初中生英語擴展閱讀
英語,是我國中學生最為頭疼的一門學科,不僅需要大量的記憶單詞,還需要能讀懂英語文章(片段)。在中學階段,眾多的學生英語成績差,普遍是出在英語閱讀理解上的問題。因為閱讀理解,在英語考試試卷上占的分值大,而且對學生的做題技巧要求也很高。
那麼,初中生如何提高英語閱讀理解能力呢?
捷登老師指出,提高閱讀理解能力是中學生學習英語的主要目的。高效的閱讀方法,提高閱讀能力,是可以通過一定的方式來進行的。當然,同時促進學生聽說和寫的能力,可以使學生的英語綜合應用能力得到整體提高。
提高英語閱讀理解能力的具體做法有哪些呢?有以下幾點
一、單詞量需要加大
文章閱讀,首先是可以看懂,看得懂就意味著單詞的需要積累很多。沒有陌生單詞的阻礙,在閱讀瀏覽上則會很順利,理解也會很清晰。
在學習階段中,要有意識的積累單詞,尤其是中考、高考必考的單詞,這對考試時是有很大的幫助的。
二、精讀課文尤其是精彩文段
課本知識,是基礎,是所有英語學習延伸的基石,所以想要流暢的閱讀文章,就需要用心的學習日常的課本文章。泛讀與精讀,雙重交叉。精讀的作用在於,認真分析文段的結構與布局,在講明這篇文章時,作者採用了哪些知識內容,在分析整理中,提高閱讀理解的能力,同時也要自我思考。
三、多看多讀英文刊物
除了學習課本知識、課內文段,還需要每天閱讀英文刊物、小說,最好是哪類的題材都有,生活、社會、體育、文化、人物等等,增加課外英文讀物,是可以很大程度上提高思考力和邏輯力。另外,也會積累大量的詞彙量。
這不但對英語閱讀有幫助,還會對自己的文化修養有很大的益處。
四、定期的試題練習掌握做題技巧
不得不不說,我們學習英語,最大的關系就是應對中考、高考,那麼定期的試題練習是不可少的。英語閱讀理解的試題,可以從往年的真題中挑選,定時定量的做題。在作答後,參照給出的答案,檢查自己的錯誤,以及分析出錯的原因,同時也要注意是否有正確理解到出題人的意圖,是否順利的躲避出題陷阱。
在嚴謹的練習中,提高自己的做題能力,也在做題中不斷加強自己的閱讀理解能力,循序漸進,日後定會能力超強。
五、英語閱讀理解能力的提高離不開語文學習
首先英語是一門語言,是和語文具有同樣的意義,在閱讀理解上是異曲同工,所以想要提高英語閱讀理解能力,語文就需要努力學好。
以上就是關於初中生如何提高英語閱讀理解能力的相關內容,希望可以幫助到大家。最後,捷登老師還建議初中生們,要養成良好的學習習慣,擁有正確的學習態度,不要對英語保有敵意,也不要認為英語是無趣的,任何學科都有存在的價值與意義,只是你沒有發現而已。所以,想要提高英語閱讀理解能力,就要愛上英語,對它有興趣,那麼成績自然就有進步。
㈡ 初中生想提高英語閱讀能力,看一些什麼課外閱讀比較好
新華書店外語閱讀那一塊有一系列叫「書蟲」的,有初中生階段的讀物的,一般都是薄薄的一本,綠皮的,都是一些比較經典的名著簡化之後的版本,如湯姆索亞歷險記等,可以嘗試一下。
㈢ 如何對初中學生的英語進行拓展學習
英語學習的六大原則
我在英語學習方面是十分幸運的。在下過硬工夫的過程中,我從未感到英語學習的單調和苦悶,也未感到英語學習有多麼艱難。我讀過一些英語名家談體會的書,其中有中文譯本,也有英文原文本。這些書給了我很多啟發,使我能夠在結合自身學習英語的方法和經驗的基礎上,總結出符合常識的學習方法,並上升到符合英語學習規律的原則。如果你能按照這些原則一步一個腳印地去做,認認真真地去學習和體味,那麼你就定能學好英語。 英語學習應遵循以下六大原則。這些原則都是"常識"性的。正如美國總統林肯所說:一個人必須依據語言、邏輯和"簡單的常識"來決定問題和建立自己的行動計劃。在學習英語的過程中,你按照常理去做,你就可能成功。你違背了常理,就不可能成功。當然,成功與否還取決於你的"努力"。 這一斗賣次,你若按照常理去做,並且下工夫,那你就要成功了! (一)簡單原則 學習英語:從答春簡單的開始 運用英語:簡單-好、更簡單-更好、最簡單-最好 上大學的時侯,英語老師讓我們大量閱讀英語。有些同學就借來原著,第一頁看下來就有20幾個生詞,第二頁還有20幾個……到了第五頁已不知道第一頁所雲;到了第十頁已不知道前九頁講的是什麼。閱讀變得異常艱難和單調,體會不到有任何收獲,讀英語原著變成了查英語詞典、記憶生詞的過程,變成個苦差事。因此很少有人能堅持下去,就放棄了。其中有人又做了第二次努力,結果還是放棄。原因何在?我想它違背了"循序漸進"的常理。 所謂"循序漸進"就要求你從"簡單"開始。學習、使用英語都要遵守簡單原則。當年,我碰巧是從英語簡易讀物開始的。現在,書店裡有好多套把原著簡寫成的"簡易讀物"。我先讀那些用500~800詞簡寫成的讀物,後來又讀用800~1500詞簡寫成的讀物,再後來就讀用1500~2500詞簡寫的作品……我能讀進去,因為我讀懂了;讀懂的感覺特別好。當一個人有了成就感時自信心就誕生了,並越來越強,也就產生了更大的興趣。外國的英語文學作品彷彿帶我走進了一個不同的國家,一個不同的文化,一個不同的生活,結識了一些不同的朋友。在走入另樣的文化、生活、人物,風俗的過程中就產生了一種強烈的神往,一種強烈的慾望。每時每刻都想讀! 