Aristotle Got It Right

David Cameron

Well-being, not just wealth, should mark the progress of our societies. It is hard to escape the fact that in developed societies, despite progress, innovation and prosperity, there is nothing not quite right. In some cases, it is hard for people to put a finger on it: a feeling of emptiness and not belonging, a lack of defined relationships and solid social structures. In other respects, it is really quantifiable:rates of drug abuse, violent crime and depression and suicide are rocketing. Why are we unhappy?It seems that the Enlightenment brought forth unparalleled liberty in economic,social and political life, but we are now undergoing a midlife crisis.

The politics of happiness is nothing new. In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle said that eudaimonia, or happiness , is the goal of life. But for me , the person who brings the great conundrum of personal happiness is Robert Kennedy . In a beautiful1y crafted speech , he said what "makes life worthwhile" is "the health of our children ,the quality of their education, the joy of their play,""the strength of our marriages… our devotion to our country"and our "wit ... wisdom and courage." And he pointed out that none of these could be measured by gross national product.

Nor could we be surprised by the politics of happiness. Ask people how they are, and they will answer in terms of their family life, community life and work life, rather than just what they are paid.

Despite this , it is a notoriously difficult subject for politicians to grasp. One reason is that happiness and well-being are generally not well served by statistical analysis. Politicians, obsessed with inputs and outputs , targets and controls, are flummoxed by immeasurable concepts such as the value people place on spending time with their families. Another reason ,which is related , is that electoral cycles lend themselves to a culture of short-termism, with a need for immediate, quantifiable measurements and results.

ne suc measurement is . n many ways increasing t is as een t e raison dêtre for many center-right political parties since the 1980s. Back then, many developed economics were in a state of economic malaise, with persistently high inflation and unemployment. We needed something to reverse this stagnation and put us back onto the path of prosperity. Thankfully, we got that.

Today we need to be just as revolutionary to put us back on track to social prosperity: to respond to that yearning for happiness. That is why I have been arguing in Britain that we need to refocus our energies on GWB—general well-being. It means recognizing the social,cultural and moral factors that give true meaning to our lives. In particular, it means focusìng on a sustainable environment and building stronger societies. And yes, it also means recognizing that there is more to life than money: indeed, that quality of life means more than the quantity of money.

I thìnk the center-right can be the champions of this cause. The center-left never really get the well-being agenda because they treat indivìduals as units of account. And they find it difficult to understand how it cannot be delivered simply by the push of a legislator's pen.

Instead , the politics of well-being is a polìtics that needs to be founded on sharing responsibility. of course, government must take its own responsibilities. But that needs to be part of a wider cultural change: a cultural change that will occurs as a consequence of legislation, leadership and social change.

What' s the government's role? It is to show leadership and set the framework. Showing leadership means leading the change in the many areas that impact on well-being. For example, everyone would agree that spending more time with family is crucial to happiness . Here governments should be pioneers of flexible working with public-sector employees.

Setting the right framework means creating incentives and removing barriers to remodel the context within which the whole of society makes choices. T ake the environment for example. Everyone would agree that a cleaner local environment would enhance our well-being. By setting a framework that creates a price for carbon in our economy and encourages green innovation, the government can help people make the better choice.

Ultimately, society's happiness requires us all to play our part. Indeed, playing our part is part of being happy. That is why we need a revolution in responsibility. Corporate responsibility means businesses taking a provocative role, and taking account of their employees' lives. Civic responsibility means giving power back to local government, community organizations and social enterprises so they can formulate local solutions to local problems. And personal responsibility means we all do our bit in cleaning up our local environment or participating in local politics.

Neil Browne, professor of economics at Bowling Green State University, recently wrote an article: " If Markets Are So Wonderful , Why Can't I Find Friends at the Store ?" It is not that markets are bad or that we are all doomed to a life of perpetual unhappiness. Rather, given our advances in terms of political freedom, economic enterprise and cultural ingenuity, life could, and should, be more satisfying. That is why focusing on general well-being could be the big, defining political concept of the 21st century. And by recognizing the responsibility every

section of society has, we also have the means to enhance it.

