He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

孩子早教学英语：英语绘本故事精选汇编 现在的孩子基本上从幼儿园就开始学英语了，但是，大部分幼儿园的教学水平实在是堪忧的，即便是该幼儿园配备了外教老师。因此，很多家长都在课外谋求方法，给孩子更好的英语启蒙教育。而在这个过程中，很多家长选择了用英语绘本故事来做孩子英语启蒙教材，今天，就来分享一些靠谱的英语启蒙绘本故事吧。 《The Duckling Gets a Cookie!?》《小鸭子捡到一块饼干?》 这本书貌似目前国内还没有翻译本，但是我觉得原版最好。这本书遵循威廉斯鸽子系列的同样风格，只是这回这个调皮捣蛋，有点聪明，又经常被聪明误的鸽子有了一个伙伴，这是一位有着明亮的眼睛，被每个家长称之为“邻家小孩”的完美小鸭子。比起小鸽子的无理取闹，强词夺理，小鸭子礼貌，懂事，是个乖孩子。所以当鸽子知道小鸭子只是跟大人说它要一块饼干，然后就得到了，它好奇，嫉妒，气愤，觉得不可思议，却直接忽略了小鸭子最重要的方法：“礼貌的”要!小鸽子直接抓狂，气得蹦蹦跳跳：这不公平!不公平!为什么每次我要什么都得不到? Time for Bed 这是一本非常温馨的充满韵律感的哄睡绘本。反复出现的句式，读来朗朗上口，也起到助眠的作用。另外，可以通过这个本书学习一些动物在“婴儿期”的叫法，比如baby horse叫foal，baby cow叫calf。 《Pat the Bunny》 美国著名儿童文学作家Dorothy Kunhardt为其三岁的女儿写的，是一本引导宝宝触摸这个世界的立体翻翻书。这本书从视觉、嗅觉、触觉等多方面来刺激孩子的感官，激发孩子对英语的兴趣。比如，在Pat the bunny这页，小兔子身上真的有兔毛，可以摸一摸；在Smell the flower 这页，印的花真的有香味，可以闻一闻……孩子很容易就能通过“玩”这本书，明白Pat, Smell, Feel等简单动词的意思。 宝妈们一定得记得奥，把孩子送到好的英语学习机构，也不就是万事大吉了咯。选择一个适合孩子的外教英语学习机构当然是非常重要的，但是如果你把所有的希望都寄托在学习机构，那可就大错特错啦。英语的学习，是一个循序渐进、潜移默化的过程，仅仅依靠培训机构的力量可是远远不够哦。在给孩子读英语绘本故事的过程中，跟孩子一起查字典、练发音，学会了新的单词、句子，并且从故事中获得了无限的乐趣，还可以很大的促进亲子关系呢，所以，快快行动起来吧。

England was conquered by the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, and the Normans. The latter two conquests much affected England. The Anglo-Saxons brought to England the Germanic language and culture, while the Normans brought a fresh wave of Mediterranean civilization. This civilization includes Greek culture, Roman law, and the Christian religion. The cultural influences of these two conquests provided the source for the rise and growth of English literature.

为什么英语原版书很难坚持看下去 很多英语学习者希望通过阅读英语原版书，更好地提高英语水平，却很难坚持下去，这是为什么呢？一句话，因为你看错书了。 一般推荐多看文学名著，比如《双城记》《呼啸山庄》等等，当然这些名著代表人类文明最高峰，多去看看可以学习伟大的思想和写作手法，但很可惜的是，这类书故事性也不强，哪怕你看中文都未必有兴趣，而且为了作品的深度，用词都会很难。如果你确认中文你都没兴趣看，那建议你放弃，你总不能为了看原著而看原著吧。所以并不建议看文学名著，除非你真有这个水平或者你真是文学爱好者。 文学名著里大概只有海明威和马克吐温的容易看一点。 故事性强的是通俗文学，目的就是一个，销量。 为了达到这个目的，这类书往往有两个特点，一是讲大白话，不用难词也不给你绕圈圈，写那种能够让普罗大众看得明白的句子，二是可读性强，情节吸引人，让你看了开头就想要买。这种书有各种青春小说，爱情小说，魔幻小说，侦探小说等等，代表作是《哈利波特》系列。 还有一种容易读的是是商业管理类的书（区别于教科书） 比如《成功人士七个习惯》，虽然没有故事性，但是用词也会很容易，而且写作手法倾向于举很多案例让你明白，让你感觉你看了也会成功一样，也是为了吸引你买。 这两类书统称为大众通俗读物或者叫畅销书吧，通俗到低文化水平的普通大众也能欣赏。以下是给大家推荐的书单，以名人传记为主，可读性强很多。 《My Life and Work》我工作与生活，福特汽车公司创始人亨利福特自传