只有從簡單的開始,才容易入門,才容易產生"興趣",才容易把事情進行下去。英語閱讀應遵守"簡單原則",聽、說、寫都應從最簡單的開始,因為簡單原則有巨大的優點: 1、造就成就感,培養自信。 2、增加興趣。 3、語言朗朗上口。 4、易於學以致用。 但是很多中國學生對簡單的語言往往不屑一顧,只求理解而不去嘗試著使用自己學到的東西。中國學生在學英語中最喜歡追求一個字--"難"。盡管學了很多難的東西,卻不會"用"。而事實上,簡單的東西如能靈活、准確地使用才是真正重要的。比如從口語來說,人們並不是看一個人會說多麼難的單詞,關鍵在於看他能否熟練運用清銷耐最簡單的單詞、句型、語法來表達情感、思想。英語國家人們日常生活的交流是通過有限數量的單詞和簡單的句型來完成的。 Plain English(簡潔英語)在英語國家已成為趨勢:即在說或寫英文時都力求簡單。而中國學生盡管學了很多難詞,復雜的結構,但就連用簡單詞和結構來表達思想都做不到;有時用了很大的詞,一方面不妥,再者也很難讓別人明白。其實當你透徹理解英語中的"小詞","簡單表達方式"時,才能熟練地用簡單英語交際。 當然這並不是說"難的單詞"和"復雜句型"一點兒也不能用,或者說沒有用,我只是說應該少用或盡量不用。但目前"簡單英語"即是"最好英語"的潮流是千真萬確的。其實你同外國人面對面交流,你就會驚喜的發現,他們講的英語是那麼的簡單,你甚至會反問自己學了多年的復雜英語用處何在? 學會容易的東西,並把容易的東西融會貫通地加以運用才是英語學習的關鍵所在。 (二)量的原則 多-好,更多-更好,最多-最好 中國人學習英文,精讀、精聽、精說有餘,但泛讀、泛聽遠遠不夠,大量的亂說就更不夠了。沒有量的變化,怎麼能有質的飛躍?因此,中國人學習英語在注重"精"的同時,必須更加註重"泛"。比如學習英語閱讀,如果沒有讀到足夠的數量,就無法熟練地閱讀英語。若要學習聽力,那就大量地聽各種磁帶,聽英語廣播,看英語電視,看英文電影。如要學習英語口語,那就盡量多說英文。學習英語不能太急於求成,因為只有有了"量",才能有"質"的飛躍。 量的積累是必須的。許多人學習英語時,往往有一種誤解,認為一本書就代表一個水平。比如,當讀完一本初級閱讀書時,就會說"我的閱讀水平達到初級了",學完一本高級閱讀書,便狂歡"我達到高級閱讀水平了"。剛剛讀了一本初級口語書,就認為已有初級口語水平。讀了一本高級口語書,就認為已有高級口語水平。其實,英語學習有一個"點-線-面"的關系。一本書只是一個點,無數本書連成一條線,更多的線形成一個面。所謂"水平"就是面的問題。就拿閱讀來說,首先要讀大量初級書。當你讀完30本初級讀物書後,在你讀第31本初級讀物時已沒有幾個生詞,能輕松地讀懂,並進入作者所描繪的世界時,那你就可以讀中級水平的讀物了。僅僅讀過一本初級水平的讀物,基礎根本沒打好,就急於讀一個更高水平的讀物,那必然就會"欲速則不達",自然不可能學好。也就是說,無論處於何等英語水平,在相應水平上的量的積累是必須的。英語聽力、口語、寫作的學習亦應遵循這一原則。 語言的學習是培養一種感覺,而感覺要靠數量的積累來培養。俗話說水到渠成。同樣的道理,達到了一定的量,"語感"就產生了。這時應再把感覺上升到理念,將理念融入到自己的思維中,英語就能運用自如。請注意量的積累在基礎階段最為重要。金字塔的魅力就在於它完美的建築結構。有寬廣深厚的基礎,才能造就塔尖的輝煌。學好英文的道理是同樣的。基礎必須打牢,也只有在基礎打牢的前提下,才能學好英文。 在量的積累階段,也應該遵循正確的學習方法。以閱讀為例,一套簡易讀物分六級,每一級有五六本,一本只有100頁左右,不超過一個星期就可以讀完一個級的讀物。你在讀的過程中,不要太多拘泥於語法,可以偶爾體會一下語法的作用,但主要精力放在理解小說的主題上。要注意,我們是在通過英語獲取信息,了解文化、生活,吸收新的思想。你要讀進去,才能讀得快。不要研究語言,要樹立數量第一的觀念,盡量快速地讀。這樣一來,堅持讀三四個月,英語的閱讀水平就會迅速提高。 總有人問,要花多長時間才能學好英語。這問題不好回答,因為沒有衡量學好英文的標准,並且學習英語的速度也因人而異。但有一點是肯定的,那就是你必須有正確的學習英文的方法。實際上,學習英語如按照正確的方法去做,你很快就會入門。從入門到能用英語交際也就是一二年的工夫。因此,如果一直是按照正確的方法做,你很快就能學好英語。 (三)重復原則 英語有句諺語"Repetition is the mother of skills(重復是技能之母)"。你可以回憶一下你學習任何一種技能的過程。無論是游泳還是騎自行車,都是重復同一類動作的過程。 任何技能的獲得,當然包括英語這項語言技能,均來自重復。一種事情重復多了,便產生了感覺和深刻的把握。因此,在發展英語技能時,也應該遵循重復原則。比如,在閱讀時,當你讀過20本初級讀物後,就要在這20本中找出一本自己最感興趣的來讀10遍甚至20遍。同樣的,當你讀過20本中級水平的英語讀物後,就應該在這20本中找出一本自己最感興趣的來讀10遍甚至20遍。學習聽力和口語也要遵守重復原則。