亚里士多德是对的

大卫·卡梅隆

人们身心的健康与快乐,并非财富,才是我们社会进步的标志。

人们很难摆脱这样一种事实:在发达的社会,尽管社会进步,改革日新月异,物质富足,

却总觉得有些事情不大对劲。有时候,人们难以明确地指出到底为何:空虚,没有归属感,没有稳定明确的人际关系以及稳固的社会结构。在其他方面,问题可以明确量化地表述:滥用毒品、暴力犯罪、经济萧条以及自杀身亡的比率在急剧增加。我们为何如此不快乐?启蒙运动带给我们无可比拟的经济、社会以及政治生活的自由,而我们现在正经受着“中年”危机。

探讨幸福的内涵古已有乏。在其所著的《尼各马科伦理学》一书中,亚里士多德曾指出:幸福是人生的目标。可我以为,将个人幸福这一难趣谈得沸沸扬扬的是罗伯特·肯尼迪。在他言辞精妙的演讲中,他阐述道:使“生活有意义”的是“孩子们的健康,儿童的教育质量以及他们玩耍游戏的快乐”是“我们稳固的婚姻……对祖国的热爱与忠诚”,是我们的“睿

智……英明与勇气”。他还指出,这一切没有一样能够用国民生产总值来衡量。

我们也不会对幸福内涵感到惊讶,若问人们近况如何,他们会谈到家庭、工作以及所处社区的情况,而不是回答自己挣多少工资。

即使这样,政治家们还是难以完全理解这一众所周知的难题——幸福的确切内涵。其中之一的原因是幸福与健康通常都不能通过统计分析来表示。政治家们满脑子的投入与产出、目标与调控,而对于诸如人们看多看重与家人共度时光之类的、无法用数字测量的概念,他们往往感到困惑不已。另一与之相关的原因是:一轮轮的竞选让他们置身于急功近利的氛围,期待立竿见影的、量化的测量手段与结果。

测量手段之一即是GDP(国内生产总值)。自1980年以来,在许多方面,增加GDP一直是许多中—右派政党们的党派存在的理由。当时,许多发达经济行业处于经济病态,通货膨胀率与失业率持续居高不下。我们需要采取措施来扭转这种停滞的局面,走向通往繁荣之路。幸运的是,我们找到了解决问题的方法。

今天,为了重新回到社会繁荣富强的轨道上我们需要如同当时一样彻底改变思想,即

积极地响应对幸福的追求。这也是我在英国一直强调需要将精力集中于GWB(general well—being)即国民健康总值的原因。这意味着认可社会、文化、道德等赋予我们生活真实意义的因素。尤其意味着我们将集中于环境的可持续发展,建立更强大的社会体系。这也意味着认可我们生活中有比金钱更重要的:确实,生活的质量绝不仅仅取决于金钱的数量。

我认为中—右派政党能够成为胜任此项事业的先驱。而中—左派政党将永远不会把人们的身心健康列入党派纲领议程,因为他们将个人看作记账单位。他们难以理解的是,为何通过立法也不能实现个人的身心健康。

以人们身心健康为中心的政冶需要各方人士各尽其责方能实现,而非仅仅通过立法。当然,政府也需承担应尽的职责。这需要更广泛的丈化变革:在立法、领导方式以及社会等各方面变革之后,才能引起这场大变革。

那么,政府的职责是什么?政府应尽领导职责,并制定规章制度。应尽领导职责是指在

能影响人们身心健康的各个领域领导变革。比如说,人人都一致认为与家人共度更多时间是

人们幸福的关键。那么在这方面,政府应当率先实行公务员灵活机动的工作时间。

制定恰当的规章制度是指创设激励机制并排除障碍来重建整个社会体系,这样,社会的各个层面都能依此做出适当选择。以环境为例,人人都认为当地更洁净的环境会有助于改善人们的身心健康。通过订立为碳付出代价并鼓励环保创新改革这样的规章制度,政府就能帮助人们做出更好的选择。

归根结底,全社会的幸福需要每个人都尽一份力。实际上,每个人在尽力的同时也会感

受快乐。这就是我们需要在责任观念上变革的原因。公司的职责是指企业公司发挥积极的作用,真正考虑到员工的生活。城市职责是指将权力返还给当地政府、社区机构以及社会团体以便他们能因地制宜解决当地问题。个人职责是指每人各尽其能,无论是清洁当地环境,还是参与当地政治。

Bowling Green州立大学经济学教授耐尔·布朗最近写了篇文章,题为:“倘若市场上

物品如此丰富,为何不见有‘朋友’出售?”这并非市场物资缺乏或我们注定永生不会快乐。相反,既然我们政治上已经更加自由,经济更加繁荣发展,文化更加百花齐放,那么我们的生活能够并且应当更令人满意。因此,21世纪,致力于GWB的建设能成为一项重大的日益凸现的政治概念。我们在意识到社会的方方面面的责任的同时,也有办法来增强这些责任。

Finding Your True Calling

Brian Tracy

The very worst use of time in life is to stay for months or years at a job for which you are completely unsuited. However, a great number of people spend their whole lives doing something during the week so that they can somehow find something enjoyable to do on the weekend.

