Gorky once said that books are the steps of human progress, book is also the source of my courage. Book is the sea, and I am a fish, swim freely in the sea; Book is the sky, and Im a bird, fly in the sky happily.

In elementary school, I often is not holding a fairy tale book, is carrying a copy of a document. Over time, I like reading books, no matter what, I will watch carefully.

许多人都喜欢读书，我也一样喜欢读书，书带给了我们人类许多乐趣，也让我们懂得了许多道理。高尔基说过，书是人类进步的台阶，书也是我勇气的源泉。书就是大海，而我是小鱼，在大海中自由自在地遨游;书就是天空，而我是小鸟，在天空中愉快地飞翔。

我从小就喜欢读书，那时候我不识字，只能看一些有图画的书，也常常让妈妈读给我听。上小学以后，我时常不是抱着一本童话故事书，就是拿着一本作文书。久而久之，我喜欢上了读书，不管是什么书，我都会认真地看。就这样，我从书中知睡道了许多知识，也从书中明白了许多道理，也积累了不少好词、好句。我的作文水平一下子提高了好多。我也更加喜欢读书了，每天晚上觉前都要看一会书。

从这些事情中，我知道了读书是每个人不可缺少的。我不知道该如何表达我对读书的热爱。只要一有空，我就钻到童话世界里去了。和白雪公主、七个小矮人在一起;有时又和灰姑娘在一起;又有的时候和小飞侠在天空中自由自在地遨游;还有时和小飞象在等待和盼望着它的妈妈，有时……

有空时，我又会走进作文屋里，去看一看他们的生活和趣事，想一想如何丰富生活、丰富世界。总之，读书会给你带来许多乐趣，会丰富你的生活，丰富你的世界。我喜欢读书，因为我从学到了很多的知识和道理，我想对每个人大声说：“我爱读书，书中自有黄金屋。”

After going to the middle school, I have less time to play outside the school, because I always have a lot of homework to do. Though my leisure time is shorter, I still keep on after-class reading.

欧亨利的微型小说《麦琪的礼物》中所讲述的，是一个圣诞节里发生在社会下层的小家庭中荒.唐却感人的故事。男主人公吉姆是一位薪金仅够维持生活的小职员，女主人公德拉是一位贤惠善良的主妇。

他们的生活贫穷，但吉姆和德拉各自拥有一样极珍贵的宝物——吉姆祖传的一块金表就算“地下室堆满金银财宝、所罗门王又是守门人的话，每当吉姆飘过那儿，准会摸出金表，好让那所罗门王忌妒得吹胡子瞪眼睛”;德拉一头秀丽的瀑布般的秀发则能够“使那巴示女王的珍珠宝贝黔然失色”。

为了能在圣诞节送给对方一件礼物，吉姆卖掉了他的金表为德拉买了一套“纯玳瑁做的，边上镶着珠宝”的梳子;德拉卖掉了自己的长发为吉姆买了一条白金表链。头次明白这个文章的时候是在收音机里听到的。那时候年纪很小收听的时候没有什么感觉，只是有个困惑让我百思不得其解，为什么小说里面的主人公表带和梳子都买不起直到之后看到原著才明白那是镶满宝石的梳子和白金的表带。当时电台选用这个小说播放也是为了当时的政治需要，好让我们感受到社会主义的温暖资本阶级社会的丑恶，当然了这些都是长大以后才慢慢明白的。自从接触到这个原作之后，这个小说就一向伴随着我。时不时的拿出来温习下里面的情节，故事虽小但是处处闪烁着人性的光辉，温暖亲情、至爱、忠贞。在艰难困苦环境下一对相爱相依的夫妻，用自己最珍惜的东西去换取对方所心爱的礼物。

故事虽说是有些杯具性的色彩但是烘托出来的却是比万金更要贵重的人与人之间的关爱。在文章当中作者并没有进行什么说教评论式的叙述，而是对周围环境的细致刻画及其家庭状况的详细描述，使之人物呼之欲出，仿佛这样的事情就发生在我们身边的城市。古语云：患难时刻见真情。纵观我们当今的环境名利当头，人与人之间的冷漠，事不关己高高挂起，完全以利益为重。道德、亲情、感情被金钱冲散的支离破碎。为了利益与金钱夫妻分道扬镳，兄弟反目，朋友相互猜疑，仿佛只有功利才是第一位的。

