麦琪的礼物英语阅读及答案【精彩20篇】

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.

Reading is good I used to think of not be good, but, after this time, I know how much the place.

Thing is this: once, when I sitting at home reading, I read the tasteless, read for a long time I think read book is very interesting, I also learned a lot of knowledge. As I think of a once in a composition of the book in a word, this word make the article more vivid, also let my article received high praise, I am very happy, so I must read more in the future. Let their writing level is higher.

In fact, reading a lot of benefits, like can greatly extend our imagination, still can make our life more colorful, and so on. The benefits of reading have so many, we must read more books!

英语原版小说的阅读技巧与策略说实话,在原版小说的阅读方面,我不是高手,虽然有很多恩师淳淳教导,自己也买了借了很多原版小说,在我印象中,没有一本好好读完的,唯一的一本大16开的600多pages的原版教材,到是花了3个月的时间啃完了.

近来由于2外的需要,本人再次向原版小说进军.我把自己的一些3角猫的阅读技巧与策略祥述如下,希望各位高人指点在下…

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,朗读太费劲了,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介词,连词,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.

We all known that reading should focus on method, but what methods are good for reading? Firstly, the difficulty of the book you read should be moderate. Too difficult or too easy are not so good.

If you find a book is too difficult to read, just put it aside and find an easier one instead. Secondly, read the books that are beneficial for you, which can help you in your career as well as in life. Thirdly, for those simple books or those without deep meanings, you can scan over them, but for those meaningful and beneficial, you should read them intensively and remember to take notes.

Finally, dont be shy to ask questions, because anyone could be your teacher. These approaches are general ones and each of you should have your own reading methods that make your reading fruitful.

《麦琪的礼物》是美国的短篇小说家欧享利在监狱中所写，他想给他的女儿买礼物，于是写了这篇小说。

《麦琪的礼物》讲了德拉和吉姆他们各自失去了一件引以为豪的东西，但是他们却获得了对方最真挚的爱。

假如当你为某个人或某件事失去了一件东西的时候，你也一定会有意想不到的收获;假如你的心里总会为别人着想，总把别人的利益放在第一位，你也会有意想不到的收获。德拉和吉姆同时都是为了自己最爱的人，失去了自身最宝贵的东西，他们就都成为了这样的人。所在，在生活中，金钱、名利等不是最重要的。假若有人肯为你失去东西，也不说是他身上最重要的东西，只要是你在危难中他肯帮助你，这才是你生命中的好朋友，那你才是最富有的。在生活中能为别人割舍的人，才是最值得敬佩的。

你看，在生活中清洁工比任何人起得早、睡得晚，只为给别人一个干净的马路，给别人一个舒适的心情，他们总是在默默无闻地打扫街道。虽然，他们干的事情微不足道，但正是这些微不足道的小事情，让人们会对他们油然而生一种敬意，他们也是最值得人们敬佩的，人们也对他们充满敬佩。

只要是从身边的小事做起、只要你一直在奉献、只要你一直在为别人着想，同样，你也会成为人们心中最值得敬佩的人。

As the Christmas Day is coming, our class decided to send some gifts to our teachers, because we wanted to show our gratitude to them. At first, we had no idea what to buy, because we wanted to do something special. So at last an idea came to my mind. I advised to write a card, pasting some pictures of classmates on it. Everybody agreed with me, so we spent a day to take some funny pictures, and everybody wrote down their names on the card. When we sent this gift to the teachers, they loved it so much. They were so impressed by this precious surprise and would keep it forever.

我是个乡下孩子。母亲是土生土长的乡下人，没什么文化。但没文化的母亲对孩子的爱并不会因为愚昧、不科学的原因而比有文化的母亲少一分，只不过有的时候会以“特别”的形式表现出来而已。

念高三那年的一个周末，母亲第一次搭别人的车来到县县城的一中。在递给我两罐咸菜后，又兴奋地塞给我一盒包装得挺漂亮的营养液。我惊讶地问母亲：“咱家那么困难，买它干什么？”母亲很认真地说：“听人家说，这东西补脑子，喝了它，准能考上大学。”我摩挲着那盒营养液，嘟囔着：“那么贵，又借钱了吧？”母亲一笑：“没有！是用手镯换的。”那只漂亮的银手镯是外祖母传给母亲的，是贫穷的母亲最贵重的东西了，多年来一直舍不得戴，压在箱底。