1、守株待兔： 相传在战国时代宋国，有一个农民，日出而作，日入而息．遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖；一遇灾荒，可就要忍饥挨饿了．他想改善生活，但他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕，总想碰到送上门来的意外之财。 奇迹终于发生了。深秋的一天，他正在田里耕地，周围有人在打猎。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小野兽没命的奔跑。突然，有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。 当天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。 从此，他便不再种地。一天到晚，守着那神奇的树根，等着奇迹的出现。 成语“守株待兔”，比喻亡想不劳而得，或死守狭隘的经验，不知变通。 staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it this story took place more than 2,000 years ago,in the warring states period（475-221 b.c.）.tradition has it that in the state of song at that time there was a man who was famous for staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it. he was a yong farmer,and his family had been farmers for generations.year after year and generation after generation, farmers used to sow in spring and harvest in autumn,beginning to work at sunrise and retiring at sunset.in good harvest years,they could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear.if there was a famine due to crop failure,they had to go hungry. this young farmer wanted to improve his life.but he was too lazy and too cowardly.being lazy and cowardly over everything,he often dreamed of having unexpected blessings. a miracle took place at last. one day in late autumn,when he was ploughing in the field,two groups of people were hunting nearby.as shoutings were rising one after another,scared hares were running desperately.suddenly,a blind hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died. that day,he ate his fill.
Old English Literature (A.D.600-about A.D.1100) 1.Historial background of this period and the evolution of the English language 1. Historical background of this period and the evolution of the English language Britain, the biggest of the British Isles, was originally inhabited by primitive Celtic tribes known as Britons. During this period, Britain was successively invaded by peoples from varying languages and cultures. Major invasions were made by the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons，and the Normans. Roman Invasion In A.D.43, the Romans landed in Britain and made South Britain a Roman province. People in Britain had to pay tributes or taxes to the Roman Empire. But they still kept their language (Celtic) and their customs. The Romans ruled Britain for almost four centuries. In A.D.410, when the Roman Empire was declining, all the Roman troops went back to the continent to join the civil war there and never returned. Anglo-Saxon Invasion From the middle of the fifth century (A.D.449), three Teutonic groups (Angles. Saxons and Jutes) invaded the island from the regions of Denmark and the Low Countries (Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg). The Celts were driven westward to Wales and Cornwall. From the Anglo-Saxon conquerors came the name …England? and …English?. The early Anglo-Saxons were heathen people. In A.D. 579, the Pope sent a Christian mission under Augustine from Rome. The missionaries were very aggressive and succeeded in converting English people to Christianity. By the end of the 7th century, all England had been Christianized. Early Anglo-Saxons spoke a language, which belongs to the Germanic language family and which is called Old English today. It is spoken from about A.D.600 to about 1100. Danish Invasion (from the late 8th century) Norman Conquest After the Norman Conquest by William the Conqueror in 1066, English as a language of a subjugated people underwent tremendous changes through contact with Norman French. The forwarding of stress brought about the loss of some of the old inflections. And the English vocabulary was gradually enlarged by borrowing and assimilating thousands of French, Latin and Greek words and words from many other languages. The English language had entered the second stage by 1100— Middle English (1100-1500), in its evolution from old English to modern English (from 1500 onward). 2.Old English literature 2.1. Old English Poetry Much of the Old English poetry was intended to be chanted, with harp accompaniment, by Anglo-Saxon bard. Generally speaking, all the old English poetry that has survived can be divided into two groups: the religious and the secular. 2.1.1 The religious group The religious group of poetry is mainly on biblical themes or on saints? lives. Among them are Genesis A and Genesis B. Genesis B is concerned with the beginning of the world and the fall of the angels. It is a short piece of writing; the poet has thoroughly enjoyed describing God?s punishment of Satan and the place of punishment for evil in hell. Most of the long Genesis A is dull and little more than old history taken from the Bible and put into poor old English verse. Another poem taken straight from the bible is the well-written Exodus, which describes how the Israelites left Egypt 2.1.2 The secular group In addition to these religious compositions, old English poets produced the national epic and a number of lyrical poem of short length, which do not contain specific Christian doctrines and which evoke the Anglo-Saxon sense of the harshness of circumstances and the sadness of human lot. Beowulf is the first great English literary work and is regarded today as the national epic of the Anglo-Saxons. I t is a folk legend brought to England by Anglo-Saxons from their continental homes. It had been passed from mouth to mouth for hundreds years before it was written down in the tenth century. The name of its author is unknown. Synopsis of Beowulf Beowulf is not about England, but about Hrothgar, King of the Danes, and about a brave young man, Beowulf, from southern Sweden, who goes to help him. His great hall, called Heorot, built for big gatherings and feasts with his followers, has been laid waste for twelve years by a monster named Grendel, which lives in a lake and comes to kill and eat Hrothgar?s men at night. One night Beowulf waits secretly for this thing, attacks it and in a fierce fight pulls its arm off. It is mortally wounded and manages to reach the lake again, but dies there. Then its mother comes to the hall in search of revenge, and the attacks begin again. Beowulf followed her to the bottom of the lake and kills her there. In later days Beowulf, now king of his people, has to defend his country against a fire-breathing dragon. He kills the animal but is badly wounded in the fight, and dies. The poem ends with a sorrowful description of Beowulf?s funeral fire. Stylistic features of Beowulf Alegdonthatomiddesmaernetheoden Haelethhiofendehlafordleofne Ongunnontha on beorgebael-fyramaest Wigendweccanwuwu-rec astah Sweartoferswiotholeswogende leg Wopebewunden The sorrowing soldiers then laid the glorious prince, their dear lord, in the middle. Then on the hill the war-men began to light the greatest of funeral fires. The wood-smoke rose black above the flames, the noisy fire, mixed with sorrowful cries. From the few lines above, we can see that: Each half line has two main beats. There is no rhyme. Instead, each half line is joined to the other by alliteration. Things are described indirectly and in combinations of words. For instance, a ship is not only a ship; it is a sea-goer, a sea-boat, a sea-wood, or a wave floater. If the poet wants to say that the ship sailed away, he may say “the ship, the sea-goer, the wave floater set out, started its journey and set forth over the sea, over the ocean-streams, over the waves.” 4. As is known, the Anglo-Saxons were Christianized by the end of the 7th century. At that time few but monks could read and write, the earliest English books were written down by them. But as the monks hated the heathen books, they managed to tinge them with some Christian color which does not go in with the content of the whole thing. Major themes 1.This epic presents a vivid picture of how the primitive people wage heroic struggles against the hostile forces of the natural world represented by Grendel, his mother and the fire-breathing dragon under the wise and mighty leader.