而目前评判一个人的价值成功与否，都是以他拥有多少的财富与地位的高低挂钩。无论这个人的心地多么的善良已经无关轻重，以貌取人成为了我们衡量一个人的标准。中国自古以来的谦卑、道德准则至于脑后。人们有时看到公共场合的不端作为竟已然无动于衷，处处充满了麻木。反而对出现的一些拥有奉献精神的行为嗤之以鼻，到达了劣币逐良的程度。正如柏杨及其鲁迅先生所说这个社会就是一个大染缸，任何一种异质的文化到了这个大染缸里就失去了原先的本性。而然这篇文章却能时时唤起人们内心的本善，使之能够让人还能够体会到世间真情的祥和与温暖，主导的人性并不是尔虞我诈，见利忘意。正如诺贝尔奖获得者特雷莎修女所说：“我们常常无法做伟大的事，但我们能够用伟大的爱去做些小事。”

"让我来爱，直到受伤."我们每个人就应发扬自己奉献的爱心，去关爱世人让这个世间变的更加完美。

导语：随着时间的流逝，我们慢慢长大，也经历了很多的事情，学会了很多东西，懂得了很多道理，而这些都是岁月的礼物，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

碎片阅读的好处

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.

Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.

[高考英语作文话题:碎片阅读的好处

A good book not only brings happiness to people, but also comforts; it can

not only make you think deeply, but also enlighten you. A good book is a wise

man, a mentor, a friend, and a partner. My favorite thing is reading.

books also bring me much joy. I remember one time, my mother bought me

"Insects", the book records many insects and their habits. I couldnt put it

down, and when I got home, I picked up the book and read it with interest. When

I read the firefly insect, a beautiful scene immediately appeared in my mind: On

a summer night, I was walking in the park, and at this time, many fireflies were

flying around me. Illuminate the way forward... The more I think about it, the

more excited I am, and I read it more seriously. When I read about ants, an

insect, I couldnt help but be shocked by its unity. Together, ants can move

things that are several times heavier than them. I also feel that we must learn

from the spirit of ants. Reading and reading, I forgot the time. It wasnt until

my mother came to ask me to eat, I reluctantly put down the book and swallowed a

spit, as if swallowing wisdom into my stomach, my heart was still in the

colorful world of insects.

Gorky once said: "I am on books, like hungry people are on bread." Food

feeds only our bodies, and books feed our souls. Books can increase our

knowledge, broaden our horizons, and improve our writing skills; they can bring

us inspiration and happiness. "When the book is used, we hate less", so I think

we need to read more and read more books to make our achievements bloom like

sesame seeds.

《麦琪的礼物》是美国短篇小说大师欧·亨利作品的选集。书中，社会上那些巧取豪夺，坑蒙拐骗，利欲熏心，尔虞我诈的“上流人物”，“得意之徒”们的丑恶行径，被揭露无遗。通过他们的种种表现，形象逼真，不拘一格地向读者展现了“文明社会”的黑暗与滑稽本质，弱肉强食与天良丧尽的现实，并喻示在金钱万能，唯利是图的生存环境中，人性的异化和畸变。

然而在众多对丑恶人性的描写之中，也不乏许多使人肃然起敬的“小人物”，让人对荒诞，滑稽的故事漠然一笑之后，感慨万千。留给我印象最深的是《麦琪的礼物》这篇文章，它让我真正领略到了人性的魅力。

有些人认为钱是万能的，有了钱就拥有了一切，但我一直坚信真挚的感情是无价的。即使你有千百万，那也换不来真正的感情。或许金钱让你获得一些感情，但那些都是虚伪的。当你不再拥有万贯金钱时，虚伪的感情便会破裂，最终留给你的是万分痛苦。

《麦琪的礼物》就是因为金钱而引发的一系列故事。一对夫妻因为想给对方买一件圣诞礼物而舍弃了自己的心爱之物。可惜最后彼此的礼物却都失去了使用价值，但他们都得到了人世间最宝贵的礼物———彼此的真情。我认为他们是幸福的，虽然他们很穷，生活拮据，但在他们心中，金钱并不重要，重要的是对方的真情，只要拥有它，他们感到比有钱的富翁幸福百倍。