比如說,在聽了20盤初級英語聽力磁帶後,就要在這20盤已聽過的磁帶中選出一盤,再把這盤磁帶聽上20遍。在剛開始學習英語口語時,重復原則就更為重要。因為,剛學習英語口語,背誦一些英語後,就找同伴來練,反復重復已學內容。 "重復原則"與"量的原則"缺一不可,要有機地把兩者統一起來。學習英語中的任一項技能:閱讀、聽力、口語、寫作,都必須在量的原則的基礎上,再反復重復。英語中一定有一些你理解的很透並且已經掌握了的單詞或句型,你可以靈活自如地使用它們來交際。請注意,這些熟練掌握了的詞和句型一定是你重復過無數遍的,這些被重復的東西已經變成了你的一部分,因此你能把它們運用自如了。重復是人記憶的最重要途徑,重復使人准確、深刻理解事物本質、內在規律。 量的原則要求你多讀多聽,多說多寫,強調一個"泛"字。而重復原則要求你將同一件事做很多遍,也就是強調一個"精"字。如此看來兩者相互矛盾。但是矛盾是必然存在的。我想世界上最好的東西一定是矛盾的。因為只有兩個矛盾體,才能產生最大的動力使主體前進。好的英語學習方法也應力求矛盾的統一。既要有數量的積累,把面鋪開,又要同時將一本閱讀書、口語書、一盤磁帶、一部電影學透徹。在量的基礎上把部分內容學"精",這是很重要的。 (四)模仿原則 語言是人們在長時間的實踐中形成的認同符號,其運用"規則"可依。孩子學語言是個模仿的過程,他們每天模仿父母、周圍的人、電視等一切可以模仿的東西,並且模仿得越來越象,突然有一天,他們停止模仿了,並且逐漸形成融合自己個性特徵的語言方式。 作為英語學習者,必須模仿已有的東西,不經歷到位的模仿的"創新"意味著錯誤。創新源於模仿,模仿是學習英語的基礎,模仿是創新的基礎。只有在你通過模仿,真正掌握了英語的靈魂、精髓,然後,才可能談到自己的語言風格。 學習英語時,模仿原則是必不可少的。比如在學習語音時,要大量地重復練習音標、單詞發音,朗讀句子和文章。而在練習過程中,盡量模仿"音標發音和單詞發音,同時模仿句子的音調和節奏。模仿對學好語音至關重要。如果你要學習英語口語?模仿亦很重要。在學口語時,要盡量模仿你已經讀過的東西和已經聽過的東西。當然,如果你模仿你已經用"重復原則"所讀過的和所聽過的,效果就會更好。如果你要學習英文寫作,模仿的重要性更是顯而易見。你要讀各種不同類型的文章、名家的文章,重復地讀過多遍而能真正理解了後,就要一絲不苟地去模仿。模仿得越像越好,這是英語學習最基本的常識。 我的一位朋友英語口語很棒,當他談到學口語的秘訣時,他總是說"外國人怎麼說,我就怎麼說;外國人怎麼寫,我就怎麼寫。"真可謂一語道破天機! (五)突擊原則 若想學好英語,需要採取一個個"速戰速決"策略,找到"快速進入角色"的感覺。只有這樣,才能有足夠的動力和興趣把學習堅持到底。你還記得你是如何學會騎自行車、游泳或開車的嗎?你是否是通過短時間的"大量突擊"練習才掌握這些技能的呢?學習技能的要素是一樣的,那就是去無數次的突擊訓練。當然,學英語或許不像學會騎自行車、游泳那麼簡單,但駕馭和使用英語語言的確是掌握和培養一種技能。學習一種技能,突擊原則是最重要的。 我在學習英語時就運用了這種突擊強化的方法。我最初開始學習英語,先突擊英語閱讀三個月。從簡易讀物開始,堅持天天最大量地來讀。通過突擊英語閱讀,不但學到了詞彙,還熟悉了各種語法現象,更了解了一些西方的生活、文化和思想。緊接著,又去強化聽力,經過三個月的聽力突擊之後,再回過頭強化英語閱讀。強化完閱讀後,再強化聽力。強化完聽力後,再強化英語口語。按照這個原則,進行閱讀-聽力-口語-寫作的突擊強化。按照這種方法來學英語,進步是飛快的。 英語學習從某種意義上說是強化正確意念的過程:強化單詞發音的意念,強化單詞用法的意念,強化句型的意念,強化組織思想的意念。比如,你若要突破語音,就應該安排一段時間(比如15天)。在這15天內,天天學語音,聽語音,模仿語音,學"死去活來"。15天之後,感覺語音有了大的進步,掌握得差不多了就可以停下來。請注意,在模仿的同時,你還應該把自己的語音給錄下來,認認真真地找出自己發音的問題,加以糾正。過一段時間後,再按照同樣的方法來突擊語音。你這樣反復突擊五到六次,你的語音定將成為最棒的。句型、閱讀、語法、聽力、口語也都要有這樣一種反復突擊強化的過程。 一個人的精力不可能總是充沛的,重復做同一件事情就會變得單調,因此就要採取間隔突擊強化的方法。英語學習的過程應該是由一個個強化突擊階段所組成的。 (六)興趣原則 "興趣是最好的老師",學習英語首先要有興趣並努力發展這一興趣。如果你對英語沒有興趣,那就不會有持續的干勁和動力,英語學習將很難堅持下去。反之,一旦你對英語有了興趣並努力地發展這一興趣,那麼,你就會不知不覺地去做,帶著強烈的慾望去讀英語,聽英語,說英語,寫英語。你就會主動地找人去練英語,找一切可以提高你英語的機會去提高你的英語水平。不知不覺中你的英語就會提高。不知不覺中你就把英語學會了。所以"興趣"對學好英語有舉足輕重的作用。 然而,盡管知道興趣的重要性,但很少有人有意識、有步驟地去培養和發展自己對英語的興趣。 那麼,應如何培養英語學習的興趣呢? 發現和挖掘興趣 每個人都有自己的興趣愛好。