內容簡介

《大學英語人文閱讀》內容簡介：第一，這本書的獨特之處在於它所選取的文章可以說是從不同角度對人生意義的分析和總結。馬斯洛是一位人本主義的實踐者，其理論是對人本主義的升華。在今天，重溫馬斯洛，從某種意義上講，就是學習以人為本。特別是在我國轉型時期，馬斯洛的以人為本的思想具有現實意義。

第二，教學重在改革。什麼叫改革？創新就是改革。多數英語教學對學生人文素質的培養重視得不夠，而這本書打破傳統，自成一種風格。作者集數十年英語教學的心得，以馬斯洛的需求層次理論為主線，用平實的語言材料折射出了人的生理需求、安全需求、愛與歸屬需求、尊重需求和自我實現需求，讀後會使人受益匪淺；後又引導學生學習如何發掘自己的潛力和培養興趣，生活中怎樣充滿愛心和體驗生活，困難時怎樣正視現實和排除焦慮，工作時怎樣培養創造力和自主性，對社會應負有怎樣的責任感和使命感。這種獨闢蹊徑的英語讀本編寫方式值得提倡。

第三，英語教學也要和時代同步，掌握了這個脈搏，就掌握了英語教學的方向。和諧社會是時代的要求；尊重是和諧的基因；“以人為本”是尊重的前提。作者不拘泥於英語，而是先對人生的重大課題有所思考，有所領悟，這也充分說明了她對英語教學的負責態度，對學生的關愛程度。有了這本書，英語教學必能再進一步，再深一層。

第四，英語是可以用來思考的。英語的教和學，過去是講得多，記得多，但這遠遠不夠。作者認為英語還必須多思，並且用英語思維，這就給英語教學提出了更高的要求。思考，是衡量一個民族、一個國家、一個社會、一個時代的標尺。我們學英語，不僅僅是要多一種語言，添一種工具，更是要用語言來充實頭腦，這才是學習英語的意義。