母亲走后，我打开一小瓶营养液，慢慢地喝下那浑浊的液体没想到我当天晚上便被送进医院。原来母亲带来的那盒营养液是伪劣产品。回到学校我把它全扔了。

当我接到大学录取通知书时，母亲欣然道：“那营养液还真没白喝呀，当初你爸还怕人家骗咱呢。”我使劲儿点着头。

一个炎炎夏日，正读大学的我收到一个来自家里的包裹单。我急匆匆赶到邮局取邮包，未及打开那个晨三层外三层包裹得格外严实的小纸箱，一股浓浓的馊味已扑面而来。屏着呼吸打开才发现里面装的是5介煮熟的鸡蛋，经过千里迢迢的邮途，早已变质，发臭。心里禁不住埋怨：也不动动脑子，这么大的城市，什么样的鸡蛋吃不到？大热天的，还那么老远从乡下寄，肯定要坏的。

很快，母亲让邻居代写的信飞至。原来，前些日子家乡正流行一种说法，就母亲买5个鸡蛋，煮熟了送给女儿吃，就能保儿女的平安，母亲在信中还一再嘱咐，让我一定要一口气吃掉那5个熟鸡蛋……

读信的那一刻，我心里暖融融的，仿佛母亲就站在面前，慈祥地看着我吃下了5个鸡蛋。放暑假回家，母亲问我鸡蛋是否坏了，我笑着说：“没有，我一口气都吃了。”于是，我看到母亲一脸的幸福，阳光般灿烂。

毕业前，我写信告诉母亲我有女朋友了。母亲十分欢喜，很快寄来了一条红围巾。当我拿给女友时，她不屑地说：“多土啊，你看现在谁还围它？”女友说得没错，城里女孩子，几乎没有一个围这种围巾的。

后来，我跟女友的关系越来越淡，最后只得分手，那日，我问她：“那条红围巾呢？”“那破玩意儿我再给你买一打。”我当然没有要一打，只是心里充满悲哀，为母亲那条无辜的红围巾。

后来当我和妻恋爱时，我送给她的第一件礼物，就是跟母亲那条一模一样的红围巾，并告诉她是母亲买的。妻很能珍惜。

后来，母亲曾自豪地跟很多人说：“一条红围巾，一下子就帮儿子拴住了一个好媳妇……”

看着母亲那一脸的喜悦，我当然不能告诉母亲，这个媳妇不是用刀子那条红围巾“给拴住的”……

不过这是什么关系呢，我只要知道母亲是爱我的，而我能给予母亲的最大安慰就是——让母亲知道正是这爱成就了儿子的人生幸福，所以这三件事的真相我决定永远不告诉母亲。

After a long cold winter when I have rarely been out on my bike, the weather has finally turned warmer and even sunny occasionally. Yesterday I had a surprise call from Tom suggesting we turn out for a short ride. This being my intention anyway I gladly agreed and we met up at Jiedaokou Station at about ten o’clock.

As Tom has a permanent Sunday Lunch appointment at 12-30pm we opted to make a round trip to Hannan . The weather was cloudy but dry and as we were both a bit out of condition after a long winter lay off we took the easy option of taking the train to Shiyan to get us on top of the ridge with an easy start for the trip.

A long coast down to Jiangtan and straight on to Mount End saw us climbing up to Zhongshan Park. The climb got stiffer but still Tom kept on riding. Gritting my teeth I followed on and crested the hill, Then the usual Essex switchback with an enforced short walk for both of us part way along saw us at Tawny common. Round the common we went, to the Mole Trap, an erstwhile rough old country pub now tarted up for the motorists. I don’t go in there any more, so we sat on the adjacent public seat for a while and a short natter.

Time enough to break away, Tom to his lunch appointment, me for home by way of theYellow Crane Tower and Changjiang Bridge. See you in a while, crocodile! I arrived home about 2 o’clock. Just in time for my own Sunday lunch .

