Mr. and Mrs. Jones' flat was full of boxes, big and small; trunks (大皮箱); and

furniture. The two of them were busy with pencils and paper, checking their list

of luggage (行李) when there was a ring at the door. Mrs. Jones went to open it,

and saw a well-dresd middle-aged lady outside. The lady said that she lived in

a flat beside theirs, and that she had come to welcome them to their new home.

B篇

When I was in the 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother ud to sit by my side, and

explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me becau I didn't understand

what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me. And then after each

paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.

当我在七年级时,我有很多麻烦阅读。我妈妈就坐在我身边,并解释每个学校的每个段落阅读

作业给我,因为我不明白我在读什么。她会阅读每一段给我。然后每一段后,她告诉我我们刚

才读的一般意义。

In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last ten minutes of

class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for ten minutes staring at the page,

pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for

not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me.

How did I ever get into Cornell University?

在课堂上,我试图掩盖这一事实,我不能读。老师给我们的最后十分钟课开始我们的阅读作业,

为十分钟,我会坐在那里盯着页面,假装我是读它。我记得一个可怕的感觉不想惹上麻烦,无法

理解。我必须等到我回家所以我母亲可以解释它给我。我怎么进入康奈尔大学吗?

By the 8th grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at a very slow

speed. I got hold of all the speed-reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very

slowly at the time. I even went out and took a cour on speed-reading. Then I developed my

own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing the techniques

every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding incread. I found that I stopped

daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger

meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.

8年级我开始了解我自己,但是我阅读速度非常缓慢。我得到了所有的速读的书我可以让我的

手。我看他们都非常缓慢。我甚至出去,快速阅读课程。然后我发展自己的方式更容易和更

快产生结果。我开始每天练习这些技巧,当我开始读得更快,我的理解增加了。我发现我停止

做白日梦,想着其他的事情当我阅读,并开始得到更大的意义。我阅读速度和理解更好。

I found that when you read slowly, word-by-word, you get lost in the words, lo the bigger

picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up

becau instead of getting lost in the words, you e the general picture.

我慢慢地发现,当你阅读,word-by-word,你迷路了的话,失去了更大的图片,和你的理解力下降。

当你读得更快,你的理解,因为,而不是迷失在的话,你看到的一般图景。

Learning a foreign language is not a matter of reading some grammar rules or some vocabulary words-although tho

are important activities not to be ignored. Acquiring (学到) a language is learning a skill, not a body of information.

It's much more like learning to swim or ride a bike than it is like learning about the Second World War. That is,

you must not only understand the ideas and have information at hand, but also make your body accustomed (习惯于)

to using that information in physical (身体的) activity. In the ca of learning a cond language, the physical

activity is speaking, listening, writing, and reading.

学 习一门外语不是一种阅读一些语法规则或词汇words-although这些重要活动不被忽略。收购(学)到语言是学习一门技能,不

是身体的信息。更喜欢 学习游泳或骑自行车,而不是像了解第二次世界大战。你不仅要了解思想和信息,但也使你的身体习惯了

(习惯于)使用这些信息在物理(身体的)活动。在学习第 二语言的情况下,身体活动来说,听力,写作和阅读。

You need, then, not only to learn and understand, but also to practice!

你需要,不仅要学习和理解,但也练习!

Here are a few suggestions on effective practice/study techniques.

这里有一些有效的实践/学习方法的建议。

1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Go to the lab and work with tapes. Study

with a friend, practicing speaking and listening. Try to write ntences or a short paragraph using the skills you

have practiced with your own lips.

1。让你的嘴或手做你的思维是学习。研究大声。去实验室,与磁带。和朋友一起学习,练习口语和听力。试着写句子或段落使用

你的技能练习用自己的嘴唇。

2. Study day by day. You cannot get by in a foreign language cour by cramming (临时抱佛脚) at the last minute.

You may be able to "learn" vocabulary items that way, but you cannot teach your mouth to u them in ntences.

2。学习一天。你不能被填鸭式的外语课程(临时抱佛脚)在最后一刻。你可以“学习”的词汇项目,但是你不能教会你的嘴在句

子中使用它们。

3. Sometimes go back and review "old" topics and vocabulary. Language learning is cumulative (累积的). The new skills

you learn build upon the old skills you learned in the past. The more you "recycle" (循环) familiar information

and skills, the better you will be able to take in new ones.

3。有时候回过头来复习“旧”主题和词汇。语言学习是累积(累积的)。新技能的学习建立在旧的技能你学会了过去。你越“回

收”(循环)熟悉信息和技能,更好的你将能够在新的。

4. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Self-consciousness (害羞) can be a strong barrier to learning a language. Perhaps

part of the reason small children readily learn languages is that they are not afraid of making mistakes.

4。不要害怕犯错误。自我意识(害羞)可以是一个强大的学习一门语言的障碍。也许小孩容易学习语言的部分原因是,他们不害

怕犯错误。

first time in his life he decided to take the day off. But in order to do this, he'd

have to lie to his boss. He called his boss, pretending to be a woman. "I'm afraid
