A. 英语短文阅读
At an exhibition of the world's best swordsman, the third-place fencer took the stage. A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest swordsman.
His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile.
"Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!"
"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father."
世界上最伟大的击剑手
在一场世界最佳击剑手表演中，排名第三的击剑手上场了。一只苍蝇放了出来，剑划了一个弧，他将苍蝇劈成了两半。观众欢呼起来。紧接着排名第二的人将一只苍蝇切成了四半。现场一阵沉默，人们期盼着世界上最伟大的击剑手出场。
他的剑锋以一个巨大的弧线划了下来－－然而那只昆虫还在继续飞行!观众被惊呆了。最伟大的击剑手完全错过了他的目标，然而他还在微笑着。
“你为什么这么高兴？”有人嚷道，“你没击中!”
“啊，”剑手答道，“你刚才没有很仔细地看。苍蝇还活着，是的－－但他永远也做不成爸爸了。”

An American, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident. They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered St. Peter explained that there had been a mistake. "Give me $500 each," he said, "and I'll return you to earth as if the whole thing never happened."
"Done!" said the American. Instantly, he found himself standing unhurt near the scene.
"Where are the others?" asked a medic.
"Last I knew," said the American, "the Scot was haggling price, and the Canadian was arguing that his government should pay."

Jonesie The Great Lion Hunter
A small village was troubled by a man-eating lion. So its leaders sent a message to the great hunter, Jonesie, to come and kill the beast.
For several nights the hunter lay in wait for the lion, but it never appeared. Finally, he told the village chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait for the lion.
In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the sound of blood-curdling shrieks coming from the pasture. As they carefully approached, they saw the hunter on the ground, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion.
"What happened, Jonesie? Where is the lion?" asked the chief.
"Forget the damn lion!" he howled. "Which one of you idiots let the bull loose?"

一天早上，一只狐狸看到了一只公鸡。他想：这是我的早餐。
他朝公鸡走来，对他说：“我知道，你能唱得非常好听，你能唱给我听么？”公鸡很高兴。他闭上眼睛开始唱歌。狐狸看到这些抓住它放到自己的嘴里走了。
在田地里的人们看到了狐狸。大喊大叫：“看，看！狐狸抓住公鸡逃走了。”公鸡对狐狸说：“狐狸先生，你能理解么？人们认为你叼走了公鸡。告诉他们这是你的，不是他们的。”
狐狸张开她的嘴说：“公鸡是我的，不是你们的。”就在那时，。公鸡跑到了树底下。

