水果蔬菜与人体健康Exp erts say eating a range of fruit and veg is best, as part of a balanced diet, to protect against i llness.专家表示，吃各种水果蔬菜对身体最为有利，可以均衡饮食，预防疾病。
Research suggests eating at least seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day is more effective at preventing disease than the government's current five-a-day recommendation.Is five a day enough?Y es - but people should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, the government says. The advice is based on World Health Organization guidelines, which are 25 years old.Dieticians say eating five a day is enough to get the protective benefits of fruit and veg - although eating more may be additionally beneficial.What counts as a portion?Fruit juice counts towards one portion of the recommended five portions per dayF or an adult, a minimum of 400g of fruit and veg should be eaten every day, or five portions of 80g.The amount varies for children, based on activity levels and age, but a rough guide is that one portion should fit in the palm of their hand.Fruit and vegetab les do not have to be eaten on their own and can be cooked in dishes such as soups, stews or pasta meals.Do tinned fruit and fruit juice count?Yes. But juice should be unsweetened, and onl y counts as one portion a day, as it contains less fibre than whole fruits a nd vegetables.Fruit must be tinned in natural juice, or wa ter, with no added sugar or sa lt, and not in syrup, which lots of fruit is.Beans and pulses also count, but again only as one portion as they contain fewer nutrients than other fruits and vegetables.Smoot hies may count towards more than one portion if they contain all the edible pulped fruit or veg, and depending on their ingredients.Recommendatio ns include frozen fruit and vegetables, and dried fruit, such a s cu rrants, dates, sultanas and figs.Those in ready-meals and shop-b ought pasta sauces, soups and puddings are also included, but advice urges "only to have them occasionally" or in small amounts as they are often high in salt, sugar a nd fat.What about potatoes?Potatoes do not count towards one of the five-a-day, but sweet potatoes do.Potatoes are not one of the five-a-day items. This is because they mainly contribute starch to a healthy di et, which is a good source of energy and helps digestion.They are classified in the same group as bread or pasta by the government.Skins should be left on when cooking as they are a good source of fibre.But sweet potatoes, parsnips, swedes and turnips do count as five-a-day foods, as they are usually eaten as well as the starchy bit of the meal.。

一口好牙或有助提高运动成绩Dentists say elite athletes could stand a better chance of winning gold medals if they look after their teeth.牙医称，优秀的运动员如果能好好对待自己的牙齿，那么他们获金牌的机会会更大。
The Oral Health and Performance in Sport conference in London heard that athletes' oral health was often bad and could impair training and performance.At the pinnacle of elite sport, the difference between winning and losing is tiny, so even marginal improvements can make a crucial difference.Doctors for Team GB's boxing squad are already trying to improve oral health.DisruptiveA study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, showed a fifth of athletes said their oral health damaged their training and performance for the Games.At the conference, dentists said tooth pain could disrupt sleep and training and that inflammation of the gums could affect the rest of the body, impairing performance.It is not unusual for poor oral health to have wider effects. The NHS says it is linked to type 2 diabetes and heart problems.A regular floss（牙线）, a bottle of mouthwash and good brushing technique are not going to transform a weekend jogger into an Olympian.However, Prof Ian Needleman, director of the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, says there could be an impact in elite sport.He told the BBC: "It's the accumulation of marginal gains, where the difference between elite athletes at the very top is small. Then oral health, amongst other aspects, could make a difference."The research we did at London 2012 found a large proportion of young athletes, fantastically well tuned physically, had really poor oral health."Quite a high proportion reported an impact on their training and performance so it's clearly an issue for them."。

