我在已出版的其他书的序言中曾说,我小的时候,喜欢读各种各样的中文书。后来这种兴趣转到了英语阅读上,发现同样有无穷的乐趣,而且一发不可收拾。现在想起来也的确是受益无穷。从我在文科上的学习经历来看,谁的阅读量大,谁的水平就高,谁的综合能力和整体素质就强。阅读可以改变一个人的人生。以《达·芬奇密码》、《天使与魔鬼》、《数字城堡》和《骗局》等著名小说称道于世的美国当红作家丹·布朗也认为自己的成功秘诀是建立在大量的阅读基础之上的。.
一般的本科毕业生乃至研究生至少都有十年左右的英语学习经历,但他们的英语大都没有形成起码的应用能力。许多人啃了不少教科书,最后是越学越不会,越学越没信..

书摘
Over the summer, parents of high school German students in Ithaca, N.Y. got to be part of a class trip to Europe, through their home computers.The class brought a digital camera and laptop with them to Germany and docu-mented their visit on their web page. Harry Ash, father of 16-year-old traveler Brian, found it reassuring to see his son's smiling face from half a world away.Before their kids left, parents checked the site for scheduling information, a list of activities and advice on cultural differences. When it's designed well, a district, school or classroom website can change the relationship between the parent and the school, says Cynthia Lapi-er, Ithaca's director of information and instructional technology. "The more you can involve parents in school, the better. " Lapier says. "The technology gives us another way to reach them, especially parents of secondary school students, who tend to be less involved. " Ithaca high school physics teacher Steve Wirt gets E-mail from parents regularly, some from moms and dads he believes might otherwise not pick up the phone with a concern. Using software called Blackboard CourseInfo, Wirt conducts online chats with his students often reviewing for a quiz or discussing homework problems. The way things are going, by the end of this year, many parents may be fully converted--and in fact dependent upon their schools' technological capa-bilities. At a recently wired school in Novi, Michigan, the school webmaster was just a few hours late posting the lunch-menu calendar on the website. In that time, more than a dozen parents called him by telephone to request the in-formation. "A year ago, it never would have been there," says Carson. And now parents are finding it's tough to get by without it. P4 今年夏天,纽约州伊萨卡中学的德语学生家长都通过家 …… |