I. 如何培养少儿英语阅读
小学英语教学旨在培养儿童的学习态度，学习兴趣和良好的语音、语感，并强调“听说”领先，“读写”跟上。但在实际教学中我们往往较重视听、说、写能力的训练和培养，而在读的方面较为忽视。语言技能是语言能力的重要组成部分，它包括听，说，读，写四个方面的技能及这四项技能的综合运用能力，而提高阅读能力则是提高听，说，读，写能力的关键。通过阅读扩大知识，增加词汇量，交流时就不会言不达意，写作时才能内容丰富，语言地道，那么应该怎样搞好英语阅读教学，同时提高小学生的英语阅读能力呢?
一、培养学生的阅读兴趣
兴趣是最好的老师，是学习积极性中最现实，最活跃的成分。一个学生只有对英语阅读产生了浓厚的兴趣，才会把阅读看成自己的愿望和需要，才会由被动阅读转为主动阅读，才会有阅读的自信心。相反，如果没有兴趣，阅读就成了一种负担。所以要想提高学生的阅读能力，必须在教学的起始阶段就要注重培养学生的阅读兴趣。
1.精心选择阅读材料
阅读英语应当是轻松愉快，也可以是轻松愉快的。要做到这一点，阅读材料的选择是首要的。也就是要选择生动有趣，富有吸引力而又能启发心智的材料或书籍。小学英语科学普及出版社所选择的阅读内容故事性强，对学生既有吸引力又有启发性，学生很乐意去读和学，教学效果也很好。另外，根据课本所学的知识，并在此基础上，编写和收集小英文故事、小短文等。由于面对是小学生，所以材料内容要生动、有趣，激发小学生的阅读兴趣。材料可选择熟识的童话故事、日常生活情景、各国各地区的生活文化介绍等内容，要让学生感到阅读是一种享受，是欣赏文章，而不是呆板地读文章。
2.给予适当的阅读指导
由于小学生的阅读能力还处于基础认知阶段，对阅读的方法和技能掌握的还不够，我们在训练学生阅读时，应当适时适当地指导学生阅读。这样就会增加学生阅读的自信心，这种指导可以是背景知识的介绍，也可以是阅读方法的指导，在学生阅读之前，介绍与材料相关的背景知识，可以激发学生的阅读兴趣和学习兴趣，达到很好的学习效果。
二、 激发学生的阅读动机
在培养学生阅读兴趣的基础上激发学生的阅读动机，使学生真正感受到阅读带来的成
就和喜悦。而在小学英语阅读教学中，激发学生阅读动机最好的方法就是提问题。 爱因斯
坦也曾说过：“提出一个问题比解决一个问题更为重要，因为有问题，才会有思考，有了思考才有可能找到解决问题的方法和途径。”然而在我们的小学英语阅读教学中，教师讲解—学生自读—教师提问—学生答问的模式却比比皆是，学生在课堂中总是处于“被组织”的状态，主动权始终掌握在教师手中，提问成了教师的专利，学生的任务就是答问。所以，在阅读教学中激发学生的阅读动机，使学生的思维得到充分的调动是非常有必要的。
1.在阅读前设置问题
让学生带着问题去阅读，使教学和阅读更具有目的性。学生通过对问题的思考与回答，就能准确判断出对阅读材料的理解如何。并且使学生对课文的理解更深入。进入高年级阶段英语学习，学生学习能力和效果的分化越来越明显。学习能力较强的学生如鱼得水，提高极大;而学习有困难的孩子却越来越力不从心，赶不上老师的要求和同学的脚步。针对这样的情况，教师应调整方法，让能干的孩子提问，老师则根据问题的难易请相应程度的学生作答，要掌握好“问”和“答”的尺度，让每个孩子在课堂上都有收获和提高。
2.在阅读中解决问题
学生通过提出的问题对课文有了认知后，可通过讨论或小组交流的方法去解决问题，在交流中，他们的思维得到激活，对课文的理解得到了沟通和交流，同时也在无意中培养了他们的小组合作意识，学习效果很明显。学生在解决问题的过程中对文章的理解更深入，同时阅读能力也得到了明显的提高。
3.在阅读后再次提出问题
通过以上的学习交流，学生对课文的内容已有一定的了解，在此基础上让学生自己提出问题，大家共同解决，他们提出的问题可能各式各样，有的与课文相关，有的与课文无关，但在提问题，解决问题与交流中他们的思维都得到了锻炼，提出的问题越多，说明对课文思考的越多，他们的阅读意识和兴趣就会越浓。
三、拓展学生的阅读空间
小学阶段的英语阅读教学往往局限于课本上的阅读材料，而忽视了课外阅读的指导和对阅读材料的再“加工利用”。学生阅读能力的提高绝非一朝一夕所能达到的，所以在日常教学中我们一定要注意逐步渗透阅读教学，哪怕是一小段对话、一篇小短文，老师在读法上都要做必要的指导。
1 .给学生创造良好的阅读环境
课堂固然是教学的主阵地，但教师也要充分利用校园里的设施为学生提供英语课外阅读的机会，精心打造有利于学生英语阅读的环境，使学生在无意识当中提高学习英语的兴趣，丰富英语知识。如：
(1)在校园里设立英语标志牌或标语，为各种教室配上中英文标识。
(2)办好英语黑板报，英语长廊等宣传栏目，刊登英语小故事、英语诗歌、英语文化背景知识等。
(3)利用校园广播或电视网定期播放儿童英语节目，介绍学生喜爱的儿歌、歌曲或卡通片。
(4)办好教室里的英语角。比如，利用板报开辟英语学习园地，利用教室的一角设立英语图书角，为学生交流阅读提供场所，并向学生推荐难易程度适中的读物。
2 .给学生提供多样的阅读形式
故事和歌谣是学生较喜欢的形式，老师可以引导学生将阅读学的内容改编成故事或歌谣的形式，如试着把课文中的对话转变为一段文章，让学生在动中学，在乐中学。这不仅可以增进学生对课文的理解，同时也是提高学生写作能力的一种方法，可以为今后的作文教育打好伏笔。我们还可以参照语文的教学方法，给学生一些图片，让学生进行看图写话的训练，自编故事。另外也可以在教学中加入多媒体的应用，这样可以根据阅读内容呈现情景，使教学过程变得形象、生动、活泼，营造良好的学习氛围，使学生乐学、爱学，激发求知欲望。
四、提高阅读速度
在英语阅读过程中，不同的阅读任务可以运用不同的策略和技巧：
1、 根据上下文猜测词义
小学生在阅读中碰到生词，可根据上下文的信息和句法去推断词义。例如这一段There are many mice in a house. The man of the house gets a cat. The cat kills many of the mice.其中kill是一个新单词，但学生能大概猜出这词的意思。
2、 预测内容
在阅读过程中不断验证和修正自己预测的过程。例如《What am I?》这篇短文，开头What am I? Please guess.就把小学生带入文章的猜想中。接着I’m big，just like a box. I have a big face without a nose or eyes. I don’t have any hands or legs.对要猜想的物品进行直接的描写。使小学生的思路转到类似的几个物品中进行搜索推究。最后根据People，old and young，like to watch me.Do you know what I am?锁定所要猜想的物品。小学生的思路从大到小到点到猜出答案，完成阅读内容，达到阅读目的。在这基础上，进行大量难度相当或略加提高的阅读，每周一节的阅读课学习二、三篇短文，课外每天阅读一篇短文，一个学期共阅读一百二十篇短文。在量的积累时，质的飞跃是必然的，阅读的速度自然加快。理解和速度是检查小学生阅读能力的二个标志。
五、因材施教
由于各个小学生智力发展等多个方面原因，小学生的英语能力差别很大，所以英语阅读教学要针对实际因材施教，提高各层次小学生的的英语能力。把阅读材料分A、B二个层次：A是基础篇。B是发展篇。基础篇是与课本内容相当的短文，是对课本知识的复习。而发展篇是在这个知识点的基础上，从短文的内容、长度、难度略加高一些。
总之，阅读理解能力是一种综合能力。随着英语教学改革的不断深入，对学生综合英语能力的要求也越来越高。阅读能力是英语自学能力的基础，同时又是培养学生综合语言运用能力和自学能力的手段。因此教师在学生开始英语语言学习的同时，就应注重对学生英语阅读习惯及阅读能力的培养和训练，为学生的终身学习打下良好的基础。