换一个角度来看，假如小说中女主人公德拉家财万贯，即使她买了昂贵礼物也看不出真情所在，杰姆也就不会感到那么幸福了。德拉美丽的头发，杰姆珍贵的金表，两样各自引以为自豪的东西都失去了。他们本来想让对方更加美丽，却使礼物失去了使用价值，然而他们更加感到幸福。正像作者所说：“在所有馈赠礼物的人当中，他们两个是最聪明的。“我想，在一切接受礼物的人当中，他们也是最幸福的。许多人都会羡慕这对夫妻。

也许有人会认为，吉姆和德拉都很“傻”，他们极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们最最宝贵的东西，这个故事似乎显得荒诞无意义。其实不然，故事里出现的有些夸张的偶然，让两位生活在困窘中的主人公显得有些捉襟见肘，而通过这个带着些悲剧情调的故事，我们从一个角度感受到欧亨利为我们传达的从苍凉中透出的温暖——关于“礼物”的价值。吉姆和德拉，即使只是生活在社会底层的小人物，却拥有着对生活的热情和对对方的深爱，在这些温暖的感情面前，贫困可以变得微不足道。在圣诞节前夕，两个人还想着要为对方买一件礼物互赠，多么浪漫多么温馨。即使这一份礼物似乎失去了使用的价值，它们却成了世间最珍贵的礼物，变成一份真挚的爱赠给了对方.麦琪是聪明人，聪明绝顶的人，由于他们是聪明人，毫无疑问，他们的礼物也是聪明的礼物。而我们的吉姆和德拉，虽然极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们最最宝贵的东西。不过，让我们对现今的聪明人说最后一句话，在一切馈赠礼品的人当中，那两个人是最聪明的。在一切馈赠又接收礼品的人当中，像他们两个这样的人也是最聪明的。无论在任何地方，他们都是最聪明的人。他们用自己美丽的心灵赠给对方的是一件无价之宝。而这件无价之宝，确实世间任何自认聪明或富有的人永远不会，也不能给予的礼物。

也许，有些人会对此不屑一顾，无法理解他们的做法。假如万贯家财和一份真挚的感情同时放在你面前，你会选哪一样呢?我会毫不犹豫地选择那份感情，因为真挚的感情是无价的!我相信真心的付出终会有真诚的回报，拥有真情才能拥有幸福。

I like to read books, because a good book, contains a wealth of knowledge and good feelings. Reading a good book is across time and space, dialogue with wisdom and noble people.

Reading makes me rich knowledge, purify the soul. Book is the ocean of knowledge, it is gradually broadened my horizons, improve my ability. I have benefited a lot from reading this is self-evident.

Reading is a golden key for me open the door to knowledge, reading is like the sun light up bright future for me.

The book, not dull, inflexible. But like a person, lively and interesting. A good book is the best teacher, is a friend, is a partner. World writer gorky once said: "books are the ladder of human progress."

Because of this, I like reading, it makes my writing improve a lot, gave me a lot of harvest.

Love books! It will make you have a lot of harvest.

我喜欢读书，因为一本好书，蕴含着丰富的知识和美好的情感。阅读一本好书就是跨越时间和空间，同睿智而高尚的人对话。

读书使我丰富了知识，净化了灵魂。书是知识的海洋，它在潜移默化之中开拓了我的眼界，提高了我的才干。读书使我受益匪浅这是不言而喻的。

读书是一把金钥匙为我打开知识宝库的大门，读书就像太阳为我照亮美好的前程。作文

书，不是枯燥的，呆板的。而是如同一个人一样生动，有趣。一本好书是良师，是益友，是伴侣。世界文豪高尔基曾经说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯。”

因为这样，我喜欢读书，它让我的写作水平提高了许多，给了我许多收获。

爱书吧!它会让你有许多收获。

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be!

