内容概要

众所周知，学好语言除了“课本+习题”外，还需大量阅读课外读物，例如小说、故事等。然而，调查发现，经常性自主阅读英文课外读物的学生只有2％!这一方面是由于学生没有合适的课外读物可读，另一方面是因为一边看书一边查阅生词或译文．学生的阅读兴趣难以维持。
“英语趣味阅读系列”精选了适合青少年学生心理、认特点和知识架构的英文故事500多则，丛书共四册，难度依次递进，内容各有侧重．分为童话故事、民间故事、情感故事、幽默故事四大类。所选故事趣味性强、语言地道、情节生动、真挚感人。本丛书在保持原文原汁原味的前提下对影响故事整体理解的难点部分进行了改写或添加了简明的汉语注释，语言难度逐册提高，力求让所有中学生、大学生在“无词典、无词表、无译文”的状态下一口气看完每一个完整的故事。本丛书的编写方式不仅降低了学生对于汉语的依赖性，而且为阅读的连续性创造了条件。一口气看完本丛书中一个个动人故事也是学生真实体验“欣赏与自我欣赏”的一个新奇历程，即在欣赏优美英语故事的同时，不知不觉开始欣赏自己英语水平的提高。总之，本丛书在提高学生阅读兴趣、养成英语阅读习惯、增强英语阅读信心、扩展英语文化知识、培养英语敏捷思维等方面将起到积极的推动作用。

章节摘录

　　01 See How Much I Love You　　My grandparents were married for over half a century， and playedtheir own special game from the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word“ shmily”in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving“shmily”around the house， and as soon as one of them discovered it， it was their turn to hide it once more.　　They dragged“shmily”with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. They smeared （涂抹）it in the dew on the windows overlooking the patio （露台） where my grandma always fed us warm， homemade pudding with blue food coloring.“Shmily”was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower， where it would reappear bath after bath. At one point， my grandmother even unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper to leave“shmily”on the very last sheet. There was no end to the places“shmily”would pop up（突然出现）.Little notes with“shmily”scribbled （潦草书写）hurriedly were found on dashboards and car seats， or taped to steering wheels. The notes were stuffed inside shoes and left under pillows.“Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁炉架） and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents' house as the furruture.　　It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents'game.Skepticism（怀疑） has kept me from believing in true love-one that is pure and enduring. However， I never doubtedmy grandparents' relationship.It was more than their flirtatious（调情的）little games;it was a way of life.Their relationship was based on adevotion and passionate affec：tion which not everyone is lucky to experience.　　Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could. Theystole kisses as they bumped into each other in their tiny kitchen.Theyfinished each other's sentences and shared the daily crossword puzzleand word jumble（字谜游戏）.My grandma whispered to me about how cute my grandpa was， how handsome and old he had grown to be. She claimed that， she really knew “how to pick 'em.”Before every meal they bowed their heads and gave thanks， marveling at their blessings： a wonderful family， good fortune， and each other.　　But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents' life： my grandmother had breast cancer The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always， Grandpa was with her every step of the way.He comforted her in their yellow room， painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine， even when she was too sick to go outside.　　……
