亲爱的同学们：
聪明的人，今天做明天的事；懒
惰的人，今天做昨天的事；糊涂的人，把昨天的事也推给明天。愿你做一个聪明的孩子！愿你做一个时间的主人！
From hero to heroine
Wearing a red, off-the-shoulder evening gown, Liu Ting made her first public appearance as a woman last Thursday in Guangzhou, after a series of sex reassignment surgeries since last year.
A trans woman born in 1986, Liu found herself under the spotlight in 2005 while she was still living as a man. She moved her mother, who was suffering from uremia and needed close attention, to her college dormitory. The hardship Liu endured made her a media favorite, and the "young man" was soon promoted as a model of filial piety by the media in her hometown in Zhejiang Province.
But Liu had been aware since childhood that she was a woman. In 2013, she received an official diagnosis as a transgender woman, necessary in China before gender reassignment surgery.
Her fame attracted a Guangzhou hospital to offer her surgery for free, but she had to transition under the microscope of public scrutiny.
On October 9, 2014, Liu undertook her first facial feminization surgery, which went on for five hours. "The pain was greater than I had imagined. It was hard to breathe," she told the media at the time.
In the next couple of months, Liu underwent a series of surgeries including genital reconstruction and breast augmentation, with her mother accompanying her all the time.
Liu's parents had mixed feelings about her decision. When the family signed a consent form at a notary's office before the surgeries, the media spotted her father, standing in the corner with his hands behind his back. "If you have really thought it through, I will sign. But never regret about your decision," he told her.
After Liu finished the surgery, her mother had an emotional breakdown and almost fainted as she cried in the lavatory, feeling she had lost her "son."
But Liu is happy. She will publish an autobiography in June. Talking about her future, Liu said she hopes to become an actress. "It's another dream of mine [in addition to living as a woman]. I know it's na?ve to think so, but I'll adhere to my dreams."

时文阅读1.低头一秒，家毁人亡！ 随着科技遍布全世界，智能手机成为了“通讯神器”。但是对于那些精力不集中的司机、骑行者和行人来说，手机在他们手里就是一把上膛的枪 Alexander Heit, a 22-year-old college student with good grades and a quick wit?[w?t]（智力，才智）, was driving in Greeley, in the US state of Colorado, when he decided to reply to a text message on his phone. "Sounds good my man, see ya soon, I'll tw" We don't know the rest. The message was interrupted by a crash. Heit died. While the young man was distracted, he drifted into oncoming traffic, according to the International Business Times. On my cycling trips around Beijing, I often think about the many tragic cases like Heit’s that I’ve read about in my home country over the years. I am astounded by the number of my fellow cyclists and also scooter riders who I see not only carrying on phone conversations but also only reading text on their phones. Their heads are down, eyes transfixed by a small luminous screen, oblivious to the world they’re rushing toward.Of course, the faster you’re going, the quicker a distraction can become a tragedy.。 Studies show that staring at a cellphone for 3 seconds while driving at 60 kilometers an hour is as dangerous as driving blind for 50 meters, according to Xie Caifeng, a fellow at the research office of Shunyi Court in Beijing, writing in a column published by China Daily last year.Xie wrote that official statistics showed that “the use of cellphones while driving was the top reason for traffic accidents leading to death in Zhengzhou, Henan province”. It is also illegal. According to the national traffic code, it is illegal to use hand-held phones while driving, and an offender can lose points on their license and receive a fine of up to 200 yuan ($29.75), Xie wrote.Penalties are one deterrent, but education and social pressure also are important. Two years ago, the Shanghai office of the media company Havas designed a campaign for the Global Road Safety Partnership using 350 smashed cell phones that had been in the hands of people who had died while texting in China, showing their last words.They were mounted on black slabs（板子）like gravestones(墓碑) as part of an installation for Road Safety Day in 2015, which was made into a film,?SMS Last Words. It showed heart-rending last exchanges like this one:： Driver: Don't worry, I'll be home quickly.
