Cathy傻丫头
这是我在给初中学生练题的时候挑的一道题——有裂缝的水罐。以下是原文,为了阅读起来方便一些,我没有把每道题的选项拍出来,而是把正确答案填上去了。 这篇英语小短文主要讲的是两个水罐——一个完美无损,每次都能装满水,他也因此感到骄傲。另一个有裂缝,每次装水回到家只剩下一半的水了,他因此感到羞愧。但水罐的主人并没有只看到有裂缝的水罐的缺点,而是利用他的特点,在他漏水的那一侧沿路播下了花的种子,每天挑水回家的时候,有裂缝的水罐刚好还能浇浇花。两年后,女主人得到了美丽的花朵。 如果单从题目出发,其实这篇语法选择的难度是适中的。这边中考从去年开始取消了单项选择,改为了语法选择,也就是把语法放进了语篇里进行考查。 我个人是比较认可这样的改革的,把语法放进了语篇去理解学习,提高学生的阅读语感。 然而学生并不觉得,他们跟我说,原本起码是一个个单独的句子挖空,这下好了,要看的题目那么一大段。但其实还好,语法选择主要考查语法点,语篇并不难理解,加上是改革不久,题目设置也是比较简单的(此处仿佛听到了学生的吐槽:“老师,你认为你所认为的简单会是我们认为的简单吗?”)。 但我这次只是想分享一下这个小故事,平时在给学生挑题的过程中,很经常会遇到一些有意思的阅读——有哲理的小故事或者是不同地方的风俗习惯。让学生除了巩固语法以外,还能带来一些思考,或者是拓宽一下知识面。 这个故事,在原文中总结的道理是我们每个人都有自己的“裂缝”,但正是这些“裂缝”让我们生活更有趣。所以我们不要害怕自己的“裂缝”,也就是不要害怕自己的缺点。 而我不仅看到了那个有裂缝的水罐,也看到了那没有裂缝的水罐。 无疑他是优秀的,每次都能装满水,给主人带来了便利,也很省心,他因此而骄傲。但别忘了,正因为他是完美的,他也承受了比别人重的水。 当然,我也看到了水罐的女主人是非常有生活的智慧的,东西坏了,本来就是比较糟心的事情,但她看到了另一面,在漏水的那一侧撒下了花的种子,其实也是往生活的土壤里撒下了美好的种子。水罐能浇水,花会开,生活依旧美好。 以后就偶尔分享一下学生阅读题里有趣的文章吧。
半半童学
英语小故事带翻译如下:
原文:
On the third day after he was born, Little Elephant went with his mother to the banks of a stream, and there he saw a bird in the sky flying here and there. Little Elephant said: “If I could fly, I could see even more things, it would be great!”
In order to learn to fly, Little Elephant climbed a tree and, with a yelp of “Ai Yo!”, fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, the snake said: “Little elephant, we all have our own abilities. I can’t fly, but I can sleep in a tree.”
Lion said: “I also can’t fly, but I can jump across a wide river.”Tiger said, “I can’t fly, but I can swim!”
Little Elephant’s father and mother said to him, “We elephants have great strength, incomparably greater than that little bird
Little Elephant understood. He used his long nose as a hook and moved a large branch.
译文:
小象生下来的第三天,跟妈妈来到小河边,看见一只小鸟在天空飞来飞去。小象想:“要是我也会飞,可以看到更多的东西,多好呀!”小象爬到树去学飞“哎哟”一声,摔了一个大跟头。
蛇看见了说:“小象,我们有自己的本事。我不会飞,可是,我会在树上睡觉。”狮子说:“我也不会飞,可是,我能跳过宽宽的大河。”老虎说:“我不会飞,可是我会游泳!”
爸爸妈妈对小象说:“我们象的力气大,这是小鸟不能比的。”小象明白了。他用长鼻子一钩,大木头就搬走了。
