一日之計在于晨。
晨,是一個柔和的音節(jié),更是一個清新的世界。
萬物從曦光里醒來,云霞從層巒疊嶂間升起,綠葉間響起清脆的鳥鳴,草葉上閃著晶亮的露滴。
一切都是剛剛開始,時間泛著簇新的光。
那“早上八九點鐘的太陽”的光,正灑向綠樹紅墻的高樓,灑向凌霄花開的走廊,灑向每一扇啟開的門窗,和窗前那些或稚氣、或青春的面龐。
城市街巷,抑或山間水濱,凡有學(xué)校的地方,都向世界傳出瑯瑯書聲。
瑯瑯書聲里,有朗朗乾坤。因此,每一所學(xué)校,都有大地上最美的晨光。
由是,那些流轉(zhuǎn)千年的經(jīng)典文字,在嶄新的晨光里發(fā)出了悅耳的、年輕的聲響。
晨光里失去這樣的聲響,教育又何以稱之為生命的
沒有弦歌的學(xué)校是沉悶的,而沒有朗讀的教室是空洞的。
二
在漢語教學(xué)中,歷來以“書聲瑯瑯”形容學(xué)習(xí)氣氛之濃,朗讀被視為有效的學(xué)習(xí)方法。在英語學(xué)習(xí)中,朗讀也是非常有效的學(xué)習(xí)方法。
朗讀好處多,好英語是“讀”出來的。
堅持朗讀,能促進我們深入理解文章、理解文本和書籍,加深印象。因為在朗讀時,不是看一個單詞讀一個單詞,而是首先要去理解整句話、揣摩整篇文本。眼看詞句,口讀音調(diào),耳聽讀音,腦思語義,要求眼、口、耳、腦整體并用,做到“眼先到、腦思考、口讀好”。朗讀者只有全心投入,邊讀、邊理解、邊記憶,才能達到讀的效果。堅持朗讀,大腦就會變得靈敏好用,記憶力、注意力等學(xué)習(xí)能力就能得到提高。
堅持朗讀,能夠提高對英語的敏感度,培養(yǎng)英語的語感,不斷增強語言能力,有助于我們真正從根本上掌握英語。英語與母語學(xué)習(xí)一樣,要在朗讀中培養(yǎng)語感;語感養(yǎng)成了,聽說讀寫才會輕松搞定。持之以恒的朗讀訓(xùn)練能幫助學(xué)習(xí)者練出一口標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的、流利的英語口語。
在朗讀過程中,文字變成了聲音,并且伴之以節(jié)奏、韻律、形象、情感,使人進入了一種美的藝術(shù)體驗。每篇文章、每本書籍都有著“詩”的美,都有著作者美的靈感,而大聲朗讀,可以將這種美表現(xiàn)出來。
在朗讀過程中,朗讀者的情感和情緒可以最廣泛地調(diào)動起來;名篇佳作的音韻美、節(jié)奏美、氣勢美,只有在朗讀中才能真正感受到;文章的起、承、轉(zhuǎn)、合,只有在朗讀中才能深刻地體會到。當(dāng)一個人能夠抑揚頓挫、情感飽滿地朗讀時,也就把自己的理解和感情讀出來了。
讀出聲、讀出情、讀出味,讀出英語的美。
讀經(jīng)典、頌經(jīng)典、習(xí)經(jīng)典,讓經(jīng)典文字發(fā)出最美聲音!
文字是美妙神奇的精靈,字里行間躍動著優(yōu)美的節(jié)奏和韻律。
朗讀吧,讓我們讀出生命精彩!
朗讀吧,享受文字的美麗,享受讀書的快樂!
愿我們所有的學(xué)生,在英語朗讀中越讀越快樂。愛上朗讀,愛上英語。
愿我們所有的學(xué)生,在教師的引導(dǎo)下養(yǎng)成大聲、大膽、大方朗讀的習(xí)慣,持之以恒地堅持朗讀,養(yǎng)成英語朗讀習(xí)慣,形成有效的朗讀策略,讓朗讀真正成為學(xué)好英語的助推器。
讓朗讀成為一種習(xí)慣。這種好習(xí)慣將會伴隨一生,為以后的自我學(xué)習(xí)提升打下一個堅實的基礎(chǔ)。所以,從今天做起,向著目標(biāo)進發(fā)吧!
