For the love of reading

The importance of nurturing (培养) young children as readers has become more and more apparent. Here are four ways to help your child become a reader.

Read aloud.

A six-year study found reading aloud to children every day puts them almost a year ahead of children who do not receive daily read-alouds. 1._ Using texts above the children’s levels gives them the chance to hear high-level vocabulary and absorb complex language structures. Reading aloud below their levels also allows them to relax and enjoy beloved texts.

Encourage close reading from the youngest age.

2._ Use picture book illustrations to strike up deeper questions and conversations. Ask questions you don’t know the answers to so that children will be able to answer in ways that reflect their own ideas.

3._

Entering the world of stories and knowledge should feel like an exciting discovery process. Create visual ways to track the journey. From a reading minute tracker to a “words we learned” or “our big ideas” chart, we can use these visuals to pause for “hip hiphooray (欢呼)” moments.

Honor each child’s unique identity.

Children become great readers by finding connections as they read. 4._ “I notice you like books where animals are the main characters.” “I notice you like books where girls are strong characters.” Even the youngest child will begin to recognize that each person’s reading choices matter.

5._ A child who sees reading as a lifelong, constant companion is more likely to have a lifetime of success.

A.It is a way to bathe children in the power of the written words.

B. Name what you notice about why a child is drawn to a text.

C. Young children can read early and should be reading all year.

D. Hand them a pen when it is necessary.

E. We can do this by asking them questions.

F. Make the journey a celebration.

G. The child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader.

Benefits of Reading

The benefits of reading start with the first book a baby hears and continue into childhood and throughout the child’s life. Here are some reasons why reading is important.

Reading teaches children about the world around them. 1.They are exposed to ways of life, ideas and beliefs about the world which may be different from those which surround them. This builds a store of background knowledge, which helps younger children learn to read confidently.

2.When we read, our brains translate the descriptions we read of people , places and things into pictures. When we are reading a story, we are also imagining how the characters are feeling. We use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situation

Children who read do better at school. And they don’t just do better at subjects like reading, English and history. 3.

Reading is a great form of entertainment! A paperback book or an e-reader doesn’t take up much space so you can take it anywhere and you’ll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag. 4.

Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind. 5.The constant movement, flashing lights and noise are quite stressful for our brains. When we read in silence, the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains.

A. Reading improves concentration.

B. Reading develops a child’s imagination.

c. We seem to have forgotten how to relax and how to be silent.

D. Children learn new words and greatly enlarge their vocabulary.

E. They do better at all subjects and they do better all the day through school.

F. You can read while waiting for a friend or during a flight delay at an airport.

G. By reading, children learn about people, places and events outside their own experience.

Walking for the Heart Disease

Walking is one of the most important steps for the recovery of heart disease. Time and speed are two vital aspects of walking for people with heart disease. One must walk for at least thirty five minutes per day. ________1.________ The following understanding will help them to walk.

Why walking?

Walking is a must for a heart patient. ________2.________ First, it reduces weight, controls sugar, and reduces stress. It also gives the joints (关节) enough movement, fresh air – if you walk in the morning. Regular walks help in the control of blood pressure. But the most important advantage is that it gives fitness to the heart.

________3.________

Start walking slowly. Gradually increase the speed. Feel when the angina (心绞痛) is about to come. Stop, the feeling will go away. Walk again, but now the speed will be slower than the last time. Keep walking now and the angina will not come. This is the correct speed.

How to start?

However, do not walk more than ten minutes a time.

Dos and don’ts on physical activity:

It is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poem---more so than for most pieces of prose (散文). This isn’t always easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, I feel, necessary.

As with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged. They might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warm-up discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poet’s, or to identify stressed words and syllables.

You might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussions about poems. This can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.

I’m a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. If your school has the facilities, you might like to:

divide your students into two, or even three groups

give each group a different cassette or CD and tasks to work on

then they come back together to share what they have learned.

Remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.

Finally, don’t forget to encourage art for art’s sake. Listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. Many good song lyrics (歌词) could be termed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.

1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. An English student will have difficulty understanding Li Bai’s poems.

B. an English student will have some difficulty understanding Walt Whitman.

C. A Chinese student will have some difficulty understanding Du Fu’s works.

D. An American student will have some difficulty understanding William Shakespeare.

2.What kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity？

a. They’d better predict what the poem is about.

b. They’d better have a warm-up discussion.

c. They will share their own works with their classmates

d. They should know the stressed words.

e. They should make clear the stressed syllables.

f. They should first go to an actor.

A. abcf　　　　　 B. abde　　　　　 C. cdef　　　　　 D. bcdf

3.Who do you think is this passage written for?

A. The students.　 　 　 B. The poets.

C. The teachers.　 　 　 D. The readers.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. How to use poems to develop the students’ skills.

B. Listening to poem is more difficult than reading prose.

C. The schools should encourage the students to study poems.

D. Preparations should be done before teaching.