It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

[英语考试作文阅读

“英语说明文”，顾名思义，就是一种以“说明、解释”为主要表达方式的英语文体。它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等等做科学解说的。它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度增大了。高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

一、说明文阅读理解的特征 一般说来，英语说明文与其它文体一样，文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面，即Who→What→When→Where→How→Why。

1. Who：问的是这篇文章的主体是谁？（即所要说明和描述的人或事物）

2. What：问的是主体做了什么事情？（即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途）

3. When和Where：是在何时何地发生的？（即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途）

4. How：通过什么方式表现出来的？

5. Why：这种特性功能用途的原因是什么？

做说明文阅读阅读的时候，一定要记住上面的Wh-word。边阅读，边搜记，牢记要点，把握全文。

二．说明文阅读理解的类型 掌握说明文阅读理解题的类型对考生来说非常有必要。一般来说，高考对阅读理解的命题类型主要有以下几种：

1. 细节理解题

说明文中考查的细节理解题大致与记叙文相似。命题区域都有其共同点。⑴在列举处命题。如用First(1y)、Second(1y)、Third(1y)Finally、not only…but also、then、in addition等表示顺承关系的词语列举出事实。试题要求考生从列举出的内容中选出符合题干要求的答案项。⑵在例证处命题。句中常用由as、such as、for example、for instance等引导的短语或句子作为例证，这些例句或比喻就成为命题者设问的焦点。⑶在转折对比处命题。一般通过however、but、yet、in fact等词语来引导。对比用unlike、until、not so much…as等词语引导，命题者常对用来对比的双方属性进行考查。⑷在比较处命题。无端的比较、

相反的比较、偷换对象的比较，经常出现在干扰项中，考生要标记并且关注到原文中的比较，才能顺利地排除干扰。⑸在复杂句中命题。包括同位词、插入语、定语、从句、不定式等，命题者主要考查考生对句子之间的指代关系和语法关系。

细节类问题一般都能在原文中找到出处，只要仔细就可以在文中找到答案。但正确的选择项不可能与阅读材料的原文完全相同，而是用不同的语句成句型表达相同的意思。

2. 语义猜测题 说明文为了把自然规律，事物的性质等介绍清楚或把事理阐述明白，因此学术性强的生词较多，所以常进行生词词义判断题的考查。命题方式多以The underlined part “…” in Paragraph…refers to….或What does the underlined word mean?或What is the meaning of the underlined word?为设问方式。解题时考生应认真阅读原文，分析其对某些科学原理是如何定义、如何解释的，并以此为突破口抽象概括出生词词义。也可以通过上下文来猜测某个陌生词语的语意。或者找出某个词语在文章中的同义词。要注意破折号、同位语从句、定语从句、插入句等具有解释、说明作用的语言成分。说明文在阐述说明对象时易发生动作变换、人称转变的现象，这类题目常以 it，they，them 等代词为命题点，因此考生要根据上下文语境，认真阅读原文，分析动作转换背景，弄清动作不同执行者，以便准确判断代词的其实际指代对象。

3. 主旨理解题

说明文常用文章大意判断题考查考生对通篇文意的理解。即对文章的主题或中心意思的概括和归纳。主要考查考生对文章的整体理解能力。命题形式常以This passage mainly talks about ____.What is the main idea of the passage?为设问方式。这种试题多以This passage mainly talks about the major

surprising findings about….为回答方法。答题时首先阅读题干，掌握问题的类型，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。

4. 判断推理题。

这种试题常以The passage is intended to...(2) The author suggests that...(3) The story implies that…(4) Which point of view may the author agree to?(5) From the passage we can conclude that...(6) The purpose of the passage is to...为设问方式。这种题型的答案在原文中不是直接就能找到的，它要求考生进行合理的推断。如因果关系，文中的某些用词、语气也往往具有隐含意义，考生要将这种含义读出来。说明文常出现图示判断题，这种试题可以事物之间正确的依赖关系为命题点，要求考生判断其正确的流程顺序相互关系等。考生一定要认真阅读原文，并对照原文介绍的情况，弄清图示的差异，根据题干需要最终做出正确判断。如：动物介绍性说明文常出现动物能力判断题，考查考生对特定动物所具有能力的判断。解题时考生应认真阅读原文对动物形态活动能力的判断，了解动物的生存环境和是否会使用工具，是否善于爬行、飞翔和游泳等。

观点态度题也是判断推理题考查的内容之一。说明文的对象为客观事实,但设题以议论的表达方式抒发对该说明对象的想法。如对某种新发明的赞赏,或对某个事物的批判。这类题目常见的题干表达方式有"What was the author?s attitude towards ...?" 等。

Got a gift shop, the colours of all kinds of gifts immediately make me dazzled. Buy a card, no, the same old story, the mother does not like; Buy a music box, no, that things are too expensive, also not much meaning; Buy a carnation, no, although good-looking, also has the meaning, but dont open a couple of days thanks... I picked out a long time, doesnt even have a good gift, not the price is too expensive, is poor quality. Alas, forget it, it seems that today is not favorite.