三
我們越是意識到朗讀之于英語的意義,就越應(yīng)當(dāng)建立真正的晨讀課程。
毋庸諱言,長期以來,我們對于“晨讀10分鐘”的誦讀內(nèi)容并不曾有過整體規(guī)劃、內(nèi)容選擇和體系化建構(gòu),更多的晨讀還未曾進入課程的視野,更未被當(dāng)教學(xué)來看待。
更有甚者,一些英語教師自身也還缺乏朗讀的示范和指導(dǎo)能力,朗讀的興趣也并未整體上得以激發(fā),朗讀能力的提升也缺乏便捷的檢測方式。
鑒于此,我們策劃了這一套“晨讀10分鐘”叢書。
本叢書編寫團隊集結(jié)了大學(xué)、中學(xué)、小學(xué)的名師,整合了英語學(xué)者、教研員與教學(xué)名師的多方智慧,特別是擔(dān)任各年級的主編者,均是飲譽湖湘乃至全國的著名特級教師、正高級教師,他們都有著豐富的英語教學(xué)經(jīng)驗與深厚的英語專業(yè)底蘊。
他們的情懷和專業(yè),值得期待,也值得信賴。
說它是叢書,其實也是產(chǎn)品;說它是產(chǎn)品,其實也是服務(wù);說它是服務(wù),其實也是一套以朗讀教學(xué)范式構(gòu)建的整體解決方案。
一是同步性。我們本著“源于教材、寬于教材”的選文原則,以群文主題對應(yīng)教材的單元主題,同步凸顯學(xué)生的接受心理與成長規(guī)律,以實現(xiàn)人文一體、課內(nèi)外打通。
二是經(jīng)典性??紤]“晨讀10分鐘”的場景特點,所有選文都具有短小精悍、文學(xué)經(jīng)典、音韻和諧的特點,選文凸顯出鮮明的朗讀特色。
三是指導(dǎo)性。所選經(jīng)典篇目均由名家朗誦配音,文字與音頻結(jié)合,線上和線下互動。
四是整體性。支撐本叢書的是四個相關(guān)的產(chǎn)品服務(wù)體系,即朗讀教學(xué)的資源體系、朗讀教學(xué)的示范體系、朗讀活動的拓展體系和朗讀能力的智能檢測體系。

Journey

Week 1
你知道“云海翻騰勢,石松舞蹈姿”寫的是哪座山嗎?它是董必武先生驚嘆于黃山的高峻雄偉而留下的詩句。黃山素有“天下第一奇山”“天開圖畫”“松海云川”之稱,是中國十大名山之一。下面讓我們跟隨作者一起領(lǐng)略黃山之美吧!
Mount Huangshan-a Must to Visit
Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular Beatles’ song "The Long and Winding Road". What is so breathtaking? about the experience is the out-of-this-world? scenes. The rolling sea of clouds you see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we humans are.
The hot spring at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will undoubtedly help you get refreshed?! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets the hotter the spring! Strange, isn't it? But that's how nature is—always leaving us astonished.
What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can't help wondering how hard it was for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights? the whole adventure and offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs.
As the song goes, this long and winding road will never disappear, and it will always stick in^{registered} the visitors' memory. It sure does in mine. While you're in China, Mount Huangshan is a must? to visit.
賞析
本文描寫了作者攀登黃山的經(jīng)歷,并通過介紹云海、溫泉、石階等描繪 了黃山令人噴噴稱奇的景色和獨特之美。文章用語優(yōu)美而簡潔,使用了很多 形容詞和副詞來描述自然景色和作者感受,如前兩段中的 long and winding、 breathtaking、out-of-this-world、rolling、tiny、hot、refreshed、amazing、 astonished 等。此外,作者還運用了一些精妙的動詞,如 remind of、can't help wondering、highlight、stick in等。用詞精確、簡練,讓攀登黃山的過程顯得生 動有趣,如文章所說,令人印象深刻。文中句式的表達也是豐富多樣的,如 what 引導(dǎo)的主語從句:“What is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes.”;由 something 作先行詞,省略了that的定語從句: "The hot spring at the fot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb."; the ^+ 比較級..the ^+ 比較級的比較狀語從句:“thecolder the temperature gets the hotter the spring";反義疑問句“Strange, isn't it?";在由 though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句中,又套用一個由關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)的定語從 句 :"Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure and offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs.”這些句式長短不一,變化多樣,讀起來讓人猶如歷經(jīng)爬 山的過程。反復(fù)誦讀并體會這些詞的巧妙用法,將會極大地豐富我們的語言!