商务英语阅读技巧：文章标题的阅读 在句法结构上，报刊标题通常具有以下特征： 1. 省略定冠词the和不定冠词a / an，如： Company Expects to Take A Charge in Fourth Period 公司预计在第四季度向国家申请贷款 标题中Fourth Period前省略了定冠词the。但是其中Take A Charge为一固定词组，所以a不能省略。 注意：1) 在不定冠词表示“一个”概念时，必须保留。比如：Japan: A Model for What Not to Do 日本：避免不应有失误出现的典范 2) 当词组a few, a little和a half等在标题中出现时，不定冠词不省略，如：Retiring with a half million? Not bad for a teacher 退休时会拥有50万美元？对一位教师来说已很可观 2. 除非会造成误解，否则均省略动词形式to be，如： Accurate forecasts beneficial to economy 这则标题中forecasts后面省略了系动词to be，即are。 3. 用现在时表示过去，如： Mc Donald's Settles Lawsuit over Burn from Coffee 麦当劳有限公司了结了一宗由咖啡烫伤而引起的法律诉讼 4.用不定式形式表示将来，如： American General to Buy Franklin Life for $1.7 Billion 美国通用公司将以17亿美元收购Franklin Life公司 有时也可用现在时表示将来，如： Jeep Hopes to Be Sedan Producer in Future 吉普公司可望将来成为轿车生产厂家 5.用过去分词表示被动语态，如：
阅读英文报刊 摘要】英文报刊阅读是英语学习者学到地道英语的捷径。本文通过分析英文报 刊的一些显著特点，并指出阅读英文报刊的技巧，以及其在提升学习者英语水平 所起的作用，希望能给广大的英语学习者一些有益借鉴。 【关键词】阅读；英文报刊；英语水平 阅读英文报刊是一种轻松自愿的休闲方式，所以学习者可以在完全放松的状 态下享受其过程。现代科学技术的发展，智能手机的广泛使用，网络及英文报刊 的迅速发展为英语学习提供了得天独厚的条件。许多报刊开办了网络版和手机版 及电子版，学习英语的资料越来越丰富。人们不论何时何地都可以进行英文报刊 阅读。英文报刊知识面广，题材广泛、快捷方便，图文并茂…这些都激发了学习 者阅读兴趣，兴趣是最好的老师，所以只要英语学习者持之以恒坚持下去，一定 会极大地提升他们的英语水平。 一、英文报刊的特点 1．语言精简。所有报业都很珍惜版面，这就要求新闻工作人员就有限的篇幅提 供更多的信息，让读者在最短的时间内获得想要的信息。 2．语言精确。新闻报道必须遵循客观性原则，不然就失去了可信性，那就意味 着失去了读者，所以语言必须准确具体，避免使用情感词语和夸张手法。 3．语言新颖生动。如今的社会充斥着网络传媒的巨大诱惑，为了吸引更多的读者，稳住报业市场，新闻报道必须增加趣味性，同时确保语言生动活泼。 二、英文报刊的阅读在提升学习者英文水平方面的优势 1.有利于扩大学习者的知识面 英语报刊能拓展我们的视野，让我们了解西方文化。学习者可以从最新时事了 解国外政权的更替，了解国际恐怖主义和恐怖袭击，同时也了解最新的科技和娱 乐资讯。学习者可以通过阅读学到从书本上学不到的知识，同时也在不知不觉中 提升了阅读能力。 2.有利于扩大学习者的词汇量 英语学习者在阅读初期时候的一个致命弱点就是词汇量的缺乏。让学习者在品 尝原汁原味的英语报刊的同时，也积累了大量政治、军事、经济、法律、宗教和 科技等词汇。原版英语语言是幽默诙谐的，保留了这种语言的原有味道，让人获 得更多的“养分”。 3.有利于激发学习者的学习兴趣 报刊阅读是属于课外阅读材料，英语学习者可以根据自己的兴趣爱好选择适合 自己的材料进行自主学习，为学习者的个性和兴趣找到了一个发挥的空间。英语 报刊色彩缤纷、图文并茂、时代感强，在满足学习者多样化的需求的同时，促进 和增强了他们对英语报刊的阅读理解能力，让英文报刊成为他们一生的良师益友。 4.有利于提高学习者的写作能力 阅读英语报刊，学习者最大限度地“输入”大量信息。在阅读中不断吸收原汁原 味的精彩英文句子和短语，培养了语感。在英文写作中就会自然而然地“输出”所 接收的地道自然的语言。 三、阅读英文报刊的方法 要想有效地阅读英文报刊，必须讲究阅读方法。学习者应该选择适合自身英语 水平的英文报刊，同时采用适当的阅读方法。
英文报刊阅读小技巧 报刊是人们了解国内外大事的窗口，尤其是在社会经济文化迅速发展，国际交流日益频繁的今天，报刊的作用就更为突出。在我国，越来越多的读者想利用英文报刊了解国内外时事，开拓视野，增长知识。如何快速而准确地获得英文报刊的信息，已成为广大读者急需解决的问题。为此，本文着重谈谈阅读英文报刊时需注意的几个方面。 首先，必须掌握英文报刊标题的语言特点。标题是新闻报道的点睛之笔，通常以鲜明的黑体大字在文章的抢眼处标出，它既要扣住全文要点，突出中心，又要新颖醒目，其作用不可忽视。但对不少读者来说，首先碰到的问题是：不少标题奇特，无法一看就懂。究竟是什么东西妨碍顺利阅读和准确理解标题呢？原因在于新闻报道作为一种独特的文体，它的文法和用词与一般的书面英语有很大的区别。这一点在标题的使用上显得尤为突出。因此，对英语学习者来说，掌握标题的语言特点，是读懂标题的关键。新闻报道标题的主要特点是短而精，力求删繁就简，具体表现在两个方面：一是省略某些语法功能的虚词；二是标题的时态有其特定的习惯用法。归纳起来，其语言特点见之于下： 1．在不发生歧义的情况下，冠词往往被省略。例如： Boy，7，killed by Ejection From Cockpit of Navy Jet（The Washington Post）Standard English：A Boy，7，killed by Ejection From the Cockpit of a Navy Jet Chinese Population Is Put at 1．3 Billion（International Herald Tribune）Standard English：The Chinese Population Is Put at 1．3 Billion 2．系动词经常被省略。例如： Joblessness Still a Problem（China Daily） Standard English：Joblessness Is Still a Problem Forecast of Mexican quake accurate，but ignored（Science News）Standard English：The Forecast of Mexican quake is accurate，but it is ignored 3．连词、代词、引导词也会省略。例如： Kings，sheiks rap USSR，US（China Daily） Standard English：Kings and sheiks rap USSR and US Anne and baby are well（South China Morning Post） Standard English：Anne and her baby are well Far fewer pitclosures and job losses likely than rumored（The Times）
