篇一:英语背诵(名著片段,英语美文)
It is a truth universally acknowledgedthat a single man inpossession of a good fortune,must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a manmay be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so wellfixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he isconsidered as the rightful property of some one or other of theirdaughters.
‘My dear Mr. Bennet,’ said his lady to him one day, ‘have youheard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
‘But it is,’ returned she; ‘for Mrs. Long has just been here, andshe told me all about it.’
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
‘Do not you want to know who has taken it?’ cried his wifeimpatiently.
‘You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.’
This was invitation enough.
‘Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfieldis taken by a young man of large fortune from the north ofEngland; that he came down on Monday to seethe place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed withMr. Morris immediatelyand some of his servants are to be in the house by theend of next week.”
“My dear Lizzy, where can you have been walking to?”was a question which Elizabeth received from Janeas soon as she entered their room,and from all theothers when they sat down to table. She had only to say in reply,that they had wandered about, till she was beyond her ownknowledge. She colored as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything else, awakened a suspicion of the truth.
The evening passed quietly, unmarked
talked by and anything laughed, extraordinary.The acknowledged lovers
theunacknowledged were silent. Darcy was not of a disposition inwhich happiness overflows in mirth; and Elizabeth, agitated andconfused, rather knew that she was happy, than felt herself to beso; for, besides the immediate embarrassment, there were otherevils before her. She anticipated what would be felt in the familywhen her situation became known; she was aware that no oneliked him but Jane; and even feared that with the others it was adislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away.
3、The little prince discovers a garden of roses
"Good morning," he said.He was standing beforea garden, all abloomwithroses.
"Good morning," said theroses.
The little prince gazed atthem. They all looked like hisflower."Who are you?" hedemanded, thunderstruck.
"We are roses," the roses said.
And he was overcome with sadness. His flower had told him that she was the onlyone of her kind in all the universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in onesingle garden!
"She would be very much annoyed," he said to himself, "if she should see that... shewould cough most dreadfully, and she would pretend that she was dying, to avoid beinglaughed at. And I should be obliged to pretend that I was nursing her back to lifeforif Idid not do that, to humble myself also, she would really allow herself to die..."
