Step1. Question Discussing for Warming-up (10 minutes)

Step2. Background Information (40 minutes)

1. Naguib Mahfouz——Education & Background(纳吉布?马福兹所受教育和一般背景)

Naguib Mahfouz was born on the 11th Dec. 1911 in an old quarter of Cairo, the youngest son of a merchant. He studied philosophy at King Faud I (now Cairo) University, graduating in 1934. He worked in university administration and then in 1939 he worked for the Mini-stry of Islamic Affairs. He was later Head of the State Cinema Organisation at the Ministry of Culture. He also worked as a journalist. Although widely translated, his works are not

available in most Middle Eastern countries because of his support of Sadat's Camp David initiative. In 1994 he survived an assassination attempt by Islamic extremists. He is married, has two daughters and lives in Cairo.He died on Aug. 30, 2006.

Naguib Mahfouz —— important works(纳吉布?马福兹的主要著作)

●Naguib Mahfouz was the first Arab to win the Nobel prize for literature, in 1988. He has

been described as “a Dickens of the Cairo cafés ”and “the Balzac of Egypt”.

●He is now the author of no fewer than 30 novels, more than 100 short stories, and more than

200 articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world.

●Mahfouz began writing when he was 17. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten

more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for

several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of The Cairo Trilogy in 1957 made him famous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional

urban life.

●Works of his second writing period:

The Children of Gebelawi (1959)

The Thief and the Dogs (1961)

Autumn Quail (1962)

Small Talk on the Nile (1966)

Miramar (1967)

several collections of short stories.

3. Naguib Mahfouz —— how he pictures the world(作者笔下的世界:无尽的拼搏与悲剧

的人生)

The picture of the world as it emerges from the bulk of Mahfouz's work is very gloomy indeed, though not completely despondent. It shows that the author's social utopia is far from being realized. Mahfouz seems to conceive of time as a metaphysical force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the bringer of change, and change as a very painful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the final blow of death.

To sum up, in Mahfouz's dark tapestry of the world there are only two bright spots. These consists of man's continuing struggle for equality on the one hand and the promise of

scientific progress on the other; meanwhile, life is a tragedy.

Step3. Text Appreciation (50 minutes)

1. Structure of the text (10 minutes)

The text can be conveniently divided into three parts. In the first part (para.1-7), we learn about the boy‘s misgivings about school. He found it hard to be away from home and mom, and thought school was punishment. The second part (para.8-16) describes how the boy felt about school. He found that life at school was rich and colorful in many ways, although it also required discipline and hard work. In the last part of the text, the boy walked out of the school to find that the outside world had changed beyond measure and that he had grown into an old man.

2. How to appreciate literature (15 minutes)

Plot of the story:

Setting of the story:

3) Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others.

5) Today you truly begin life.

B From the description between Para.8 and Para.16, we can see different aspects of school life.

had changed beyond measure. How might he feel about the changes? List exact words that support your choice.

D.After-class thinking

After reading the story, do you feel emotionally or spiritually touched? Why or why not?

Step4. Writing devices(30 minutes)

“Why school?” I asked my father. e.g.

A: Headmaster: We want you to go and tell the boy‘s parents the news.

B: Teacher: Why me?

Father: We‘ll go to Tianjin this weekend.

Daughter: What for?/ Why this weekend?/Why Tianjin?

2.Rhetorical question(修辞疑问句)

What good is a promise for an unemployed worker?

Does nothing ever worry you?

Please give more examples.

3. Inverted sentences(倒装句)

8.)Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance.:

nothing but: only

We would have to do our best and keep working very hard until we finished school. This is what I imagined our school days would be like. Or

The kind of life that was waiting for us at school would be full of exertion, struggle and

perseverance.

