mouse said, " All mice must come to my hole tonight, and we will think what we can do about this cat.』

All the mice came. Many mice spoke, but none knew what to do. At last a young mouse stood up and said, "We must put a bell on the cat. Then, when the cat comes near, we shall hear the bell and run away and hide. So the cat will not catch any more mice.』

Then the old mouse asked, " Who will put the bell on the cat?"

No mouse answered.

He waited; but still no one answered.

At last he said, "It is not hard to say things; but it is harder to do them."

❷ 適合初一的英語讀物

《中學生網路英語》（1-4）是一套原版引進的英文書籍，語言地道、內容豐富、練習題很新穎、很實用，是非常好的課後閱讀。

外語的學習，選擇原版、地道的語言素材是首要的。原版的閱讀，無論是對於學生的校內考試、還是日常生活中的實際應用都明顯優於國家統編的教材。原因很簡單、統編的教材語言的內容太狹隘、太注重所謂任務型教學的原則、到了通常的課堂教學中又偏重語法和語言點的講解、學生真正獲得的語言能力基本就是應試的能力（這個應試的能力也只是國內的考試而已、真正到了留學國外是沒有用的）。而國外的語言素材是接地氣的、和生活息息相關、很容易為學習者接受、也很容易成為學習者自己的語言能力。

《中學生網路英語》冊1的內容，有紐西蘭的Kiwi鳥、沙漠的駱駝、北極熊、河馬、海豚等動物語篇；人類為何會打哈欠、大笑、為何海水是鹹的、植物也會謀殺、有聽力障礙的人如何交流；水稻、柑橘、咖啡樹等植物；西方的布魯斯、爵士樂、搖滾樂等；不同國家的人的工作時間、高薪或低薪的職業、度假休閑等；世界各地的少數民族及其文化習俗；攀登珠峰的首位女性、獨自遠航等探險活動等等。

每篇後面的練習也很好。首先是為語篇中的句子填寫空缺的詞、再用語篇中的詞彙用到新的語句中、再回答語篇內容理解的問題，都是在文中找尋內容，這樣的學習過程，很容易熟練語篇內容，學生是很喜歡的。
2009年南京外國語學校的初中招生英語能力測試，首篇Kiwi鳥是考到的閱讀內容之一、還有關於北極熊等常識的內容。不僅如此，近年的中考和高考的英語閱讀，很多素材都是選自原汁原味的英語文刊，這是很有益於學生的非常好的導向。

如何閱讀原版文章？內容第一！
這個和閱讀中文的故事書是一樣的。閱讀中文故事書、讀者看的也是內容、不可能是不停地查找其中的生字詞、分析詞句語法結構。
閱讀後有不懂的詞彙需要查閱的、學生自己可以查英文詞典。可以配備「牛津高階英漢雙解詞典」（最新版本）。

想要升學重點初中的六年級學生可以讀一讀、做一做《中學生網路英語》第一冊。
初中的同學、可以繼續學習第二冊（2012年中考的初中生們自己閱讀學習了第二冊、反應很好）、喜歡的繼續學習第三冊、越學越簡單、後面就是自如的閱讀能力了~~

語言的學習和考試、最重要的是閱讀~

There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can』t work all that time-we need a holiday.

Dear Jack,
How are you? I have been in the USA for six months. I like the life here. I have a few friends. I don』t have much homework. There are a lot of sports at my school, but I don』t like sports at all. I like the food very much. I eat a lot of different kinds of food every day. I like coke（可樂）very much. I don』t drink water. I drink coke instead（代替）. I』m enjoying my life here. The sad thing is that sometimes I get ill. I don』t know why. My parents say I must go on a diet and do more sports. Must I?
Yours,
David
