適合七年級的.英語閱讀文章 篇1
You went to the butcher's for meat, the pharmacy for aspirin, and the grocery store for food. But when I spent the summer with my Grandmother in Warwick, N.Y., she sent me down to the general store with a list. How could I hope to find anything on the packed, jumbled shelves around me?
I walked up to the counter. Behind it was a lady like no one I'd ever seen. Fake-jewel-encrusted glasses teetered on the tip of her nose, gray hair was piled on her head.
"Excuse me," I said. She looked up.
"You're that Clements kid," she said. "I'm Miss Bee. Come closer and let me get a look at you." She pushed her glasses up her nose. "I want to be able to describe you to the sheriff if something goes missing from the store."
"I'm not a thief!" I was shocked. I was seven year too young to be a thief!
"From what I can see you're not much of anything. But I can tell you've got potential." She went back to reading her newspaper.
"I need to get these." I said, holding up my list.
"So? Go get them." Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door. "There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your servant, so I suggest you get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filling. If you're lucky you'll be home by sundown."
Sundown was five hours away. I wasn't sure I would make it.
I scanned the nearest shelf for the first item on my list: pork and beans. It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found a can nestled between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper. Band-Aids—where had I seen them? Oh, ye next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic tucked behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Sometimes she short-changed me. Other times she overcharged. Or sold me an old newspaper instead of one that was current. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma's house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee's like General Patton marching into North Africa.
"That can of beans is only twenty-nine cents!" I corrected her one afternoon. I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely, and Miss Bee had added 35 cents. She didn't seem embarrassed that I had caught her overcharging. She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price.
Not that she ever let me declare victory. All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda and memorized its location on the shelf, than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer's end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes. The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped in to get a packet of gum.
"All right, Miss Potential," she said. "What did you learn this summer?" That you're a meany! I pressed my lips together. To my amazement, Miss Bee laughed. "I know what you think of me," she said. "Well, here's a news flash: I don't care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, Miss Potential, but when you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!" Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd...
Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
"It's too hard," she said. "Could you finish my math problems for me?"
"If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?" I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to tally up my bill along with the cashier. Had I ever been overcharged since?
As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
Sure enough, I had learned ten life lessons:
1. Listen well.
2. Never assume—things aren't always the same as they were yesterday.
3. Life is full of surprises.
4. Speak up and ask questions.
5. Don't expect to be led out of a predicament.
6. Everyone isn't as honest as I try to be.
7. Don't be so quick to judge other people.
8. Try my best, even when the task seems beyond me.
9. Double-check everything.
10. The best teachers aren't only in school.
適合七年級的英語閱讀文章 篇2
The significant inscription found on an old key---「If I rest, I rust」---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most instrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.
Instry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.
Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal instry the price of noble and enring success.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room『s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn『t hear the band - he could see it in his mind『s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
適合七年級的英語閱讀文章 篇4
A young man was getting ready to graate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

『叄』 適合初一的英語繪本
適合初一的英語繪本有：《愛情與金錢》；《蘇格蘭瑪麗女王》；《在月亮下面》等等。
英語繪本的優勢：
1、多聽多讀多看。
很多家長都把漫畫書當做是一種玩物，如果孩子長期閱讀就會玩物喪志，其實這樣的想法是大錯特錯的。大家想一下為什麼孩子愛看繪本？文字和圖畫結合，符合孩子的認知。故事情節引人入勝，孩子容易吸收。滿足了孩子對於這個世界的好奇心和求知慾。其實繪本、漫畫對於孩子是有益無害的，希望家長和老師不要一看到孩子看繪本就沒收然後斥責。
2、優秀繪本的推薦。
對於小孩子來說有什麼繪本能夠吸引他們呢?比如《西遊記》、《哆啦A夢》、《柯南》、《格林童話》、《長襪子皮皮》，像這類繪本既有神秘性又充滿趣味性，是孩子比較喜歡的。《我爸爸》、《先恩的秘密花園》、《媽媽，買綠豆》，這些繪本是關於親情和大自然的，通過繪本孩子就能領會到親情的可貴還有大自然的神奇，這比家長講多少大道理都管用。
3、聽繪本。
有的家長可能怕孩子長時間看書，眼睛會受影響。其實沒關系，現在手機上有很多讀書的APP，如果家長上班忙沒有時間，可以讓APP給孩子講故事。這樣既保護了孩子的視力又可以讓孩子聽到更多的故事，一舉兩得。其實如果家長有時友明間，還是不要讓APP代替你的角色，畢竟親子關系的好壞對以後孩子的發展有很大影響。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有隻鴿子口渴得很難受，看見畫板上畫著一個水瓶，以為是真的。他版立刻呼呼地猛飛過權 去，不料一頭碰撞在畫板上，折斷了翅膀，摔在地上，被人輕易地捉住了。
這是說，有些人想急於得到所需的東西，一時沖動，草率從事，就會身遭不幸。

The World's Greatest Swordsman
At an exhibition of the world's best swordsman, the third-place fencer took the stage. A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest swordsman.
His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile.
"Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!"
"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father."

「啊，」劍手答道，「你剛才沒有很仔細地看。蒼蠅還活著，是的－－但他永遠也做不成爸爸了。」

A small village was troubled by a man-eating lion. So its leaders sent a message to the great hunter, Jonesie, to come and kill the beast.
For several nights the hunter lay in wait for the lion, but it never appeared. Finally, he told the village chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait for the lion.
In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the sound of blood-curdling shrieks coming from the pasture. As they carefully approached, they saw the hunter on the ground, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion.
"What happened, Jonesie? Where is the lion?" asked the chief.
"Forget the damn lion!" he howled. "Which one of you idiots let the bull loose?"