把自己的興趣與英語學習結合起來,是英語學習成功的關鍵條件。 我對小說很感興趣,我當年學英語是從大量閱讀英文小說Charles Dickens(查爾斯·狄更斯)的簡寫本讀起。19世紀英國人的生活及思想情感在狄更斯的小說里得到了淋漓盡致的展現。進入英語的天地,我暢游在狄更斯的世界裡。不知不覺中我學到了許多語言及語言以外的東西:我不僅掌握了大量的詞彙、各種各樣的語法規則,而且對英國人的生活、文化、習俗也有了深刻的了解。 我入迷了,天天讀,從狄更斯到馬克·吐溫再到海明威,這些小說帶我進入一個英語世界,使我在不知不覺中學會了英語。但在閱讀時,我根本不想自己正在學習英語,只是努力地讀進去。後來,我看了大量的美國電影,電影使我著迷。我在看電影的時候,也不去想自己是不是在學英語。因為我是在興趣的驅使下做這些事情的,所以做得特別投入,大腦積極地工作,無意識的記憶效果最佳。我同意這種說法:在你沒有意識到自己在學習的時候,才是你學習得最多的時候。但請記住,前提是你正從中得到最大樂趣。 我有一個朋友很喜歡股票。他到了美國,每天24小時都有股票電視節目,他就興致勃勃地去看,但無論如何都看不懂,於是跑來問我。我對中文講述的股票行情都很困惑,更不必說英語了!於是就對他說我也不懂,但告訴了他如何學會看懂的方法。我說 :"你首先找一份報紙的商業版,然後再藉助字典閱讀所有的內容,這樣你就積累了關於股票的簡單語匯。此後,你有空就去看股票的電視節目,這些語匯很快就會從紙上活起來,出現在你的耳邊,再加上你有股票方面的知識,很快就能看懂那些節目了。"於是,他真的按照這個方法去做了,因為他對股票的確很有興趣。等我再去看他時,股票節目他全都看懂了,還邊看邊給我講解。另外,通過學習看電視股票的節目,他看別的英語節目時,能聽懂的也多了。 一個人如果能夠准確界定自己的興趣、所愛在什麼地方--特別是這個興趣與一個長遠的目標相結合,那麼他實現自己的目標就很簡單了。喜歡電影就看英語的,愛看小說就讀英語的,熱衷於廣播就聽英語的……只要通過英語這個媒體做他喜愛的事,他就走向了英語學習的成功之路。 興趣在"實踐"中產生和發展 兩個人在一起談如何學會游泳,談一會兒就煩了。但是,如果他們能到水裡體會一下游泳的感覺,並努力地去學著游,他們就會漸漸愛上這項運動,一旦愛上了這件事,即使不讓他去做,他也非要做。我小的時候就很愛游泳,有的時候為了游泳甚至都逃學。 興趣就是這樣在一次次實踐中產生和發展的。你對一種事物的熱愛在實際運用中產生,並變得越來越深。如果在學英語的過程中,你能夠盡早地嘗試使用所學的英語的快感,那麼你學習英語的興趣將日益增加。具體地說,就是你一開始學英語就要找機會來用英語。比如說,你剛開始學英語,就去找"老外"聊天,很快就學會口語了。還有,你想提高聽力水平,恰巧你喜歡聽新聞。那末,如果你堅持每天聽英語的新聞,很快就會把聽力提高上去。和熱愛英語的人在一起"愛"是可以相互傳遞的。如果一個人對英語充滿了熱愛與激情,與他在一起的你對英語也自然而然就產生喜愛。我在大學的幾個朋友有一個共同的特點:愛英語是沒有條件的。別人那種愛英語的瘋狂會使你也深深愛上英語。所以你的確應該與喜愛英語的人交朋友,這樣,你們對英語的愛就會相互影響、變得更強烈。比如,你有幾個喜好學英語的朋友,你們就會組成英語學習小組,一起學習閱讀、口語、寫作。幾個朋友在一起,就用英語聊天,一起討論英語學習中的體會,相互問問題。如果其中的一個英語水平顯著,那麼其他人都可以向他的水平看齊。當然,水平高的也可以學習其他人的優點。這樣一來,每人的進步都會很快。 樹立目標 做事想要成功,就必須樹立目標。一旦有了目標,你就會有足夠的時間和精力來學好英語。長遠的目標應該把學英語同民族的強大、祖國的發展聯在一起,同促進世界各國人民之間的交流和理解聯在一起。當然,還應該有無數的短期目標。短期目標可以是通過一個英語考試,為了考試而拚命學習英語。短期目標也可以是去世界上任何一個英語國家求學,在出國留學之前,你也要下工夫學習英語。短期目標還可以到世界上各個地方去旅遊,找到一份更令人滿意的工作。比如成龍,因為會英語,他不僅可以在中國拍電影,還可以到英語世界去拍,呈現在他眼前的是一個更加繽紛的世界。因此,一個人如果能夠通過一個具體的想像,看到自己學好英語之後的燦爛的未來,即使他學習英語有挫折,也會堅持不懈地學下去,直到學好為止。 投資增加興趣 我對美術作品很感興趣,我買的藝術品越多,我對它們的愛就越深,因為這樣我才有機會真正深入到我喜愛的東西中去:"陷得越深,愛得越深"。如果你喜歡聽英文歌曲,那就去買磁帶、CD,你的興趣會隨著欣賞不同的音樂而增長。如果你喜歡英語,你就要買各種各樣的英文書籍,各種各樣的英語磁帶,各種各樣的英語報紙雜志,你還要參加不同的培訓班,這些投資會使你找到英語的趣味性,並使你發現英語給你帶來的奇妙世界。當你體味到英語內在的趣味之後,進入英語語言所帶來的信息世界,你的英語學習的興趣自然會提高。 綜上五條,英語學習的關鍵是找到突破口。你喜歡閱讀,那不妨從簡易讀物開始,你喜歡歌曲,不妨就從英語歌曲聽起,你喜歡報紙,就從報紙讀起,你喜歡電影,就先看英語電影。記住,做任何事情興趣是最重要的!

