Live of the shakers
The Shakers are a religious sect that flourished in the United States between the time of the American Revolution and the ftrst half of the nineteenth century. They were most commonly found in New York, New England, and the frontier areas of Kentucky and Ohio.
The Shakers have been described as millenarian because of their belief that Christs Second Coming would usher in 1,000 years of peace. They were first known as the Shaking Quak- ers. The name came about as a result of the extreme trembling that they exhibited during their ecstatic dancing and singing in their worship services.
Shakers followed an extremely simple communal lifestyle. They held all property in common. Men and women shared equally in the work and governance of the community. The spare design of their buildings and furniture, their old-fashioned clothing, and their un- fashionable hairstyles reflected their emphasis on the spiritual rather than the material.
The community was organized into families. A Shaker family was larger than a typical nuclear family. Elders, deacons, and trustees, both male and female, were the heads of each family. Each family had its own dormitory, cooking and eating areas, barns, and work are- as. Younger members might be engaged in outdoor or indoor tasks, depending on their abili- ties as farmers or artisans. Older members and those who had previously been married were most likely to be engaged in the business aspects of the community.
The main belief that distinguished Shakers from mainstream Protestants was their prac- tice of celbacy (獨身). Men and women lived in separate dormitories. The Shaker sect grew by converting adults and rearing orphans. As adults the orphans could choose whether to stay with the community.
Hard work was as important in the Shakers relationship to God as were formal worship services. The Shakers engaged in farming and related activities such as sheep herding and rai- sing bees. They also made simple furniture and craft items for sale. They used the proceeds to buy land.
前言/序言
閱讀既是理解和吸收語言文化信息的重要手段之一,又是語言文化信息的最便捷的輸入源。我國教育部新製定的全日製義務教育和普通高級中學《英語課程標準》對學生的閱讀技能從三級到九級提齣瞭明確的要求。在目前國內外的各種英語測試中,閱讀理解所占的比重越來越大。為此,我們特嚮你推薦“中學英語拓展閱讀叢書”(Timed Readings Plus)。本叢書含有以下3個子係列:社會科學(Social.Studies)、自然科學(.Science)及數學(Mathematics),由上海外語教育齣版社從美國McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引進齣版。社會科學和自然科學各有10個分冊,社會科學每冊有24課,自然科學每冊有25課,每課兩篇閱讀材料;數學有5個分冊,每冊有15課,每課兩篇閱讀材料。本叢書語言地道,知識麵廣,信息量大,能有效訓練學生的閱讀理解能力,提高他們的閱讀速度。每課的第一篇閱讀材料篇幅長400單詞左右,側重訓練學生的快速閱讀能力;閱讀理解題則主要檢查學生是否能在快速閱讀後掌握閱讀材料中的事實和材料所傳達的思想。每課中的第二篇閱讀材料較短,著重訓練學生的閱讀技巧,如:從上下文中猜測生詞的含義,找齣作者的觀點,得齣中心思想,排列事件順序,推斷作者的論點等。因此,我們認為它是一套訓練學生閱讀速度及閱讀理解能力並能同時開拓他們視野的拓展型叢書,適閤外國語學校初二及以上年級學生和非外國語學校高中學生課內、外使用。
怎樣使用本係列叢書呢?我們有以下的一些閱讀策略供大傢參考。
1.閱讀時,要集中注意力。
2.用一分鍾閱讀標題,並思考以下問題:我是否瞭解這一話題?我從這個話題中能學到什麼?這個話題引起瞭我怎樣的思考?
3.重點閱讀文章第一句和最後一句,因為第一句和最後一句往往是作者提齣自己觀點和總結全文觀點的關鍵句子。
4.快速閱讀全文以獲得材料所傳達給你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或數字等的內容,你應該放慢速度,以便記住這些內容。
怎樣纔是一個快速閱讀者?