营养不良影响肠健康Child malnutrition has long-term effects on gut health that affect development even after treatment, a study suggests.研究发现，儿童营养不良对肠健康有长期影响，即使经过治疗也会影响生长发育。
A team studied the gut health of malnourished children in Bangladesh.Writing in the journal Nature they said the bacterial make-up was not fully restored to normal after food supplements were given.They say the finding might explain why children often fail to grow normally even after treatment.The World Health Organization estimates severe acute malnutrition affects about 20 million children worldwide.Moderate acute malnutrition, a less serious form of the disease, is more prevalent in South Central Asia, where it affects 30 million children.In Bangladesh, more than 40% of children under five are affected by stunted growth. Stunted growth"Friendly" gut microbes play a crucial role in extracting and using nutrients in food.It has been suggested that malnutrition damages this process.Childhood malnutrition can lead to long-term problems such as stunted growth（生长萎缩）, cognitive problems and weakened immune systems.In this study, a team at Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, and the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital, assessed 64 malnourished children aged from six to 20 months. Malnourished children were either given Plumpy'Nut, an enriched peanut-based food that is the mainstay（支柱）treatment for severe malnutrition worldwide, or Khichuri-Halwa, which is produced in Bangladesh and has rice and lentils（扁豆） as its main ingredients.Both types of food include milk powder and micronutrients, such as iron.1。
从高考英语阅读理解题谈强化学生阅读能力
从高考英语阅读理解题谈强化学生阅读能力国家教育部颁布的《普通高中英语课程标准》中指出：基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。
这种语言运用能力的形成是建立在学生语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等素养整体发展的基础之上。
英语教学大纲也明确指出“根据高中学生认知能力发展的特点和学业发展的要求，高中英语课程应强调进一步发展学生综合语言运用能力的基础上，着重提高学生用英语获取信息，处理信息，分析问题和解决问题的能力”。
由此可见，高中英语教学的任务不仅仅是教会学生理解所学的英语课文材料，更为重要的是通过有效的阅读教学活动的开展，对学生进行学习方法的指导和阅读技能的训练，教会学生怎样运用恰当的学习策略开展学习活动，从而逐步培养语言学习的能力。
一、诠释高考英语阅读理解题，明确强化方向 1、所占分值比例大。
高考英语阅读理解题型的分值要占高考英语总分的40/150，是所有题型中占分比例最大的一道题，在阅读理解上是否得高分，是能否取得高考英语好成绩的关键。
据对近年高考形势预测分析，高考涉及短文的部分在试卷中的比重越来越大。
听力占30分的2001年高考试卷，通过短文语篇来考查学生英语能力的试题共计127.5分，占试卷总分的80%以上。
语法部分也不是单纯地考查语法知识，也是通过完整的语篇来考查的。
短文语篇可能更加多样化，短文将多为适应时代特征和贴近实际生活的文章，很可能就是报纸上的新闻段落。
短文的长度也会略有加长，继续加强对学生阅读速度的要求。
语言能力的考查不受大纲限制，阅读中允许有“超纲”的单词。
试卷中将继续出现一些不注释汉语但不太影响对考试内容理解的生词。
2、所测试能力综合。
自1989年来，原国家教委考试中心每年都在全国范围公布当年英语学科的《考试说明》，《考试说明》对阅读理解的要求做了明确的规定，阅读理解部分主要测试考生以下能力：⑴掌握所读材料的主旨和大意；⑵了解用以阐述主旨的事实和有关细节；⑶根据上下文判断大纲附表以外的某些词汇和短语的意义；⑷既理解个别句子的意义，也理解上下文之间的逻辑关系；⑷根据所读材料进行一定的判断，推理和引申；⑸正确领会作者的观点和态度。

暴露年龄的六大身体部位We all try to strike that balance between aging gracefully -- and not looking as though we're older than we really are.我们都渴望从中找到一个平衡点——一方面能够优雅地老去，另一方面又希望自己看上去比实际年龄小。
With age, your skin thins and grows less elastic（有弹性的）. As a result, wrinkles, age spots and skin tags bee more mon. Generally speaking, you can promote healthier skin by bathing in warm -- and not hot -- water. You should also wear sunscreen and not smoke.But even if you've done everything right, there are some body parts that just seem destined to betray your age no matter what you do. We asked our Facebook friends what body part reveals their age. The most mon responses? Neck, hands and face. We've put together a list of the six body parts that betray your age first -- with some helpful hints on how to keep yourself from looking too old, too fast. What do you think? Let us know in ments.1. HandsAlways exposed to the elements, your hands probably give away your age more than any other body part. Experts say sun damage is the