In every case, these are men and women with very little future before them. They look upon their jobs as a form of drudgery, a penance they have to pay in order to enjoy the rest of their lives. And because of this attitude, they will seldom advance or be promoted. They will stay pretty much at the same level , moving from job to job, and always wondering why other people seem to live the "good life" while they feel they are living lives of quiet desperation.

People who are not successful and happy in their work are those who have not taken the time to sit down and deal honestly and openly with themselves. They have not looked deep within themselves to recognize the inner treasures of talent and ability that they have demonstrated throughout their lives. They are content to do work that other people design and to achieve goals that other people set.

Over time, people who are not following their true calling begin to feel helpless. They feel that there is nothing they can do to change things. Their income rises enough only to meet their expenditures and they worry about money much of the time. The future looks to them to be very much the same as the past. But this is not for you!

Your aim in life is to become everything you are capable of becoming, to enjoy full self-expression of your talents and abilities. Your job is to develop yourself to the point at which every day is a source of joy and satisfaction, and you have so many interesting things to do that you do not have enough time to do them. Your mission is to continually hold up a mirror to yourself and refuse to work at anything that is not an expression of everything that is good and capable within you.

Success comes from being excellent at what you do. The market pays excellent rewards only for excellent performance. It pays average rewards for average performance and below average rewards—and insecurity—for below-average performance.

But excellence is a journey, not a destination. You never really get there.

You can never relax. The market is always changing, and what constitutes excellence today will be different tomorrow and very different next year and the year after.

All really successful and happy people know in their hearts that they are very good at what they do. If you are doing what you really enjoy or love, if you are following your true calling, you will know because of your attitude toward excellence.

When you find your true calling, you will have a continuous desire to leam more about it. A person who is not driven to leam more about his field is a person who is in the wrong job. And if a person is in the wrong job and not constantly learning and growing in his or her field, that person's value and his or her employability is diminishing with each passing day.

When you find your true calling, you will be determined to join the top 10 percent of people in your field. You will be willing to pay any price that is necessary to rise to the top. You will be willing to start work earlier than anyone else, work harder than anyone else, and work later than anyone else.

A simple test as to whether or not you are in your true calling is this: If you are doing the job that is meant for you,that uses your unique talents, you will automatically admire those who are at the top of your field. You will look up to them and want to be like them. They will be your role models, and you will pattern your work and activities after them.You will want to meet them, speak with them, read their books, and listen to their talks. The very best people in your chosen field will become the examples that give you guidance, both spoken and unspoken,on your upward journey.

Throughout the years,I have been continually asked by people what they can do to be more successful. In almost every case, these people are working in jobs that they don't like, for bosses they don't particularly respect, producing or selling products or services to customers they don't care about. And many of them think that if they just hang in there long enough, the clouds will part and everything will get better.

But the fact is that you are where you are and who you are because you have chosen to be there. Nobody can help you or change your situation for you. The economic goal of your company is to hire people at the very lowest cost so that they can serve customers at the very lowest cost in a competitive market. For this reason, no one has any obligation to pay you any more than you are getting. If possible, he or she would like to pay you less.

You must become great at doing what you are doing if you want to move up. And if you don't have the inner desire to be great at your job, it means you are probably in the wrong job.

A great tragedy is the number of people who do their jobs in an average or

mediocre fashion and with the idea that when the right job comes along, they will really put their heads down and do a great job. But for some reason,the right job never comes along. They are always passed over for promotions or advancement. They are always the last ones hired and the first ones laid off.

If you're sti1l not sure about your true calling, ask the people closest to you, "What do you think I would do the best at in my life?" It is amazing how people around you, including your spouse, your best friends, and your parents,can clearly see what you should be doing when often you cannot see it yourself.

Remember, you were put on this earth to do something wonderful with your life. You have within you talents and abilities so vast that you could never use them all if you lived to be a thousand years old. You have natural skills and talents that can enable you to overcome any obstacles and achieve any goal you cou1d ever set for yourself. There are no limits on what you can be, have, or do if you have your true calling, and then throw your whole heart into doing what you were made to do in an excellent fashion.

