一、INTRODUCTION 造文简介:《先人们的快乐》选自美国中学生的同名获奖作文。作者以丰富的想象力描绘了22世纪50年代的学校。文中的主人公 Tommy 和 Margie 是十二三岁的少男少女。Tommy 在顶按上发现了一本又皱又黄的课本,两个孩子如饥似渴地读了起来。书中描写了上百年前先人们读书的学校。那时的学校和他们的学校截然不同:老师由人而不是电脑担任,单词是印在书上而不是在屏幕上移动,教室设在专门的教学楼里而不是在每个人的家里,同龄的孩子都去学校一起读书而不是在自己的家里独自上课。与先人们的学校相比,22世纪的学校先进得多,安静得多,但为什么 Margie 上课时还总想着旧时的学校,羡慕先人们的快乐呢?请同学们认真阅读下面的故事,作出自己的回答。 First, INTRODUCTION Synopsis: “The happiness of the first people” is selected from the award-winning essay of American middle school students. The author portrayed the schools of the 1950s with a wealth of imagination. The protagonists Tommy and Margie are twelve-year-old boys and girls. Tommy found a crumpled and yellow textbook on the top of the screen. The two children read it eagerly. The book describes a school where people read books hundreds of years ago. The schools at that time were very different from their schools: Teachers were held by people instead of computers. Words were printed on books rather than on the screen. Classrooms were set up in specialized teaching buildings instead of everyone’s homes. Children go to school together instead of studying in their own home. The 22nd century schools are much more advanced and quieter than their predecessors’ schools. But why did Margie always think of old schools when he was in class and envy the joy of the people? Ask the students to read the following stories carefully. Make your own answer.
