2.Most Englishi people have three names.The last name,or surname as it also

known,is the family name. This is the family name of the father and is

given to all his children.The first names are given to the children at
birth,which is why they are called"given"names,Another term used to refer

to them is Christian names.Some people only have one given name,others
have several.Shortened form of a given namr is commonly used among friends

and classmates.For example, Thomas becmmes Tom,and becomes Sandy.

Do you have an English name?

多數英國人都有三個名字最後一個是"姓"，這是父姓且每個孩子都有。而第一個字便是孩子出生時家長給起的名。另一個稱謂指的是聖誕名。一些人只起一個名，而有些人有好幾個名兒。縮略形式通常在朋友和同學間使用。比如：Thomas變成Tom 等。
你有英語名兒嗎？

3. Have you ever heard your own voice? "Of course,"you say.

Has anyone else ever heard your voice ?Again you say ,"Of course."But that's not quiet true .Noboby else has ever heard your voice --the way you hear it.When you talk ,you set up sound waves.The air outside your head-The bones of your ears.But ,of course,the sound of your voice begins inside your head-The bones of your head pick up the sound waves,too.They carry the sound waves straight to your inner ear .You get the sound from the outside and the inside too.Other people get just the sound waves from the outside .That's why they don't hear your voice the way you do.

你聽到過自己的聲音嗎？
你說：「當然。」

有人聽到過你的聲音嗎？
你再一次說：「當然."
但是這樣說不是很准確。除了你，沒有人能和你自己一樣聽到你的聲音。當你說話的時候，你產生了聲波。你周圍的空氣，你的耳骨都接受到了聲波。但是顯然，聲音實在你的頭里邊產生的，所以你的頭骨也接受到了聲波。這些頭骨直接把聲波傳進你的內耳。你同時通過內外兩部分得到了你的聲音。而其他人只能通過外部接收到你的聲波。所以，其他人不能和你一樣的方式聽到你的聲音。

China has been a powerful country for the most part of the past three thousand years. China is now rising again. Why is that so surprising to people? History is the best evidence. The rise of China is just a matter of when, not if. Plus, do you want $100 jeans? Do you want $200 shoes? Do you want $3000 computers?

❽ 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~