Lesson 1 The Wild W est’s Legacy of Shame By John Halford 1. THE LEGENDS of the Wild West still color many people’s impression of the United States of America. Unfortunately, the romanticized Hollywood cowboys and Indians have given a distorted picture of what really happened. 2. Certainly, America’s western expansion was in many ways an epic of courage and en-durance. Dogged pioneers opened up new territory and forged a nation from the wilderness. This is the stuff of legends. But there was a dark side to this story. For the Indians it was a sad, bitter tale of misunderstanding, greed and betrayal — and we should know that too. 3. Before 1990 fades from memory, let’s pause to remember December 29 as the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Wounded Knee. Thi s “battle” (it was more of a massacre) marked the completion of the conquest of the North American Indians by the United States government. Not Enough Indians 4. In the early days of settlement along the Atlantic shore the colonists and the Indians got along together. Their ways of life were different, but there was room for both. 5. The Indians were not unorganized hostile savages. The various tribes were often confederations or nations, and at first, the new settlers treated them as independent powers. But as European settlement gathered momentum, mistrust began to build. 6. It was not long before the newcomers outnumbered the native peoples (It has been estimated there were only about a million Amerindians in the continent north of what is now Mexico). 7. In the struggle between the French and the British for control of North America (1689— 1763), and in the later Revolutionary War (1775—1783) between the British and the Colonists, the Europeans tried to win the support of the Indians. 8. They became pawns in the white man’s struggle to control North America. Those who found themselves on the losing side suffered reprisal s by the victors. 9. By the end of the 18th century, the independence of the United States was established, and George Washington admonished Congress: We are more enlightene d and more powerful than the Indian nations. It behooves our honor to treat them with kindness and even gen-erosity. 10.But that’s not what happened. Might became right①, and from the beginning of nationhood of the United States, the native people were exploited, forced from their homelands by the relentless European expansion —usually after signing agreements and treaties they did not really understand. 11. The white man’s concept of land ownership was alien to the Indians. They thought they had agreed to share, only to find that they had signed away the rights to live in their traditional territory. 12. Eventually, the government decided it would be in everyone’s best interest for the two peoples to live apart. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 gave the president power to relocate all the Eastern Indian tribes west of the Mississippi on land the new Americans thought they would not need. 13. None were to be exempted even those tribes who had made an effort to learn the white man’s ways were forced to move. The Cherokees, for example, were settled farmers, had developed an alphabet, and even published a newspaper in their own language.
