How do we find the temperature of anything?When a boy is ill,a doctor usllally takes his temperature。He puts a thermometer under his tongue.A minute later,the doctortakes it OUt。and:looks at it.Why does he do this?
The temperature ofthe bo:Cs body usually riseS when he is i11.The thermometer mea-sures this temperature.Sometimes the temperature is quite high.This shows the doctorthat the boy is very i11.A doctol~~s thermometer is made of glass.There are some figures on the glass.The glass itself is a tube and there is some mercury in the tube.The boy‘stongue makes the mercury wallll,so it expands.The top ofthe mercury rOllS up the tube.It reaches a place near one of the figures and stops there.rnle doctor Call see the top ofthe mercury,and he call see the figure near it.This figure shows him the boy’S tempera-ture.
When the mercury is heated,it expands.Other thalgs also expand when they areheated.The mils oIq the:railway expand Oil a hot day.Sometimes you may notice spacebetween the ends of the rails.The wheels of the train make noises when they cross thespaces.On a cold day,the ends ofthe two rails do not meet;but Oil a hot day,each railexpands.Then the two ends get ileal“together.Telegraph wires expand in.SUiTimer.Theyget longer.Then the wire between two posts gets lower in the middle.
Very often a machine is made in different pieees.Then we have to fit the pieces together.Perhaps there is a metal ring,and the ring has to go on a tube.It is not bigger and 80 it doesn’t easily go on.But we can heat the ring first.Then it will expand.Then we eltn easilyput it in its pml~~r place Oil the tube.When it eools,it will eonWaet.It will retllm to its oldsize,and then it will tohjt in the tube.So we have only to wait until it cools;then the workis done.
Some men once tried to drive a ring on a tube.They hit it hard and so,of course,it broke.They got another rkng and hit that harder than the other.It also broke。”Very badmetal!“they cried angrily.Another man saw themthrowmg the pieces away.He came tO look and heated another nng.It expanded,and easy went into its place Oil the tube tightly.
序言
本系列教材具有以下特點:
1.在編寫中充分考慮重慶地區學生英語學習的特點,即語言基礎知識較紮實,但聽、說、讀、寫、譯等綜合運用能力,尤其是聽說能力普遍較差。無論從教材選材、難易度還是內容體系上,我們都從重慶地區學生的實際出發,認真篩選,精心設計。
2.本系列教材既注重教師課堂使用,又注重學生課外自學,將課堂內外很好地結合起來。首先,它便於教師課堂操作。如系列教材中的《大學英語課堂限時閱讀》、《大學英語CET一4考前衝刺》裝訂形式靈活,可以拆卸,教師可以在每次安排課堂限時閱讀或綜合訓練時,隨堂將課文和練習發給學生。其次,它便於學生課外自學。系列教材中的《大學英語課堂限時閱讀》、《大學英語閱讀進階》、《大學英語自主聽力》等分冊每單元的材料除了足夠教師課堂使用以外,還留有大量的閱讀、聽力等練習供學生課外操練。
3.本系列教材以培養學生紮實的語言技能、提高學生全面套用能力為主要目標,同時兼顧提高其四、六級考試應試能力。本系列教材注意吸收我國長期在大學英語教學和教材編寫中積累的經驗,同時採納國外先進的教學理論和方法,保證了教材編寫的科學性和合理性,以利於學生紮實、有效地從各個方面提高英語套用能力。同時,我們在編寫系列教材的練習時,有意識地將題型向全國大學英語四、六級考試靠攏,以增強學生的應試能力,並在某些分冊中對應試技巧給予適當的講解。這當然不是提倡應試教育,而是以素質教育為基礎,對學生進行應試方面的指導。更何況,全國大學英語四、六級考試是英語運用能力的考試,引導學生向其靠攏,反過來會促進學生語言能力的提高。
