Made of metal, wire, or wood,of sprinas, tubes, and cables, these me-chanical creatures would be ours to com-mand. They would work for us, protect us,and help us set ahead in the world. Mechanical creatures have existedfor at least five hundred years, and someof them were made to look quite human.Yet they were not much more than toys.The cleverest ones could walk, talk, playmusical instruments, or even write with aquillm pen using real ink. They ran onsprinas, pegs, and cobs~ like the innerworkinas of windup clocks or music boxes.Far too expensive for ordinary people toown, these artful toys amused only royal-ty.Comprehension:1.

前言如何使學(xué)習(xí)與快樂相伴,同時(shí)又獲得顯著的學(xué)習(xí)效果,是教育的永恒命題之一,也是教育無止境的追求。當(dāng)我們不再埋首于令人憋悶的習(xí)題集中’而是輕松漫步于學(xué)習(xí)演練中,向著目標(biāo)持續(xù)行進(jìn)之時(shí),美好的變化就會(huì)常常不請(qǐng)自來:知識(shí)會(huì)在不知不覺中浸潤(rùn)你的腦海,能力會(huì)在潛移默化中獲得提高一一而這一切,都是在快樂的過程中,暗暗完成的。 “英語巧克力書系”,就是一套追求“快樂與效果”相結(jié)合的英語助學(xué)用書。它絲毫沒有替代一般輔導(dǎo)用書功用的妄想,而是試圖以伶俐的姿態(tài)、宜人的笑靨,輕輕巧巧地出現(xiàn)在你的面前,相伴你的學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)程?!熬?、易學(xué)、耐瀆、好看”,是它追求的目標(biāo)。我們期望它像巧克力一樣既食而有味,又能給人以營(yíng)養(yǎng);在我們的計(jì)劃中,它是一份薈萃門語、閱讀、寫作等于一體的營(yíng)養(yǎng)套餐,供你享用、回味。 本冊(cè)《閱瀆套餐》(大學(xué)卷),精選短文100篇:題材上,廣泛涉及人文、科學(xué)、歷史、地理、社會(huì)等,表達(dá)方式上,記述、說明、描寫、議論、抒情等兼而有之;文體上,作為一般文體的記敘文、說明文、議論文,無所不備,同時(shí)兼及其他特殊文體,如書信、詩歌、小說、隨筆、幽默小品、序言、導(dǎo)游詞、科學(xué)小品等。在貌似蕪雜、包羅萬象的背后,實(shí)際上暗含如下兒條編撰思路: 其一,強(qiáng)調(diào)閱讀視野的開闊性。逼仄的閱讀素材終究會(huì)導(dǎo)致偏食的惡果,而開放的閱讀則有利于閱讀興味的滋養(yǎng)。此外,基本詞匯的構(gòu)成也因此相應(yīng)變得豐富,對(duì)閱讀能力的發(fā)展大有裨益。 其二,強(qiáng)調(diào)文質(zhì)兼美。富有意義的思想內(nèi)容和富有意味的表達(dá)形式的結(jié)合,應(yīng)是所有“讀本”類圖書的一致追求,在此無需多盲。 其三,強(qiáng)調(diào)文體、表達(dá)方式上的多元性。這可以促使讀者對(duì)文字獲得較為豐富的形式感或語感,有利于后續(xù)閱讀。本書對(duì)選材作了大體的分類,分為9個(gè)大類一一“歷史頻道”、“哲理小品”、‘‘社會(huì)與文明”、“自然縱橫”、“短詩精粹”、“應(yīng)用文”、“科學(xué)視野”、“名作管窺”和“生活向?qū)А?,而?duì)于不宜以上述名目囊括的其他好材料,則以“閱讀加油站”一言以蔽之一一這可以算是一種偷懶的做法,但卻能將事實(shí)上豐富生動(dòng)的一些材料保留住,以利于讀者閱讀興味的繼續(xù)、提升。 其四,在詞匯量的處理上.大體以“大綱為準(zhǔn)適量超出”為原則。這樣的處理,保證了閱讀難易上的適度。 其五,強(qiáng)調(diào)閱讀的情趣效果。如選文講究一定的悄趣戲理趣。書的編排形式上追求圖文并茂等。此外。選文后設(shè)計(jì)的自測(cè)題.以小題量來檢測(cè)閱讀效果,既輕松,又能產(chǎn)生一定的實(shí)效。 另外在選譯過程中,個(gè)別譯作參考了已有定譯。特此鳴謝。東方粟2002年6月