The best way to strengthen your resolve and increase your will power is to thouroughly read one difficult article a day. Difficult articles will increase your vocabulary, improve your reading comprehension and supply you with valuable sentence patterns and grammar to enhance your spoken English. This terrific habit will also give you a strong sense of achievement and encourage you to improve other areas of your life. Once you train yourself to make your difficult article a part of your daily routine, you will even grow to enjoy it. Reading difficult articles is just like vigorous exercise. At first it is extremely hard, you need to push yourself to finish. Eventually, just as your body grows used to the sweat and effort, your mind will also adjust and welcome the challenge. In fact, people who exercise regularly feel terrible when they don't have an opportunity to exercise! You can develop the same kind of relationship with difficult articles! You can use them to nourish your mind and your spirit until you reach the point where you feel lost without them.

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition,and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you" and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[陰溝、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
窮人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上,我們外出,從街上帶回了四個人,其中一個生命岌岌可危。於是我告訴修女們說:「你們照料其他三個,這個瀕危的人就由我來照顧了。」就這樣,我為她做了我的愛所能做的一切。我將她放在床上,看到她的臉上綻露出如此美麗的微笑。她握著我的手,只說了句「謝謝您」就死了。我情不自禁地在她面前審視起自己的良知來。我問自己,如果我是她的話,會說些什麼呢?答案很簡單,我會盡量引起旁人對我的關注,我會說我飢餓難忍,冷得發抖,奄奄一息,痛苦不堪,諸如此類的話。但是她給我的卻更多更多――她給了我她的感激之情。她死時臉上卻帶著微笑。我們從排水道帶回的那個男子也是如此。當時,他幾乎全身都快被蟲子吃掉了,我們把他帶回了家。「在街上,我一直像個動物一樣地活著,但我將像個天使一樣地死去,有人愛,有人關心。」真是太好了,我看到了他的偉大之處,他竟能說出那樣的話。他那樣地死去,不責怪任何人,不詛咒任何人,無欲無求。像天使一樣――這便是我們的人民的偉大之所在。因此我們相信耶穌所說的話――我飢腸轆轆――我衣不蔽體――我無家可歸――我不為人所要,不為人所愛,也不為人所關心――然而,你卻為我做了這一切。

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
㈤ 如何提高初中生英語課外閱讀能力
如何提高學生的英語課外閱讀
如何培養學生英語課外閱讀能力:我們提倡運用上下反復平行交叉的互動式閱讀法,引導學生從整體到局部,從語篇到語句,從大意到細節,利用語言形式去構建全文的語叉圖像,再利用這個語義圖像去理解段落、句子、片語單詞的語言形式,從而幫助學生把語言圖式、內容圖式和結構圖式完整有機地聯系在一起。
一、英語課外閱讀的必要性
閱讀是吸收英語語言材料、增加語言知識、擴大詞彙量的重要手段,而且閱讀能力是一種語言的綜合能力,提高閱讀能力能為口語能力和寫作能力的發展打好基礎,也能使學生從英語閱凄中認識學習英語的真正價值,體驗學習英語的樂趣,樹立學好英語的自信心。所以,學生所學的語言知識能否鞏固,言語技能能否得到培養與發展,在很大程度上取決於學生能否真正學會閱讀。·
二、學生課外閱讀活動的調查與分析
對學生的英語課外l』列讀活動狀況進行調查和分析,旨在發現學生課外閱讀的特點,比較其差異:以便進一步有效地開展系統的課外閱讀活動。通過這一調查及統計,我們發現68%的學生幾乎不進行英語課外閱讀,而且男、女生在閱讀巾的差異也是客觀存在的。其中由於讀不懂英文課外閱讀材料而放棄的約80%,沒有時間進行閱讀的約90%,沒有興趣讀的約86%。·經過和學生交流得知,導致這個不良結果的主要岡素為:課後作業較多,閱瀆時間沒有保證;沒有閱讀的興趣;只疲於應付語法題目。我們也發現,部分學生對課外閱讀重要性的認識明確,但是不少學生沒有養成良好的課外閱讀習慣,沒有掌握科學的閱讀策略,因此還需要教師的有效指導。.