Then he went on with hisreflections: "I thought that Iwas rich, with a flower thatwas unique in all the world;and all I had was a commoose.
A common rose, andthree volcanoes that come upto my kneesandone ofthem perhaps extinct forever...that doesn’t make me a verygreat prince..."
And he lay down in the grass and cried.
4、The little prince consoles the narrator
"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for differentpeople. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no morethan little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For mybusinessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You, youalone, willhavethe stars as no one else has them"
"What are you trying to say?"
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it willbe as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... you, onlyyou, willhave stars that can laugh!"
And he laughed again.
"And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows), you will be contentthat you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me.And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... and your friends willbe properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will sayto them, ‘Yes, the stars always make me laugh!’ And they will think you are crazy. It will bea very shabby trick that I shall have played on you..."
5、Three Days to See
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time tolive. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always wewere interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his lasthours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphereof activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness shouldwe find in reviewing the past, what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should dietomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each daywith a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretchesbefore us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come.

单词记忆法
小学英语学习中单词教学是最重要的一个环节。但是由于背诵单词过程较为枯燥,在单词教学中很难调动学生的积极性,也使得学习效果不甚理想。下面总结了一些高效的小学生单词背诵方法、误区及解决办法。
1、背诵英语单词方法
常用的单词背诵方法有分类记忆、趣味记忆、结构记忆、读音记忆法等。
1)分类记忆法:把生活中最常用的名词、形容词及动词,按系统分类整理。
2)结构记忆法:英语单词也是有结构的,学生可以根据常用的前缀、后缀、词根,让您彻底掌握造词规律,单词记忆速度成等比级数增加。
3)趣味记忆法:通过趣味性教学,增加学生学习兴趣。比如内容琳琅满目、图文并茂的教科书。亦或是配合幽默漫画及中文详解,增加词汇记忆点。
4)读音记忆法:英语的读音和拼写形式是两套符号,但它们是统一的,有规律的。大多数单词的读音和拼写是一致的。
2、背诵英语单词误区
误区1:企图找到一个好的背诵方法,让自己短时间攻克单词关。
其实上面讲述的各种记忆方法,只适用一部分单词。有的单词词根词缀记忆好用,有的看单词的外观,然后发挥你的形象思维就记下了,有的单词通过把读音汉化就过目不忘。所以千万不要迷信某一种记忆方法。一些单词背诵班,都会结合多种记忆法,并根据孩子的反馈情况,变换方法。尤其像小学低年级来说,学习的单词还属于比较基本、简单的,趣味性的背诵单词方法更受用一些。对于属于较高年级的小学生来说,要增加分类记忆法、结构法等其他方法的使用。
误区2、不结合语境背单词
很多学生都会拿一本单词书,每天去背,而不是结合各种语境。所以在做阅读时候,看到单词觉得眼熟可是结合语境却不懂,这也容易让学生产生挫败感。