biggest culprit（犯人）. As a result, you should apply sunscreen to the backs of your hands, in addition to a good hand cream at least once a day. According to one expert, it's important to keep your hands well moisturized with thick creams -- particularly overnight. And the sooner you establish a daily regimen the better. Even though hands usually start looking older in one's 20s, most people don't recognize the signs of aging until their 30sor 40s, and most people won't start changing their routines until they notice the appearance of serious aging signs.2. FaceFreckles（雀斑） may look adorable when you're a kid but dark spots on your face as you grow older are just, well, unattractive. But there is good news. There are ways to lighten your dark spots and brighten your skin tone. According to some experts, the easiest thing you can do to treat all types of hyper-pigmentation is to add abrightening serum to your regimen. In addition, try eating a diet that's good for your skin. When it es to wrinkles, it may actually work to your disadvantage to be thin, oddly enough. Indeed one study from 2009 found that losing as little as 10 pounds can age a woman by four years.3. EyelidsAs you grow older, your eyelids will stretch and the muscles supporting them will grow weaker. Unfortunately, this can lead to a surplus of fat above and below your eyelids, creating unflattering bags under your eyes. "My eyelids are melting and soon will hang in front of my eyes like little curtains," said one of our Facebook friends. Short of surgery, there are a few things you can do to help with this issue, including drinking more water, getting more sleep and consuming less salt. There also are a few creams on the market that many believe reduce puffiness（虚胖）.4. NeckNora Ephron wasn't the only one worried about a turkey neck. "The truly astonishing thing is how a body part can age 10 years almost overnight. My hands did. My neck seems to have collapsed in the space of a single year," said one post-50 friend.Indeed your neck often looks older before anything else because its skin is thinner than that on your face. Preventative measures such as the use of the same products you put on your face are a good idea -- so long as you do it before your neck has dramatically changed appearance. Makeup artist Bobbi Brown has offered some tips on hiding a turkey neck, such as wearing a nice scarf or a pretty blush that will draw attention away from your neck.5. ElbowsUnfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done about the loose skin developing on your elbows. You can try using a moisturizer or cream -- or wearing long-sleeved shirts. Take fort in the fact that you are not alone -- most people suffer from dry skin on their elbows as they age. To blame are the sun, stress, smoking, not enough liquids and the loss of sweat and oil glands.6. HairNot only does your hair bee thinner and grayer with age, but it also bees more dry and brittle. Experts say you can add moisture to your hair by using certain oils. You can also give your strands some TLC by scrapping harsh chemicals and trying protein-rich hair treatments instead.。

婴儿阅读产品不能提高阅读能力纽约大学的一项新研究说明，教婴儿阅读的光盘、闪卡〔抽认卡〕和书等产品不能帮助提高婴儿的阅读能力。
Despite all the DVDs, flashcards, and books designed to teach babies to read, these products do not help infants develop reading skills, according to a new study by researchers at New YorkUniversity's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development."While we cannot say with full assurance that infants at this age cannot learn printed words, our results make clear they did not learn printed words from the baby media product that was tested," said senior author Susan Neuman, professor in NYU Steinhardt's Department of Teaching and Learning.Parents, however, seemed to put confidence in these products. In exit interviews, parents reported that their babies were learning to read from these products and that their children had benefited in vocabulary