In today＇s society, more and more adults return to the university, sit in the classroom, open the textbook again in order to further their education.What they study involves a lot of subjectsnot only English and computer used in all trades as tools,but also more professional ones such as MBA courses. Different from thecollegestudentswho may know little aboutwhat they＇ll major in the college before they are engaged in it, the adults make their choices for some simple and definite reasons,which can be roughly classified into three groups, the requirement of the job market, the desire for higher salary and the need for entertainment and relaxation.

In the era characterized of rapid development of technology,it is not so easy to find or to secure a job for the intense competition. As a result, adults feel what they studied in school is far from enough to deal with the work in hand. Thus, "to charge the battery" is listed into schedule by more and more people. For example, Mr. Wang, an accountant in a big company, suddenly realized it was too hard for him to understand technical terms coming from his young colleagues. And worst of all, they ap

peared in the program of their new business. So, firmly, he entered for a weekend course on accountancy for a further degree.

But in some cases, people prefer reeducation just for money,which partly results from the professional job title system in China. Although virtually unrelated to people＇s own jobs, a few certificates are fervently pursued by some middle aged men and women just because they are the criteria for a higher title, which means some one hundred Yuan or so will be added to their salary. So it＇s the eagerness to grasp money rather than to study render them to return to the class.

It is true that severe pressure of making a living stirs some people to pursue further education.However,this is not the case as far as another group of people are concerned. These people, with domestic and occupational stability, feel a lack of interest in their life. So, they turn to some courses such as music and arts and literature, which may be their childhood dream. Education of this type can relax their nerves, make them more graceful and their life more colorful.

Mainly for the three reasons mentioned above, an increasingly large number of adults in modern society came back to classroom after they stepped out of the campus.Whatever reasons lead to their reeducation, our society benefits a lot from the endeavor of these adults.To name just a few, the workers＇ quality improves, and the income of education industry increascs... And more people are continuing to join the team of adult learners.By the way,if youpay a little attention to your parents, you＇ll probably find a brand new College English Course which you have just finished is on his or her desk now.

When Im free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, Ive put my heart into it so that Ill forget all the troubles. Its in this way that Ive formed the habit of reading in any time.

Little boys as I was, I was interest in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.

Reading “The Emperors New Clothes”, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his fool. “The Little Match Girl” couldnt keep me from crying for her misery. “ Robinson Crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Kellers patience and perseverance… Besides these, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didnt before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.

Ill never forget this famous saying,“ Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.”

书给给了我智慧和知识，也给了我力量和勇气。我从小就十分喜爱书籍和书结下了不解之缘。我把书当做不可缺少的营养品，看见书就像饥饿的人看到面包一样爱不释手。在我的房间里，放着一个大书柜，上面放的都是我喜爱的书。每逢我取的成绩时，父母亲问我要什么礼物，我都会脱口而出，“书，送我喜欢的书。”读书的时候我会沉浸其中。

昨天是我的生日，我收到了许多生日礼物，并且这些礼物都用彩纸包着。其中两件礼物很好玩很有趣，给我留下了很深的印象。

我姐姐送给我一个包，这包又大又圆。我认为是足球，可打开一看是个闹钟。另外一件礼物是我哥哥送给我的，他给我留了一张纸条，上面写着：“我的礼物放在你的卧室里。”当我进入卧室时，我看到了一台笔记本电脑。噢!真是太棒了!我高兴地跳了起来-。我明白他们想让我努力学习，不要浪费时间。

我将永远不会忘记昨天。

There were three of them. There were four of us, and April lay on the campsite and on the river, a mixture of dawn at a damp extreme and the sun in the leaves at cajole. This was Deer Lodge on the Pine River in Ossipee, New Hampshire, though the lodge was naught but a foundation remnant in the earth. Brother Bentleys father, Oren, had found this place sometime after the First World War, a foreign affair that had seriously done him no good but he found solitude abounding here. Now we were here, post World War II, post Korean War, Vietnam War on the brink. So much learned, so much yet to learn.

Peace then was everywhere about us, in the riot of young leaves, in the spree of bird confusion and chatter, in the struggle of pre-dawn animals for the start of a new day, a Cooper Hawk that had smashed down through trees for a squealing rabbit, yap of a fox at a youngster, a skunk at rooting.