3. Daily Report --------Tell a story :Tell a story according to the pictures and the key words.

Step2. Culture Background

1. About the author:

Pete Hamill was born in Brooklyn, N. Y. in 1935. He is the oldest of seven children of Irish immigrants from Belfast, Northern Ireland and attended

Catholic schools as a child. He left school at 16 to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a worker, and then went on to the United States Navy. While serving in the Navy, he completed his high school education. Then, using the educational benefits of the G.I. Bill of Rights, he attended Mexico City College in 1956-1957, studying painting and writing.

For several years, he worked as a graphic designer, while studying at Pratt Institute. Then in 1960, he went to work as a reporter for the New York Post. A long career in journalism followed. He has been a columnist for the New York Post, the Daily News, and New York Newsday, and has won many journalistic awards. As a journalist, he has covered wars in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Lebanon and Northern Ireland. He has also covered murders, crime, the police, along with the great domestic disturbances of the 1960s. His work has also been published in all the major magazines, including Esquire, New York, the New York Times Magazine; he is currently on the staff of the New Yorker.

Since the 1950s, he has had a continuing interest in Mexico, living there for extended periods, visiting every year. For six months in 1986, he served as editor of the Mexico City News. He has one additional distinction: he has been editor-in-chief of both the New York Post and the New York Daily News.

At the same time, Hamill has pursued a career as a fiction writer, producing 8 novels and 2 collections of short stories. His 1997 novel, Snow in August, was on the New York Times bestseller list for four months, and has been published in more than a dozen foreign editions. His memoir, A Drinking Life, was on the same New York Times list for 13 weeks. He has published 2 collections of his journalism, a book about the relationship of tools to art, and a book about New York City, along with Why Sinatra Matters, an extended essay on the music of the late singer and the social forces that made his work possible.

Hamill is married to the Japanese journalist, Fukiko Aoki. He has two grown daughters, one a poet, the other a photographer for the Arizona Republic in Phoenix. He and his wife divide their time between New York and Cuernavaca, Mexico.

2. About social background

The text is based on ―Yellow Ribbon‖, a story written in the 1960‘s by Pete Hamill, a successful American journalist and author. The story was made into a Japanese movie in 1977in which the song ―Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree‖ became quite popular in the United States.The 1960‘s—1970‘s was a very trying time for the American people, as the country was deeply troubled by its involvement in the Vietnam War. It was a time when such traditional values as human sympathy, understanding, trust and love seemed to be losing out. Through the experience of a former prisoner and his journey with a group of young people, the story seemed t express a strong desire for ―going home‖, where such goof old values are to be found again.

Step4. Writing Skills

1. Description and comparison

Present Participle--------------Young people:_lively, joyful, active

-dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides

-waiting for the approach of the great oak tree

-screaming and shouting and crying, doing … ...

Past participle------------- Vingo :_restrained, nervous, passive.

-Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree

-dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit

-frozen into complete silence

-He sat rooted in his seat

2. if adverbial clauses:

Step5. Language understanding

A. Sentence paraphrase & appreciation

1. They were dreaming of golden beaches and tides of the sea as the grey, cold spring of New

York vanished behind them

It was a grey, cold day in spring. As the bus left New York City, these young people were thinking about what they would enjoy in Florida--- the golden beaches and tides of the sea.

2.He sat in front of the young people, his dusty face masking his age, dressed in a plain

brown suit that did not fit him.

He sat in front of the young people. You could hardly tell how old he was because his face was covered with dust.

dressed in a …this past participle phrase is used to tell the reader more about the subject of the sentence “he”

3. His fingers were stained from cigarettes…

His fingers were yellow because he had smoked a lot.

4. You going that far?

Are you going as far as Florida? In conversation, elliptical sentences are often used.

Here “are” is omitted.

It is a long journey from New York City to Florida. In between are New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.

5.You live there?

When we think the answer is likely to be “yes”, we can turn a statement into a question by using the rising tone in speaking and a question mark in writing.

6.He … smoked nervously, as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches.

Probably he started smoking because what the young people were talking about reminded him of something he had tried to forget, or because, as he got nearer and nearer to his home, he became more and more nervous. He was completely absorbed in his own thoughts.

