201９年４月快速阅读训练教案学习目的: 1。培养良好的阅读习惯,克服阅读中出现的各种障碍。包括阅读的畏惧心理、应付心理、依赖心理、 2、掌握一定的阅读技巧与部分应试技巧 3、以现代文学作品为例,提高阅读理解能力。 德育目标: 1、建立一种自信的氛围。 2、培养一种观念的流畅性,即头脑风暴 注:观念的流畅性:指在限定时间内提出尽估计多的满足一定要求的观念,即提出尽估计多的解决问题的答案、 头脑风暴——意想不到的解决问题的好途径。 课时安排:一课时(３５分钟,１0分钟测验) 课型:多媒体辅助教学 导入:今天我们上一节现代文阅读、谁来谈一谈,平常作现代文阅读阅读练习时,最省事的方法是什么。一提起现代文阅读同学就会有一种感受,文章是真好看,题目是难做;看来,同学的阅读存在着不同程度的问题,真正考试的时候阅读能力的缺陷就暴露无疑了、阅读方法有特不多,抓“文眼”精读法,巧妙设疑导读法,比较细读法,品味语句法,等等、陶渊明也有一种读书法,是什么呢? 我们来看一下陶渊明的《五柳先生传》“娴静少言,不慕名
利,好读书,不求甚解,每有会意,便欣然忘食。”它告诉我们了一个读书的方法,这句话的是什么?“不求甚解"“会意”。意思是不要固执一点,咬文嚼字,而要前后贯通,了解大意。陶渊明认为读书的要诀,全在于“会意＂、我们把这种方法叫做不求甚解速读法、[板书]“会意”就是不求甚解速读法的精要所在、 什么缘故提倡速读？ 一方面,快速高效阅读是时代的需要、在科技迅猛发展的今天,图书出版成倍增长,传统的阅读模式面临挑战,人的一生有效阅读时间也只是四五十年。无限的图书与有限的生命显然有些矛盾、 一方面,目前我们最重要的是面对高考,我们能够算一算,语文两个半小时(作文一小时,一卷４0分钟,二卷的古诗鉴赏主观题,文言文的翻译与现代文的阅读理解还剩下不到1小时),也就是讲,现代文的阅读时间只有二十分钟,掌握快速高效阅读方式,特不必要、 高考现代文阅读要求应试者能够迅速而准确的从书面材料中,获取重要信息,阅读能力,就是阅读文本的过程中,获取信息的能力。 您会筛选信息不？看一则广告的片段,讲讲这是陈小春给什么商品作的广告。注意到一定的信息,这些信息组合在一起,就是它的主旨、我们看一遍完整的广告、刚才同学看广告时,
Work-life balance: Ways to restore harmony and reduce stress Finding work-life balance in today’s frenetically (疯狂) paced world is no simple task. Spend more time at work than at home, and you miss out on a rewarding personal life. Then again, when you face challenges in your personal life, such as caring for an aging parent or coping with marital problems, concentrating on your job can be difficult. Whether the problem is too much focus on work or too little, when your work life and your personal life feel out of balance, stress —along with its harmful effects —is the result. The good news is that you can take control of your work-life balance —and give yourself the time to do the things that are most important to you. The first step is to recognize how the world of work has changed. Then you can evaluate your relationship to work and apply some specific strategies for striking a healthier balance. How work invades your personal life There was a time when employees showed up for work Monday through Friday and worked eight- to nine-hour days. The boundaries between work and home were fairly clear then. But the world has changed and, unfortunately, the boundaries have blurred for many workers. Here’s why: ●Global economy. As more skilled workers enter the global labor market and companies outsource or move more jobs to reduce labor costs, people feel pressured to work longer and produce more just to protect their jobs. ●International business. Work continues around the world 24 hours a day for some people. If you work in an international organization, you might be on call around the clock for troubleshooting or consulting. ●Advanced communication technology. Many people now have the ability to work anywhere —from their home, from their car and even on vacation. And some managers expect this. ●Longer hours. Employers commonly ask employees to work longer hours than they’re scheduled. Often, overtime is mandatory (强制性的). If you hope to move up the career ladder, you may find yourself regularly working more than 40 hours a week to achieve and exceed expectations. ●Changes in family roles. Today’s married worker is typically part of a dual-career couple, which makes it difficult to find time to meet commitments to family, friends and community. Married to your work It can be tempting to rack up the hours at work —especially if you’re trying to earn a promotion or some extra money for a child’s education or a dream vacation. For others, working more hours feels necessary in order to manage the workload. But if you’re spending most of your time at work, your home life will likely pay the price. Consider the pros and cons of working extra hours on your work-life balance: ●Fatigue. Your ability to think and your eye-hand coordination decrease when you’re tired. This means you’re less productive and may make more mistakes. These mistakes can lead to injury or rework and negatively impact your professional reputation. ●Family. You may miss out on important events, such as your child’s first bike ride, your father’s 60th birthday or your high-school reunion. Missing out on important milestones may harm relationships with your loved ones. ●Friends. Trusted friends are a key part of your support system. But if you’re spending time at the office instead of with them, you’ll find it difficult to nurture those friendships. ●Expectations. If you regularly work extra hours, you may be given more responsibility. This could create a never-ending and increasing cycle, causing more concerns and challenges. Sometimes working overtime is important. If you work for a company that requires mandatory overtime, you won’t be able to avoid it, but you can learn to manage it. Most importantly, say no when you’re too tired, when it’s affecting your health or when you have crucial family obligations. Striking the best work-life balance For most people, juggling (巧妙处理) the demands of career and personal life is an ongoing challenge. With so many demands on your time —from overtime to family obligations —it

