高三英语阅读素材 Etiquette of a Gentleman(二)——绅士礼仪(二)
Etiquette of a Gentleman(二)——绅士礼仪(二) The basic of Chivalry
In addition to the aforementioned rules(General Etiquette), gentleman should follow these additional rules when in the presence of a lady. Chivalry may be on life support, but it not dead yet. Be one of the few to keep this flame burning for many years to come.
ALWAYS OPEN DOORS
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after another.
PUT ON HER COAT
Always help a lady put on her coat or overgarment. This is a simple but powerful action.
HELP WITH HER SEAT
If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you,it is important that you help her be seated by pulling her chair out for her and gently pushing it back into place, with the lady seated of course.
GIVE UP YOUR SEAT
If a lady arrives at the table and there are no available seats, you should stand up and offer yours to her.
STAND AT ATTENTION
Always stand when a lady enters or exists the room. This rule has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance but remain seated upon exit. Nonethelss, if you cn do both, you should.
GIVE HER YOUR ARM
When escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social events, you should offer her your arm. This is a little more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground-especially if she’s wearing high heels.
ASK IF SHE NEEDS ANYTHING
This is one that most guys already do, but helps complete a gentleman. When at social events, make sure to ask the lady if you can get her something to drink or eat, (depending on the event), show her that you care about her comfort and needs.
Gentlemen, if I may call you that, these are the rules of etiquette you should observe in everyday life. Elevate yourself above the rabble and display the mannerisms of a true gentleman. The world will appreciate such a rarity and your career will most definitely benefit from your good manners and savoir-faire.

高三阅读资料——叙事类美文系列 T h e K e y o f a C a r A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's 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. Curiously, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" 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 father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's 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 dealer's 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. Four wives in our lives There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and guide him through difficult times.

And it appears that simply reading those words by William Wordsworth prove his point. 英国诗人威廉·华兹华斯曾写道：“人的心灵，不用巨大猛烈的刺激，也能够兴奋起来”。要说明这一点，看上去似乎单是读一下这句话就够了。 Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the prose of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, provi ding a ‘rocket-boost’ to morale by catching the reader’s attention and triggering moments of self-reflection. 利物浦大学的研究人员发现，莎士比亚和华兹华斯以及其他类似作家的作品对思维具有裨益，能够吸引读者的注意力，让读者自我反省，像“火箭助推器”一样提升人的精神状态。 Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both

英语阅读：如何选择正确的英语课外阅读材料
美联英语提供：英语阅读：如何选择正确的英语课外阅读材料 小编给你一个美联英语官方试听课申请链接：https://www.360docs.net/doc/eb8661390.html,/?tid=16-73374-0我们常说的英语阅读就是读者利用相关的英语知识和非英语知识去解读包含一定英语知识和非英语知识的阅读材料。英语知识是指读者英语语音、词汇、语法以及篇章知识的总和，而非英语知识是指读者英语知识以外的背景知识，即直接或间接获取的知识经验的总和。 在培养学生的英语语言综合运用能力听说读写过程中，阅读能力的提高对于英语学习者来说是重中之重。诚如刘润清教授所总结的那样“正式的外语教学与其他学科教学一样，要想真正掌握一门外语，需要大量的阅读，有独立的思维过程和分析总结过程”。 课外阅读是高中英语教学的必要补充。高中英语大纲明确指出：要提高学生的阅读能力，单纯通过教科书的课文教学是远远不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的课外读物。理由是：第一，现行的课文教学篇目少，篇幅短，不能保证充分的阅读活动;第二，精读教学担负着语言知识教学的任务，所以，课文生词和新的语言结构的密度大，不适用于流畅阅读的训练;第三，精读实际上综合训练，大量的时间用于为语言点的掌握而安排的听、说、读、写操练上，读的专门训练不够。因此，大纲的指出实际上对我们的外语教师提出了更高的、更全面的要求。 我们的理解是，这里的课外阅读即泛读，让学生独立阅读，但又不是“放羊式”的阅读，而是在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。因此，我们认为泛读既是阅读材料的问题，也是阅读方法的问题，老师应做到以下几点： 首先，给学生选择时应掌握以下原则：(1)思想性强,内容健康; (2)材料难易适合学生的实际水平; (3)题材涉及面广，材料新颖，具有趣味性; (4)文章体载多样化; (5)语言地道、规范。
2013高考英语阅读素材及翻译(98篇)-2013高三英语阅读素材 The Two Roads 两条路
The Two Roads 两条路 It was New Year's Night. An aged man was s tanding at a window. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his jou rney nothing but errors and remorse. The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father place d him at the entrance of the two roads-one le ading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs；the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless. He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, ″O youth, return！O my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I'l l choose the better way！″But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away. The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents' early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. Hi s darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, h e burst out a c ry: ″Come back, my early days！Come back！″ And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's Night. Those who still linger on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: ″O youth, return！Oh give me back my early days！″ . 新课标第一网系列资料https://www.360docs.net/doc/eb8661390.html,