高中英语教学案例分析——社会主义核心价值观进课堂 高二英语报纸阅读课 李玮艳 摘要：文章分析了高中英语教学中的报纸阅读课教学及如何在课堂中融合社会主义核心价值观的问题，在课堂教学中利用了文本材料的高时效性和语言知识的介绍，旨在提高学生的学习效率和提升学生语言素养。 关键词：高中英语教学；案例分析；社会主义核心价值观 一、教材分析 上海学生英文报（Shanghai Students' Post）是面向广大中学师生英语学习的辅导类报纸，它紧扣上海地区英语二期课改的教学大纲，在内容上具有很强的时效性，因此在平时教学中的使用率是很高的。这堂课选取的文本是2017年3月21日上海学生英文报的头版文章：The Music of Language. 改文章的执笔者是特约撰稿人Larry White，他就时下很热门的节目《朗读者》引发的阅读热给出了自己的见解和思考。 该课旨在拓宽学生的视野，在英语语言欣赏方面给他们一些建议和方向，同时训练他们对文章信息准确地捕捉和概括，并当堂给学生一次实际运用语言表达自己观点的机会，让阅读理解和口头表达两种能力在一堂课上得到结合，提高学生的能力。同时教师在课堂上将引导学生就相关内容进行结合社会主义核心价值观的思考，将德育渗透进课堂中。 二、学情分析 授课对象为高中二年级学生，他们对英语的认知较高一阶段有了进一步的发展，逐渐形成了用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力，也具有一定的英语思维和表达能力。不论是口头还是书面，平时都有一些语言表达的训练，让学生们学习将现实生活中的思考与语言学习结合起来，学会用英语表达自己的观点和见解。但是班级中学生的学习能力和表现毕竟还是会参差不齐，因此在课堂教学过程中，布置的任务要兼顾各个层次的学生，既要运用鲜活真实的语言资料调动学生的积极性，也要有学术专业的知识内容让学生们有所学习领悟，同时在互动中实现教学任务和目标。 三、教学目标 1. 理解文章的内容和结构以及作者的意图和观点。 2. 理解和学会应用文章中涉及的相关词汇。（例如convey, rhythm, be awakened to, tackle, imitate等）

Good policy, and bad Some mitigation policies are effective, some are efficient, and some are neither Dec 3rd 2009 | from the print edition GREENHOUSE-GAS emissions targets can be implemented through three sorts of policy instruments—regulation, carbon-pricing and subsidies. Governments generally like regulation (because it appears to be cost-free), economists like carbon prices (because they are efficient) and businesses like subsidies (because they get the handouts). Regulation can be useful where the market is not working well. Buildings are rarely designed to save energy, because those who put them up do not usually pay the bills and those who occupy them choose them for their views or their looks, not their energy-efficiency. The same goes for appliances, most of which do not use enough energy to affect consumers' choices. Small regulatory changes (see box, next page) can cut energy consumption without distorting the market much. According to McKinsey, around one-third of the required greenhouse-gas reductions will actually save money. Two-thirds, however, will not. They can be achieved only if companies invest in more expensive, cleaner technology. That will happen only if governments require them to do so, or tax dirty products and processes (through a carbon price), or subsidise clean ones.

