为了吸引更多的老师参与进来，我把英语教学论坛的一个活动重新发布一下，希望感兴趣的老师们可以加入，共同来做！
亲爱的各位老师，朋友：
英语学习在我国日益受到重视和关注，然而老师们在教学中、学生们在学习中却依旧面临着缺乏英语学习环境，缺乏地道的学习材料等各种问题。事实上，网络带给我们的丰富环境中，资源并不缺乏，只是需要我们去收集、去整理、去共享，为己为人所共享。基于此，我们英语教学论坛想发起一系列活动，让大家共同来做些事，为我们的教学、学习生活创造更丰富的内容，带来更便利的资源！
希望有兴趣的老师同学共同参与进来！
下面是我们的系列活动1：
【活动名称】: 资源共创 发挥网络集体优势
——西方文化特色英语阅读篇章集锦
（Best authentic English passages collection）
【活动目的】：阅读，一直以来都是英语教学中的重中之重。学生通过每日阅读篇章的练习，不仅仅是训练阅读技巧，改进阅读能力，提高阅读分数，更是一种输入英语语言文化，拓展词汇句型最为关键和可行的方式。因而，对于教师而言，为学生选择适合的典型的阅读篇章，能够帮助学生极大地提高阅读效率和英语学习效率。
但是，当前市面上各种琳琅满目的阅读材料，滥竽充数者有之，翻译中文者有之，面对这样的状况，一则学生不知道该选择什么样的材料，二则非地道的文章读来不但乏味，对学生学习地道的语言益处也不大。因而，如何获得地道的展示西方文化、英语语言知识、西方风土人情的阅读文章，我相信，一定让很多老师大为头疼。
因此，本活动希望集合网络中不同地区不同学校老师们的集体力量，编制一套地道地展示英语语言文化特点的中小学生阅读材料（适合初学者和中级学者阅读），共同收集具有西方文化特色、风土人情特色、英语语言知识特点以及展示时代发展的各类文章。
我们每个人贡献一篇文章，10个人就是10篇，20人就有20篇，30人就有30篇，40人就有40篇……
活动所收集的阅读材料将根据文章体裁、主题分类整理，并制定成册，以PDF版、Word版分享给大家，以供各位老师在日常教学中参阅或直接打印便可使用。
【活动时间】本活动集中时间为2月18日-4月20日，希望它可以不断延续下去……
【参与要求】任何人，只要有兴趣都可参与
文章形式：可以是结合阅读完型训练的，也可以是纯粹了解西方文化的小阅读、风趣故事
要求：给出文章难度等级、文章类型等信息，建议给出适合阅读的年级、文章字数信息
因为涉及到版权问题，最好能给出文章的出处。若为原创文章，请署名。

是否可以根据教材的不同版本，针对每个单元进行设计，阅读辅助英语教学会更好。

==> 朱老师这个提议非常好。我们可以分为两个系列来做，一个是根据学生阅读水平的发展递进的阅读材料，一个是围绕现有教材的辅助阅读材料。两个可以同时推进。欢迎更多的老师参与进来哦！
在 2011年2月20日 下午2:57，朱佰武 <zbw...@gmail.com>写道：
现在的阅读材料，一般不与教材接轨，学生、老师都感觉吃力，结合教材进行阅读，可以提高学生学习兴趣，学生愿意学习、阅读啦，我们的效果要好些，同意，阅读也可以帮助学生巩固知识，同时了解西方的文化。

各位老师好：
提出一些建议，希望能讨论。
以为学好英语阅读需要以下几点：
1. 文化基础，推荐《苏菲的世界》。
2. 长句的理解。
3. 文章起承转合的理解，副词的理解（例如yet的用法，as的用法）。
先推荐罗素的这一篇文章：《THE PROBLEM OF CHINA》

