Little Women(excerpt)Jo was the first to wake up on Christmas morning,but soon they were all awake and they went downstairs.“Where's Mother?” asked Meg.“I don't know,”said old Hannah.She had lived with the family since Meg was born,and was more like a friend than a servant.“Some poor woman came to the d oor and your mother went off to see what was needed.”“She'll be back soon,”said Meg.She looked at the presents for her mother which were in a basket under a chair,ready to bring out at the right time.“Where is Amy's bottle of perfume?”“She went to put some pretty paper round it,I think,”said Jo.Suddenly,they heard the outside door close.“Here's Mother!Hide the basket,quick!”said Jo.But it was Amy.She came in quickly.“Where have you been,and what's that behind you?”asked Meg.“I ran to the shop and changed the little bottle of perfume for a big one,”sai d Amy.“I spent all my money to get i t, and I'm not going to be selfish any more!”Meg smiled proudly and put her arms around her sister.Then there was another bang from the outside door,and the basket was pushed back under the chair.The girls ran to the table,ready for their breakfast.“Happy Christmas,Mother!”they shouted.“Happy Christmas,little daughters!”said Mrs March.Then the smile disappeared from her face.“Girls,listen.Not far away is a poor woman,Mrs Hummel,with a new baby.Her six children are in one bed,trying to keep warm,as they have no wood for a fire.There is nothing to eat and they are hungry and cold.Will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?”For a minute no one spoke.Then Jo said,“Mother,I'm so glad you came back before we began to eat!”And the girls quickly began to put their breakfast in a basket.“I knew you would do it,”said Mrs March,smiling.She took the girls and Hannah to a cold,miserable little room in an old building,where they found a sick mother,a crying baby,and a group of children with white,frightened faces.The children were on the bed under a blanket,trying to keep warm.The woman almost cried with happiness when she saw the girls.Hannah,who had brought wood,made a fire.Mrs March gave the mother tea and hot food,then she dressed the little baby gently.The girls put the children round the fire and fed them like hungry birds.It was a very happy meal,although the girls ate none of it.But no one was happier than those hungry young ladies who gave away their breakfast on Christmas morning.Mrs March was surprised and pleased when she saw her presents later.There was a lot of laughing and kissing and explaining.Then,for the rest of the day,the girls were busy.Jo liked to write plays,and the four of them were going to act one that evening.They had learned their words,and had worked hard to make strange and wonderful clothes for all the different characters in the play.《小妇人》节选圣诞节清晨,琼是第一个醒来的,可随后她们就都醒了,然后下了楼。

高中英语Module2TrafficJam英美文化欣赏教案含解析外研版必修40927324【导读】雾都孤儿“Oliver Twist”,是英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯的作品。

它以伦敦为背景,讲述了一个孤儿悲惨的身世及遭遇,最后在善良人的帮助下,查明了身世并获得了幸福。

Oliver Twist(excerpt)“Wolves tear your throats!”muttered Sikes,grinding his teeth.“I wish I was among some of you; you'd howl the hoarser for it.”As Sikes growled forth this imprecation,with the most desperate ferocity that his desperate nature was capable of,he rested the body of the wounded boy across his bended knee;and turned his head,for an instant,to look back at his pursuers.There was little to be made out,in the mist and darkness;but the loud shouting of men vi brated through the air,and the barking of the neighbouring dogs,roused by the sound of the alarm bell,resounded in every direction.“Stop,you white­livered hound!”cried the robber,shouting after Toby Crackit, who,making the best use of his long legs,was already ahead.“Stop!”The repetition of the word, brought Toby to a dead stand­still.For he was not quite satisfied tha t he was beyond the range of pistol­shot;and Sikes was in no mood to be played with.“Bear a hand with the boy,” cried Sikes,beckoning furiously to his confederate.“Come back!”雾都孤儿(节选)“让狼咬断你们的脖子!”赛克斯小声地说,牙齿咬得格格直响。

