二十四节气惊蛰海报「中国日报精读第157篇惊蛰二十四节气之三」

编者按/精读指导(A)：

在本文的学习上要注意掌握一些有关动植物花鸟的单词：oriole bird, eagle, pigeon, dove, corn kernel, centipede, scorpion, dandelion, kingfisher, woodpecker, jasmine, magnolia, cherry, cockchafer, apricot, toad, radish, cricket, the larva of Papilio polytes, millipedes, semi-slug。

在英语中uncle这个词可以表述叔叔、伯伯、舅舅，如果需要精确地表示舅舅，则需要在它前面加一个修饰词 maternal ‘母系的; 母亲方面的’，maternal uncle 就是舅舅比较正式的表述。

《中国日报》精读系类之编者按/精读指导(B)：

我们《中国日报》学习有多个专题：

第二专题是空间探索专题，我们希望同学们更多地了解中国和世界太空探索方面的知识，在这个专题中我们会了解中国空间站、国际空间站、火星探索、月球探索方面的信息。

第四专题为世界经济，此专题中会讨论影响世界经济的因素，比如新冠疫情、俄罗斯和乌克兰的冲突等。

第六专题体育/奥运会专题。

就我们初级英语课程而言，我们目前有两个工作目标：一是编写《哈利波特英语词典》，单词收录量为2到3万；二是编写《博雅英语阅读文库·中国日报1000篇》。我们有三级英语课程，初级英语课程为《哈利波特》7册的内容和中国日报(China Daily) 、《乔布斯传》、《马斯克传》等英语原著，以训练学生流畅地阅读英语小说、英语报刊杂志和按照英语习惯顺畅地写作为目标；中级英语课程为英语学术训练，能流畅地阅读英语学术著作，如 A New History of Western Philosophy，并能够书写规范的学术论文；高级英语课程是以了解通过英语来学习文化，学习莎士比亚等英美名家著作、英文版的《圣经》、《易经》等等，目的是更加深入地了解英语背后的文明和中华文明等，让英语学习不仅仅止于语言，要上升到文明的角度来学习英语和用英语来学习。我们认可这样的理念“语言和宗教是定义一个文明的核心标志”。我们的课程有三个立足点，一、高中毕业的英语水平；二、有学习的主动性；三、雅思最低成绩6.5。
