第一篇:晨读英语文本3[范文]
3.X-Sports
Rick Stevenson, 16 years old, spends every minute he can on the mountain.He and his friends go snow-boarding every weekend.“It's incredible,” he says.“The winds are so strong, the boards go 50 miles an hour.” His friend Laura Fields agrees.“No one goes skiing anymore,” she says.“That’s for the old folks.”
Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports.It has its own language, words such as “rage,” “juice,” and “energy.” It has its own clothing, such as skin-tight bicycle suits in rainbow colors or baggy tops and pants.And it’s not for the old or the easily frightened.Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible.And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky, daredevil activities called “extreme sports,” or “X-sports.”In the past, young athletes would play hockey or baseball.Today, they want risk and
excitement—the closer to the edge the better.They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains.They wind-surf near hurricanes, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungy-jump from towers.Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports.A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a
skateboard and have fun.But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill.There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island.It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboards attached to their feet.What makes extreme sports so popular?
“People love the thrill,” says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment."City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging.The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt.” An athlete adds, “Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal.Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing.It’s just too boring.”
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone.Most people still prefer to play baseball or basketball or watch sports on TV.But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.“These sports are fresh and exciting.It’s the wave of the future.The potential is huge,” says Nussbaum.

Best Way to Know a Strange City熟悉陌生城市的最好方法(14日周一)
I was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all.What is more, I could not speak a word of the language.我在一个陌生的城市里并对这座城市一无所知。更糟糕的是当地话我一句也不会说。After having spent my first day in the duanwenw.com center, I decided to lose my way on the second day, since I believed that this was the nearest way of getting to know the strange city.第一天我在市中心待了一天,第二天我决定迷路,因为我相信迷路是了解一座陌生城市的最快办法。
I got on first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops.Then got off it and walked on.The first two hours passed pleasantly enough.Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch.After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way.The trouble was that the only word I know of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly.我上了第一辆路过的公交车,坐了几站地后下车步行。前两个小时非常愉快地过去了,然后我决定返回旅馆吃午饭。走了一段时间之后我想我还是问问路吧。可问题是我唯一会说的一个词就是我所住的街道的名称,并且发音还很糟糕。
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller.He smiled and handed me a paper.I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands.I gave him some money and went on my way.The next person I asked was a policeman.The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm.There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and duanwenw.com left again.I nodded politely and began walking in the point.我停下来去问一个长得比较友善的卖报人,他微笑着拿给我一份报纸,我揺揺头又重复了一遍我住的街道的名称,他却把报纸放到我手里,我给了他钱,继续走我的路。我同的第二个人是个警察,他仔细听我说,微笑着并很温和地拉起我的胳膊,他的眼里流露出一种奇怪的神情,他指左指右又指左。我礼貌地点了点头按他指的方向走去。
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer And green fields were appearing in either side of me.I had come all the way into countryside.The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.大约一小时以后我发现周围的房屋越来越少,两边开始出现一片片绿野,我一路来到了乡下。现在我唯一能做的事就是找到最近的火车站了。

母爱英语短文:Side Stepping躲到一边(18日周五)
The photo album worn and old is sitting on the pile.She flips the cover open just to reminisce awhile.On the first page there she is, a baby in her lap, her son when he was one year old;she smiles as she thinks back.That was taken in the park where she took him to play.Funny how it sometimes seems like only yesterday.But other times it seems those days are distant memories.And all we have reminding us are pictures such as these.杂物上放着一本陈旧的相册。她轻轻地翻开,仅仅是打算回忆片刻。第一张是她一岁的小宝宝坐在她的腿上。她面带微笑地回想着。这张是她带他在公园玩时照的,奇怪的是,这笑容依稀是在昨天,但那些日子却已是遥远的记忆。能让我们再次回味的也只有这些照片了。
She sees a picture of him with his second birthday cake, duanwenw.com and smiles as she remembers of the face that he would make.When trying to blow out the candles he would have a fit.He tried so hard to blow them out but they would all stay lit.So Mom came to the rescue with a waving of her hand.The same time that he blew on it she waved a little fan.She smiles as she thinks back at all the things when he first tried, when she would lend a helping hand and then just step aside.她看到一张儿子和他两岁时的生日蛋糕的相片,记起他常常做的鬼脸。当他准备好使劲吹蜡烛时,却怎么也吹不灭,于是妈妈过来帮助他,挥了一下手。在他又吹蜡烛时,她轻轻煽了一下。她微笑着回想着他所有的第一次,她帮助了他,又躲到了一边。

第三篇:英语晨读计划书
计划书
1.背景:晨读低效率,效果不佳,时间虚度。英语学习重在专攻,因而我组准备集中时间练习口语与发音。
2.目的:小组内每一个人都能按着自己的水平来学习,不会让英语水平较高水平的同学因进度统一而被耽误,也不会让水平较差的同学因为进度过快而收获甚微。
3.时间:鉴于英语的学习以三个月为一个轮回效果最佳,所以准备接受检验时间为三个月后。
4.计划:
(1)每日每人根据自己水平背诵一段短文,第二天晨读大家相互背诵推荐,找出最优或
最地道的一句话,将
(2)每周日早背诵完,复习一周的句子
(3)要求每个人的背诵段落都有
模仿其语音语调。力求完全一致。
(4)每晚睡前15
读,熟悉模仿纯正美语语音语调。
5.目标:组员美语发音纯正,正常对话可以进行。不需要太高难度的对话,因为直接进行口语训练单词基础太过薄弱,6.时间要求:小组成员每天最晚六点十五到。迟到请全体吃早饭。
7.地点:小树林,如过两天太冷则转移到六食堂二楼。
以一个月为限定,如效果好就继续,出现问题再进行调整。7个人的都整理在本上汇总。一共mp3诵读,六点十分到六点四十背诵,七点到七点 mp342句话。加自己的六段背诵。5遍以上,宿舍人多可小声读或在走廊再求达到高水平对话。20分钟为诵读时间,听至少下学期结合三个月单词训练后二者汇总,