快速阅读理解率的测试记录 快速阅读让我相信的确阅读速度是可以经过练习而提升的自然我并不会被书封面上最终可使你达到每分钟约10000字的有效阅读速度所蛊惑单独看这本书而没有长时间的实践尤其是难度逐渐加大的实践我相信10000字还是不容易达成的这本书属于引领让人明白阅读速度可以快到什么程度可以通过哪些观念的改变和技巧的锻炼来提升阅读速度但并不是一剂服后立现效果的仙药。 在阅读这本书的过程中我并不只是读书中有大量的练习尤其是数字方面的每一个我都认真地做了每一个测试也都认真地做了虽然有些还不是很熟练而且也不算适合自己比如使用引导物不过我相信按照循序渐进的练习方法、并且加大阅读量、有意识地提高阅读速度是可以让自己取得快速的进步的。 第一次时间：3分钟速度1323字理解度73%(这是我最早的一次测试也是我当时的起点); 第二次时间：2分钟速度1515字理解度64%; 第三次时间：2分钟速度 1500字理解度30%; 第四次时间：1.82分钟速度1659字理解度46%; 第五次时间：1.5分钟速度 2333字理解度40%; 第六次时间：1分钟速度2450字理解度60%; 理解度是个参考值这和文章内容有关系一般来说感兴趣的领域、以前有了解的领域理解度高些完全陌生且不感兴趣的理解度
低些好在平常要读的书基本都是感兴趣的所以理解度应该还算可以。 下面wtt再为大家介绍一下关于速读训练的训练方法供大家参考和学习。 传统的阅读方法一般是通过一个字一个字的默读 在看到文字的同时大脑中发出声音经过耳朵的感知然后达到理解 用一个简单的流程来表达传统的阅读方式：字---看---音---听---想---理解 人们通常说话的语速每分钟大概为160180个汉字快一些的可以达到250300字。 如果你用传统的方法来阅读由于受到语速的影响一般阅读速度通常不会超过300字/分钟 而快速阅读的主要原理就是直接从词语(句、段)入手整体的感知文字段最大限度的克服文字的发音直接在大脑中理解。 用一个简单的流程来表达传统的阅读方式：字---看---理解---想 这样通过扩大摄入量阅读不再受到说话语速的大脑所接收的信息更多、更快大脑的注意力会比普通阅读更高度集中因此理解率不仅不会下降反而会有所上升。 而普通的阅读方式由于阅读速度慢大脑容易走神 而且阅读时间过长后面忘了前面所以理解率反而会更低。

Locked Away Forever The Sad Case of Rebecca Falcon One night when she was just 15, Rebecca Falcon got drunk and made the decision that ruined her entire life. Now, she is serving a life sentence without chance of parole (假释) at the Lowell Correctional Institution in Ocala, Florida. Looking back, Falcon faults her choice of friends. "I was like a magnet for the wrong crowd," she says. At the time, Falcon was living with her grandmother in Panama City, Florida. On November 19, 1997, upset over an ex-boyfriend, she downed a large amount of alcohol and hailed a taxi with an 18-year-old friend. Her friend had a gun and, within minutes, the taxi driver was shot in the head. The driver, Richard Todd Phillips, 25, died several days later. Each of the teenagers later said the other had done the shooting. In Falcon's case, she was found guilty of murder, though it was never known precisely what happened. "It broke my heart," says Steven Sharp, one of the people who made the decision to send Falcon to prison. "Tough as it is, based on the crime, I think it's appropriate. Still, it's terrible to put a 15-year-old behind bars forever." Falcon's case is not so uncommon in the US, but it is rare around the world. About 9,700 American prisoners are serving life sentences for crimes they committed before age 18. More than a fifth have no chance for parole. Life without parole is available for young criminals in about a dozen countries, but a recent report by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International found only 12 young criminals—in Israel, South Africa, and Tanzania—serving such sentences. In the U.S., more than 2,200 people are serving life without parole for crimes they committed before turning 18. More than 350 are 15 or younger. Cruel & Unusual? Young criminals are serving life terms (with or without the possibility of parole) in at least 48 states, according to a survey by The New York Times, and their numbers have increased sharply in the past decade. Of those imprisoned in 2001, 95 percent were male and 55 percent were black. Is such punishment fair for young offenders? In March 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty for crimes committed by people under 18 violates the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits "cruel and unusual punishments." That might have surprised the people who agreed to the Amendment in 1791, many of whom found such executions neither cruel nor unusual. But the Court said that the meaning of the Amendment changes with "evolving standards of decency." Their decision has convinced lawyers and activists that the next legal battleground in the US will be over life

新托福考试快速阅读训练第二篇 Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth， citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities． Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption， crime， poverty， and moral degradation． Their distrust was caused， in part， by a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to urban living． This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the national landscape． Gradually， economic reality overcame ideology． Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city． But when these people migrated from the countryside， they carried their fears and suspicious with them． These new urbanities， already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems， eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city． One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities． Water and sewerage systems were usually operated by municipal governments，but the gas and electric networks were privately owned． Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them． Some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies， but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves． Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price． While some reforms focused on government and public behavior，others looked at the cities as a whole． Civic leaders， convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior， argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development． City planning was nothing new， but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order． Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses． Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core． Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth． Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use，