Unit 2 Heroes英美文化欣赏【导读】《飘》绝对是部值得再三品味的好书,文字优美,情节跌宕起伏、扣人心弦,虽然其中由于作者的主观因素,对于美国南北战争的评价并不客观和全面,但以文学角度来说,这绝对是一部绝世佳作,值得一看。

【节选】It seemed strange now that when she was growing up Ashley had never seemed so very attractive to her.In childhood days,she had seen him come and go and never given him a thought.But since that day two years ago when Ashley,newly home from his three years' Grand Tour in Europe,had called to pay his respects,she had loved him.It was as simple as that.She had been on the front porch and he had ridden up the long avenue,dressed in gray broad cloth with a wide black cravat setting off his frilled shirt to perfection.Even now,she could recall each detail of his dress,how brightly his boots shone,the head of a Medusa in cameo on his cravat phi,the wide Panama hat that was instantly in his hand when he saw her.He had alighted and tossed his bridle reins to a pickaninny and stood looking up at her,his drowsy gray eyes wide with a smile and the sun so bright on his blond hair that it seemed like a cap of shining silver.And he said,“So you've grown up,Scarlett.” And,coming lightly up the steps,he had kissed her hand.And his voice! She would never forget the leap of her heart as she heard it,as if for the first time,drawling,resonant,musical.She had wanted him,in that first instant,wanted him as simply and unreasoningly as she wanted food to eat,horses to ride and a soft bed on which to lay herself.现在看来有些奇怪,当她还没有长大成人的时候,为什么从不觉得艾希礼有什么动人之处呢?童年时,她看见他走来走去,可一次也不曾想过他。

