The August Moon
I liked the Autumn Festival very much when I was a small girl, because I was with my family then. On the evening of August 15 of the lunar calendar, when the moon was brightest, we always sat together outside in our yard to eat moon cakes--eaten only on this occasion--and enjoy the beautiful moonlight. Mother would then tell me the storyof the moon fairy Change who lived in a palace on the moon,with a jade rabbit for companion. I always imagined that I was the moon fairy whenever I heard the story. When I grew older, however, I was compelled to leave home for education in the city. And now I am living alone away from home. The August moon only serves to remind me of the lost happy days I had with my family in the country.

阅读的愉悦概莫能外。所有引发阅读兴趣的、好玩的、有趣的、感人的、时尚的、轻松的、**的元素在本书中都可以找到。本书针对年轻读者的爱好和兴趣,在编写中突出时尚、有趣的选文原则,力图带给年轻的你不一样的阅读体验。每篇文章均短小精悍、读来朗朗上口,编者亦爱不释手。 因为我们始终相信:英语学习,兴趣是*重要的。
英语专家卡雷尔和艾斯特霍尔德认为阅读是读者与所读文章互动的过程,即读者背景知识与语篇本身的一种相互作用。这和中国文化所说的只有“神入”才能到达“化境”有异曲同工之妙。我们始终认为,学英语只有真正读懂并有所悟才能很好地掌握和运用。所以本书的探索亦希望对当前的英语教改有所启发。总而言之,学生喜欢读才是*重要的。