We had pitched camp in the near darkness, Ed LeBlanc, Brother Bentley, Walter Ruszkowski, myself. A dozen or more years we had been here, and seen no one. Now, into our campsite deep in the forest, so deep that at times we had to rebuild sections of narrow road (more a loggers path) flushed out by earlier rains, deep enough where we thought wed again have no traffic, came a growling engine, an old solid body van, a Chevy, the kind I had driven for Frankie Pike and the Lobster Pound in Lynn delivering lobsters throughout the Merrimack Valley. It had pre-WW II high fenders, a faded black paint on a body youd swear had been hammered out of corrugated steel, and an engine that made sounds too angry and too early for the start of day. Two elderly men, we supposed in their seventies, sat the front seat; felt hats at the slouch and decorated with an assortment of tied flies like a miniature bandoleer of ammunition on the band. They could have been conscripts for Emilano Zappata, so loaded their hats and their vests as they climbed out of the truck.

"Mornin, been yet?" one of them said as he pulled his boots up from the folds at his knees, the tops of them as wide as a big mouth bass coming up from the bottom for a frog sitting on a lily pad. His hands were large, the fingers long and I could picture them in a shop barn working a primal plane across the face of a maple board. Custom-made, old elegance, those hands said.

"Barely had coffee," Ed LeBlanc said, the most vocal of the four of us, quickest at friendship, at shaking hands. "Weve got a whole pot almost. Have what you want." The pot was pointed out sitting on a hunk of grill across the stones of our fire, flames licking lightly at its sides. The pot appeared as if it had been at war, a number of dents scarred it, the handle had evidently been replaced, and if not adjusted against a small rock it would have fallen over for sure. Once, a half-hour on the road heading north, noting it missing, wed gone back to get it. When we fished the Pine River, coffee was the glue, the morning glue, the late evening glue, even though wed often unearth our beer from a natural cooler in early evening. Coffee, camp coffee, has a ritual. It is thick, it is dark, it is potboiled over a squaw-pine fire, it is strong, it is enough to wake the demon in you, stoke last evenings cheese and pepperoni. First man up makes the fire, second man the coffee; but into that pot has to go fresh eggshells to hold the grounds down, give coffee a taste of history, a sense of place. That means at least one egg be cracked open for its shells, usually in the shadows and glimmers of false dawn. I suspect thats where "scrambled eggs" originated, from some camp like ours, settlers rushing west, lumberjacks hungry, hoboes lobbying for breakfast. So, camp coffee has made its way into poems, gatherings, memories, a time and thing not letting go, not being manhandled, not being cast aside.

英语作文阅读：AnEmptyBox

Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the familys only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"

As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.

But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Dont you know, young lady, " he said harshly, "when you give someone a present theres supposed to be something inside the package!"

The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: "Daddy, its not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.

There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

英语作文阅读：HappinessEquateswithFun

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".

But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.

The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

英语作文阅读：IsPackingImportanttoYou

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.

With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we dont realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

英语作文阅读：TheBabyEagle

Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.

The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.

The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.

Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.

The baby eagle was hungry. "Im sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time.

"Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.

Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried "Why did you abandon me? Im going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?"

The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it."

"Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?"

The mother flew away.

The baby cried and cried and cried.

A few days later, "Im going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die."

He didnt know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal.

"Eat this, its your last meal," she said.

The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was.

"Youre a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.

He fell.

Head first.

Picked up speed.

Faster and faster.

He screamed. "Im dying Im dying," he cried. He picked up more speed.

He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?"

He looked down.

The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isnt fair!" he screamed.

Something strange happens.

The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasnt moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

"Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!"

"Youre flying," his mother said.

"This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped.

"Yes it is!" said the mother.

Bills of exchange, also referred to as bills, are essentially a short term credit instrument that can be used by a company either for financing or investment. Bills can be issued for any term up to a year and are generally issued for periods of less than 6 months. Companies issue bills because they are a convenient form of borrowing. The difference between bills and a standard loan is that bills held by the bank can sold to investors. Bills with terms of 30 days to 90 days are the easiest to trade? Bills are usually an ideal loan because a company generally will not run into any problems within 3 to 6 months.