Week 2
“要么讀書,要么旅行,身體和心靈總有一個要在路上?!边@句話源自電影《羅馬假日》。旅行總能帶給我們些什么:也許是見識,也許是溫暖,也許是一份終身相伴的友誼。下面故事中的作者就是一位在旅行中收獲頗豐的幸運兒!
Kindness Brought by Travel
Travel does have some dangers, but there is a kindness that coats every corner of the world.
In almost every city, we have found kind-hearted people that have either opened their hearts or their homes. My friend Agelika is one of them.
When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country. I was in Berlin, Germany, on my month-long overseas study tour in Europe. My team and I had one night to spend there. However, while most of them decided to stay indoors and relax, I did not want to miss the chance to explore Berlin.

I visited many major attractions around the city that night. When exhaustion set in^{registered} , I checked the time on my watch, it was two o'clock in the morning!
Quickly, I walked to a subway station. As I got a subway ticket back to the hotel, I realized that it was my father's birthday—the first birthday I couldn't celebrate with him because he had passed away a few months earlier. Before I could begin reminiscing about my father, I heard train wheels screeching to a stop.
I dashed onto the train. At first, I was thankful to have made it onto the train. But that relief quickly turned to panic when I noticed that the train was heading in the wrong direction!
I looked around the nearly empty carriage and saw a girl about my age sitting quietly by the window and then I approached her.
"Hi, do you speak English? I'm lost. Can you help me?" I asked, showing my ticket to her.
It was good luck that the girl understood my problem. She tried to tell me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train. But my anxious mind couldn't follow her instructions.
Without thinking, I blurted out?, “Can you come with me?"
Her face froze at my ridiculous? request. Noticing her surprised look, I realized my abruptness?, saying shyly, “Sorry. I shouldn't have asked you for that favour. " With those words, I bent my head and tried to reconsider my embarrassing situation. Suddenly, a soft voice came into my ears:“Yeah, I'd like to. I have enough time, anyway." The girl, calling herself Agelika, asked me what had happened to me and was sorry to hear the death of my father. She comforted me and opened her heart to me, telling me her stories. We kept talking as if we had been friends for ages.
We shared our life stories, our heartaches and our hopes for the future. When we got off at the next subway station, she insisted on accompanying me to my destination on another subway. It was 3 a. m. We exchanged our telephone numbers before parting. Believe it or not, our friendship has remained till now. What a world of kindness!
賞析
本文是一篇記敘文,講述了作者年少時在柏林街頭迷路,并乘地鐵坐反了方向,后得好心人幫助,返回酒店,并與好心人成為好友的故事。文中運用了許多精彩的動詞來描述事情的發(fā)展和經(jīng)過,同學(xué)們在誦讀時可以重點關(guān)注,如coats every corner of the world、exhaustion set in、begin reminiscing about、screeching to a stop、dashed onto the train、turned to panic、heading in thewrong direction,blurted out,froze at my ridiculous request 等。在記敘文中,動詞的恰當(dāng)使用絕對是文章的加分項,它不僅有助于清晰地呈現(xiàn)事件的經(jīng)過,也能使文章讀來生動有趣,引人入勝。此外,本文中避免了反復(fù)使用 somebody作主語,取而代之的是穿插使用了無靈主語的句式。所謂無靈主語,是一種英語語法結(jié)構(gòu),常用非人稱主語表達抽象概念、心理感覺、事物名稱或時間、地點等意義;謂語卻常常使用“有靈動詞”表示人或社會團體的動作和行為。文中非常典型地運用了無靈主語的句子有“Butmyanxiousmindcouldn'tfollowherinstructions. ""Her face froze at my ridiculous request. ""a soft voice cameinto my ears”等。仔細觀察這些句式,同學(xué)們會發(fā)現(xiàn),每個句子的主語(下畫線為橫線的部分)都是無靈主語,以及它們的謂語(下畫線為波浪線的部分)都是表示人的行為動作的動詞。這些無靈主語的句子,與我們平常所用的句子交替使用,會使得表達更加靈活、生動,讓讀者讀來生趣盎然。