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.翻譯： 總的來說在中國最重要的節日是春節,亦稱中國新年.對中國人民來說它的重要性就如方聖誕節對於西方人民.這個一年一次的節日日期取決於陰歷而不是格里歷,因此假日的時間變化從一月下旬到上旬2月.對普通的中國人,節日總是在除夕夜開始,結束於陰歷的第一個月的第五天. 但1第一個月的15號,通常稱燈會,在國家的大部分地區意味春節的正式結尾.

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant.

He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time. 翻譯：一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去,當他沿著路走時,在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果,他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果,因為富人會給我更多的食物,他會給我很好吃的東西.」然後他拿起蘋果,一把扔到土裡去.
他繼續走,來到河邊,河漲水了,因此,他到不了河對岸,他等了一會兒,然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了,因為我不能渡過河.」
他開始回家,那天他沒有吃東西.他就開始去找吃的,他找到蘋果,很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了.

For a long time while they were walking home through the rain, the boy was thinking． Then at last he turned to his father and said to him,「Why does it rain, Father? It isn't very nice, is it?」
「No, it isn't very nice, but it's very useful,Tom,」answered his father．「It rains to make the fruit and the vegetables grow for us, and to make the grass grow for the cows and sheep．」
Tom thought about this for a few seconds, and then he said,「Then,why does it rain on the road too, Father?」

「是呀,下雨是不太好,可是下雨也有很多有益的地方,湯姆.」父親回答說.「老天爺下雨促使了為我們所食用的水果和蔬菜的生長,同樣也促使牛羊所吃的青草的生長.」
湯姆對父親的這番話想了一會,然後說：「那麼,父親,老天爺為什麼還要把雨下在路上呢?」
8、The Crab and His Mother
「My child,」 said a Crab to her son, 「why do you walk so awkward? If you wish to make a good appearance, you should go straight forward, and not to one side as you do so constantly.」
「I do wish to make a good appearance, Mamma」 said the young Crab; 「and if you will show me how, I will try to walk straight forward.」
「Why, this is the way, of course,」 said the mother, as she started off to the right, 「No, this is the way,」 said she, as she made another attempt, to the left.

『柒』 七年級英語閱讀推薦書目
適合初一學生：
William Shakespeare《威廉·莎士比亞》
Author: Jannifer Bassett
他說話得謹慎，因為他說話總有人在聽。因為他每時每刻都是國王。他的壓力很大也很孤獨，甚至是從小開始，從未和其他的孩子一起玩過，他也沒有朋友。他住在英國最漂亮的房子里——（白金漢宮），卻總感到寂寞、悲傷。在他年輕的時候想要的東西都能得到。「但我並不快樂，因為我的內心裡是空虛的。」直到國王遇見了沃利斯一切都變了。他為了她放棄了一切，甚至放棄了自己的王位！
『捌』 適合初一的英語讀物
《中學生網路英語》（1-4）是一套原版引進的英文書籍，語言地道、內容豐富、練習題很新穎、很實用，是非常好的課後閱讀。
外語的學習，選擇原版、地道的語言素材是首要的。原版的閱讀，無論是對於學生的校內考試、還是日常生活中的實際應用都明顯優於國家統編的教材。原因很簡單、統編的教材語言的內容太狹隘、太注重所謂任務型教學的原則、到了通常的課堂教學中又偏重語法和語言點的講解、學生真正獲得的語言能力基本就是應試的能力（這個應試的能力也只是國內的考試而已、真正到了留學國外是沒有用的）。而國外的語言素材是接地氣的、和生活息息相關、很容易為學習者接受、也很容易成為學習者自己的語言能力。
《中學生網路英語》冊1的內容，有紐西蘭的Kiwi鳥、沙漠的駱駝、北極熊、河馬、海豚等動物語篇；人類為何會打哈欠、大笑、為何海水是鹹的、植物也會謀殺、有聽力障礙的人如何交流；水稻、柑橘、咖啡樹等植物；西方的布魯斯、爵士樂、搖滾樂等；不同國家的人的工作時間、高薪或低薪的職業、度假休閑等；世界各地的少數民族及其文化習俗；攀登珠峰的首位女性、獨自遠航等探險活動等等。
每篇後面的練習也很好。首先是為語篇中的句子填寫空缺的詞、再用語篇中的詞彙用到新的語句中、再回答語篇內容理解的問題，都是在文中找尋內容，這樣的學習過程，很容易熟練語篇內容，學生是很喜歡的。
2009年南京外國語學校的初中招生英語能力測試，首篇Kiwi鳥是考到的閱讀內容之一、還有關於北極熊等常識的內容。不僅如此，近年的中考和高考的英語閱讀，很多素材都是選自原汁原味的英語文刊，這是很有益於學生的非常好的導向。
如何閱讀原版文章？內容第一！
這個和閱讀中文的故事書是一樣的。閱讀中文故事書、讀者看的也是內容、不可能是不停地查找其中的生字詞、分析詞句語法結構。
閱讀後有不懂的詞彙需要查閱的、學生自己可以查英文詞典。可以配備「牛津高階英漢雙解詞典」（最新版本）。
想要升學重點初中的六年級學生可以讀一讀、做一做《中學生網路英語》第一冊。
初中的同學、可以繼續學習第二冊（2012年中考的初中生們自己閱讀學習了第二冊、反應很好）、喜歡的繼續學習第三冊、越學越簡單、後面就是自如的閱讀能力了~~
語言的學習和考試、最重要的是閱讀~
『玖』 適合七年級閱讀的英語課外書