误区3、背诵单词与其他英语学习项目分开
很多学生都将单词与听力、阅读、作文等英语学习项目分开。单词是基础,即使背诵好多遍,如果不能实际运用,时间一长还是会忘记,也就是没有真正掌握。对于小学生来说,需要掌握的词汇并不多,建议家长可以让孩子用所学单词造简单句。
注意:很多学校都会考察大家背诵情况,一些低分的同学容易产生自卑感。教师应正面引导,对他们要有耐心,单独地进行补缺补差,让他们重新树立起学好英语的信心。
小学英语听力技巧
听力测试是小学英语学习评价的重要形式。对待听力测试除了平时加强听的训练之外,还应具备一些技巧。把握好听力技巧能增强听的判断力,达到事半功倍的效果。可以说良好的听力技巧是听力测试取得理想效果的催化剂。
英国听力教学法专家Mary Underwood根据听力理论和记忆的心理规律设计了听的三个步骤,即“听前(pre-listening)”“听时 (while-listening)”和“听后
(post-listening)”。这三个步骤概括了听力理解全部过程的思维活动,它们不仅适用于平时的听力训练,也适用于应试听力的全过程。听力理解方法和技巧实际上就是这三个步骤的具体实施。
第一步:听前——阅读题干,预估题意
如果自己对题目了如指掌,答题时就会从容不迫,有的放矢,不会因来不及读题而错过答题。因此,同学们应尽量利用“拿到试卷”到“播放听力录音”这段时间迅速预读题目
(包括题干和选项),对可能设计的内容做出粗略的猜测和推断,同时也需进行联想,即可能会出现的内容与自己具有的相关知识联系起来,思想介入到要听的内容中去。
小学英语试卷中的听力题多数是以图画的形式出现,这就要求同学们根据图片猜测图片中所蕴含的潜在信息进行预测。如图画中出现不同的人物、动物、数字、时间或动作,同学们要比较各个图画的异同,从不同点入手,预测听的内容,以便在听时抓住听取的关键信息。必要时也可以先对时间、数字等内容做一下标记以便在听录音的时候能够提高答题效率。
第二步:听时——集中精力,听看想记
听音时思想要集中,但情绪不可过度紧张。在听音中要利用预测时得到的潜在信息把握听音的重点。听录音时,仅凭大脑的短时记忆是不够的,还要借助笔记,简明扼要的记录是十分必要的,尤其在听短文或较长的对话时更是如此。但需要强调指出的是听力测试中的记录应是速记,不是听写。因此考生在听时,只需要用自己认识的,最简便、最迅速的办法(例如:字母、缩写、符号、图示、甚至中文)记录下来要点以促进有效记忆。如:"January"可以简单记成"Jan.","fifteen"可以记成"15","schoolbag"可以记成“书包”。
听录音时,既要不断输入、理解、存贮信息,还不能中断听的过程;既要集中精力听,又要注意用心记,紧扣话题把握说话者的思路,捕捉信息词,连贯记忆主要信息。对于不会作答的,立即暂时搁置,准备听新的题目。切不可因为一个词听不清,就停下来琢磨一阵,这样,等反应过来时,录音的播放已经过了好几句,弄得顾此失彼。在听音过程中,必须眼耳并用,也就是一边用耳听,一边用眼浏览选择项进行分析和归纳,做到听与浏览相结合、听与思考及记忆相结合。这一过程必须在短暂的时间内完成。
如果听音材料读两遍的话,最好第一遍听大意,边听边记,记录要简明扼要,第二遍再做题。如果第一遍没听清,可在第二遍放音时全力以赴,集中精力捕获相关信息。
第三步:听后——分析推理,修正答案
听完试题后要前后联系,利用后面听到的信息补充前面漏听或有疑问的信息,并对听前、听中的预测、判断加以推理、分析、修正,迅速整理所记下的东西,根据记忆和题目完成未做完的单词、句子和选项。听力测试通常是放在笔试之前,这就要求学生在听力测试结束之后,不应急于做笔试部分,而应凭着刚刚从录音机上听到的所有信息的短暂记忆,再次对整个听力试卷进行一次全面检查,及时修正错误的答案。
总之,听力的提高是一个循序渐进、日积月累的过程。在听力训练中,我们应该制定目标,坚持不懈,进行系统的听力训练,夯实语言基本功,掌握良好的听力技巧,认真体会,不断实践,这样就一定能提高听力水平。

让单词焕发出生命的活力
魏尔金斯(Wilkins)指出,没有语法不能很好地表达,而没有词汇则什么也不能表达。词汇教学是英语教学的一个重点。对于小学英语教学,它同样也是一个难点。小学生(特别是低年级的学生)在认识客观事物过程中,以形象思维为主,抽象思维能力还不够成熟。因此,在小学英语教学中,如何加强词汇教学的直观性、增强词汇教学的有趣味性和提高词汇教学的有效性尤为重要。本文通过让学生听、看、读、联想等多种形式教授单词,让单词焕发出生命的活力。
一、单词我爱听──听音学单词
在单词教学中,可以调动学生的多种感官来激发学生的兴趣。比如在有关颜色的单词教学中,笔者让学生听听海浪的声音,学生可能就会联想到蓝色。笔者就顺势呈现单词blue进行教学。在学习有关动物单词的时候,笔者让学生听听小猫的叫声后再呈现英文单词cat进行教学。这样的教学方式,能够调动学生多种感官,激发学生兴的趣,提高课堂上的学习效率。
二、单词我爱看──形象记单词
根据皮亚杰的认知发展理论,小学低年级孩子(年龄大概在7—10岁),正处于前运算阶段到具体运算阶段时期过渡时期。在此期间他们具体运算思维还不能离开具体事物的表象,要以具体表象为支柱。因此,在进行单词教学时,对单词进行一些加工或辅助简笔画,可以加深学生对单词的印象。笔者在教授文具单词 pencil(铅笔)时,将单词中最后一个字母“l”加工成铅笔的形状,教授单词ruler时,将中间字母“l”加工成尺子的形状。这样学生对新单词的印象就非常深刻了。再比如教授五官类单词时,笔者将新授单词eye的两个“e”都加上一根眉毛,学生就会牢牢记住这个单词,而不会和ear混淆。在教授职业类单词时,笔者适当地通过一些简笔画教授单词:给医生画一个带有十字架的医生帽,给学生画一个书包,给教师画一幅眼镜等。将一个一个的单词形象化后,单词就富有了生命,富有了活力,学生在课堂上也收获不少。
三、单词我爱我玩──情境学单词
在一定的情境中教授单词,学生对单词的印象会更加深刻。因为在情景教学中,教师通过创设或模拟一些场景,用直观的手段使抽象的知识具体化、形象化,使学生从形象的感知达到抽象的理性的顿悟。比如在有关颜色red, blue, yellow, black, white, green的教学中,笔者创设了神秘花园的情境。笔者带领学生乘着彩虹火车(有关颜色的新单词整体呈现)来到了神秘花园。在神秘花园中遇上了一个神奇的苹果树,树上长出了不同颜色的苹果(逐步呈现新单词black apple, white apple, green apple)。学生摘完苹果后开心地乘着彩虹火车(复习本节课所学新
