大學英語閱讀（第2冊）

前言

　　本套教材是計算機輔助外語教學的大背景下，大學英語閱讀課程教學改革與探索的一個結(jié)晶。　　首先，該教材在使用方法上實現(xiàn)了新的突破。傳統(tǒng)的大學英語閱讀教材一般為紙質(zhì)教材，學生利用課余時間閱讀，教師在課堂上講解，存在的一個不足是教師難以有效監(jiān)控學生的閱讀情況。例如，學生是否閱讀了，讀了多少，讀懂了多少，難點在哪里，等等，面對龐大的學生群體，教師難以逐一了解和掌握。該教材則是利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)克服這一不足的有益嘗試。教材分為紙質(zhì)部分和網(wǎng)絡(luò)部分，紙質(zhì)部分的閱讀內(nèi)容要求學生課外閱讀，不限時，然后在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上完成閱讀練習；網(wǎng)絡(luò)部分的閱讀內(nèi)容則要求學生在老師規(guī)定的時段，上網(wǎng)限時閱讀。每一個學生有一個登錄號，老師可實時、方便地掌握所教班級學生的課外閱讀進展情況，并可以在線答疑、討論。系統(tǒng)將統(tǒng)計每個學生的答題正確率和每一道習題的正確率，為教師課堂講解把握重、難點提供依據(jù)。期末時，系統(tǒng)將根據(jù)學生的閱讀量、閱讀練習正確率、是否在規(guī)定時間完成閱讀內(nèi)容等自動給出學生成績，作為教師給定學生平時成績的參考依據(jù)。這樣，就實現(xiàn)了教師對學生課外閱讀情況的有效跟蹤了解，有利于提高課堂講解效率，使教師對學生平時成績的評定有根有據(jù)。同時，學生通過上網(wǎng)學習，為適應(yīng)大學英語四、六級考試機考做好準備?！　∑浯?，該教材在體例上也有所創(chuàng)新。全套教材分為一、二、三、四冊，分別供第一、二、三、四學期使用，難度由淺入深、循序漸進，視難度情況配有注釋；每冊八個單元，分專題組織閱讀材料，便于學生圍繞某個專題獲取相關(guān)知識和信息，設(shè)計的專題包括學習與成長、健康與人生、人與自然、環(huán)保與社會、科學與文明、文化與溝通、時政與經(jīng)濟、人物故事，等等，有利于學生拓展視野，提高綜合素質(zhì)；每個專題下有快速閱讀文章、深度閱讀文章和美文欣賞，文章后配有理解練習題，每學期配有期中、期末測試題各一套?！　”咎捉滩脑诓邉?、編寫過程中得到了成都理工大學、四川理工學院、重慶交通大學等有關(guān)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和老師們，西南交通大學出版社的李濤副社長、王婷副總編輯以及其他有關(guān)編輯老師的大力支持和熱情幫助，在此向他們表示衷心的感謝。同時，還要向提供閱讀素材的作者們表示誠摯的謝意?！　∠抻跁r間和水平，書中失誤、不妥之處在所難免，懇請廣大讀者批評指正。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　3. Review your statements. Get a feel for what you are spending. Where is your money really going? You may often find some errors and double charges. Look at hidden fees from all the bills you pay. Confirm that some of your regular income is going to a savings account on a monthly basis. If you have an investment account, take a close look at what you have: stocks, funds, bonds, cash, gold. Know what you have and then ask yourself how it feels. You dont need to have a finance background to know whether your money situation is letting you sleep at night.　　4. Get back to basics. This applies to every area of your life. Do you need to be spending so much on margaritas? Do you need another pair of jeans or shoes? Do you need a gym membership in a hot club you never use? Everyone knows where they are "leaking" money. For some its on clothes, others its on food, and others its on personal beauty treatments, Ask yourself what changes you can make that only you would notice.
