前言

　　北京大學(xué)出版社自2005年以來已出版《語言與應(yīng)用語言學(xué)知識系列讀本》多種，為了配合第十一個五年計劃，現(xiàn)又策劃陸續(xù)出版《21世紀(jì)英語專業(yè)系列教材》。這個重大舉措勢必受到英語專業(yè)廣大教師和學(xué)生的歡迎?！　∽鳛橛⒄Z教師，最讓人揪心的莫過于聽人說英語不是一個專業(yè)，只是一個工具。說這些話的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和教師的用心是好的，為英語專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生將來找工作著想，因此要為英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生多多開設(shè)諸如新聞、法律、國際商務(wù)、經(jīng)濟、旅游等其他專業(yè)的課程。但事與愿違，英語專業(yè)的教師們很快發(fā)現(xiàn)，學(xué)生投入英語學(xué)習(xí)的時間少了.掌握英語專業(yè)課程知識甚微，即使對四個技能的掌握也并不比大學(xué)英語學(xué)生高明多少。而那個所謂的第二專業(yè)在有關(guān)專家的眼中只是學(xué)到些皮毛而已?！　∮⒄Z專業(yè)的路在何方？有沒有其他路可走？這是需要我們英語專業(yè)教師思索的問題。中央領(lǐng)導(dǎo)關(guān)于創(chuàng)新是一個民族的靈魂和要培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新人才等的指示精神.讓我們在層層迷霧中找到了航向。顯然。培養(yǎng)學(xué)生具有自主學(xué)習(xí)能力和能進行創(chuàng)造性思維是我們更為重要的戰(zhàn)略目標(biāo)，使英語專業(yè)的人才更能適應(yīng)21世紀(jì)的需要，迎接21世紀(jì)的挑戰(zhàn)?！　∪缃瘢本┐髮W(xué)出版社外語部的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和編輯同志們，也從教材出版的視角探索英語專業(yè)的教材問題，從而為貫徹英語專業(yè)教學(xué)大綱做些有益的工作，為教師們開設(shè)大綱中所規(guī)定的必修、選修課程提供各種教材。《21世紀(jì)英語專業(yè)系列教材》是普通高等教育“十一五”國家級規(guī)劃教材和國家“十一五”重點出版規(guī)劃項目《面向新世紀(jì)的立體化網(wǎng)絡(luò)化英語學(xué)科建設(shè)叢書》的重要組成部分。這套系列教材要體現(xiàn)新世紀(jì)英語教學(xué)的自主化、協(xié)作化、模塊化和超文本化，結(jié)合外語教材的具體情況，既要解決語言、教學(xué)內(nèi)容、教學(xué)方法和教育技術(shù)的時代化，也要堅持弘揚以愛國主義為核心的民族精神。因此，今天北京大學(xué)出版社在大力提倡專業(yè)英語教學(xué)改革的基礎(chǔ)上，編輯出版各種英語專業(yè)技能、英語專業(yè)知識和相關(guān)專業(yè)知識課程的教材，以培養(yǎng)具有創(chuàng)新性思維的和具有實際工作能力的學(xué)生，充分體現(xiàn)了時代精神。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Classic tours of culturally rich destinations are simply no longer enough. Heather Chart, general manager of the London-based tour operator CTS Horizons, says their traditional tours of Beijing and the Great Wall didnt seem to satisfy all their customers. "We were hearing feedback like, Its a pity we didnt have more time to talk to locals and We want to feel what its like to live in the country." So last year the company introduced a new tour to Wuzhen, a historic cobbled town outside Shanghai, which included classes in Chinese painting and calligraphy, cooking lessons and sessions with a traditional Chinese doctor.Tourists want to experience authentic local life——and to do it more leisurely," Chan says.　　Creating an experience for travelers who share the same interest creates a sense of community——and that keeps customers coming back. Las och Res, a Swedish tour operator that specializes in rural vacations in non-Western countries, says that nearly two thirds of guests make a repeat booking. Las och Res uses home-stay accommodations in villages and prepares travelers with generous packets of literature in advance of their trips, so they can better relate to locals they meet. At roughly three weeks each, theyre also longer than the average tour. "Travelers need time to have in-depth meetings with local people," says founder Christian Jutvik. "Second class on an Indian train is always going to be more interesting than an air-conditioned tourist coach." Anke Samulowitz, a 41-year-old health manager from Stockholm, has traveled with Las och Res five times, from Haiti to Indonesia. And she has made friends for life. "The people who go on these trips think similarly," Samulowitz says. "I met two girls on a trip to Equatorial Guinea and we kept in touch and decided to go to India together."
