內容簡介: |
这套读本的英文原版共分七级,包括启蒙读本和第1-6级。考虑到启蒙读本与第一级篇幅都较少,难易程度也很接近,于是将之合并为第1册,其余2-6级与英文原版相同。这样国内出版的这套读本共包括6册。
从字母表开始,主要侧重于字母的发音与书写、简单的单词与句型,同时强调英文书写,课后附有不少书法练习,让孩子们不仅将英语说得像外国人,而且写得也跟外文书法一样,这是国内英语教学所缺少的一个环节。

關於作者: |
威廉?H?麦加菲,美国著名教育家。1800年出生于宾夕法尼亚州,1826年毕业于华盛顿大学杰斐逊学院。在数十年教育生涯中,他曾担任过迈阿密大学语言学教授,俄亥俄大学校长。自1845年开始任弗吉尼亚大学道德哲学教授。他还帮助组建了俄亥俄州公立学校体系。
早在19世纪初期,麦加菲就意识到,应该给那些孤独的垦荒者和欧洲移民的后代提供普遍的教育,于是他利用自己作为演讲家与教育工作者的天赋,开始为孩子们编写系列教材。这套教材共7册,从学龄前至第6年级。他前后花费了20多年的时间才完成全套教材的编写。这套教材面世后就被美国很多学校选为课本。在75年间销量高达1.22亿,直到今天仍以各种版本流行于西方,被美国《出版周刊》评为“人类出版史上第三大畅销书”,对美国青年的心灵塑造与道德培养产生了史无前例的影响。

LESSON 37
What kind of house is this?
Do you think it is a schoolhouse, or a church?
It looks like a church, but I think it is a schoolhouse.
I see the boys and girls with their books and slates.
When the bell rings, they will go in.
A good child likes to go to school.
LESSON 38
“John! come here. Be quick, and tell me what kind of bird this
is.”
“Do you not know, Henry?”
“Oh, no! what is it?”
“It is a quail.”
“It is the first quail I have seen. Is it good to eat?”
“Yes; but I should not like to kill it.”
LESSON 39
Is not this a dear baby in the crib?
Her name is Kate, and she has big, blue eyes.
You can not see her eyes, for they are shut.
Kate is a good baby; but she will cry if she is hurt, or if she
is not well.
Bess likes to sit near the baby, and to rock her in the
crib.
LESSON 40 REVIEW
Henry Black and Ned Bell live near our house. They go to school,
and I see them go by each day with their books and slates. Miss May
tells the girls and boys that they should be at the schoolhouse
when the bell rings.
So Henry walks fast, and is fi rst at school. He is a good boy,
and wants to keep the rule of the school. Ned is not a good boy. I
do not think he likes to go to school or to church. I saw him try
to kill a quail with a stone. The quail is too quick a bird for
that, and Ned did not hurt it; but I know that a good child would
not try to kill a bird.
LESSON 96
It is noon, and the school is out. Do you see the children at
play? Some run and jump, some play ball, and three little girls
play school under a tree. What a big room for such a small
school!
Mary is the teacher. They all have books in their hands, and
Fanny is reading. They are all good girls, and would not be
rude even in playing school.
LESSON 100
One evening Frank’s father said to him, “Frank, would you like to
go with me to catch some fish?”
“Yes; may I go? and with you, father? ”
“Yes, Frank, with me.”
“Oh, how glad I am!”
Here they are, on the bank of a river. Frank has just pulled a
fine fish out of the water. How proud he feels! See what a nice,
quiet spot they have found. Frank has the stump of a big tree for
his seat, and his father sits on a log near by. They like the
sport.
