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(文学). 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(有经验的) 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
C. How to make your own rules
D. Trust to your own powers

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 (顽童) 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 (犹豫).
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 (残疾的.) 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(拥抱)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.

E. 有什么适合中学生阅读的原版英文读物
学习英语确实需要多看看原版书籍。
中学生的话可以推荐两套书籍，都是挺不错的。
第一种是新概念。
英语专业的学生应该都知道新概念，毕竟实力在哪儿是吧。新概念适合听、模仿和诵读。英语和中文一样总是需要多读多听多背，所以选择一套好的教材也是非常必要的。新概念一共有四册，可以从第一册学起，跟着录音的语音语调进行模仿，一般录音是英式英语的，还有美式英语的，所以可以进行选择一下。书里面有录音，有课文有练习题，里面的表达很地道，在进行模仿的时候注意句子的语音语调，要学会按照外国人说英语的调子，在重复的一遍又一遍的模仿中，希望能把课文背下来，开了个头就能够自己接下去，要能学到书中的经典表达。这套书非常经典，上大学的时候，我们英语专业的学生一直在用在进行模仿。所以，新概念是必须推荐的。
第二套是书虫系列的英语书籍。
可以用来当做课外书看，增长知识，感受原版英语的魅力，其中还有很多国外的名著，进行删减了的，也是有分初级中级高级，很不错的，而且还有中英对照，是英文在左边页中文在右边页的，不懂的地方没有必要停下来查字典会影响看书，直接在右边找到相应的中文意思就可以了，读完一本书下来感觉还是很不错的。英语学习过程中阅读量很重要和学习中文是一个道理，多看书多揣摩语言，多接触英语的文化才能深切的感受这门语言的魅力，而且，最后会发现自己在不知不觉中进步。
如果能把这两套书认真坚持的学习下来，相信英语也会进步许多。
F. 求初中英语阅读300篇 文章 （原文+翻译）1~30篇

G. 适合初中生阅读的英语书籍推荐
适合初中生阅读的英语书籍：《爱丽丝梦游仙境》《汤姆·索亚历险记》《时间的皱纹》《漫长的冬季》《小王子》。
《爱丽丝梦游仙境》
这是一部著名经典的哪誉儿童文学作品。由英国作家刘易斯·卡罗尔创作，已被翻译成了125种语言，受到全世界孩子喜欢。这本书里面的故事荒诞，语言幽默，充满了笑话、双关语、俏皮话等有语音特色的句子。读书的过程中，可以激发孩子的想象力，也提高了语言能力。
《汤姆·索亚历险记》
这是美国语言大师马克·吐温写的儿童故事，书中主人公汤姆是一个充满探险精神的孩子。我至今还记得当初我读这本书时里的一些情节，比如汤姆是如何让小伙伴们替他刷完他因受到惩罚而不得不刷的墙。
《时间的皱纹》
美国总统布什最喜欢的青少年图书，全球销量1000万册，全球10部最优秀的青少年图书，囊括世界两大青少年文学最高奖项！ 三个怪孩子的故事，写给孩子，也写给大家。 美国总统乔治·布什的颁奖致词中曾说道：“《时间的皱纹》一书激发了人们的想象力，代表了美国的创造精神。”
《小王子》
《小王子》不仅赢得了儿童读者，也为成年人所喜爱，作品凝练的语言渗透了作者对人类及人类文明深邃的思索。它所表现出李晌段的讽刺与幻想，真情与哲理，使之成为法国乃至世界上最为著谨物名的一部童话小说。
H. 有什么适合初中生的全英文读物
适合初中生的全英文读物：《野性的呼唤》、《秘密花园》、《弗兰肯斯坦》。
1、英文小说The Call of the Wild《野性的呼唤》
这部英文小说的作者是Jack London，这部小说主要讲了一只叫巴克原的狗，他生活在美国南部加州一个温暖的山谷里，后来种种原因被卖到美国北部阿拉斯加，成了一只拉雪橇的狗。这只狗目睹了强者与弱者之间为了生存冷酷无情的明争暗斗。为了活命，它变得阴险、机智。
2、The Secret Garden《秘密花园》
《秘密花园》这部英文小说的作者是Frances Hodgson Burnett，主人公玛丽是一个任性而又孤傲的富家小公主，不幸的是一场瘟疫让她变成了一个可怜的孤儿。随后她被在古老庄园生活的亲戚收养，她和表兄在秘密花园里恢复了孩子纯真善良的天性。
3、震撼人心的英文小说Frankenstein《弗兰肯斯坦》
这部英文小说作者是Mary Shelley。主要讲述科学家弗兰肯斯坦创造了一个丑陋的怪物，怪物本来心地善良，向往幸福和爱情，但得到的却是人类的驱赶和敌意，他请求弗兰肯斯再给他创造一个同类被拒绝。他的一生几乎都在悲惨中度过，后来他不顾一切的报复人类，最终和弗兰肯斯坦同归于尽。
在长期大量阅读了各类英文刊物和著作之后，最明显的进步就是词汇量有很大提升。而且这种积累是任何其他训练都无法带来的。而且看不同的读物，可以增加不同方面的词汇量。比如平时看The Economist，The New York Times等等一些刊物的话，可以积累很多比较正式，比较具有专业性的词汇。
如果是读一些当代通俗小说，畅销书的话，可以学到很多日常生活中常用的地道表达和很多描写性的词汇。最直观的就是简简单单的一个哭，就有weep、sob、wail、bawl等等无数种不同的表达。而且在小说中，有上下文的语境，更能让人体会到单词本身所描绘的人物情绪和情态，每种哭都是带着不同情绪、动作和表情的，这是单纯地背单词所无法带来的体验。