三、課外閱讀方法指導
1.精選材料,擴大范圍,培養興趣。首先,我們要幫助學生理順課內與課外關系:課外閱讀對課內知識有補充和促進作用,二者相輔相成,必須把它們緊密地結合起來,使課外閱讀成為課內學習的延續。其次。興趣是成功的原動力,材料要有其發展性,體裁要多樣化,要講求趣味性和時效性。另外,我們要培養學生發散性的元認知結構,注意材料的內容,把握語言難度,經常能夠結合當前課本所學內容。閱讀材料的難度適中,由淺入深,逐步升級。
2.培養學生良好閱讀習慣,強化閱讀意識。要養成良好的閱讀習慣,我們必須從點滴做起。在學生進入中學時,就告訴他們課外閱讀的重要性和必要性,並做到及時指導。心理因素對閱讀的影響也很大。不少學生在閱讀時缺乏信心,或被動,或急於求成。我們及時幫助學生克服心理障礙,使他們心平氣和主動積極地參與這一活動。為此,我們設立並完善了一些獎勵措施和評估辦法。此外,我們為學生營造良好的英語氛圍,在班級里創建英語閱讀環境。
3.指導學生掌握閱讀策略,培養高效閱讀的能力。
在課外閱讀教學中,我們用不同的閱讀策略來激發學生的閱讀興趣,培養學生的閱讀能力。①提倡平時多大聲朗讀,背誦精彩段落和文章,以培養英語語感。②在英語課外閱讀中做到精瀆和泛讀有機結合。當學生的閱讀能力達到一定程度後,我們要求學生掌握以下常規的閱讀策略:默讀、略讀、跳讀、預測、猜測詞義、細讀、尋找關鍵詞和主題句等等方法。在初中階段的專項練習中,我們較為側重教授學生如何尋找主題句和細讀。我們的課外閱讀是相對於教科書上的材料而言,它不是來自課本上的,而是教師根據不同年級,不同層次所選擇推薦的不同題材、不同體裁的課外材料。我們不是一味地追求「T」、「F」、等選項,而是用其他更能夠調動學生積極性的一些措施,比如對於敘述性的文章我們在閱讀之前,向學生示例故事結構,包括背景、主題、情節、高潮、結局等,這樣便於提高學生邏輯思維能力,並促進理解,閱讀之後讓學生歸納中心思想,進而達到情感目標的培養。③貫徹「整體閱讀」法。我們要求學生集中注意力於整個篇章內容,而不是個別詞語。在閱讀過程中,學生辨認出篇章開頭的某些實詞、轉折詞語等關鍵性詞語時,頭腦立刻開始了對篇章內容的預測。接著在繼續閱讀的過程中,通過對部分詞語的辨認而不斷證實擴展開始時的預測。或者否定它而產生新的預測,最後達到把握文章的前後呼應以及情節聯系,綜觀全文.整體把握,鼓勵學生養成「成組視讀」的閱讀方法,按照意群或句群進行閱讀,以提高閱讀速率。與此同時,我們提倡運用上下反復平行交叉的交丐=式測讀法。引導學生從整體到局部,從語篇到語句,從大意到細節,利用語言形式去構建全文的語義圖像,再利用這個語義圖像去理解段落、句子、片語單詞的語言形式,從而幫助學生把語言圖式,內容圖式和結構圖式完整有機地聯系在一起。

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin was walking around the shining car.「Is this your car,Paul?」 asked.
Paul answered,「Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.」 The boy was surprised.「You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…」 He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
「I wish,」 the boy went on,「that I could be a brother like that.」 Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, 「Would you like to take a ride in my car?」
「Oh yes,I'd love that.」
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,「Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?」
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. 「Will you stop where those two steps are?」 the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
「There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.」
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

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.

㈦ 如何提高初中生英語閱讀能力
英語閱讀能力的高低直接關繫到英語學習的好壞,遺憾的是,我們的閱讀教學效果並不盡如人意。由於傳統的英語教學過多的承擔了詞彙、語法等語言基礎知識的教學任務,英語教師常把大量的時間、精力用於知識點傳授、復習、掌握和操練上,對於閱讀訓練,尤其是以語篇能力、思維能力和閱讀技巧為核心的閱讀能力訓練不足,導致學生的閱讀能力沒得到實質的提高。
隨著初中英語閱讀量不斷增加,初中學生思維能力的局限越來越成為阻礙學生提高英語考試成績的一大障礙。而閱讀理解題更是越來越多地檢測學生對文章的隱含意義、邏輯結構等的理解和對主旨大意的概括,問題的答案多數隱藏在文章的脈絡之中,學生通常無法直接從字面意思中獲得,必須開動腦筋、激活思維。因此,要想在英語考試中取得高分,學生必須學會靈活運用分析、綜合、歸納、判斷、推理等思維方法。由此看來,當前如何提高學生英語閱讀能力已成為迫切需要解決的英語教學課題。
影響學生英語閱讀能力的因素
不良的閱讀習慣
1.出聲閱讀,此習慣的主要弊端就是影響了閱讀速度。出聲閱讀往往以不同形式表現出來,不一定有聲音,有時可能是無聲地動動舌,喉,嘴唇等,但這無疑會阻礙眼睛的掃描速度,多了聲音這一階段,所以要訓練養成直接利用視覺來閱讀的好習慣。