Unit 2 The universal language【导读】The garden party是英国女作家Katherine Mansfield的短篇小说。

阅读下面有关花园聚会的场景描写,一起享受有音乐、鲜花、美食的美好时刻吧!【节选】The garden partyThey need not have worried. The weather was perfect—warm,and without a cloud in the sky.The gardener had been at work since dawn,cutting and brushing the lawns,until the green grass shone. And the roses—the roses were wonderful.Hundreds of flowers had opened during the night.You could almost believe that the roses knew about the garden party!While the Sheridan girls were having breakfast,the men came with the marquee.‘Where shall we put the marquee,mother?’asked Meg.‘My dear child,please don't ask me.I'm determined to make you children organize everything this year.Forget that I am your mother.Pretend I'm one of y our guests.’But Meg could not possibly talk to the men.She had just washed her hair.Jose,as usual,wasn't even dressed yet.‘You'll have to go,Laura. You're the artistic one in this family.’Laura flew out of the house,still holding a piece of bread and butter in her hand. Food always tasted delicious out of doors,and Laura loved arranging things. She always felt that she could do it better than anyone else.Four men were waiting on the garden path.They were carrying big bags of tools,and looked very ura wished she had left her bread and butter in the house.She blushed,and tried to look business­like.‘Good morning,’she said,copying her mother's voice.But it sounded so silly that she was ashamed,and asked,just like a little girl,‘Oh,have you come—is it about the marquee?’‘That's right,miss,’said the tallest of the men.He pushed back his hat and smiled down at her.His smile was so friendly that Laura felt better immediately. What nice eyes he had—small,but a lovely dark blue!All the men were smilin g now.‘Cheer up!We won't bite!’they seemed to be saying.How very nice workmen were!And what a beautiful morning!She mustn't mention the morning;she must be business­like.The marquee.‘Well,shall we put it on the lawn over there?’She pointed with the hand that was not holding the bread and butter.They all turned and stared.The tall man frowned.‘I don't like it,’he said.‘You wouldn't notice it there.You see,with a thing like a marquee,you want it where it hits you—bang in the eye,as you might say.’Laura had been brought up in a way which made her wonder for a moment whether a workman should use an expression like‘bang in the eye’to her.But she understood what he meant.‘A corner of the tennis court,’she suggested.‘But the band's going to be in one corner.’‘Having a band,are you?’said another workman.He was pale,with a tired look in his dark eyes.What was he thinking?‘Only a very small band,’Laura said gently.Perhaps he wouldn't mind a very small band. But the tall man said,‘Look here,miss,that's the place.By those trees.Over there.’By the karaka trees.The marquee would hide them.And the karaka trees were so lovely,with their big,shiny leaves and orange fruit.Must they be hidden by a marquee?They must.The men were already carrying their bags of tools across the lawn.Only the tall man was left.Suddenly,he bent down touched a rose,and pulled it gently towards him to smell it.When Laura saw him do that,she forgot about the karakas.He was a workman who loved the perfume of roses.How many of the men that she knew cared about things like that?Oh,how nice workmen are,she thought.Why couldn't she have them for her friends,instead of the silly boys she danced with and who came to Sunday night supper?She liked these men much better.It's all the fault,she decided,of these stupid differences in social class.Well,for her there were no differences.Absolutely none at all,not a single one...And now there came the sound of hammers.Someone whistled,someone called out,‘Are you all right,mate?’‘Mate!’How friendly they were!Just to show how happy she was,how she liked being among these friendly men,Laura took a big bite out of her bread and butter. She felt just like a workgirl.‘Laura,Laura,where are you?Telephone,Laura!’a voice cried from the house.‘Coming!’She ran across the lawn,up the path and into the house.In the hall,her father and Laurie were brushing their hats,getting ready to go to the office.‘I say,Laura,’said Laurie,‘take a look at my coat,can you,before thisafternoon?I think it needs ironing.’‘All right,’she sa id.Suddenly,she couldn't stop herself.She ran up to Laurie and threw her arms around him.‘Oh,I do love parties,don't you!’she cried.‘I'll say I do!’said Laurie's warm,boyish voice.He gave his sister a gentle push.‘Run off to the phone,old girl.’The telep hone.‘Yes,yes;oh yes.Kitty?Good morning,e to lunch,my dear!It will be nothing special—just what's left over.Yes,isn't it a perfect morning?Yes,wear your white dress.One moment—mother is saying something.’Mrs Sheridan's voice floated down the stair s.‘Tell her to wear that sweet hat she wore last Sunday.’‘Mother says you must wear that sweet hat you wore last Sunday.Good.One o'clock.Bye­bye!’Laura put down the phone,took a deep breath,and stretched out her arms.Then she stood still,listening.The house was alive with sounds of running feet and distant voices.Somewhere down in the kitchen,a door opened and closed.Sunlight,and little warm winds,played in and out of the windows. Darling little winds.The door­bell rang,and she heard a man's voice and then Sadie saying,‘I'm sure I don't know.Wait.I'll ask Mrs Sheridan.’‘What is it,Sadie?’Laura came into the hall.‘The flowers have come from the shop,Miss Laura.’And there they were,by the door.Box after box,full of pots of pink lilies.No other kind. Nothing but lilies,big pink flowers,wide open and almost frighteningly alive.园会他们不必担心。

高中英语Module2NoDrugs英美文化欣赏教案含解析外研版必修20928112【导读】《绿野仙踪》是美国作家弗兰克·鲍姆的优秀的儿童文学作品。

作者以奇特的想象力描述了一个小女孩因被旋风刮到奥芝国,和她的三个朋友:狮子、稻草人、铁皮人团结在一起,共同克服困难,战胜险恶,为了实现自己的愿望,不屈不挠地同恶魔斗争,最终如愿以偿的故事。