Positive thinking is a significant element of happiness. In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive and behavioral modifications, we can all become positive thinkers. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative -- it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.
正面思考是幸福的重要组成部分。要想成为一个积极的思考者，决心和毅力必不可少。首先你要知道，每个人都能成为积极思考者。只要改善一定的认知和行为，我们都可以做到。另外一个很重要的因素就是：你不需要对那些不是很完美的事情麻木不仁或是带有悲观的色彩——只是说人生和挑战你都要积极的对待。
To become a positive thinker, these may help you:
要想成为一个积极的思考者，下面这些也许能帮到你：
1. Change your self-monitoring:
改变自我监督
Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.
与其选择做那些消极的事情，不如集中做些积极的吧。然后看看你的行为之后的效果。不是立竿见影的那种。比如，如果工作不是很喜欢，就记住你有一份工作的事实，专注如何能把情况变得好点。
2. Change your self-evaluation:
改变自我评价：
Challenge any inaccurate internal attributions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other peoples' strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.
探究那些内部失败的原因，看看自己的行为是否是没有达到严格完美的标准。如果是，就改掉那些标准，接受自己目前的不足。比如如果你总是把自己的缺点和别人的优点作比较，那么换一下，也和那些做的没有你好的人比一比吧。一般来说，人们都会更关注他们的强项而非弱点，但同时他们也会意识到缺点会有更健康的自我评价结果。
3. Change your self-reinforcement:
改变自我奖励机制：
If you have low rates of self-reward and high rates of self-punishment when it comes to certain aspects of your life, then you want to modify this. For example, think more of how far you've come, how hard you've worked, acknowledge yourself for it and then see how much further you want to go.
如果你对自己奖励很少惩罚很多，而这似乎已成为一种惯性时，是时候改变一下了。比如，多想想你已经达到哪些成就，多么努力地工作，奖励一下自己，然后看看你还能走多远。
4. Draw conclusions with evidence:
根据事实得出结论：
Look at the evidence, look at the events, look at patterns and don't base your conclusions on assumptions. For example, don't just assume someone will cheat you because they look like or in some ways act like an ex you didn't get along with. Look at other elements to see if there is any evidence for your assumption.
根据事实得出结论：看看事实，看看事件，看看形式，千万别把结论基于猜想上。比如，不要因为某些人看起来像在骗你或是表现的让你觉得不怎么舒服，就认为他们的确在骗你。看看有没有其他证据能证实你的观点吧。
5. Don't:
别把事情过分个人化：
The majority of how people interact with you is e to their own personality, strengths, and baggage and does not have as much to do with you. Pay attention to how to differentiate between different interaction signals. For example, instead of immediately getting frustrated because the waitress was a little late attending to you, think that maybe she is having a really tough day or too may tables to take care of.
大部分时候人们如何和你交往都取决于他们的个性、能力和精神状态，和你其实没多大关系。注意如何区分不同的交际信号。比如，与其为迟来的服务生感到生气，不如换位思考，想想他今天心情不好，或者实在是太忙了吧。
6. Don't do "either/or" thinking:
别做选择题
Black and white thinking based on perfectionistic thought is counterproctive. Every time a thought pops up and has words like "should" or "must," challenge it. For example, instead of saying "this should be done this way," say something like, "I prefer it this way but I am sure there are other ways to do and am willing to be open.
基于完美的'非黑即白想法反而会让你达不到预期的效果。每次出来一个想法，有着类似于“应该”“必须”这样的字眼，那么不妨改变一下吧。比如与其说“应该这么去完成”，不如说“我喜欢这个方法，但是我觉得肯定会有更好的方法能达到我们预期的效果。”
7. Don't do emotional reasoning:
不要太情绪化
This is a belief based on feeling alone without any rational thinking behind it. For example, you don't like such and such but you don't have any logical reason for not liking them.
冲动是魔鬼，这句话的确是是真理。例如，你总是没来由的不喜欢一些东西。
8. Challenge your "what if" thoughts:
改变那些“假使......”的想法：
When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case scenario and visualize a solution for it, then let go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear would not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly worried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting your performance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached to it.
遇到太多的恐慌，想想最糟糕的的情况吧，设想一下那样的场景，然后把恐惧丢到脑后。这样你就算是做足了准备，恐惧感也不会再阻碍到你对于不同情景的创造力。例如，如果你总是担心失业，十分的焦虑和害怕，甚至影响到了你的表现和幸福，那么就想想如果你真的失业了，你会如何处理，自己想一想解决方案，然后就果断抛弃这些消极的想法和恐惧吧。
At the end, positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, people who are positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.
最后，积极思考者都更善于解决问题，更好的与人交际。除此之外，那些积极思考者会更开心更知足。
