①At the beginning of every school year,I feared coming home with that first night of homework after a summer of fun.And I feared getting a teacher who had a long list of rules and a stare that could kill a cat.

But there was always one part of beginning a new school year that I enjoyed.I always liked going to the store to arm myself with new②school supplies even if I didn't need them.

Sure,my pencils,erasers and notebooks from the previous school year may have had some life left in them.The pencils had a few centimeters of lead铅leftover剩余物.The notebooks had unused sheets of paper.But this didn't matter.Every year,Dad would take us to Wal-Mart and let us buy③the newest and coolest pencils,erasers and notebooks.Besides school supplies,many parents also took their kids to buy new clothes and schoolbags just in time for school.

I guess many of my classmates and I must have shown up to school on the first day with something that smells like a new car.We'd keep our new pencils，bags and notebooks on top of our desk a little bit longer,just to④make sure our classmates see them.

All of this buying⑤sounds a little environmentally unfriendly.But our parents seemed to think that buying these school supplies was worth it if doing so meant we'd work a little harder in school.Who knows?Perhaps we'd even start loving to do our math homework.

I guess many of my classmates and I must have shown up to school on the first day with something that smells like a new car.我想我和我的许多同学在学校出现的第一天一定是带着全新学习用品感觉就像带了辆新车。

must have shown up属于 “情态动词+have done”结构，用于表示对过去发生动作的肯定推测，“...something that...”为定语从句，something不定代词作先行词时，用that引导定语从句，that在此句中作主语。

句式仿写

政府肯定已经采取了措施降低明年的房价，不是吗？（must have done）

评鉴阅读

读写任务

读完全文，请认真思考，如何环保地处理那些未用过或未用完的学习用品？请根据文章概述现象，分析现象产生的原因，提出个人观点以及应对措施。

写作点睛

本篇写作属于典型的problem-solution pattern（问题—解决模式）的篇章模式的写作。此类作文通常会开门见山地向读者提供一个情景或现象，然后提出某种麻烦或问题，紧接着会提出解决这一问题的方法和途径，最后则描述采用相关方法后可能会出现的积极结果。

Para.1——现象描述

几乎每学期开学，各类未用完的学习用品都会被堆积起来。而家长又会再次给孩子购买全新用品。阅读时，注意话题信息句的积累。

原文信息提取：

1.I always liked going to the store to arm myself with new school supplies even if I didn't need them.

2.My pencils,erasers and notebooks from the previous school year may have had some life left in them.

3.The pencils had a few centimeters of lead leftover.

4.The notebooks had unused sheets of paper.But this didn't matter.

5.Every year,Dad would take us to Wal-Mart and let us buy the newest and coolest pencils,erasers and notebooks.

6.Besides school supplies,many parents also took their kids to buy new clothes and schoolbags just in time for school.

7.Leftover supplies from past years were always stuffed into the living-room desk.

整合重构：

It's common to see that parents will take their children to buy the newest and coolest school supplies in the new term,with leftover supplies stuffed,some of which are even unused.

Para.2——原因分析

阅读时除了积累、整理信息，还应逐渐掌握信息的不同角度和层面。此篇文章可以从家长层面和学生层面分别整理。

1.Our parents seem to think that buying these school supplies is worth it if doing so means we'll work a little harder in school.

2.Perhaps we'll even start loving to do our math homework.

3.lose their appeal

4.All of this new stuff does make us excited about going to school.

整合重构：

This phenomenon offers food for thought.Reasons accounting for it are as follows.For one thing,our parents seemed to think that arming their children with new school supplies was worth it if doing so meant they'd work a little harder in school.For another,students claim that new stuff does make them excited about going to school,unwilling to continue the unused materials with little appeal.What we can't ignore is that some students want to show off the newest and coolest supplies.

Para.3——个人观点和应对措施

阅读不仅是提取和整合信息的过程，也是读者与文本对话的过程。只要逻辑正确、表达准确，观点可以不同。下面一段可以作为思维拓展训练和写作句型积累的素材。

From where I stand,it's an interesting topic but really environmentally unfriendly.It's high time for us to change our habits and live a low energy and low carbon lifestyle.First of all,a campaign can be launched to appeal to more students to save paper and recycle school supplies.Besides,new targets in the senior school can also inspire us to meet new challenges cheerfully.If we can do our part to reuse leftover supplies,we'll find a sense of satisfaction at the beginning of every school year.(黑体字为原文词汇复现)

阅读微技能之文学赏析

文学赏析是人们在阅读文学作品时，通过对艺术形象的感受、体验和对艺术形式的欣赏，得到精神上的愉悦，获得美感享受的一种审美活动。英语中的每一篇优秀文章都有其语篇特色，常体现在内容、语言、结构、文化，以及修辞等方面，而这些也是欣赏英语文学作品的视角。

视角1：修辞

【背景简介】

莉萨·格伦沃尔德(Lisa Grunwald，1959～)是当代美国女作家，著有小说 《你幸福的源泉》(Whatever Makes You Happy)、《新年前夕》(New Year's Eve)，以及《别丢下我》(The Irresistible Henry House)等。一个偶然的机会，她在康奈尔大学的网站上发现了一张“实习婴儿”的照片，于是萌生了写《别丢下我》的念头。《别丢下我》入选2010年亚马逊年度精选百大好书，获评全美独立书商协会年度选书、全美读书俱乐部年度最佳推荐小说、《华盛顿邮报》(Washington Post)最佳小说、《时代》(Time)最佳小说等。片段

Martha Gaines ran the program with an iron fist and a hidden heart,living full-time in the practice house while the undergraduates came and went...With a new school year,a new group of mothers,and a new baby before her,Martha had never felt a deeper need to be in command.玛莎·盖恩斯是课程的负责人，她作风强硬，情感深藏。她全天住在实习房，看着一批批大学生来来去去……随着新学年的开始，玛莎将迎来一群“新妈妈”来带眼前这个新来的婴儿，她感到自己需要控制局面，而且这个需要从来没有这么强烈过。

赏析点睛：an iron fist“铁拳”，用来比喻彪悍的作风；a hidden heart“隐藏的心”，借喻玛莎·盖恩斯在情感上不动声色；用felt a deeper need表现了玛莎·盖恩斯强烈地控制欲。

视角2：语言

【背景简介】

英国著名记者、小说家、散文家和评论家，原名埃里克·阿瑟·布莱尔（Eric Arthur Blair），乔治·奥威尔一生短暂，但他以敏锐的洞察力和犀利的文笔审视和记录着他所生活的那个时代，做出了许多超越时代的预言，被称为“一代人的冷峻良知”。奥威尔一生发表了大量的评论和散文，其最负盛名的政治讽刺小说有《动物庄园》和《1984》。《射象记》这篇散文写的便是奥威尔在缅甸服役期间的一次经历，文笔简洁，思想深刻，让我们从一个新的角度了解到帝国主义的丑陋和罪恶。片段：

They had seen the rifle and were all shouting excitedly that I was going to shoot the elephant.They had not shown much interest in the elephant when he was merely ravaging毁坏their homes,but it was different now that he was going to be shot.他们看到了来复枪，都兴奋地喊着，说我要射杀大象。当大象只是在破坏他们家的时候，他们对大象没有多大兴趣，既然他要被枪毙了，那就是另一回事。

赏析点睛：本文情感与动作的融合也可以在英美文学作品中深度挖掘。阅读文章，尤其是文体风格非常明显的记叙文，体现主人公心理变化的，通常会有明线时间发展线和暗线心理变化线。阅读，需抓住对心理情感变化的描述，则对于文章的理解将事半功倍。