找寻内心真实的呼唤

布赖恩·特雷西

人们一生中利用时间最糟糕的莫过于经年累月地从事自己完全不合适的工作。可是,有

相当多的人却一生都是如此度过的:工作日内做做事,周末找些乐子。

从各种情况看,这些人的前途黯淡。他们认为自己的工作是沉重的任务,是他们为了享

受余生对自己的惩罚。正是由于这种态度,他们很少会有发展或得到提升。他们总在原地踏

步,工作换了一个又一个,并老是弄不明白为什么别人能过上“好日子”而他们却生

活在无

声的绝望中。

那些在工作中不成功、不快乐的人,往往没有踏踏实实坐下来坦诚地认识了解自我。他

们没有深深地审视自己,没有认识到他们生命中展现出的宝贵的才华与能力。他们满足于从

事别人指派的工作,完成别人设定的目标。

日子一天天过去,由于没有追随内心真实的呼唤,人们开始感到无助。他们感到自己无

能为力,无法改变一切。他们薪水增长缓慢仅够维持开销,大部分时间都在担心钱不够用。前途对于他们和过去相差无几。可这悲哀的境遇应当不属于你。

你生活中的目标应是将能力发挥到极致,充分展现自我才华与能力。你的工作就是不断完善自己,直至每天都成为你快乐与满足的源泉,而你会被许多有趣的事情环绕以至无暇一一顾及。你的任务就是手握明镜照着自己,若任何工作不合适或不能彰显你的能力,就应当拒绝。

成功来自于出色的工作表现。对于极佳的表现市场会赠与绝佳的报酬,中等的表现只能获得中等报酬,而低劣的工作只会相应地获得低劣的报酬甚至有丢掉工作的风险。

然而,工作出色是一段旅程而非目的地。你永远也不可能真正到达。因而你永不可以停歇放松。市场在不断变化,今日能表现出色,明日也许并不一定,明年乃至后年就更不一定了。所有真正成功且快乐的人们从内心深处得知自己擅长从事的工作。如果你从事真正喜欢和热爱的事业,如果你追随了你内心真实的呼唤,你会知道自己是否擅长,就因你对出色的态度。

一旦你找寻到了内心真实的呼唤,你会持续不断地去进一步了解它。若一个人没有动力去更多地了解自己从事的领域,那么他就选错了职业。如果他入错了行又不继续学习来增加自己对本行业的了解,那么他的价值以及被聘用的可能性将与日递减。

一旦你找寻到了内心真实的呼唤,你会决心成为本领域中顶级的10%里的人物。你会愿意付出任何必要的代价来跻身于顶级人物之列。你会愿意工作得}匕任何人都早,比任何人都勤奋,比任何人都工作时间长。

一个简单的测试可以让你了解自己是否真正从事内心向往的工作:若你所从事的工作正是你应该从事的,能运用你独特的才能,你就会不自觉地崇拜那些本囊页域的顶级人物。你会向他们看齐,期望有朝一目能成为他们中一员。他们将成为你行业的典范人物,在工作和其他事务上你会模仿他们。你会希望与他们会面、交谈,阅读他们的著作,聆听他们的讲话。在你所选定的领域里这些优秀的人才将成为楷模,通过言谈和行为,在你奋发向上的旅途中充当你的向导。

这些年来,一直有人不断地问我,要如何做才能更成功。很多隋况下,人们从事自己并不喜欢的工作,为自己并不特别尊敬的老板干活,对购买自己产品或服务的顾客并不在乎。很多人以为只要自己待足够长时间,总有一日将云开雾散,情况越来越好。

但事实剐是你会原地踏步,自己没有任何改观,因为你选择如此。没有人能帮你改变局势。你公司的经济目标是以最低廉的成本价格来招募职员,这样他们便能在竞争激烈的市场以霉低的价格服务顾客。由于这样的原因,没有人有任何义务支付你更多的薪水。相反,如果可能,他倒愿意支付得更少些。

如果你想努力向上,你必须在自己的岗位上做得最好。如果你没有促使你积极工作的内在动力,这意味着你很可能选错了职业。

可悲的是,为数可观的人们工作平平,却怀有这样一种想法:一旦心仪的工作来临,他们会全身心扑进去,干出一番成绩。但由于某些原因,合适的工作永远不会降临。晋升与发展的机遇总是与他们擦肩而过,他们总是受雇的最后人选,解聘的第一人选。

如果你仍不清楚自己的真实需求,问问你周围最亲近的人,“你认为我做什么最好?”令人惊异的是,往往当你自己还不清楚自己的真实想法时,你身边的人,包括你的配偶、最好的朋友,父母却都能清楚地知道你应当做什么。

应该记住的是,你降临这个世上,是要有所作为的,你蕴藏着极丰富的才华与能力,即使是活到1000岁也无法穷尽。你与生俱来的技能与才华能让你克服任何困难,最终企及自己设定的目标。如果你找寻到了你内心真实的呼唤,那么你就可以成为你想做的人,拥有你想拥有的,做你想做的事,以绝佳的心态,全身心地投入到你的事业中去。