单词)离开神秘花园。在神秘花园的情景创设中,学生有一种身临其境的感觉。这样不仅激发了学生的兴趣,还打开了学生的想象力。当神秘的苹果树上长出白色苹果时,有些学生说那是巧克力味的苹果,有些学生说那是牛奶味的苹果。学生的想象力和兴趣在那一刻被激发了。
四、单词我爱读──故事学单词
“故事是儿童的第一大需要。”以故事为载体,进行生动活泼的英语单词教学,不仅能唤起学生学习单词的兴趣,而且还可以让学生在故事的语境中体验单词。在字母O、P、Q及以此三个字母为首的单词:ok, orange, peach, pear, queen和quiet的教学设计中,笔者以学生熟悉的三只小猪(three little pigs)引入,同时作为本节课将展开的新故事的主人公。三只小猪分别种了三种不同的水果(教授orange, peach, pear和字母O、P),当三只小猪争吵着自己种的水果是最好的时候,请他们保持安静(quiet教学)并带着自己的水果去见女皇(queen和字母q的教学),让女皇品尝。故事以女皇让三只小猪一起分享所有的水果并一起唱歌(将所学单词整合,在chant中巩固复习)作为快乐的结局。本堂课单词的呈现随着三只小猪故事的展开而展开,教师将新单词的呈现化为无痕,学生在读故事中也不知不自觉地掌握了新单词。教师教得轻松,学生学得有趣。
五、单词我爱猜──思维学单词
小学低年级学生对事物具有强烈的好奇心,学生的思维也非常活跃。采用联想、谜语等方法教授单词可打开学生的思维。在教授动物类单词panda(熊猫)时,笔者先呈现竹子,学生就说出熊猫后就紧跟着呈现英文panda。呈现单词rabbit(兔子)时,用谜语(It has long ears and red eyes.)引出。学生经过一定的思考,猜出是兔子。笔者顺势呈现新单词rabbit进行教学。再比如教授水果类单词时,笔者通过联系学生的生活经验来打开学生的思维,从而达到有效有趣的单词教学目的。如教授peach(桃子)时,笔者呈现给学生一张桃花照片,让学生猜它会长出什么水果。学生结合自己的生活经验,经过一定的思考做出不同的回答后,笔者再呈现新单词peach。再比如教授watermelon(西瓜)时,笔者给学生展示一些水果核,从西瓜籽引到西瓜。然后教授watermelon。通过联系学生的生活来打开学生的思维,从而达到有效有趣学习单词的教学目的。
教育家苏霍姆林斯基说:“教师如果不想方设法使学生产生情绪高昂和智力振奋的内心状态,而只是不动感情的脑力劳动,就会带来疲倦。”而通过各种教学形式来教授单词,教师可以让英语单词焕发出生命的活力,学生也可以更有效、有趣地掌握单词。

three passions 三种激情 -----罗素
《三种激情》是选自《伯特兰·罗素自传》的一篇优秀散文。它既是作者心灵的抒发,也是生命体验的总结。作者以深刻的感悟和敏锐的目光,分析了人生中的三种激情,即对爱的渴望,对知识的追求和对人类苦难的同情。对爱的渴望,使人欣喜若狂,既能解除孤独,又能发现美好的未来。对知识的追求,使人理解人心,了解宇宙,掌握科学。爱和知识把人引向天堂般的境界,而对人类的同情之心又使人回到苦难深重的人间。作者认为这就是人生,值得为此再活一次的人生。这篇散文似乎信手拈来,但却耐人寻味。充满激情,充满感慨,充满智慧,情文并茂,逻辑性和感染力极强。
伯特兰·罗素(bertrand russell,1872-1970)是英国声誉卓著,影响深远的哲学家、数学家、逻辑学家和散文家。他生于威尔士的特莱雷克,就读于剑桥三一学院,在其漫长的一生中完成了40余部著作,涉及哲学、数学、伦理、社会、教育、历史、宗教及政治等许多领域。他早年的成就主要在数学和逻辑学,中年关注伦理道德、教育、政治,激励和启发富有进取精神的人。在1921年曾来中国,在北京大学作过讲座。他在1950年荣获诺贝尔文学奖。在政治上,他反对侵略战争,主张和平,晚年参加反战示威。主要著作有《数学原理》、《哲学大纲》、《教育与美好生活》、《罗素自传》三卷本。
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 deep 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 tried to apprehend the pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flu.
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. echoesek?u 重复 of cries of pain reverberate riv?:b?reit 回响in my heart. children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated 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?li:vieit减轻 the 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.
三种激情 -----罗素
三种激情虽然简单,却异常强烈,它们统治着我的生命,那便是:对爱的渴望,对知识的追求,以及对人类苦难的难以承受的同情。这三种激情像变化莫测的狂风任意地把我刮来刮去,把我刮入痛苦的深海,到了绝望的边缘。
我曾经寻找爱,首先是因为它能使我欣喜若狂——这种喜悦之情如此强烈,使我常常宁愿为这几个小时的愉悦而牺牲生命中的其他一切。我寻求爱,其次是因为爱能解除孤独——在这种可怕的孤独中,一颗颤抖的良心在世界的边缘,注视着下面冰凉、毫无生气、望不见底的深渊。我寻求爱还因为在爱的融合中,我能以某种神秘的图像看到曾被圣人和诗人想象过的天堂里未来的景象。这就是我所追求的东西,虽然这似乎对于人类的生命来说过于完美,但这确实是我最终发现的东西。 我怀着同样的激情去寻找知识,我曾渴望着理解人心,我曾渴望知道为何星星会闪烁,我还企图弄懂毕达哥拉斯所谓的用数字控制变化的力量,但在这方面,我只知道一点点。
爱的力量和知识的力量引我接近天堂,但同情之心往往又把我拉回大地。痛苦的哭泣回响、震荡在我的心中。饥饿的儿童,被压迫、受折磨的人们,成为儿孙们讨厌的包袱的、无助的老人们,充斥着整个世界的孤独的气氛,贫穷和苦难,所有这一切都是对人类生活原本该具有的样子所作的讽刺。我渴望消除一切邪恶,但我办不到,因为我自己也处于苦难之中。 这就是我的生活,我认为值得一过。而且,如果有第二次机会,我将乐意地再过一次。 relish the moment 拥抱今天