development."It's clear that parents have great confidence in the impact of these products on their children," Neuman explains. "However, our study indicates this sentiment is misplaced."The study, published in the Journal of Educational Psychology, involved 117 infants, ages nine to 18 months, who were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. Babies in the treatment group received a baby media product, which included DVDs, word and picture flashcards, and flip books for parents to use over a seven-month period; babies in the control group did not receive any materials.During a seven month period, the researchers conducted one home visit, four laboratory visits, and took monthly assessments of the babies' language development.In the laboratory, the researchers tested the babies' skills by seeing if they could recognize letter names, letter sounds, vocabulary, words identified on sight, and prehension. They did this by using a bination of eye-tracking devices and standardized tests to study outes at each phase of development.Using state-of-the art eye-tracking technology, which detects even the slightest eye movements, the researchers could closely monitor how the infants shifted their gaze and their attention from one location to another when shown specific words and phrases.The results showed no differences between the babies exposed to the reading products and the control group on 13 of the 14 assessments. The only assessment that showed a difference was parents' beliefs that their baby was learning new words.。

英国某组织鼓励孩子参加户外活动A campaign is being launched t o encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.英国正在发起一个活动，鼓励孩子们每天用半个小时的上网时间去参加户外活动。
The newly formed Wild Network – a collaboration of nearly 400 organisations - is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks.Organisers say it is the UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and o utdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general wellbeing.A documentary film, Pr oject Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.Andy Simpson, chairman of the W ild Network, said: "The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation."Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declini ng and the ability to identify common species has been lost."Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers, camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV seri es Why Don't You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to "switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead".。

Reading in the Era of the College EntranceExaminationIn the ever-evolving landscape of education, reading remains a cornerstone of academic excellence and personal growth. Especially in the context of the college entrance examination, reading proficiency has become a crucialfactor that determines a student's success. This essay explores the significance of reading in high school, its impact on exam performance, and ways to enhance reading comprehension skills for optimal results in the college entrance examination.Firstly, reading is fundamental to building a solid knowledge base. It is through reading that students gain exposure to diverse ideas, perspectives, and historical events. This breadth of information not only broadens their horizons but also helps them develop critical thinking skills. In the college entrance examination, these skills are invaluable as they enable students to analyze complex texts, identify key arguments, and formulate coherent responses.Moreover, reading regularly improves vocabulary and language proficiency. A rich vocabulary is essential for effective communication and expression in both written and spoken forms. It also enhances comprehension, allowing students to understand more complex texts with greater ease. This is particularly beneficial in the examination setting, where students are required to quickly grasp the meaning of passages and respond