大学英语B阅读翻译及写作_6

大学英语B阅读翻译及写作 TEST 1 阅读1: 有这些关于两位美国总统杰克逊和范布伦试图解释英语词组OK的故事。我们不知这些故事的真实性,但他们都是很有趣。第一种解释是根据杰克逊总统读书少的事实。事实上,他读写有困难。当他接到重要的文件,他努力地去读,然后让助手解释内容,如果他赞成,他就会在公文上写上Oll Korrect二字,问题就在于他不知道如何拼写,所以他真正写的是“ol korekt”.过了一段时间,他简称为“OK”. 第二种解释是根据范布伦总统的出生地纽约是事实。范布伦的朋友组织了一个俱乐部帮助他竞选。他们把它称之为Old Kinderhook 俱乐部,支持范布伦的人被称为“OK”。 阅读2. 尽管美国有很多陆地,生产事物所占用的地甚至不到现在人口所居住的地方多很多,现在大多数的人都生活在一个大都市里,从事农业和林业的人不到十分之一,多多少少总有一部分人仍然生活在城镇附近,那儿原有的景象正在不断地改变:每个小城镇都很相识,那有代表性的城镇相当于那富有大自然美好景色的农村,但是大部分美国人不在住在那里了,现在有一半人口住在30个大城市里,这好比一百万人居住在每一个比德国、英国大的免职里,更不用说法国了。据统计,城市和乡村的人口应该被处改并且告诫,那是因为有人把区域分类作为农村,在城镇范围内开车旅行,并且逐渐盖满房子,以致于很难说出农村一下子变成郊区城镇,但是越来越多典型的美国人居住在大城市里好比居住在小的城镇环境里。 阅读3 如果我们被准确地问及我们一年前所做的事情,我们就会不得不说我们不能记起。但是我们将每一天所做的事写在一本簿子上并保存在内,我们应该能够回答那些问题。那历史也一样。很多事已被忘记,是因为我们没有将它们记录在案。有时人类会记录那些在他们回家发生的最重要的事,但是经常会被大火或战争而销毁掉。有时会因为那个时候或那个地方的人民不知道怎么写字,就根本没有任何文字记录。例如,我们知道很多关于4,000年前住在中国大地上的人们,就是因为他们会写字,并且能够把文字记载流传到他们的后代。但是我们几乎不知道一些有关于在非洲中部200多年前住在那里的人们的事,因为他们没有学写字。当然,有时候即使人们不会写字,他们仍然会知道一些过去的事。他们可从老人们口里所说到,还有一些关于重要事件的歌曲、舞蹈和已被编造出来的故事,并且这些通过被唱和演出就能告诉人们很多梗概。就如大部分人都会很自豪地告诉别人,在过去他们父亲那代所做过的一些事情。对于这,我们会叫它作“记忆性的历史”。它们有些现在已被记载。那作为历史记载的话是不准确和没有高价值的,是因为当在讲话反复使用时,词句会比抄写下来容易改变得多了。但是对于要进行文字记载的地方,这样的口述故事是非常有帮助的。 完型填空: 你会发现大学的课程是不同与高中学校的课程,你将会有更多的工作和责任却没有太多的被动,另一方面,你也有更多的自由??有自由去选择学什么,什么时候学,或者为什么而学,你将需要练习最大量的自我训练。这是最辛苦的一种训练,因为这是资源的,和你只能是你自己一个去行动(面对),你决定的学习习惯将会是你将来成功的决定因素,或是缺陷。另外,你会发现你的导师跟你早先遇到过的那些人有些相识,他们会希望你更加投入到你的学习习惯和时间安排上。记住,许多你学到的是发生在课室以外的。你的导师会给你附加的帮助在课堂以外。如果这时候证明你的课正在生效、实行。在你能力和技术都能控制掌握的条件下,你需要有效果地安排你的时间,以便使你在大学里取得成功。一个与有效利用时间的有关的表会使你能够使工作和游玩都包含在内,当你获得一份工作,不久你会发现不足仅是做你想的,更是你所希望的。 作文: 你同学建华在国外学习,你们经常用英文通信。他即将完成学业,不久前来信说将回国工作。请根据下列提示回信:注意:1词数100左右; 2 行文英连贯,内容应完整; 3 开头语与落款已为你写好。 June 8th Dear Jianhua, I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago. I’m very glad to know that you have finished your studies abr oad. And what you are studying is well needed nowadays in China. It will be quite easy for you to find a good job. I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you. I’m working for the computer company now, and I must work from nine clock to five . If you are free, please come to visit me . I am looking forward to your letter . Best wishes, Minghua TEST 2 Passage 1

