作为老师，您还在为寻找适合学生背诵的阅读材料而烦恼吗？作为学生，你还苦于背不过单词，完形阅读看不懂吗？如何背单词？----读美文，背单词！此专题的15份资料全部是精挑细选，文章中的重点词汇全部用黑体和下划线标注，并在文章后附上对应的完形或阅读。这份资料适合作为老师精讲的阅读材料，也适合作为学生自学的材料，课下学习，积累词汇并检验自己所学的词汇。每篇文章不要求背诵，但要求学生能用中文大致叙述文章的故事，并能根据故事的内容推测出每个生单词的意思。这样就达到了要求，而不要求死记硬背。这样做的目的是有利于学生迅速的掌握高频词汇，从而提高学生在背诵单词时候的自信心，更能激发学生主动背诵单词的兴趣。而背诵完单词之后再做练习题，就能使学生的准确率大大提高，让孩子更有自信，在做题的同时也能进一步检验孩子对于词汇的掌握。BlindDadWatchedMePlayFootball盲爸爸看我橄榄球比赛BobRichard,theformerpole-vaultchampion,sharesamovingstoryaboutaskinnyyoungboywholovedfootballwithallhisheart.Practiceafterpractice,heeagerlygaveeverythinghehad.Butbeinghalfthesizeoftheotherboyshegotabsolutelynowhere.Atallthegames,thishopefulathletesatonthebenchandhardlyeverplayed.Thisteenagerlivedalonewithhisfather,andthetwoofthemhadaveryspecialrelationship.Eventhoughhissonwasalwaysonthebench,hisfatherwasalwaysinthestandscheering.Henevermissedagame.Thisyoungmanwasstillthesmallestoftheclasswhenheenteredhighschool.Buthisfathercontinuedtoencouragehim,butalsomakeitveryclearthathedidnothavetoplayfootballifhedidn’twantto.Buttheyoungmanlovedfootballanddecidedtohanginthere.Hewasdeterminedtotryhisbestateverypractice,andperhapshe’dgettoplaywhenhebecameasenior.Allthroughhighschoolhenevermissedapracticeoragame,butremainedabenchwarmerallfouryears.Hisfaithfulfatherwasalwaysinthestands,alwayswithwordsofencouragementforhim.Whentheyoungmanwenttocollege,hedecidedtotryoutforthefootballteamasawalk-on.Everyonewassurehecouldnevermakethecut,buthedid.Thecoachadmittedthathekepthimontherosterbecausehealwaysputhisheartandsoulintoeverypractice,andatthesametime,providedtheothermemberswiththespirit.Thenewsthathehadsurvivedthecutthrilledhimsomuchthatherushedtothenearestphoneandcalledhisfather.Hisfathersharedhisexcitementandwassentseasonticketsforallthecollegegames.Thispersistentyoungathletenevermissedpracticeduringhisfouryearsatcollege,buthenevergottoplayinagame.Itwastheendoftheseniorfootballseason,andashetrottedontothepracticefieldshortlybeforethebigplayoffgame,thecoachmethimwithatelegramandhebecamedeathlysilent.Swallowinghard,hemumbledtothecoach,“Myfatherdiedthismorning.IsitallrightifImisspracticetoday?”Thecoachputhisarmgentlyaroundhisshoulderandsaid,“Taketherestoftheweekoff,son.Anddon’tevenplantocometothegameonSaturday.”Saturdayarrived,andthegamewasnotgoingwell.Inthethirdquarter,whentheteamwastenpointsbehind,asilentyoungmanquietlyslippedintotheemptylockerroomandputonhisfootballgear.Asheranontothesidelines,thecoachandhisplayerswereastoundedtoseetheirfaithfulteammatebacksosoon.“Coach,pleaseletmeplay.I’vejustgottoplaytoday,”saidtheyoungman.Thecoachpretendednottohearhim.Therewasnowayhewantedhisworstplayerinthiscloseplayoffgame.Buttheyoungmanpersisted,andfinallyfeelingsorryforthekid,thecoachgavein.Beforelong,thecoach,theplayers,andeveryoneinthestandscouldnotbelievetheireyes.Thislittleunknown,whohadneverplayedbeforewasdoingeverythingright.Thescorewassoontied.Finally,theyoungman’steamwonthegame!Thecoachaskedhowhedidit.Helookedatthecoach,withtearsinhisey...