Alas! Just want to turn, my eye is on the desk on the corner of a small toys: a sophisticated chic cage, a mother of a child two birds. Chicks are opened the mouth, waiting for mother feeding; And the mother bird, is preparing to send food down their kids. Modelling is vivid, lifelike. Touch the cage, it is moved to the birds, a joy of life is full of good "feeding"! Looked at the small bird, I could not help but think of my mother, she carefully nurturing the with the loving mother love me: in life, caring; Learning, the education. I like young son under the sunshine. This chick is not I? The mother bird, how like my mother! Suddenly, my heart very excited.

I wish you a happy holiday, forever young!" Then take out gifts to the mother. Her first one leng, and then understood everything. Her excitement, said not a word out of a slightly shaking his arm around me. When I saw her eyes flashing in the glittering and translucent and tears.

“买些什么才好呢?”我独自徘徊在街头，撑着下巴，冥思苦想。“母亲节”到了，我这个做儿子的应该给妈妈送上一件礼物表表心意。无奈囊中羞涩，压岁钱只剩5元了。也罢，到礼品店去碰碰运气吧，或许能买到价廉物美的礼物。

跨进一家礼品店的大门，那些五光十色的各类礼品顿时令我眼花缭乱。买贺卡吧，不行，那老一套了，妈妈不会喜欢的;买八音盒吧，不行，那东西太贵，也没多大意思;买一枝康乃馨吧，不行，虽说好看，也有意义，但开不了几天就谢了……我挑了好长时间，连一件称心的礼物都没有，不是价钱太昂贵，就是质量欠佳。唉，算了，看来今天是买不到中意的了。

唉!刚想转身，我的目光却又落在了柜台角落里的一件小玩艺儿上：一个精巧别致的鸟笼里，有一母一子两只鸟儿。雏鸟正张大了嘴巴，等待妈妈喂食;而鸟妈妈呢，正准备把食物往孩子嘴里送。造型逼真，栩栩如生。碰一下笼子，那对鸟儿都动了起来，好一幅生趣盎然的“喂食图”啊!望着这小巧玲珑的鸟儿，我不禁想起了我的妈妈，她用慈母的爱心细心地哺育着我：生活上，关心体贴;学习上，教育督促。我像阳光雨露下的幼苗儿一样茁壮成长。这雏鸟不就是我吗?这鸟妈妈，多么像我的妈妈啊!顿时，我内心无比激动。一看标价，嘿，正好5元，我高兴地付了钱，小心翼翼地捧着它，一路小跑向家奔去。

回到家里，我顾不上换鞋，就跑到妈妈身旁，深情地说：“妈妈，今天是母亲节，我送给您一件礼物，感谢您的哺育之恩。祝您节日快乐，永远年轻!”随后取出礼物递给了妈妈。她先是一愣，随后便明白了一切。她激动得一句话也没有说，伸出微微颇抖的手搂住了我。这时，我看到她的眼眶里闪烁着晶莹的泪花。

With the development scientific technology and the improvement of people’s life standard, a growing number of e-books have been available for the readers. Therefore, some people hold the idea that e-books will replace traditional books in the future, because the former is more advantageous than the latter, such as more convenient and less expensive.

随着科技的发展和人们生活水平的提高，读者可以看到越来越多的电子书。因此，有些人认为电子书在未来会取代传统书籍，因为前者比后者更有优势，如更方便和更便宜。

However, as far as I am concerned, e-books will not and cannot replace traditional books. First, compared with traditional books, we cannot get the same pleasure from reading e-books in that e-books are easier to make our eyes to be tired and dry when reading. Second, with concern about copyright, there are many books are not available in digital form, especially classics. In other words, the resource of e-books is quite limited and cannot satisfy the readers. Third, there is a function of traditional books that e-books do not have—as a gift and a collection. I suppose that those who love reading would be willing to keep a printed form even though he has read the electronic form of it.

