A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin was walking around the shining car.「 this your car,Paul?」he asked.
Paul answered,「Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.」 The boy was surprised.「You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…」 He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
「I wish,」 the boy went on,「that I could be a brother like that.」 Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, 「Would you like to take a ride in my car?」
「Oh yes,I'd love that.」
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,「Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?」
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. 「Will you stop where those two steps are?」 the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
「There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.」
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文學). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有經驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.
A. very well
B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule
D. all of the above
2. The writer was surprised because ____.
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people's rule
3. You are not yet experienced because ____.
A. you don't know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will ____.
A. never ask question
B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story
D. should think of the beginning
5. The topic of the passage is ______.
A. How to draw a horse
B. How to write a story
C. How to make your own rules
D. Trust to your own powers

Ⅲ 急求:適合初三學生閱讀的英語短文,尤其是課外的和現實社會聯系密切的
強力推薦<<英文誦讀>>這本書。。。。
Ⅳ 時事類初中英語閱讀理解
你可以在網上搜索時代周刊
或者是whitehouse,gov
裡面有很多
Ⅳ 適合初三學生閱讀的英語文章
多看點文學名著,古今中外皆可·注意要是自己喜歡看的,這樣即能增長見識,亦能提高自己的閱讀能力。
另外,要多讀雜志,因為雜志是最新的、接近生活的,這樣亦可增長知識#
Ⅵ 適合初中生閱讀的英語雜志
《英語廣場》
內容比較時尚、青春,當中所寫的文章都是中學生比較感興趣的。每期雜志開頭都有2頁彩色印刷的關於名人的語錄。雜志分為「In every issue每期必有」「Readd&Recite美文誦典」「In the news快報""VIP人物」「Discovery發現」「Speak smart脫口而出」「Teen Topic話題」「Over there那邊」「Movie上映」「Literary World名篇」「Sports體育」「Read for fun輕松閱讀」「Living English實戰英語」「Music音樂」「Chicken Soup心靈雞湯」幾個模塊。推薦推薦。。。。而且難度不大,並且附有中英文對照,而且有生詞解釋等.而且價格不高,RMB5.00
《英語角》
「說時尚美語的第一選擇」「一本地道、時髦、好玩、實用的美語口語雜志」
就我個人意見來說《英語角》還是不錯的,內容有點像劇本,主要是通過人物之間的對話這種方式去提高口語(表達)能力的——每一篇東東都有列舉相關的句型句式並進行剖析,而且針對不同的對話背景有相關的背景介紹(文化)。中英對譯。難度不大,適合初中生閱讀(閱讀年齡:14~20歲)
《英語畫刊》(初一~初三)
針對不同水平的學生而量身定做。主要欄目有名著之窗、國際新聞、風雲人物、時文閱讀、五洲四海、卡通列車、文娛天地、體育之窗、我們的園地、英語作文、妙語如珠、你問我答、課測練習、學習指導、閱讀理解、科技縱橫、文化博覽、趣味小品、幽默與笑話等眾多欄目,並配有與英語教學同步的練習和中、高考復習資料。
《瘋狂英語中學版》我還是覺得難度稍微大了點,而且可讀性不太強(我買過一本,但覺得沒有興趣去看)
也不妨可以考慮一下報紙:《二十一世紀學生英文報》有初一~高三版,以閱讀材料為主,而且分為8個版面-主版(熱點),時事頻道,青春校園(講述校園故事),知識之窗(2版),輕松閱讀,英語加油站和文娛空間。最重要的是它的內容與課本內容完全無關,不像《英語周報》《英語輔導報》那樣,它旨在提高閱讀能力和詞句積累,而且有閱讀提示"teens點金」——包括中考詞彙、考點看台、拓展詞彙、真題演練等等,我覺得這個挺不錯,強烈推薦,訂了2年了..
Ⅶ 適合初中生閱讀的英語短文
建議你買《新東方中學生》這本書,該書將娛樂與學習和做人等方面都版進行了融合,權是比較適合中學生閱讀的。 娛樂:常會收錄一下著名的電視劇話電影,當然都是外國的,在看這些的同時,又增長了學習的能力,收獲了課外知識。 學習:該書常收錄一下學習方法的篇章或者一些解題的技巧等,而且不枯燥。 做人:該書還常含有勵志的問題,及學習安排等方面,與生活相聯系,讓人感覺真實。 可能有些地方會看不懂,但可以查字典,不過該書更適合高中生瀏覽,但如果初中生的話,如果水平好一點的話,也是可以的。
Ⅷ 求適合初中生閱讀的英語雜志,有趣且有時事新聞,最好能提高口語的(此條件可有可無)
空氣相對較好的英語教師,大多是由外國人參與,一些地道的,也是有趣的。個人認為,和其他近21比較沉悶一些,怕生可以不看。新東方瘋狂英語的團隊,他們大多非常好,但也有好的和壞的。純屬個人意見。僅供參考。
Ⅸ 適合初中畢業生閱讀的英語短文
《我有一個夢抄想》不錯,襲已經收錄在高中課本里了,你閱讀的時候主要看單詞,把文章理解就好。具體的語法知識可以先不去深究。
在推薦一篇Samuel Ullman的《Youth》(《青春》),非常優美的一篇文章,對你以後的作文有一定的幫助,但也要注意生詞。
另外,你可以看一下《小王子》的英文原著,書店裡都有英漢對照的版本,既不難,也有意義。
還有《夏洛特的網》的英文版,一個很有趣也很有名的故事,可以去書店找找看,這些都是適合英語處於中下水平的人來學習閱讀。
平時可以看一下《瘋狂英語》《英語學習》《21世紀》等報刊雜志,還可以看美片,聽英文歌曲,對提高你的英文水平很有幫助。