读写结合——提高英语写作能力的教学案例

读写结合—提高英语写作能力 摘要:英语写作是英语学习的四项基本技能之一,是英语教学中不可缺少的环节。然而,长期以来,写作一直是困扰我国英语教学的一大难题。学生面对写作任务时常常不知从何下手。在教学中或在高考阅卷中常常发现:学生的审题能力差,偏离主题现象严重;文章词语贫乏,语言素材不丰富,句子意识差;表达不得体,结构单一,缺少连贯性,篇章意识差等等。英语写作已成了英语教学的老大难问题,也成了英语教学的瓶颈。本文通过整合阅读与写作教学,以读促写,是阅读教学的延伸与深化,是语言学习从语言输入到语言输出的一个质的转变,从而实现提高英语写作能力的目的。 一、案例背景 (一) 问题提出 语言是人们思想交流的工具,有声语言和书写语言是语言交流的两种媒介。写作是学习者英语综合能力的体现。高中英语新课程标准对写作提出了更高的要求,八级要求为“能根据所读文章进行转述或写摘要;能根据用文字级图表提供的信息写短文或报告;能写出与一连关切结构完整的短文,叙述事情或表达观点和态度;能在写作中做到文体规范、语句通顺”。但在教学中或在高考阅卷中常常发现:学生的审题能力差,偏离主题现象严重;文章词语贫乏,语言素材不丰富,句子意识差;表达不得体,结构单一,缺少连贯性,篇章意识差等等,在学生的口语表达能力有较大提高的情况下,学生的写作能力还相对滞后。可以说,长期以来,写作一直是困扰我国英语教学的一大难题。学生面对写作任务时常常不知从何下手。这一严重现象的出现,笔者认为有以下几个原因: 1.目前高中英语教学中一般不开设专门的英语写作课,没有对学生英语写作基本功进行系统训练,往往是在高考前期进行短期的突击性应试模拟训练,平时对学生写作技能的培养较少。 2.学生的阅读量小和阅读面窄,造成词汇量小,写作语言素材贫乏。 3.学生良好的阅读策略与写作策略缺少,导致学生的篇章意识差等。 为了适应发展中的社会,满足社会的需求,使高中毕业生的英语写作水平达到高中英语新课程标准的八级或九级的写作目标,高中英语教学中对学生写作技能的培养必须是长期的、有目的循序渐进的写作技能培养。阅读是语言输入的主要途径,更是写作的基础。阅读能给学生提供大量的写作素材,通过阅读,学生可以积累词汇,储存句法、语篇知识,学习遣词造句、布局谋篇的

They were seven hundred li around, and ten thousand metres high. An old man lived on the north side of the mountains. He was 90 years old. People called him the Foolish Old Man. The mountains stood in his way to the south. He was very unhappy. So he said to his family, “Shall we work together to remove the mountains? Then we can go straight to the south.” They agreed to his idea. The Foolish Old Man and his sons began to break rocks and dig earth. They carried the rocks and earth in baskets to the seaside of Bohai. One trip to the sea took them a long time. They left in winter and came back in summer. Another old man lived by the river. People called him the Wise Old Man. He laughed at the Foolish Old Man and said to him, “How unwise you are! You are old and weak. You cannot even pull out a tree from the mountains. How can you remove them?” The Foolish Old Man said, “Yuou don’t understand. When I die, there will be my

Something about the World AIDS DAY. 要求学生带着这些任务预习课文。学生要回答以上问题,除阅读课文外,还必须查找相关材料,做好记录。此环节学生可采用分工合作的学习方式。此时教师可以给学生一些必要的帮助,如:提供网站名,提供一些阅读材料。由于学生是在任务目标驱使下预习,预习就很有成效,而不是走过场。为课堂讨论奠定了基础,同时也提高了课堂教学的效率,发挥了学生的主体作用,培养了学生查找信息的能力和较强的自学能力。 Step 2: Lead-in Collect the information Ss have found and at the same time ask the Ss to exchange the information about HIV/AIDS. And ask Ss to discuss the following questions. 1. Answer the following questions What is AIDS? How is it infected? Who gets it easily? What attitude do people have now ? 2.What can you do on World AIDS Day? 3. Do you think it is safe to be friends with people who are living with HIV/AIDS? Give your views.

