很多學(xué)生覺得英語難學(xué)，但事實(shí)上，英語和其他學(xué)科區(qū)別不大，知識(shí)點(diǎn)都完全出在書中。只要肯下工夫，一定會(huì)把英語學(xué)好，至少英語成績(jī)不會(huì)被別人落下太多。通過今年的初三期末考試可以看出來，學(xué)生們存在的最主要的問題還是對(duì)教材不夠熟悉。比如，今年的完形填空題出自教科書中的原文，但是5個(gè)填空部分很多學(xué)生都沒有完全答對(duì)。其實(shí)，現(xiàn)在考試的趨勢(shì)越來越回歸教材，所以學(xué)生們一定要對(duì)教材非常熟悉。英語考試中的作文雖然不像語文作文那樣占分比例很大，但這仍是一個(gè)重點(diǎn)。此次考試，學(xué)生們的作文情況也不是很理想。原因是學(xué)生們平時(shí)不愿意動(dòng)筆。其實(shí)，只要對(duì)教材熟悉，寫作的問題就不大。教材中的每個(gè)模塊的第二、三單元都是一個(gè)主題，這個(gè)主題會(huì)告知寫作內(nèi)容。中考時(shí)的寫作范圍也不會(huì)脫離這些主題，肯定會(huì)是書中提到過的，所以，學(xué)生們要根據(jù)這些主題主動(dòng)練習(xí)寫作。
寒假期間的復(fù)習(xí)重點(diǎn)可根據(jù)個(gè)人情況而定，但以下兩方面不得忽視：1、完形填空和閱讀每天要做四五篇。英語考試中完形填空和閱讀所占分?jǐn)?shù)非常大，這是一個(gè)容易得分的部分。所以，學(xué)生們?cè)诩倨诿刻於家ＷC閱讀數(shù)量。英語語感很重要，如果長(zhǎng)時(shí)間不做閱讀，再次復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)會(huì)費(fèi)很多力氣。2、初一到初三教材“過”一遍。復(fù)習(xí)英語的最好方式就是熟讀教材，因?yàn)橛⒄Z教材中幾乎涵蓋了所有知識(shí)點(diǎn)。寒假期間，初一到初三年級(jí)的全部英語單詞要復(fù)習(xí)一遍，課文要通讀一遍，要保證英譯漢和漢譯英都沒有問題，這樣會(huì)給開學(xué)后進(jìn)入總復(fù)習(xí)提供很多幫助。
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We' d sit on the edge of the dock(碼頭), feet dangling(搖晃), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart-the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part-and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