2.過於精讀,由於平時英語教學著重於對片語的積累,長句難句的分析,很多學生在實際閱讀中,往往邊讀邊分析句子,碰到不懂的單詞,停下來查字典。結果是句子讀懂了,可對文章的把握卻不知所述,不僅影響了閱讀速度,還扼殺了閱讀興趣。所以要培養自己猜詞的能力,利用上下文意,而不是靠查字典。
3.復讀過於頻繁,即指讀完一句或一段,有回過頭來再讀一遍。這嚴重影響了閱讀速度。這是學生閱讀自信心不強的表現。
(二)忽略閱讀技巧
大多數中學生在實際閱讀中,都是簡單地看似按順序的操作,先文章,再來做題。有所不知的是,運用了一些閱讀技巧之後,會達到事半功倍的效果,如,精讀與泛讀相結合,略讀,尋讀,以及猜詞的技巧。靈活運用閱讀技巧,能讓閱讀能力有一個質的飛躍。
閱讀量小,知識面太窄。大多數學生只在課堂上進行相關閱讀訓練,很少通過報刊,雜志去豐富自己,對於中西文化的差異的陌生,同樣給閱讀帶來不利影響。
閱讀思維的欠缺。部分學生滿足於表層理解而忽視深層理解和評價性理解,對於不能在文中直接找到答案的題目,不知所措,缺乏對文章實質的理解及思考,所以要訓練總攬全文大意的能力,通過語段歸納,主旨句的分析來提高這方面的能力。
二、如何在英語課堂中有效提高學生英語閱讀能力
(一)養成良好的閱讀習慣,對於提高閱讀能力至關重要,良好的閱讀習慣是不通過出聲,僅用視覺來完成對文章大意的把握及細節的處理。同時,也把閱讀當成是件樂事,選擇難度適中,生動有趣的文章對學生進行訓練,培養學生的閱讀信心,從而養成良好的閱讀習慣,提高閱讀理解能力。
(二)訓練閱讀速度,通過對文章難易的判斷後,來規定具體時間,如3min 完成短片文章,5min中篇較難的文章,7min難度大的文章。長期堅持這種習慣,閱讀速度能不斷提高。
(三)增加詞語積累。詞彙量大小直接影響學生閱讀能力,這好比造房子要磚瓦材料,詞彙就是閱讀英語的磚瓦材料, 沒有相當的英語詞彙,閱讀英語是無法進行的。在平時的英語教學中,要著重對重點詞,片語的拓展,運用,以及詞性,詞形的強調和變化。
(四)拓寬學生知識面,了解文章的文化背景、風土人情。英語被廣泛運用於許多國家,有著豐富的人文內涵,隨著經濟全球化的進程,拓寬知識面,了解世界各地的文化和風土人情,對培養學生的英語閱讀能力十分重要。語言交流涉及社會、政治、經濟的各個方面,擁有較廣知識面的人,看到各類文章都能夠讀得懂。讀懂還不夠,還要與文化背景相結合,只有深刻了解文章文化背景、風土人情,經過分析、判斷、推理,才能夠更好地准確把握文章。在教學過程中,可以摘錄一些內容與學生們討論,交流,讓他們能更多的了解文化的差異。?
(五)培養閱讀能力,掌握閱讀技巧是閱讀教學中重點,精讀與泛讀的巧妙結合,對文章細節的捕捉,就精讀細讀到段到句。對於與段意,文意的掌握相關的題目,就通過泛讀的方式獲取。尋讀,顧名思義,就是根據題目來尋找答案,這種技巧很直接,通常是任務型,如,人名,地點,時間,原因。可以直接從文章中找到。略讀的要點就是有側重性,當我們要確定文章的主題,作者的觀點,文章的風格等,我們可以選擇略讀這種閱讀技巧。猜詞技巧可分為以下幾種:利用上下文意,利用構詞法,如前綴-un,-in,後綴-able,-ful,-ness。利用定義線索,如文中出現which means,be called,that is 等標志性的詞。
(六)閱讀思維的培養。與其說是培養閱讀思維,不如說是培養語感,英語閱讀中,語感很重要,語感來源於大量的閱讀積累,只有大量的涉獵課外書籍,才能達到語感的質的飛躍,如英語周報閱讀版,21世紀報,中國日報英文版,慢慢來,從易到難,從簡到難,關鍵是對英語閱讀興趣的培養,漸漸的會發現自己的語感在潛移默化中提高了。
培養閱讀能力,掌握閱讀方法是教學中應該長期堅持,且只有經過不懈努力才能取得好的效果。作為教師,我們應該將此項工作不斷在教學中總結、完善和提高,力爭探索出一種培養學生閱讀能力迅速提高的最佳方法。
㈧ 淺談如何提高初中生英語閱讀能力
當今社會知識日新月異,科技突飛猛進。為了滿足社會的發展需要以及學生的興趣與愛好,為了能更直接、迅速地了解世界科技發展的最新動態,學生必須具備良好的英語語言能力。英語語言的能力包括聽、說、讀、寫的能力,其中閱讀能力至關重要。對於大多數中國學習者而言,英語的主要用途在於獲取知識和有效信息,以利於更好地分析問題與解決問題,方便工作與生活。由此可見,提高學生英語閱讀能力至關重要。在英語教學大綱中也明確將培養學生的閱讀能力作為英語教學目標之一。因此,初中英語閱讀教學是英語教學中極為重要的部分。我們英語教學的目的就是要培養學生獨立閱讀的能力和應用語言的能力。提高英語閱讀能力的途徑是多方面的,本文從以下個方面闡述這個問題。 一、激發學生英語閱讀興趣,提高學生閱讀的積極性 興趣是最好的老師,這不僅是對中學生學習英語的鞭策,也是提高學生閱讀能力的有效途徑。本著「以人為本」的教育理念,積極培養初中生英語學習興趣,讓學生在愉快情境中閱讀英語,是新時期英語教和學的和諧與創新的體現。在英語課堂內,教師應時刻關注學生情感態度的發展,努力創造和諧、自然的課堂氛圍,激勵學生積極主動地參與課堂的各項活動,與老師進行良好的互動,從而達到提高學生閱讀水平的目的。 在課外,教師要積極創造機會走進學生,了解學生的閱讀情況,幫助學生解決閱讀中的困難,對學生在閱讀過程中遇到的障礙進行分析並解決,這樣與學生之間的信任感加強了,對學生閱讀情況了解更充分了,學生的閱讀興趣也在不知不覺中增強了。 比如,在考試結束後,及時找學生談心,有針對性地對學生試卷中不應出錯的閱讀理解題目進行分析,讓學生通過與他人進行對比、分析,查出自身不足,並提出行之有效的閱讀策略。 二、重視詞彙的積累 在英語學習過程中,詞彙的積累是基本功,並且在閱讀中扮演著相當重要的角色。平時教科書中的基礎詞彙的識記與收集,是初中生學習詞彙的基本途徑。另外,課外讀物中的詞語鮮活、實用、現代氣息濃厚,如能將這些詞語也納入自己的「字典」,定能在英語閱讀中更上一層樓。因此,在進行課外讀物的閱讀時,可以讓學生將一些重要的詞彙,優美的英語句子摘抄下來並盡可能記下來。例如:Maria taught the children to sing lively songs and perform short, funny plays to cheer them up. The father was almost mad at first, but the smiling faces of his children pleased him and made him happy again. 