然而，我认为电子书不会、也不能取代传统书籍。首先，与传统书籍相比，从电子书中我们不能获得同样的乐趣，因为电子书阅读的时候更容易使我们的眼睛累，干燥。第二，因为版权问题，有许多书是没有电子形式，尤其是一些经典著作。换句话说，电子书的资源是非常有限，无法满足读者。第三，传统书籍有一个电子书没有的功能——作为礼物或拿来收集。我想那些爱阅读的人会愿意保存着纸质版的书，尽管他已经阅读过电子版的了。

In a word, traditional books will continue to be the most important form in our reading.

总之，在阅读方面，传统书籍会一直成为最重要的形式。

1. why to read original edition novel

要想真正提高外语水平,阅读原版小说是必经之路,正如不是每个人都能成为外语高手一样, 不是每个人都能够有毅力读完N本原版小说的.(我特佩服门卫,能够把一本都上N遍,如果我有这种毅力的话,早就成为高手了…)

2. fundamental conditions

语法:系统准确的掌握语法. 基本上,如果是E,高中毕业以后这一点都达到了

词汇: 熟练词汇>2.5k, 认知词汇>5k

工具书:一本C-E,

一本E-E,或者用文曲星代替,但我偏好字典----词汇认知学指出,词汇的记忆效果与词汇的检索时间正相关(我现在读法文,由3本D, F-C,F-E,F-F)

3. 选材,仁者见仁,就我个人而言, 我偏好当代中篇作品(我现在选了一本Marcel Pagnol 写于1957年的, 280pages)

4. 前期工作:

查找百科全书或相应的工具书,了解到作者的生平,作品,世人的评价.

5. 阅读中的词汇学习:

每天阅读6 pages(6X225=1350字),在阅读过程中碰到new words先做标记,读完后再查D, 把生词记载在本子上,并及时背诵(我现在最怕的就是这一点,会不会半途而废???)

6. how to read

我准备默读, 这是我的习惯,朗读太费尽了,泛读也没有意义,介于精泛之间

7. read what

我主要研究其词汇搭配.词汇的用法是语言中最难的,比如,法语中最简单的一个介词à,用法不计其数,在大型D上有好几页,为什么同样的词汇在名家手下就生龙活虎,到了我的手下就一潭死水呢?我认为这应该是读原版小说的最根本目的.

记得AS以前告诫我,要多学词法,少背词汇, 可惜一直没有好好的实行, 现在,我就以法语作为实验品吧…再次谢谢AS!!!

我准备把注意力集中在届词,练词,动词上面,因为名词和形容词的用法太简单了,不知这样是否OK?

8. how to digest

每读完一章写一篇读后感,相当于开卷考试,经常并及时背诵本子上的new words

9. 结语

方法人人都有,上面只是我个人的对策,真诚的希望大家对阅读原版小说提出意见和建议.

《麦琪的礼物》是欧·亨利写的一篇有趣的文章。

故事发生在圣诞节的前一天，家住公寓的贫穷的德拉想给丈夫吉姆一个惊喜。德拉在商店里找了半天，找到了一条价值21美元的纯白金链子，正好配吉姆的金表。

另一边，吉姆也想给妻子一个惊喜，他还卖掉了自己引以为豪的金表，买了一套德拉羡慕和渴望了很久的漂亮梳子作为圣诞礼物。

从这篇文章中，虽然看起来他们不明智地为彼此牺牲了家庭最宝贵的财产，但我深深地感到他们彼此相爱。为了给彼此买最好的礼物，他们可以牺牲自己最宝贵的财产。

他们双方都卖掉了自己的贵重物品，对方的礼物不再适合自己，而他们做这些事情，都是为了对方，没有考虑到自己。正是因为他们彼此深爱着对方，才有可能有这样一个有趣的结局。

读完这篇文章，我明白了我们应该去爱别人，这样别人才会爱我们，是有了爱，人们才会相互理解，人与人之间才有了温暖。正是因为人与动物之间的爱，动物才会信任人类，不伤害人类，与人类和平相处。