汇票，也叫票据，主要指一种可用作公司筹资或投资的短期信用票据。汇票的使用期限可以是一年以内的任何期限，但通常在六个月以内。公司签发汇票是因为它们是借款的捷径之一。汇票与正常贷款之间的差异在于银行可将持有的汇票卖给投资者。期限为30到90天的汇票最容易出手。汇票通常是最理想的贷款，因为公司一般在3到6个月的时间内出问题的几率很低。

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.

如果设立一个节日，我要设立一个读书节。

有一个名人曾经说过：书是人类进步的阶梯。从书中可以直接学到前人的经验，知识使我们再前进的路上少摔跟头，少走弯路。读书可以开阔我们的视野，陶冶我们的情操……读书的好处数不胜数。

可是现在，我们的学习压力很大，虽然我们也很想多读书，可是过重的学业负担和五花八门的课外补习班，辅导班压得我们喘不过气来，哪里还有时间多读书呢?因此，我特别期盼能设立一个读书节。

在读书节这一天，大家不用上学，不用做作业，可以尽情地看课外书，痛痛快快地在知识的海洋里畅游。可以和同学朋友交流自己的读书体会，表达自己的独特见解。还可以和同学把书中的情景表演出来!读书节可以每个月一次或每周两次。

我多么希望有一个读书节啊!

英语说明文阅读答题技巧

说明文是以“说明”为主要表达方式，用来介绍或解释事物的状态、性质、构造、功用、制作方法、发展过程以及内在事理的一种实用文体。接下来小编告诉你英语说明文阅读答题技巧。

题型一：分析说明文的句子作用

这种题型的特点是：在文中抽出一个句子或一个文段，要求分析这个句子或文段在全文结构上的作用。这种题型解法很简单：首先判断句子或文段是在文首、文中、还是文末;然后再按如下规律答题即可。一般情况下，句子或文段在文中不同的位置有不同的作用：在文首，作用多是统领全文、总起全文或引出下文;在文中，作用多是承上启下;在文末，作用多是总结全文。

题型二：提出说明文说明的问题的解决办法

这种题型的特点是：开放性强，要求针对文中所说明的某种现象或某个问题，提出合理的解决办法或应对措施。命题的形式通常有：

①应如何正确看待或防范“……”？请你略作分析。

②从上文对“……”的说明中，你能得到什么启示？

③针对文中所提到的“……”问题，请你提出几条合理的建议。

题型三：引用古籍或名言的目的。

先要理解所引古籍或名言的含义，现联系说明的内容，看看这两者间有何内在联系，就能领悟其引用的目的了。在说明的开头文段或中间叙述有关的故事，究竟起何作用：

在文章开头叙述故事，其目的往往是为了引起读者阅读的兴趣，或者是为了引出说明对象。

在文章或段落中间叙述故事，往往是为了增强说明文的可读性，同时也为了说明事物的来源或作用。

怎样快速做好英语阅读理解

先看题目后看文章。一般大多数人做阅读时都是先看文章再做题，这也是考试的最一般方法。这种方法的缺点是往往在做题目的时候由于印象不深需要重新看文章寻找答案。而先看问题，带着问题去看文章，那么看到与问题相关的语句就仔细看，无关的可以粗略的看，这样既准确的找到了问题的答案又节省了时间。

每段的首尾句要认真的看。阅读理解的题目中都会出现主旨题。例如：what is the main idea of the first paragraph?对于这类题目的答案一般都在段落的首句，有的时候也会出现在尾句中。所以一定要认真看首尾句。

运用猜测法。在做阅读理解题时，猜测也是一种能力。同样一篇文章，有些人简直不知道该如何下手，而另一些人能运用自己平时在生活中的经验积累，根据上下文进行逻辑推理，排除错误的选项，找出最有可能的选项。当然，这也是建立在一定的知识积累上的，所以平时要多注意知识的积累。

细节题用快速阅读法。有些细节题，比如which of the following sentence is nou true?对于这类题则快速跳阅文章，找到相关语句，仔细核对比较，直到找到正确答案。