此段中有許多重點常用詞彙:lively, perform, funny, cheer up, at first, pleased, happy等。學生經過長期的積累,持之以恆就會增加詞彙量,這樣有利於減少閱讀障礙,提高閱讀速度,提高獲取有效信息的能力。 此外,詞彙是人們對世界的認識的基礎載體,學生的詞彙知識多數來自於大量的閱讀,新學的詞彙如果沒有派上用場,便會削弱學生學習詞彙的積極性。教師在選擇閱讀材料 時應注重選取含有最新詞彙的文章,緊跟時代步伐,貼合學生的生活實際,這樣能夠幫助學生鞏固所學的最新詞彙,極大程度上滿足學生學習詞彙的心理需求,使學生獲得學有所用的成功感。 三、設計閱讀任務,強化閱讀訓練 在初中英語教學中,每一個話題都有一個閱讀訓練,其設計主旨在於提高學生利用英語閱讀獲取信息、解決問題的能力。在這個閱讀訓練中,教師可以根據文章內容設計問題,讓學生搶答,或者進行話題討論。 在初中英語教科書中,每個話題的Section C中都設計了閱讀文章。教師可以在學生預習前設計好問題,讓學生帶著問題去預習這篇文章。在教學這篇文章時,訓練學生通過主要的詞彙復述文章內容。學生在討論中獲得了用英語交際的真實感受,真正發揮了英語的教育功能。 四、要善於應用閱讀技巧,提高閱讀效率 首先,要重視文章的題目和文章的首句及結構。因為文章的題目就是文章的意圖,文章的內容就是圍繞主題展開。首句是文章的導入部分,點明作者寫文章的意圖、背景等。其次,培養巧妙的猜詞能力。有些人在閱讀時一遇到生詞便立刻去查詞典。應鼓勵學生利用學過的知識和技巧,根據所讀文章的上下文去猜測新詞的詞義。比如:Unit6 Topic2的Section C中: When Darren finally pushed his way out, he noticed his friends were both out of sight, he was too frightened to know what to do. His heat was beating fast. Slowly he walked toward a huge rock beside the road and sat there sadly. He didn』t raise his head until someone called him. It was Kangkang.「Oh,Dareen! There you are! It』s great to see you!」As soon as the three boys saw eachother, they all jumped up and down happily. 這段文章中新詞彙要鼓勵學生去猜測push,direction,step,toe , notice ,sight ,beat ,slowly 等詞語的意思。經過這樣的反復訓練,學生的理解和判斷力有所提高,遇到生詞也想去猜測了,節約時間,提高閱讀效率,並且如果猜對了,還能讓學生在此過程中獲得學習的樂趣與成就感。 第三,培養獨立的分析能力。對難度稍大的問題要在反復精讀短文的基礎上,認真分析,找出答案。根據提出的問題劃出短文中與之有關的句子,以便正確解出問題的答案。如果學生掌握了這些閱讀技巧就如虎添翼,基本具備了獨立閱讀的能力,在今後的閱讀中將會受益匪淺。 五、培養良好的閱讀習慣 學生的閱讀習慣是在英語學習中慢慢的形成的,需要教師耐心地引導,是一個漫長的過程。首先應培養學生平時自覺閱讀的良好習慣———預習。預習課文是養成閱讀習慣、提高閱讀能力的一條有效途徑。學習課文的目的是培養學生獲取新詞彙信息的能力,如果預習自學的方法得當,就能逐漸養成良好的閱讀習慣,從而為提高閱讀能力打下良好基礎。初中英語教材中的課文,大多是妙趣橫生的小故事並且圖文並茂,自學起來不是負擔,而是一種樂趣。因此學生在老師教授課文之前,應該自覺地先預習課文,依照預習目標反復閱讀課文,做到:上新課前先學習好生詞和短語,理解課文大意;找出文章的疑點、難點;針對提出的問題找出答案和重點句。 初中生同時還要克服以下幾種不良的閱讀習慣: (1)學生在平時閱讀過程的有聲朗讀,這樣閱讀的效率會受發音的速度限制,要努力培養成默讀的習慣。 (2)閱讀能力差的學生經常會出現回頭讀的現象,慢慢就養成了重讀的習慣,要解決這個問題,要及時引導學生閱讀時注意控制自己不重復閱讀,盡量做到讀一眼就讀懂,掌握文章的大意,實在不行就採取遮蓋訓練法,學生就會改掉重讀的毛病。 (3)有的學生一碰到生詞就求助於字典,不僅影響了閱讀的速度,而且還容易打斷閱讀思路,大大影響了閱讀的速度,降低閱讀效率。因此要引導學生採用猜測或推理判斷的方法,解決閱讀中遇到的生詞,這樣可以提高閱讀的效率,同時也培養了閱讀的能力。 總之,提高學生的閱讀能力非一日之功,需要每一位英語教師腳踏實地地去努力,教師要不斷地激發學生的閱讀興趣,在英語教學中讓學生積累盡可能多的詞彙,在指導閱讀過程中不但要「授之以魚」,而且要「授之以漁」,讓學生在閱讀學習中培養良好的習慣,體會閱讀的情趣,體驗閱讀所帶來的成功的激情,最終有效地提高學生的閱讀理解能力,這才是真正意義上的閱讀。

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
_______________
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (頑童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (猶豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的.) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Graally, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(擁抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