迎接评估大学英语阅读与写作训练材料 作文范文一Fighting Criminals Today the crime rate in some cities of our country is rising. Many citizens often complain about the thefts and robberies that have taken place in the areas they live in and appeal to the governments at all levels to take effective measures to reduce the crime rate. Faced with criminals, some people are so frightened that they shamelessly give up the fight and other people turn a blind eye to them. However, some people are brave enough, to risk their lives to fight the criminals. Their fearless actions prevented the criminals from doing evils, saved the victims, and protected the public properties. To reduce the crime rate, we all the people should first receive a law education. Criminals must be severely punished. Meanwhile we should set up a foundation to reward those who fight criminals. It is also important to call on people to learn from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime. 作文范文二:Advertisements Advertisements are getting their way into people's lives. People depend on advertisers in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are always manufacturers. Sometimes they are salesmen. Their merchandise needs advertising. Thus nearly every product is advertised. To some extent, good advertising means success while bad advertising can means failure. There are many ways to advertise and 'ads' come in different forms. Newspaper carries advertisements. Some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies are set up to furnish a variety of services for it. However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and they haven't always been satisfied. 作文范文三:My first Job Before I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day,I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.

小学英语阅读与写作

对小学英语阅读和写作的几点看法 传统的阅读课上课模式一般为:单词讲解→课文翻译→语言点讲解→课文朗读→背诵段落,由词及句,由句及段,再到语篇。这种“自下而上”的传统阅读教学,只注意语言点及语言本身的结构,导致学生只看到树木看不到森林,根本无法培养学生理解和吸收书面信息的能力,不利于学生对于较长篇幅文章的整体理解,并且导致学生一看到长的、生词多的文章就望而却步,而提高运用语言的能力更无从谈起。三段式阅读提起来简单只有阅读前阶段、阅读中阶段、阅读后阶段三个阶段,但每个步骤所包含的内容却很多。 阅读前阶段就是准备工作,教师在授课前应该查找该文章的相关资料,让学生课前热身。同时不定时地利用多媒体技术让学生了解人物或事情的一些基本情节,在此基础上再让学生阅读所给内容时,则更容易与文章的某些观念产生共鸣,也更能够激发其阅读的兴趣。有了较好的课前导入学生就让学生对即将面对了文章有了一种期待。阅读中阶段要侧重学生阅读技巧和阅读策略的培养。让学生从整体上理解课文大意,找出主题句、关键词,使学生对文章的结构、内容有个大致的了解。一般小学教材的每篇Let’s read后面都有几个小问题,如果没有也可以由教师提前出在黑板上,让学生带着问题去读,围绕着问题在文中快速找出答案。问题可由易到难,也可以提出一些延伸性问题来开拓学生的视野,培养创造性思维。在此阶段教师一定要注意在教室里进行耐心地指导,尤其要帮助那些基础较差的学生。阅读后阶段是对所学文章的一个巩固,本节课效果如何取决于一个“练”

字。效果尤其需通过笔头来检测,因为这更突出了实践的原则。需根据课文内容设计一些典型练习,从而达到巩固所学知识,温故而知新,活学活用之目的。 小学英语教师对写作认识有一定的误区,其实小学生的写作要求不同于中学,小学的写作训练不能和小学生的能力脱钩,不能和学生的学习生活实际脱钩。英语写作训练和教学应服务于小学英语课堂,延伸于课堂并让课堂更有效。写作形式应具儿童型和多样性,字数也没有必要和中学相比。对于小学高年级段的学生来说,课文教学已经接近初中的语篇教学,那么,这部分学生就应该尝试英语写作。英语写作更是他们展示英语才能的一种途径。所以作为一名小学英语教师应该更新教学观念,设计一些符合小学生认知规律、实效性较高的写作活动,促进学生的英语技能全面发展。那么,作为小学英语教师,怎么设置比较可行的写作训练方案呢设定的原则是什么呢.原则1.不让学生有过多的学习负担。笔者认为,写作训练应紧扣学生所学教材,把写作训练当作适时的家庭作业,或课堂书写训练。 原则2.要求学生所学语言知识能综合运用于写作中,不建议用多少华丽的词语,甚至花大量的时间查字典,基本用所学的单词。 原则3.学生写作内容贴近学生的英语学习和生活,所写的主题和所教课文同步。挖掘教材中的写作素材。模仿课文写作,或跟课文话题相当。