accordingly.However, the importance of reading is not just about accumulating knowledge or improving language skills. It is also about fostering a love of learning and a curious mindset. Reading opens doors to new worlds, introduces students to different cultures, and encourages them to question and explore. This enthusiasm for learningtranslates into a more engaged and motivated approach to studying, which can significantly boost exam performance.Given the significance of reading in the college entrance examination, it is crucial for students to develop strong reading comprehension skills. One effective strategy is to read a wide range of materials, including novels, newspapers, and academic articles. This diversity helpsstudents become accustomed to different writing styles and levels of complexity, preparing them for the variety of texts they may encounter in the examination.Furthermore, active reading techniques such as highlighting key points, taking notes, and summarizing key ideas can significantly enhance comprehension. These practices encourage students to engage actively with the text, rather than passively reading through it. They also aid in memory retention, making it easier for students to recall information when needed.Additionally, regular practice and timed reading exercises are essential for honing reading skills. By simulating exam conditions, these exercises help students manage their time effectively and improve their speed and accuracy in comprehending texts.In conclusion, reading is a vital component of academic success in the college entrance examination. It builds knowledge, enhances language proficiency, fosters a love of learning, and improves comprehension skills. By reading widely, employing active reading techniques, and practicingregularly, students can significantly boost their chances of achieving optimal results in the examination.**高考时代的阅读**在不断变化的教育环境中，阅读仍然是学术卓越和个人成长的基石。

带孩子购物对脑部发育有利虽然说小孩子们经常会在商店里乱跑让家长一阵头疼，但一项研究却认为带孩子购物对幼儿脑部发育有利。
因为该研究认为孩子同家长在购物时的互动有利于培养幼儿们的社交能力并使他们获得更多的快乐。
Children may sulk（生气，愠怒） and play up when being dragged round the shops by their parents, but retail therapy is actually good for their brains.The interaction between child and parent while shopping helps young people develop social skills and promotes happiness - even if a bawling toddler show s few signs of it at the time.According to the joint study by Oxford Uni versity and the Open University, sh opping trips are just as beneficial for the ch ild's development as painting o r drawing activities.They also found shopping is better for a child's social skills than watching TV or reading.The two universities made these conclusions after studying the results of an economic survey in Germany.This survey looked into the daily routines and habits of 800 parents with two and three-year-olds.It recorded higher perceived levels of happiness among the children who had taken part in activities such as art s and crafts, and shopping.Researchers Professor Paul Anand and Dr Laurence Roope added that the more retail therapy the toddlers were exposed to, the happier they seemed to be, an d the more developed their everyday skills became.Shopping may be benef icial because it involves c hanges of sc enery from shop to shop, which improves the child's motor and social skill s more than a sedentary （久坐的） activity, the report continued.Reading and storytelling together ranked high for happine ss, but being left to read on their own, or watch TV, had a 'negative impa ct' on the c hild's development.Pr ofessor Anand from the Open University said that during shopping trips 'children are getting visual stimulation, they've getting out of the house and into a new environment.'They're bumping into other families where social skill s come into play and they may get the chance to do something physical in a shop like run around.'The researchers now want to test their theories on older children to se e what activities influence development among other age groups.The research was presented at the annual conference of the Royal Economic Society.。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)技巧小结及练习题