7.I understand if you can‘t stay married to me

If you want to divorce me, I’ll understand---you have every reason to do so

Vingo used a euphemism--- an indirect phrase “can’t stay married to me” to refer to the more embarrassing and unpleasant term “divorce me”..

8. Get a new guy---she‘s a wonderful woman, really something---and forgive about me.

The part of the sentence put in between the two dashed is added to she speech for Vingo to give his opinion of his wife. This part is called a parenthesis.

9.I told her she didn‘t have to write to me or anything, and she didn‘t. Not for three-and-a-half

years.

I told her she didn’t have to write to me or keep in touch with me in any other way. And

she didn’t. I didn’t hear from her or about her for three and a half years when I was in jail.

10.If she didn‘t want me, forge t it, no ribbon and I‘d understand and keep going on through.

If she couldn’t forgive me, she shouldn’t bother about the ribbon and I would understand her feelings and wouldn’t get off the bus when it reached the to wn.

11. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con‘s mask, as if fortifying himself

against still another disappointment.

Vingo moved his eyes away from the window, and his face again became expressionless as if he was trying to find the courage to face another possible blow, another disappointment in his life.

12. Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting

and crying, doing small dances, shaking clenched fists in triumph and exaltation. All except Vingo.

Then all of a sudden, all the young people left their seats and began doing all sorts of things they could think of to express their happiness and excitement. Vingo alone remained still.

Ⅵ教学反思

老橡树上的黄丝带(Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree)

1971年10月14日《纽约邮报》刊登了一个故事,故事的名字叫《回家》(Going Home):长途车上坐着一位沉默不语的男子,在同车的年轻游客的盘问下终于开了口。原来他刚从监狱出来,释放前曾写信给妻子:如果她已另有归宿,他也不责怪她;如果她还爱着他,愿意他回去,就在镇口的老橡树上系一根黄丝带;如果没有黄丝带,他就会随车而去,永远不会去打扰她……汽车快到目的地

了,车上的人们都坐在靠窗户的位上往外看,只有这位男子不敢张望,他害怕迎面而来的可能是失望……突然间,全车的人都沸腾起来:远远望去,镇口的老橡树上挂了几十上百条黄丝带,这些黄丝带像欢迎的旗帜迎风飘扬……

这个故事刊出不久,很快就出现了这首不朽的音乐作品。《现代大学英语精读》中也收录这篇文章,这个动人的故事被做成了歌曲,伴着歌声这个故事也传遍了全世界。黄丝带也成了美国―欢迎被囚禁的人重获自由‖的标志。

老橡树上的黄丝带(Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree)歌词

I'm coming home I've done my time*(1)

Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free

Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me

If you still want me

Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

It's been three long years do you still want me

If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree

I'll stay on the bus forget about us put the blame on me*(2)

If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Bus driver please look for me

'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see

I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key

A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free

I wrote and tell her please

Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

It's been three long years do you still want me

If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree

I'll stay on the bus forget about us put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Now the whole damn bus is cheering

And I can't believe I see

A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree I'm coming home

注释 (1).I've done my time:我已刑满了(2).put the blame on me:将过错都归于我系条黄丝带在老橡树上

我的刑期已满,正要赶回家

我必须知道有哪些东西还属于我

若你收到了我的信

告诉你我将重获自由

那么,你知道该怎么做

如果你还要我的话

在老橡树上系条黄丝带

漫长的三年过去了

你还要我吗

如果我看见老橡树上没有系黄丝带的话

我会留在巴士上,忘了我俩的过去

责怪我自己

如果我看见老橡树上没有系黄丝带的话

司机先生,请帮我看一下

因为我无法承受即将看到的

我其实仍在监牢

只有吾爱握有钥匙

我需要的仅是黄丝带,即可将我释放

我已写信告诉过她

现在,整车的乘客都在欢呼

我无法相信我所看到的--------

老橡树上挂满了上百条的黄丝带!

