大学英语读书笔记 A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities occupies a central place in the canon of Charles Dickens's works. This novel of the French Revolution was originally serialized in the author's own periodical All the Year Round. Weekly publication of chapters 1-3 of Book 1 began on April 30, 1859. In an innovative move, Dickens simultaneously released installments of the novel on a monthly basis, beginning with all of Book 1 in June and concluding with the last eight chapters of Book 3 in December. Dickens took advantage of the novel's serial publication to experiment with characterization, plot, and theme. He described the work in a letter to his friend John Forster, cited in Rudi Glancy's A Tale of Two Cities: Dickens's Revolutionary Novel, as "a picturesque story rising in every chapter, with characters true to nature, but whom the story should express more than they should express themselves by dialogue." The novel that emerged from his experimentation is now regarded as one of Dickens's most popular and most innovative works.

Dickens's work was very popular with the reading public when it was first published. One review in the magazine Athenaeum stated that A Tale of Two Cities had attracted the praise of a hundred thousand readers. On the other hand, a whole set of critics, most notably Sir James Fitzjames Stephen writing in Saturday Review, criticized the novel precisely for its popularity. "Most of the critics writing in the intellectual and literary journals of the day considered popular success a good reason to condemn a work," explains Glancy. "If the public liked it, they certainly could not be seen to approve of it at all." Modern critical opinion, however, has given the novel an important place among Dickens's most mature works of fiction.

记忆英语单词是一件很不容易的事情，要记下这么多的英语词汇感到有点没有办法抵挡了吗？其实这并没有必要变成一份另人畏惧的差事！现在推荐以下积累英语词汇的方法：Connect:将单词的记忆建立在一个常用主题的基础上更容易记忆单词。建立你自己的单词间的联系还可以用蜘蛛网的方式组织单词。Write: 实际使用词汇能帮助在脑海中真正记住单词。用新的词汇造句或用一组单词或表达方式编故事。Draw:激发出你自身的艺术性画那些和那些新学单词有关部门的图片。你的图片能在今后帮助你激发记忆。Act:将你新学的单词或表达方式用动作表达出来。或者，想象并表演出你可能会使用到那些单词的场景。Create: 用英语设计你的单词卡并在空闲的时间学习。每周都要制作新的单词卡，但是要不停的回顾所有的单词。Associate:不同的单词指定不同的颜色。这种联系方式能在今后帮助你回忆单词。Listen:想一想有没有什么听起来和你新学到的单词接近的单词，特别是一些复杂的单词。将你的新单词和其他单词联系起来以帮助你记住发音。Choose:记得你感兴趣的话题要更容易学习。因此，仔细选择你认为有用的或有趣的单词。就算是选择单词的过程也是一种记忆的手段！Limit:不要试图一天之内记下一本单词！每天限制你自己记忆15个单词，你就会不断的增添自信而不是感到没有办法应付。Observe: 当阅读或是听英语的时候注意那些你正在学习的单词。做阅读理解时，首先要对自己树立信心，每个人都有自己的理解，不一定是你错，而是你和出题人想法不同而已，不要背上太大包袱。然后你应该在课下买一本专门的阅读理解书来看，不一定要做，而是先多读几遍文章和题，自己有个大概想法，然后再仔细琢磨研究答案，思考答案和自己的不同，及时总结很重要！再者答阅读题时要注重规范语言，尽量在原文找答案，用原文话来说建议你在读文章时用笔画出重点语句，边读边画，这样答题时会省很多时间。还有就是平常多读文章，培养语感，要设身处地的从出题人角度考虑，为啥这样问，有啥陷阱，多思考，就有收获。最后一点就是上课注意听老师分析文章做记录，在试卷上标明正确答案，以供复习时看。作文水平：多看作文书，积累好词好句阅读能力：首先练一下快速阅读能力，然后深入到文章中，体会文章的思想感情，就可以了。〔自己的体会哦〕 我的方法是多看文摘类的杂志，当然看些故事类的杂志也挺好的，但是得选质量好的，我比较喜欢，语文阅读，文汇报，陕西民间文学，读者，青年文摘，故事会，童话大王等等，虽然有的别人觉得是闲书，但是关键的是积累，就像鲁迅说的：走的人多了也便成了路；学习阅读也是这样，看得多了，无形中会有许多的积累，在里面你可以学到好的句子，好的议论文事例，要是喜欢摘抄就更好了，我只是爱看故事书，可是写作文时总是不知不觉的就用上了以前看到过的内容，有种“踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫”的感觉。