【英语】高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)技巧小结及练习题一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解As is known to all, nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad.Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most importantis to learn advanced(先进的) science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier(障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect(忽视) the disadvantages.（1）According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT__________.A. having more chances to get good jobsB. improving foreign language ability quicklyC. visiting well-known places of interestD. learning very modern science and technology（2）The underlined word "instructors" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "__________".A.neighborsB.teachersC.strangersD.classmates（3）According to the passage, why do some students find part-time jobs?A.Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.B.Because they want to make full use of their time.C.Because they are not interested in studying.D.Because they have to support themselves.（4）The passage mainly tells us that __________.A.studying abroad is a good way to learn moreB.everything has two sidesC.people should think twice before going abroadD.going abroad has more advantages than disadvantages【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了出国学习的坏处和好处，旨在告诫人们对出国学习要慎重考虑，不能盲目跟风。

贡攻州赤折市抓扮学校父亲年龄大孩子相貌丑寿命长研究发现，父亲年龄大的孩子相貌也较丑，但是这些丑孩子的寿命却会比其他人长。
Older fathers have uglier children, researchers have claimed after linking age to genetic mutations.The finding comes weeks after leading scientists reported children born to men over the age of 45 run a higher risk of having autism〔孤独症〕 and psychiatric disorders.With age, sperm-producing cells do not copy a man's DNA as effectively, leading to genetic mutations.Martin Fielder, an anthropologist〔人类学家〕at Vienna University, told the Sunday Times: 'Every 16 years the mutation rate doubles. Other researchers found 25 mutations per sperm in a 20-year-old, but at age 40 it is 65 mutations. By 56, it doubles again.'The effect is very visible - someone born to a father of 22 is already 5-10 per cent more attractive than those with a 40-year-old father and the difference grows with the age gap.'In contrast, women pass on a maximum of 15 mutations to their baby, regardless of age, according to the study published in the journal Nature.Surveying a group of six men and six women, researchers showed them each 4,018 photographs of 18-20-year-old men and 4,416 of women the same age, and asked to rate their attractiveness. Those with older fathers were consistently rated less attractive.However, the offspring of older men, though less attractive, are likely to outlive their peers with younger fathers, it is claimed.Professor Lee Smith, a geneticist at Edinburgh University, told the Sunday Times other research found such children have longer telomeres〔染色体终端〕 - the caps on the end of chromosomes - which are associated with longer life.But the mounting research connecting parents' age with autism is cause for concern, experts warn. Autism is an umbrella term for a range of developmental disorders that have a lifelong effect on someone's ability to interact socially and communicate.In the UK, around one in 100 adults is thought to be affected by autism, mostly men, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.Researchers said men should be advised about the potential problems in order to help their personal decision-making when it came to having fathering children at older ages.They warned that advancing paternal age posed a risk of 'numerous public health and societal problems'.Among well-known older dads are Simon Cowell, 54, whose son was born earlier this month, and comedian Frank Skinner whose first child was born in 2021 when he was 55.。