Wizard of Oz(Excerpt)Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies,with Uncle Henry,who was a farmer,and Aunt Em,who was the farmer's wife.Their house was small,for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles.There were four walls,a floor and a roof,which made one room;and this room contained a rusty looking cookstove,a cupboard for the dishes,a table,three or four chairs,and two beds.Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner,and Dorothy a little bed in another corner.There was no garret at all,and no cellar—except a small hole dug in the ground,called a cyclone cellar,where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose,mighty enough to crush any building in its path.It was reached by a trapdoor in the middle of the floor,from which a ladder led down into the small,dark hole.When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around,she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side.Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of fiat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions.The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass,with little cracks running through it.Even the grass was not green,for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere.Once the house had been painted,but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away,and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young,pretty wife.The sun and wind had changed her,too.They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray;they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips,and they were gray also.She was thin and gaunt,and never smiled now.绿野仙踪(节选)多萝茜与亨利叔叔、爱姆婶婶,一起住在堪萨斯州大草原中部的小木屋里。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games【导读】世界文坛大师欧·亨利的小说素有意想不到的故事结尾,认真阅读下面选取的欧·亨利的名作《二十年以后》,看看小说中的这对情同手足的好朋友20年后的同一日期、同一时间相会时发生了什么故事吧!After Twenty YearsO.HenryThe policeman moved up the avenue impressively.The impressiveness was habitual and not for show,for spectators① were few.The time was barely 10 o'clock at night,but chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh depeopled② the streets.Trying doors as he went,twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements,turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare③,the officer,with his stalwart form and slight swagger,made a fine picture ofa guardian of the peace.The vicinity was one that kept early hours.Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all­night lunch counter;but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.When about midway of a certain block the policeman suddenly slowed his walk.In the doorway of a darkened hardware store a man leaned,with an unlighted cigar in his mouth.As the policeman walked up to him the man spoke up quickly.“It's all right,officer,” he said,reassuringly④.“I'm just waiting for a friend.It's an appointment made twenty years ago.Sounds a little funny to you,doesn't it? Well,I'll explain if you'd like to make certain it's all straight.About that long ago there used to be a restaurant where this store stands—‘Big Joe’ Brady's restaurant.”“Until five years ago,” said the policeman.“It was torn down then.”The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar.The light showed a pale,square­jawed face with keen eyes,and a little white scar near his right eyebrow.His scarf pin was a large diamond,oddly set.“Twenty years ago tonight,” said the man,“I dined here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady's with Jimmy Wells,my best chum,and the finest chap in the world.He and I were raised here in New York,just like two brothers,together.I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty.The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune.You couldn't have dragged Jimmy out of New York;he thought it was the only place on earth.Well,we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time,no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made,whatever they were going to be.”“It sounds pretty interesting,” said the policeman.“Rather a long time between meets,though,it seems to me.Haven't you heard from your friend since you left?”“Well,yes,for a time we corresponded⑤,” said the other.“But after a year or two we lost track of each other.You see,the West is a pretty big proposition,and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively.But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive,for he always was the truest old chap in the world.He'll never forget.I came a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight,and it's worth it if my old partner turns up.”The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch,the lids of it set with small diamonds.“Three minutes to ten,” he announced.“It was exactly ten o'clock when we parted here at the restaurant door.”“Did pretty well out West,didn't you?” asked the policeman.“You bet!I hope Jimmy has done half as well.He was a kind of plodder,though,good fellow as he was.I've had to compete with some of the sharpest wits going to get my pile.A man gets in a groove in New York.It takes the West to put a razor­edge on him.”The policeman twirled his club and took a step or two.“I'll be on my way.Hope your friend comes around all right.Going to call time on him sharp?”“I should say not!” said the other.“I'll give him half an hour at least.If Jimmy is alive on earth he'll be here by that time.So long,officer.”“Good night,sir,” said the policeman,passing on along his beat,trying doors as he went.There was now a fine,cold drizzle falling,and the wind had risen from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow.The few foot passengers astir in that quarter hurried dismally ⑥ and silently along with coat collars turned high and pocketed hands.And in the door of the hardware store the man who had come a thousand miles to fill an appointment,uncertain almost to absurdity,with the friend of his youth,smoked his cigar and waited.About twenty minutes he waited,and then a tall man in a long overcoat,with collarturned up to his ears,hurried across from the opposite side of the street.He went directly to the waiting man.“Is that you,Bob?” he asked,doubtfully.“Is that you,Jimmy Wells?”cried the man in the door.“Bless my heart!” exclaimed the new arrival,grasping both the other's hands with his own.“It's Bob,sure as fate.I was certain I'd find you here if you were still in existence.Well,well,well!—twenty years is a long time.The old gone,Bob;I wish it had lasted,so we could have had another dinner there.How has the West treated you,old man?”二十年以后欧·亨利一名警察上了大街仔细搜索着,这种“仔细”已经习以为常了,不单纯是在表演,也不是有意做给为数不多的行人看的。