爱的力量真的很大，有一首歌是这样唱的：只要人人都献出一点爱，世界将变成美好的人间。

在印度洋海啸发生时，世界各国人民伸出援助之手，捐钱捐物，帮助灾民重建家园，让失散的亲人团聚。通过这件事，我感受到了各国人民之间的纯洁友谊。我相信，只要我们充满爱，我们的世界就会有一个更美好的明天。

这篇《麦琪的礼物》写一对年轻的夫妻，丈夫有一只金表却没有相称的表链;妻子有一头美丽的长发，却没有相配的发梳，丈夫卖掉手表为妻子买了许多梳子,而妻子卖掉长发给丈夫买了金表链。两人同时为对方考虑各自干出了动力心魄的“壮举”，使得双方的愿望都落了空。也许他们很傻,但是这种夫妻之间的深情却让人万分感动。读完了这本书，发现欧 ·亨利的作品大多比较短，故事总是很戏剧性、行文幽默让我很喜欢。

这本书里。最让我喜欢的是《弃恶从善》这个故事。里面讲了一个刑满释放刚出监狱的犯人，因缺钱所以又参加了两次偷窃活动后隐姓埋名跑到了另一个小镇，却又因爱神的捉弄喜欢上了银行老板的女儿，所以留在了这个他不熟悉的小镇。有一天，因为一个特殊的原因是他暴露了自己的身份，于是，他在找到跟踪他的警察之后自首，可警察竟然没有抓他。喜欢这个故事的原因是故事里的每个人都有一副好心肠：警察因知道事情原委所以没逮捕主人公基米，基米则因为弃恶从善、改邪归正所以成为了小镇上小有名气的富翁，而老板的女儿莉则因为听了基米的解释后相信他，并幸福的生活在了一起。

我看完这个故事后常常在想，假如我们的社会中也多一些这样的人该多好呀!像我的同桌倪心源，虽然成绩不好，但每次我问他借东西，他总是能答应我。还有葛卜瑞，也有一副好心肠，每次遇到班上同学有困难，需要帮助的时候，他总是第一个举手的。还有姚佳辰、张忻恒等等，在我们班上都是有着一副好心肠。

读了欧?亨利的名作《麦琪的礼物》，我才深深地感受到了欧?亨利小说的吸引力。

小说的结尾总是出乎人的意料，往往对整部作品有着画龙点睛的作用这种结尾往往会造成心灵的震憾，给人更直接地心灵暗示，爱是相通的，但又是不可理喻的，只要互相谅解，互相支持，互相帮助，人世间将开满绚烂的爱之花!

On the morning of June 1, the bright sunshine shone on the whole campus, making the provincial school more beautiful. In order to celebrate our childrens festival, the school specially held a colorful and interesting garden activity.

The activities of the garden include: fishing, shooting, blowing candles, shooting, guessing, beading, blind ball, shuttlecock, hula hoop, floating needle, playing table tennis... . Among them, I think the most interesting project is to blow the candle. The rule of the project is that if you blow out three or four candles, you can get a ticket. If you blow out five or six candles, you can get two tickets to the lottery.

When I came to the arena with gusto, more than 20 people were waiting in line, so I had to wait patiently at the back of the line. The procession moved slowly forward like water, hoping that it would be my turn to blink. At this time, some of the students blew out six candles in one breath, their faces with a complacent look.

I thought: air what, wait to see mine! Some students only blow out three or four candles in one breath; And classmates with great strength, small mouth bulging round, but doesnt even have a candle blow out, disappointed, they are unwilling, wanted to blow again, had to run to the back of the team continue to wait in line. Looking at their performance, my heart was both happy and nervous, and I was worried that I could not blow out one of them, and if that was the case, it would be too boring.

In a few minutes, and it was my turn to play, I hurried to put the candle stage, took a deep breath, and then quickly forward movement and the tone with the biggest power blowing the candles. "Wow," a marvel from my teachers and classmates, I looked back, "one, two, three, four, five" didnt expect me to blew out the candle and five I jumped with joy. The referees award gave me two tickets to the lottery. At this point, the students behind me were casting envious glances at me.

Later, I played a lot of projects and felt good. When the garden was over, I was sweating and my clothes were wet, but I was not tired at all. I wish I had "61" every day, and I would be so happy every day.