英语阅读学习中的不良表现及能力提高策略
英语阅读学习中的不良表现及能力提高策略高中英语阅读教学涉及的体裁很广泛，题材也很新颖。
其中包括了英美国家的历史、地理、文化风俗和风土人情等方面的内容，融思想性、知识性和真实性为一体。
因为学生的时间、能力和活动范围有限，所以在限时阅读中掌握一些阅读技巧和阅读技能，对提高阅读效果显得尤为重要。
背景知识影响着阅读理解的准确性。
背景知识对理解的影响力大于语言知识，缺乏相应的背景知识会造成对阅读理解的障碍。
因此在课文阅读教学中，教师要注意帮助学生了解文章的背景知识，结合他们所掌握的语言知识，如词汇、语法功能和话题等进行阅读。
学生有了运用背景知识阅读的能力，对所读的文章的思路就较为清晰，对文章的理解也更为准确、深刻。
逻辑推理属于主观理解的范畴，是阅读理解的深层阶段，它贯穿于整个的阅读活动的始终。
深层理解的推力判断是阅读理解中的难点，其要求学生能根据已知的信息以及文中的内在联系，去挖掘文中没有明确表达出来的意思，即隐含意义。
它包括作者或文中人物的态度的推理、目的推理、原因推理和结果推理等。
其技巧是通过文章所陈述观点或描述的事实，引出合乎逻辑的判断或推理。
推理能力的训练，能使学生通过捕获的有效信息，正确地推断出文章的隐含意义。
高中学生的阅读常常包括课内、课外的学习性阅读、理解性阅读以及日常生活中的信息性阅读等几种形式。
学习性阅读就是学生学习怎样阅读，从课本上的对话、课文或教师截取的一些小故事、短材料开始，进行浅显地阅读。
学习性阅读重在领会主要内容，强调速度，培养阅读兴趣、信心和良好的阅读习惯；理解性阅读则是通过阅读获得文章所传导的思想、感情和信息，因此，选材要广泛，文字水平要略高于学生的水平，它注重理解文章的大意、了解作者意图、获取一定的知识；信息性阅读则是人们日常生活中阅读报刊、杂志、信函、电传、报告、说明书、广告及旅游景点介绍等。
它注重获取某方面的信息。
因此在对学生进行阅读训练时可将这三种阅读结合起来，通过大量地、长期地阅读，不断补充新信息，发现好的阅读方法，掌握阅读技巧，以扩大自己原有的知识结构，提高自己的阅读水平。
高三英语备考素材阅读篇—如 何 提 高 学 生 的 阅 读 能 力
中学英语教学不仅要求学生掌握语音、语法知识及一定的词汇量，同时要培养他们听、说、读、写“四会”能力，还要注重培养阅读理解能力。
高中英语教学的核心是课文阅读教学，它的任务具有双重性：第一，对学生进行阅读技能、技巧的训练，培养其阅读理解能力；第二，通过阅读教学，使学生不断获得新的语言知识，提高实际运用英语的能力。
两个任务为了一个目的──“为学生运用和进一步学习英语切实打好基础。
”因此如何培养和提高学生阅读英语的能力就显得尤为重要。
第一，在识词的基础上，引导学生猜词估义，提高理解词义的能力。
作为教师，在整个教学过程中，我认为必须做到精心备课，抓住重点，突破难点，精讲精练，将同义词、同义词组、同义句、一词多义、一词多性等词法和语法知识讲清楚，使学生明白，让学生的知识和能力象滚雪球一样不断地增长和提高，同时尽早地、有意识地培养学生的理解能力，充分利用教材中的对话和短文，适时地提出一些理解性问题让学生作答。
联系上下文猜词意是提高阅读速度的最重要手段之一。
在阅读时，有时会遇到不认识的单词，有时即使是认识的单词，但有新的意思，联系上下文可以帮助理解说词的词义。
有时不必知道生词的确切含义，只要了解其大概意思即可顺读下去，而不致于影响对整个句子或段落的理解。
第二，进行“组视读”(Phrase Reading)训练。
为了加快阅读速度，避免逐字阅读，教师应有意识地帮助学生养成成组视读的习惯。
有意义的语法结构被称作“意群”(英语称作senes groups或thought groups或meaningful mouthfuls)，用叙线号——“/” 把句中意群隔开。
训练学生“扫视”、“意群”的能力，让学生正视文章中一些关键词，如固定短语，引导各种从句的连词等。
因此，学生能一眼同时看到三个单词或五个词，甚至更多的词，逐渐改变一眼只看一个单词的阅读习惯。
尼拉·史密斯说得好：“如果你想读得快，你必须狼吞虎咽，而不是细嚼慢咽”。

B在一个鲜为人知的旅游景点出现在许多中国旅游博客上之后，越来越多的中国游客正在帮助拯救一个濒临消失的小镇。
只有600人的海湖镇的居民几乎看不到游客开车经过时在加油站停车，但中国游客的突然涌入帮助维持了该镇的经济活力。
游客们到罗马去看泰雷尔湖，这是一个离城不远的浅湖，湖水中沉淀着盐，经常干涸。
根据当地一位老师Rachel Pearce描述，这里有着非常美丽的夜景，再加上盐湖上星星的神秘外观，给人一种行走在星星之间的感觉。
此外，这个城镇远离城市，没有光污染破坏这特别迷人的景色，并且由于位于该国贫瘠干旱的地区，因此很少有云彩破坏夜空。
该景点不断上升的地位使得该镇的汽车旅馆几乎每天晚上都住满了人，尽管当地农民正在遭受两年的干旱，旅游业却使该镇以农业为基础的经济保持了稳定。

营养不良影响儿童的在校表现
A quarter of the world's children are at risk of underperformin g at school because of chronic malnutrition, says UK charity Save the Children.
英国慈善机构拯救儿童称，世界上1/4的儿童因为长期营养不良而有在学校表现不佳的危险。
Missing out on a nutritious diet could severely damage a child's ability to read and write, it said.
The study found that malnourished children suffered irreversible damage; they grew up smaller and weaker, and their brains might not develop fully.
The charity said tackling malnutrition should be a priority for G8 leaders.
They will meet in Northern Ireland next month.
The report - Food for Thought - is based on studies of thousands of children in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam.
Their study suggests that children aged eight who are stunted d ue to malnutrition were 19% more likely to make mistakes reading a simple sentence like "the sun is hot" or "I like dogs" than those with a balanced diet.
They could earn as much as 20% less in adulthood, and the global economic impact of malnutrition could b e up to $125bn (£83bn), Save the Children said.
Nutrition summit
"Poor nutrition is driving a literacy and numeracy crisis in developing countries, and is also a huge barrier to further progress in tackl ing chil d deaths," said Jasmine Whitbread, Save the Children International's Chief Executive.
"A quarter of the world's children are suffering the effects of chronic malnutrition, putting millions of young lives at risk."
The UK government is holding a special nutrition summit in London on 8 June, ahead of the main G8 gathering, wh ich is expected to look at issues such as food security and the need for more African countr ies to have their own national nutrition plans.
World leaders attending tha t summit must "face this crisis and tackle the scourge of malnutrition for goo d", said Ms Whitbread.