My name is Jerry and I am a college student at Syracuse University. I am in my sophomore year and I am studying Business Administration. I like college so far and I’ve had mostly good experiences. One issue I did have last year was my roommate situation. I didn’t get along with him at all. It made for an interesting year.
David Cohen was who I was assigned to live with my freshman year. Most colleges select your first year roommate for you. I guess it is part of the experience. Luckily, during the years that follow, students can pick their own person to live with. I could write an entire book about the things that bothered me about David, but spending that much time thinking about it is probably not a good idea. One major thing about David that I won’t forget is that he was always on his cell phone. In the freshman year dorms students are provided with a land line. Students of course bring their own cell phones, but the land lines were provided. David was a fast talking, pushy and self centered. He was always blabbing on his phone loudly at all hours of the night. Sometimes he would have his cell phone in one ear and the land line in the other. He eventually got a hands free device for his cell phone to make it easier. He would pace around the room shouting into both phones. It drove me crazy.
By November of that year David’s parents realized that he was talking too much. His dad got the cell phone bill and it was astronomical. During the month of October David had run up a $400 bill. The total airtime used was 1400 minutes. This was way over his allotted minutes. His dad was furious. He limited David’s phone right away. They had a Family plan and it allowed the family members to talk to each other for free. David was now only able to call his mother or father. He was crushed for a little while, but he was back in action within a week. David sold all of his books and dropped a few classes. This gave him some cash to work with. He went out and bought his own cell phone. So his dad wouldn’t find out, he got a prepaid plan with another service provider. His late night talking started up again. I couldn’t get any sleep. Of course I asked him to quiet down and not talk on the phone after 10 but he didn’t listen.
Eventually David ran out of minutes on his pre paid phone. He didn’t have any money left so he couldn’t get another. At this point I had thrown away the phone for the land line. I had my own cell phone and he couldn’t use it. The semester was coming to an end. David hadn’t done much school work at all so he failed out. The college wouldn’t let him come back. During the spring semester I was assigned a new roommate. It worked out. This new guy was quiet and spent most of his time studying. I was in heaven! I guess that first semester was a learning experience for me. I’m just glad it is over!

I can't figure out how to submit a document on your site. My Chinese is not good!:) here is another passage for you to use if you like:
My name is Dave Navin. This spring break I am thinking about heading to Denver, CO for vacation. I’m from New York so I haven’t been out west very often. Denver will be a nice change of pace. I can also check out the great ski mountains just two hours west of the city. There are endless attractions in the greater Denver area.
Since NY is so far away from Colorado I will probably have a layover in one of the Midwestern cities like Cleveland or Cincinnati. The spring time is pretty much in the tail end of the peak season in Colorado so I’ll have to pay a lot for travel and lodging. My girlfriend’s brother is a travel agent so I will have to ask him to help me out in getting some good rates. Having talked to him in the past about traveling I know he is going to tell me to go in the off season to get a better rate. He tells all of his clients this. I understand his point, but I’ve never liked planning my vacations around the peak seasons.
I’m not a huge skier so I will probably stay away from the ski resorts. I’ll spend more time off the beaten path avoiding the expensive tourist traps. Ski resorts are notorious for being overpriced because they can be. The other day I saw a special on the Discovery Channel about some old mining towns in the Denver area. That’s what I plan on visiting. I love history. While I’m in the city I’ll maybe see a show in the theater district and if I’m feeling crazy I’ll check out the red light district if Denver has one. It should be a great time!

American English and British English
适合阅读对象：英语初学者二级（初中一二年级或小学五六年级）
Do you want to know about the differences between American English and British English? At first, the language in Britain and America was the same. In 1776 America became an independent(独立的) country. After that, the language slowly began to change（变化）. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall”. Today, most British people talk about “autumn”, but Americans still(仍然) talk about “fall”. At the same time, American English and British English started borrowing(借) words from other languages. For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese; the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish.
In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English, so he changed the spelling of many words. That’s why the words “colour, centre and traveller” are spelt(被拼写) “color, center and traveler” in American English.
The differences are greater in the spoken language. For example, Americans say dance /dæns/, and in England they say / dɑ:ns/. In America, they say not/ nɑːt/. In England they say/ nɔt/. However（然而）, most people from the two countries do not have any difficulty(困难) in understanding each other.
根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
1. When did the language begin to change?
A. After America became an independent country.
B. In 1828
C. Only a few years ago.
D. When they started borrowing words from other language
2. Today, in _______ most people talk about “fall”.
A. Spain B. Britain
C. America D. China
3.In English, “tornado” came from ________.
A. English B. Chinese
C. American English D. Spanish
4. The differences are greater _______.
A. in the spelling English B. in the written English
C. in pronunciation D. in understanding
5. “Color” is spelt “colour”in _______.
A. American English B. British English
C. Spanish D. French