最后要注意平时词汇的积累。词汇的积累是每一个学习者必须面临的巨大工程。记单词最好的方法是多读些自己感兴趣的英语原著，先去猜词的意思，实在猜不出的时候再查字典，这样对单词的印象就极为深刻，不容易忘记。这比拿着单词本背单词效果要好的多。

英语阅读理解学习方法

资料的选择

首先，历年考试真题是必备的资料，真题是一个标准，做真题可以把握试题难度，出题角度，了解命题重点。其次，考研阅读辅导书，这种资料贵精不在多。做完后，我们应该反复的研读真题，思考不同类型文章的出题风格，从中摸索规律以提高阅读水平与做题技巧。

积累词语

要提高阅读水平，词汇量与短语量非常重要，打个比方：造房子要砖瓦材料，词汇就是阅读英语的砖瓦材料，没有相当量的英语词汇，阅读英语是无法进行的。所以要提高阅读水平，我们就得学会积累词语。我们不妨这么做：在通读全文后看第二遍，遇到生词尽可能根据上下文来猜，仍猜不出意思的，就把这些生字查好词典，然后抄写在一本可随身携带的小本子上。每天有空时，就拿出这小本子背诵记忆，这样做不费时，效果却很好，因不断接触，反复记忆，词汇量增加得很快。

阅读能力的提高

阅读能力的测试包括阅读速度，理解程度以及记忆能力等。要想获得满意的英语成绩，最根本的方法就是提高词汇量，加强阅读训练，同时熟悉一些阅读技巧和做题方法也是至关重要的。每个人都有自己习惯的做题方法，不能说哪种方法更高明，要大家纷纷仿效。一种方法是先快速浏览问题，然后带着问题通读全文，了解文章的大概内容，这一遍要快，不理解的地方跳过，然后做题。这时我们心中已大概知道答案的分布，跳过无关部分，快速找到答案所在处，仔细阅读，反复推敲，直到选出正确答案。可以用直接法和排除法相结合选择答案，排除法是四个选项都看，逐一排除选项，选出正确答案。这种方法可提高正确率，但花费的时间较长。

另一种方法是先浏览文章后面的问题， 然后带着问题去读文章。

读完文章后我们常有这样的情况：句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深，这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。如何学会对文章的整体理解呢?首先，要重视文章的题目和文章的首句。因为文章的题目就是文章的主题，文章的内容就是环绕主题展开。首句很关键是因为首句是文章的导入，点明作者写文章的意图，背景等。接着的每一段的第一句也很重要，因为每段的第一句实际上多半是每段的主题句，然后进行陈述或论述，逐步展开，给予例证，最后把该段内容用一句话来小结，所以每段的最后一个句子常常是该段的结论句，而整篇文章的最后一句就往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在。

英语阅读理解实用解题技巧

一、事实细节题

对于事实细节题，剖析一下不难看出，事实细节的内容不会单独出现，它总会与前前后后的段落内容相呼应。考生只要抓住整体大纲，看懂主题，利用内容间的因果关系，通过时间空间的关系转换，并对细节进行深入的剖析了理解，确定主题，将零碎的细节组成一个有机整体，就能深刻理解材料的内容，从而轻松解决问题。

二、词句理解题

词句理解题主要讲究的是理解题意，通过短文的词、短语或句子的理解来充分理解题意，，碰到不熟悉的词语要避过，先略读再通读，仔细推敲，尤其是对语境的理解要准确。

三、推理判断题

推理判断题最主要的就是注重文章结构的逻辑关系，抓住关键词，结合有关的生活和社会常识，理清文章的结构层次、文章内容和文章的中心思想，推断作者的写作意图和写作目的，进行推断。

四、归纳概括题

适合这类题型的阅读理解通常具体反映在文章的题目或一段短文的小标题上;很多文章从一开头就直接说出观点，表达中心思想。所以对于这类题型，一定要提示学生注意主题句和主题段，绝大多数的短文类似于语文的老三段，注意段与段之间的联系，注意隐藏的中心思想，准确了解文章结构，把握句与句之间的关系，注重逻辑关系，把握住文章的脉络即可。

五、图表理解题

图表题一般最简单，主要考察的就是学生的思维模式，注意逻辑关系，分析其中的细节，找出符合图示所要求的必要条件。