这首歌曲的内容,是一则发生在美国的真实故事.故事的主角是一位因倒闭破产而被判服刑三年的男子,在出狱前夕,他写了一封信给在乔治亚州的妻子,问她是否还愿意接纳他,如果愿意的话,便在

他出狱当天,在家门前那棵老橡树上系上一条黄丝带,如果答案是否的话,也就是他没有看到黄丝带的话,他会识趣的离开.

在返家的公车上,男主角的心里七上八下,既期待又怕受伤害,在即将到家的时候,他甚至不敢睁开眼睛,而恳求公车司机帮他打探结果………………终于,谜底揭晓了,只听见公车司机和车上所有的乘客同

声为他欢呼,他睁开双眼,竟然看到老橡树上数以百计的黄丝带在风中飞舞,顿时感动得热泪盈眶!

这首歌曾在1973年登上美国排行榜四周冠军,后来并在美国成为一种风俗:在家门前的树上系上黄

丝带,以欢迎久别归来的亲人。

课文释义:

I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I had met in New York‘s Greenwich Village. Probably the story is one of those mysterious bits of folklore that reappear every few years, to be told a new in one form or another. However, I still like to think that it really did happen, somewhere, sometime. 几年

前我在纽约的格林尼治村从一位遇到的姑娘那儿第一次听到这个故事。它也许是那种隔几年就会改头换面地被重新传播一次的神奇的民间传说。然而我仍然愿意想象它是个某地某时真正发生过的事。

1. About the Author

?Pira Sudham spent his childhood in the rice fields on the Korat P lateau, helping his parents and tending a herd of buffaloes until he went to Bangkok at the age of fourteen to be a servant to monks in a Buddhist temple where he was also admitted to a school.

?To support himself through high school and the first year at the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, he sold souvenirs to tourists until he won a New Zealand government scholarship to study English literature at Auckland University and later at Victoria University, Wellington.

?His writings began to appear in literary publications in New Zealand, Hong Kong and the United States before his first book, Siamese Drama (entitled Tales of Thailand in the latest editions) was published in 1983, followed by People of Esarn in 1987.

?He has lived for over ten years in Australia and the United Kingdom, where he wrote Monsoon Country (1988), and its sequel, The Force of Karma (2002).

?Pira Sudham‘s literary works are concerned with social-economic-political changes occurring in Thailand. Widely read and highly acclaimed, his books have given an expedient voice to the poor and the voiceless.

?Considered Thailand's leading English language writer, he was nominated for the 1990 Nobel prize for literature.

2. About the Author’s Works

Monsoon Country

Depicts the problems of social transition in present day Thailand and gives insights into

Thai life in the rural northeast. Pira Sudham's novel Monsoon Country is set in Thailand,

England and Germany to convey the cultural tension between the East and the West, the

clashes between the new powers and the old values, covering the span

of 25 years of the socio-economic and political changes occurring in Thailand.

The Force of Karma

This sequel to Monsoon Country covers tumultuous years of the economic crisis, the political upheavals and the massacre of May 1992, right up to the beginning of the year

2002. In The Force of Karma, the characters‘ fellowship, the Operation Norma, the damaged ecology, the inheritance, the sinister allegations of drug trading and the force of destiny have been intricately woven.

People of Esarn

Pira Sudham conveys the inner voices of his subjects regardless of how illiterate, timid and insignificant they seem in their daily lives. Their simplicity and sensitivity come through his direct and clear prose, yet moving and touching. He writes with understanding and

compassion for his people. Foreign writers writing about the Thai people look at Thailand

from the outside, but Pira Sudham writes about his people and country as seen from the inside.

This is one of the things that makes them so fascinating.