一、简短小词(名词&动词) 英语新闻标题总是力求用有限的字数 来表达新闻的内容，为此，在措词上尤其要狠下功夫，选词尽可能经简达意、简短明了，偏爱选用那些短小精悍或字母最少的动词。因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强新闻的简洁性和可读性，而且还能节省版面篇幅。如表示“破坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词，标题一般不用damage，而用一些较之简短的词，如hit、harm、hurt、ruin或wreck等。又如表示“放弃”这一概念的动词，标题一般不用abandon，而用drop、give up、quit、skip或yield等，表示“爆炸”之类的动词意义时，一般不用explode，而用blast、crash、ram或smash等词。简而言之，英语新闻标题大都喜欢选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比较广泛的词。 动词: aid＝assist（帮助，援助） alter＝change or modify（改变） ask＝inquire（询问）
assail＝denounce（谴责） axe＝dismiss or reduce（解雇，减少） ban＝prohibit or forbid（禁止） bar＝prevent（防止，阻止） bare＝expose or reveal（暴露，揭露） blast＝explode（爆炸） begin＝commence（开始） bid＝attempt（努力） bilk＝cheat（欺骗） bolt＝desert or abandon（放弃） boost＝increase, promote ,push forward（增加，提高） check＝examine（检查） claim＝cause the death of ...（夺去……的生命） clash＝disagree strongly（发生分歧，争议） curb＝control or restrict（控制） dip＝decline or decrease（下降） ease＝lessen（减轻，缓和） end＝terminate（结束，中止） flay＝criticize（批评）
高中英语英语报刊阅读教学 一、精选报刊，充分引导，明确学习方向 市面上的英语报刊有很多，我们要根据学生不同的的学习程度和教材的要求选择，帮助学生明确学习方向，有针对性地改善自己的学习方法，从而为有效的阅读学习做好铺垫。在阅读课的初步阶段，可以引导学生读一些简短有趣的材料，给其营造一个轻松的阅读环境，比如校园大新闻、开心驿站、我说你猜、运动休闲等。然后，在学生已经融入阅读的时候，为其选择能够看得懂的，差不多能理解中心意思的报刊，让他们在原有的基础上掌握一些文化知识。接着，就可以考虑那些与学习内容相似的报刊，让学生的课堂学习与之完美衔接的同时，进一步拓展他们的视野。较后，要分析学生的学习程度，选择难易适合的刊物，比如《疯狂英语》《时代周刊》《中国日报》都不错，教师可以事先精选一些优秀片段，课上通过多媒体展示给学生。此外，在让学生阅读的时候，我们要做好充分的引导，激发他们阅读的兴趣，让其享受到阅读的乐趣。有的文章因为有知识背景，学生在阅读的时候会很吃力，一时半会融入不了，这时候，我们就可以在旁为学生做一些介绍或者内容的简介，帮助其顺畅地阅读，比如《学英语》上有一篇“TreasureIsland”，学生对小说不了解，我就借助多媒体向其展示了相关内容，这不仅激发了学生的兴趣，而且还优化了阅读过程。 二、合理强化，适当讲解，归纳提高升华 对于学生阅读的训练，不能一直停留在表面的引导启发，我们要有计划地进行强化训练，限时训练，理解训练，让学生在不断练习中自我总结，归纳经验，提高能力，升华理解，较终达到高考的要求并且有所超越。在课堂上，要周期性地针对教学内容给学生限时训练，一方面，训练其阅读速度和重点把握能力；另一方面，锻炼其思维能力，在了解大意的基础上，能够迅速解答相应问题。比如，学生在读到一篇标题为“HarryPot?ter’sfilmtoopen2daysearly”的文章时，我就先引导他们根据文章题目和插图去猜测了解文章大意，辅助正文阅读。然后，指导学生快速看问题，了解文章的具体内容。较后，让学生带着前面得到的信息阅读文章，进行细化了解，并在规定时间内完成题目，检测自己的阅读能力。考虑到报刊中的语言表达都很自然、地道，难免会出现复杂的长难句，夹杂很多的语法难点，这时候，就要教学生如何破解，将它们化长为短，抓住关键词，找主干，划修饰，由繁变易，读懂意思，消除阅读中的“拦路虎”。此外，我们还要注重学生的输
英语报刊阅读课教学模式 英语课堂教学是一种多层次、多功能、综 合运用各种感官的活动，是教与学双向作用的复 杂而又细致的过程。在这个过程中，如何激发学 生的学习动机，调动学生的学习积极性，是我们 在教学中应该考虑也必须解决好的问题。要解决 这一问题，课堂教学模式就显得特别重要，宗旨 是建立以学生为中心的课堂模式。 《二十一世纪学生英文报》是我国第一份面向中学生的英语时事周报，它以时事文化为主，安排了校园热点、文化知识、休闲阅读等内容，文字浅显地道，文章短小精悍，兼具时效性、知识性和趣味性，适合学生的理解和接受能力。报刊阅读课是辽宁省实验中学北校英语教学的一个特色，我创建的“报刊阅读”模式以阅读报刊为载体，利用课堂四十分钟的教学将其分解为联系教材的导入环节作为阅读的铺垫；报刊阅读作为核心环节学生带着问题进行有目的的阅读，然后师生一起解读，获取信息并解决重点突破难点，这是报刊阅读的主要环节；最后是总结提升，主要体现学以致用。下面就报刊教学和大家进行探讨。 （一）理论依据 阅读是人们获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的最主要途径。人的70% 以上的知识都是通过阅读所获得。“阅读使人充实，讨论使人机智，写作使人精确。”（Reading makes a full man; conference makes a ready man; and writing makes an exact man.）阅读和表达（讨论交流、谈话、写作等）是人们终身学习和发展的基础。自主性阅读与表达的能力是学生实现个性发展必不可少的最基本素质。 英语自主性阅读，能给学生足够的语言“感知”和“体验”；能给他们足够的语言“输入”，以促进他们的语言知识的巩固和学习；能实实在在地给他们以