Grey is one of the colours that you should blacklist（黑名单）when thinking of re-painting your bedroom, according to a sleep expert at mattress company Sealy. However, blue could actually promote（促进）sleep because it sends calming messages to the brain. And while you might sleep in the dark, creeping light from streetlamps, and clutter（凌乱）from an untidy room could all add up to a night of insomnia. Grey isn't the only colour you should avoid if you're reaching for a paintbrush. Reds, browns and purples can all hinder a peaceful night's sleep, says Sealy's sleep expert Natalie Armstrong. She told Femail: 'While your room is dark when you go to sleep, many of us spend an hour or more in our bedrooms with the light on before going to sleep, which is when the colour of your bedroom can be so disruptive（颠覆性的）.

高中英语阅读理解训练英语阅读的方法和技巧素材
阅读理解能力是衡量外语水平的重要标志之一，对绝大多数学生来说，阅读理解，也是他们将 来直接运用外语能力的一个最重要的方面。 一、阅读理解的目的 近年来，国内高考NMET试题短文阅读理解共计45分（含补全对话5分），是分值最高的一道大题，为什么这种题的分值这么高？其训练的目的又是什么呢？通过十年的教学体会，我 们总结归纳为以下两点： 1.提高学生对书面外语的阅读能力：即懂得按照不同的阅读目的，采用不同的阅读方法， 进而提高阅读的速度。 2.提高学生对书面外语的理解能力：即获取具体信息的能力，对阅读材料进行分析、推理 与判断的能力以及对阅读内容进行评价的能力。分析、推理与判断的能力以及对阅读内容进行 评价的能力。 阅读的目的是理解，阅读能力直接为理解服务。理解能力是阅读能力的演化。这就是阅读 与理解的辨证关系。在实际教学中教师应处理好这一关系。 二、阅读理解考查的重点 NMET阅读理解题，有议论文、记叙文、说明文、应用文、对话等等，涉及社会教育、风 俗文化、史地知识、科技、政治、经济、日常生活、传记、人物等诸多方面。这种试题题型一 般包括一些信息题、是非题和推理、演算题等等。其测试的重点不外乎有以下几点： 1.字面理解试题(literal comprehension) 这是一种最简单的试题，其特点是答案明确具体，一般从阅读材料中可以直接找到答案。 如辨认文章中事件发生的时间、顺序，人物的外貌、特征，它们与事件的因果关系。 2.推断理解试题(inferential comprehension) 这种题要求学生根据文章结构，掌握所读材料的主旨、大意以及说明主旨和大意的事实和 细节。既要理解具体的事实，也要理解抽象的概念；既要理解字面意思，也要理解深层含义， 或弦外之音，分析作者提出的观点、态度，进而从字里行间推测作者没有说明的意图、含蓄的 内容，从中悟出作者的目的。 3.综合评价试题(evaluation) 这是阅读理解中最高的一个层次。它要求学生能凭着他们应有的常识、价值观，充分运用 阅读材料以及自己的阅读经验对阅读内容做出自己的分析与评价。如： For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able-to use a spoken language. But beginning in the 1700s,the deaf were taught a special language. Using the language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The

But this is not the case at all. 因为进入了电视时代，社会生活的各方面都把图像和声响放在越来越重要的位置。所以有许多人认为我们应该迅速地改掉阅读这一生存所必须具备的技能，但实际情况根本就不是这样。 Good reading is a more important life skill than ever before and the printed word continues to be the cornerstone of both higher education and better positions in the job market. 现在良好的阅读能力是比过去任何时候都更加重要的一种生存技能。书面的文字资料依然是高等教育和就业市场上能找到较好职位的垫脚石。 For students, almost all studying involves reading. For adults, reading is day to day, either a stumbling block or a smooth path to pleasure and opportunity. This is why good reading habits are not only an important study skill for the student, but also an important life skill for anyone. 对学生来说，几乎任何课程都必须经过阅读；对成年人来说，坚持天天读，就是一条通往幸福快乐能够抓住大好机遇的一条平坦大道，否则就会成为你前进路上的绊脚石。因此，良好的阅读习惯不但是学生学习的重要技能，对任何人都是一种重要的生存技能。 SCANNING - You can get a good idea about the material by taking a few moments right off to read the title, chapter headings, section titles and headlines.