Tales of Thailand

Out of the relocation of millions of people in the path of dam constructions and eucalyptus

plantations, the suppression of wages and the price of agricultural produce, the forceful drive to gain more land to grow eucalyptus trees, the corruption, prostitution, child trade, slave

labour, the horror of the Thailand-Burma Death Railway during the World War II, the

economic crisis in July 1997, the war to win the people in impoverished Esarn in the seventies and the daily grind in the Mother of Gridlock - Bangkok come tales of hope and tales of woe, tales of acceptance and tales of the struggle for survival that become Tales of Thailand, a

book by Pira Sudham.

3.Others’ Comments:

---―Pira Sudham has given a voice to the poor of Thailand.‖

---―Pira Sudham is undoubtedly one of the foremost Thai writers of today, a formidable

vivisector to reveal the hidden aspects of Thai society.‖

Pira Sudham's Own Words:

---"If I had not left my village then, I would have been subject, like most villagers, to the

mercy of nature: floods, drought, disease, ignorance and scarcity. With endurance, I would

have accepted them as my own fate, as something I cannot go against in this life."

--- "In my mind I carry memories of childhood, of life in villages, much as a pregnant woman carrying a child. Every day these images grow, and I know that one day I shall have to give birth to them through the medium of writing. Besides, I don't want people in our villages, so

far removed from other peoples because of distance and poverty, to be born, suffer and to die in vain."

Step3. Text Appreciation

III. Further discussion

Step4. Writing devices

1.Simile:a simile is a brief comparison , usually introduced by the preposition ―like‖ or the conjunction ―as‖, and etc.

A simile consists of two parts: tenor and vehicle. The tenor is the primary subject; the vehicle is the thing to which the main subject is compared to.

things explicitly--- that is , it states literally that X is like Y. A metaphor compares things implicitly. Read literally, it does not state that things are alike; it says that they are the same

Can you find some examples of the usage of simile in the text?

1) Sometimes, they get bullied and insulted, and it is like knife piercing my heart.

It is no longer fertile, bleeding year after year, and like us getting old and exhausted. When each of them has a pair of jeans, they are off like birds on the wing.

Step5. Language Understanding

Ⅰ.Sentence Paraphrase

1. My husband moved into our house as is the way with us in Esarn.

(When we got married) my husband came to live in our house. It was the tradition here in Esarn that the bridegroom should come to live with the bride‘s family.

2.… and tell us that they are doing well. I know this is not always true.

… although they always tell us that everything is fine with them. I know they also have difficulties and problems. They just do not tell us because they don‘t want us to worry.

3.It’s easier for my husband . He has ears which don’t hear, a mouth which doesn’t speak, and eyes that don’t see.

News about my children‘s problems doesn‘t make my husband as sad. He doesn‘t bother about what is happening around us and to our children. He never says anything about them. ?4.All of them remain my children in spite of their long absence.

Although they are often away for a long time, I love and care about them as always because they are my children.

5.In my day, if I were to put on a pair of trousers like they do now, lightning would strike me. When I was young, I surely would be punished by God if I ever wore the kind of trousers they wear today.

6.?My eyes do see--- they see more than they should. My ears do hear---they hear more than is good for me.

---I‘m not what my wife says I am. I do see and hear--- I see and hear too much evil, too many ugly and terrible things, things that I wish I did not have to see and hear. And this is not good for me.

My children grew up and had happy days on this land. But this couldn‘t prevent them from leaving or making them return.

Step2. Background Information

Ⅰ.About the author

Alexander Calandra is now Professor of Emeritus of Physical Sciences at Washington University in St. Kouis, Missouri. The present text is adapted from ―Angels on the Head of Pin: A Modern Parable‖ which first appeared in Saturday Review, Dec.21, 1968 and has, since then, become a classic (or an often quoted) case on the problems of American education. The title of the text ―Angels on a Pin‖ comes from the much-talked about question: ―How many angels can dance o n the head of a pin?‖, which is used to ridicule those people who asked meaningless questions about the Bible in the Middle Ages. It is also used ironically to describe the kind of questions that philosophers ponder.

现代大学英语精读1课本内容及翻译

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2.密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”,而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”,而“获悉某

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to