优秀小学英语阅读教学心得体会范本 -精选范文

优秀小学英语阅读教学心得体会范本 今天我有幸去参加小学英语阅读教学,两位老师上的都是英语阅读教学,英语阅读教学基本可分为三个部分:读前活动(Pre-reading),阅读中活动(While-reading),读后活动(Post-reading)。在两位老师精彩的英语课中,我见证了课堂艺术的魅力。 见证一:巧妙激活旧知,让学生有话可说 良好的开端是成功的一半。积极的热身活动能激发学生的兴趣,并能给学生创造和谐的英语环境。Warm----up环节吴甜甜老师采用了一首美妙的chant:dog,dog,whatcanyoudo?Icanrunafteryou… 激趣导入。这是一首学生非常喜爱的chant,学生的注意力立马集中到了课堂上。并通过chant的最后一句Mike can draw pictures in the park .自然引出what can youdo in the park?滚动复习了词组:play football, sin g ,dance ,fly kites…为接下去学生语篇输出做个很好的铺垫。 见证二:活用文本语境,使语言更有生命力 小学英语课本本身就是学生很好的阅读材料,很多老师舍近求远,费劲心思寻找阅读材料却脱离学生实际,或者是照本宣科地读我们的教材。而吴老师则是认真解读我们的课本资源,精心制作了一本mothergoat的动画相册,让学生通过看动画相册,引出了文本主角mothergoat。相册中Shecandomanythings.Soshe is very happy. But today she is not happy .She is sad. Doyouknowwhy?让学生听录音,从动画中去发现原来山羊妈妈生病了,所以很伤心。Whocan help mother goat?Whatcantheydo?这两个巧妙的问题,把学生带入了文本阅读,通过自由朗读去和文中的答案“捉迷藏”。吴老师的问题设计循序渐进,由易到难,照顾到了大部分的学生,让他们有足够的时间去接受和消化知识。并在成功找到问题答案时也同时找到满足感,培养了学生的自信。 见证三:增加课堂容量,提高教学效率 (1)增大信息量。

(以读促写,以写促读—让英语阅读和写作绽放精彩)

科目:学科论文 题目:以读促写,以写促读 ——让英语阅读和写作绽放精彩作者单位:南海区大沥镇沙溪小学 作者:陈小洁 此论文是陈小洁老师于2012年9月1日至2013年8月31日期间撰写的。

以读促写,以写促读 ——让英语阅读和写作绽放精彩 【内容摘要】:在小学英语阅读教学中,利用“以读促写,以写促读”的训练方式,教师利用各种教学形式点燃学生的阅读和写作兴趣,让学生的阅读和写作水平有进一步的提高,而且会绽放得更精彩。在平时教学中要引导学生把阅读中学到的基本知识和技能,运用到自己的英语写作中去。也就是说:阅读是吸收——输入,作文是表达——输出。所以英语教学一定要注重英语词汇的积累和储存,为学生的输出作好铺垫。实践证明,阅读与写作是英语教学中的两个方面,两者是相辅相成的,以读促写,以写促读,是提高学生的阅读和写作水平的有效方法。【关键字】:以读促写以写促读绽放精彩 《小学英语课程标准》指出,小学阶段的英语教学要使学生掌握一定的英语基础知识和听、说、读、写技能,形成一定的语言综合运用能力。小学教学一直注重“听、说、读、写”的训练,在小学考核中听、说、读、这三方面取得了不错的成绩,而英语教学中,写作方面的书面表达却相对弱,学生写作水平难以提高。事实上小学英语的“写”是“听、说、读方面的进一步延伸和体现。写作教学有助于词汇积累、句型表达、语法、篇章等语言知识的学习,而且能够促进听、说、读和表达能力的进一步发展,同时,听、说、读和表达能力的训练又有利于写作能力的培养。英语写作教学对于帮助学生了解英语思维表达方式,大大提高学生综合运用语言知识的能力。所以在小学英语阅读教学中,以“以读促写,以写促读”的训练方式,教师利用各种教学形式提高生的阅读和写作兴趣,让学生的阅读和写作水平有进一步的提高,而且会绽放得更精彩。在平时教学中要引导学生把阅读中学到的基本知识和技能,运用到自己的英语写作中去。也就是说:阅读是吸收——输入,作文是表达——输出。所以英语教学一定要注重英语词汇的积累和储存,为学生的输出作好铺垫。实践证明,阅读与写作是英语教学中的两个方面,两者是相辅相成的,以读促写,以写促读,是提高学生的阅读和写作水平的有效方法。 一、打好基础,培养学生阅读兴趣 运用自然拼音法记忆单词、认读生词,过好单词认读关是开展阅读活动的基础。学生看着字母就可以直接读出该词的发音,解决新单词。运用多种教学手段