【导读】《格列佛游记》是青少年很喜欢读的一本小说。

这本书在1726年出版后,立即取得了巨大的成功。

大人们喜欢读它,是因为它的讽刺功力和诙谐机智的语言;孩子们喜欢读它是因为它是一个如此轻松愉快又有趣的冒险故事。

Culli v er's Tra v els(excerpt)
Unlocking the Chains
My gentleness with the people and my good behavior seemed to impress the Emperor and his advisors,as well as the Lilliputians themselves.As they lost their fear of me,they enjoyed dancing on my hand and even let their children play hide and seek in my hair.I encouraged these friendships in the hope that the people would persuade the Emperor to remove my chains.
His Majesty often had shows put on outside my house.I was especially impressed by the skill and grace of the rope-dancers,who performed on a thin white thread two feet above the ground.But I was shocked to learn that these performances were competitions to select important ministers at Court.Whoever was the best dancer and jumped the highest on the rope would be named a minister.Even those who were already in office were often required to dance on the rope to prove that they hadn't lost their skills.
Flimnap,the Court Treasurer,got his job by jumping one inch higher than any other lord in the kingdom and doing several somersaults on a wooden board balanced on the rope.Reldresal,the Emperor's Private Secretary,who became my good friend,was almost as good as Flimnap.
In another competition,the Emperor held a stick straight out in front of him,changing its height every few minutes.The competitors had to leap over the stick or creep under it at each turn.The winner was the one who did the most graceful leaping and creeping,and who stayed in the competition the longest.Blue,red,and green silk ribbons were awarded to the first,second,and third place winners,who proudly wore their awards tied around their waist.
格列佛游记(节选)
打开锁链
我对人的君子之风和善良的举止貌似博得了皇帝和大臣们的好感,也受到了利立浦特百姓们的欢迎。

一旦他们消除了对我的恐惧感,他们就开始享受在我的手掌心跳舞的感觉,并且还让他们的孩子在我的头发里玩儿捉迷藏的游戏。

我是很鼓励这种友谊的,希望这些百姓能够帮忙劝说皇帝除去我的锁链。

皇帝陛下经常在我的房子外面安排些演出。

我尤其对绳舞者的表演印象最为深刻,这些人是在一条离地两英尺高的白色细绳上表演的,我折服于他们的技巧和优雅的风范。

但是后来我得知这些表演其实是朝廷遴选重要官员的一种竞赛,这让我大为惊讶。

不管是谁,只要舞跳得最好,在绳子上跳得最高,就会被任命为朝廷重臣。

甚至那些已经有了官位的人,也经常被要求在绳子上跳舞,以证明他们的技艺还没有生疏。

财政大臣弗利姆纳普,就是因为能在绳子上比这个国家里的其他任何人都要跳得高一英寸,并且能在绳子上搭的木板上连做好几个空翻才获得这个职位的。

雷尔德里沙,皇帝的内务大臣,本领几乎和弗利姆纳普一样好,后来他成了我的朋友。

在另外一个竞赛中,皇帝手拿一根棍子,平伸在自己面前,每过几分钟就随机改变棍子的高度,参加竞赛的人就要每次要么跨跃过横杆,要么从杆下面爬过去。

最后的赢家是能以最优雅的动作完成跳跃和爬行的动作,并且在场上保持最长参赛时间的人。

蓝色、红色和绿色的丝带分别奖励给冠军、亚军和季军,他们都会非常骄傲地把奖品缠绕在自己的腰上。
