前言

众所周知，阅读在英语学习中起着不可替代的重要作用，阅读量的多少很大程度上决定了英语水平的高低。根据国内外有关机构对英语学习规律的研究认为，好的英语是“读”出来的，不是做练习“做”出来的。“读”出来的英语是地道的、自然的，因为使用者依据的是“语感”；“做”出来的英语往往流于生硬，因为使用者是依赖“语法规则”硬“做”的。当然，大量的阅读不仅是英语学习的最佳手段，也是读者掌握语言背景，了解西方文化，开拓知识视野的重要途径。为提升广大英语爱好者的阅读兴趣，不断增强读者的英语水平，编者借鉴以往阅读书籍的成功做法并结合自身多年教学经验，在紧密结合时代生活特征、准确把握当今时尚主题基础上，经反复筛选、编写精品文章50篇，各篇文章内容短小精悍，寓意深刻，语言优美。此书根据当今社会热点话题又分设十个主题，即精彩人生、汽车时代、时尚生活、科技前沿、网络动态、职场PK、明星风采、奥运天地、生命科学和人生感悟。每篇文章配有文化导读、核心词汇、佳句赏析和相关链接等部分，重点详实介绍相关文化背景，注释重要词汇，解析部分结构复杂而又关键的句子。本书不仅适合大学生及广大成人英语爱好者阅读以扩大英语词汇量、提高英语语言能力，也可作为中学英语爱好者的课外参考读物。该书能让读者们在“悦”读中尽享一道道文化大餐的同时，提高英语运用的综合能力，尽情领略英语语言的魅力。本书在编写过程中，得到古丽米拉、刘涛、徐玉梅、郑华丽、李登峰等老师的帮助和支持，在此一并致谢。
