They go forth in the hope of rendering some service to teachers and to children alike. Throughout the work, the children’s point of view has been kept in mind as well as the teacher’s; First of all, they should be a book which children like to read. Every lesson centers about something in which children are interested. All teachers know that the labor of teaching is lessened when the interest of the pupils is assured. The name of the Series testifies to another aim of the book,—to lead to a love of literature. Many of the stories and poems herein contained will be found again and again by the children in the world’s best books. A taste for good things, developed now, will lead the pupils to demand good things when free to choose. Reading enables us to see with the keenest eyes, and listen to the sweetest voices all time. The pupils are to be well-trained through reading these carefully selected readers. -

How to Tell If Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You
Brilliantly whimsical yet oddly informative, TheOatmeal.com is an entertainment site full of comics, quizzes, and stories. Matthew Inman, creator of TheOatmeal.com, is a king of all trades when it comes to the Web. He writes, draws, and codes everything on the site, and his viral marketing skills make the site a huge success. How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You is a very funny, creative selection of comics, facts, and instructional guides, which all stem from the creative wonderland at TheOatmeal.com. The book will be designed to create suspense/anticipation with page turns analogous to the experience of scrolling down through the panels on the website. For example, "Cat vs. Internet" will use page turns to draw out the reader's anticipation of what the crafty kitty might do next to get attention from his Internet-fixated owner. Other favourite cat comics include "How to Pet a Kitty," "The Bobcats," and "17 Things Worth Knowing About Your Cat." A pull-out poster will be included at the back of the book. -
商务英语情景口语100主题
《商务英语情景口语100主题》一书,则旨在帮助学习者适应多话题、深层次的商务英语交流。首先,丰富的主题、海量的对话再现原生态的商务语境。翻开这本小16开400多页的书,100个主题、200组大篇幅对话,再加上词汇、短语,以及按初、中、高级排列的句子会让人有密不透风之感。实际上,在一个贯穿着英语语流的商务环境中,这种语言的压力会更加强大。本书 “强迫”读者进入原生态的商务场境,通过密集的语流刺激让读者掌握各种场景下的沟通方式。 其二,真实的语言让你学会圈中人的行话。对话的语言秉承真实、地道的原则,生词、难词很少,但加入了大量英美职场耳熟能详,而一般读者并不熟悉的固定表达法。其中大多数一看就会,并能迅速派上用场。比如mountain of work(一堆工作),cover a lot of points(涉及许多要点),take off like a rocket(急速上升),do one’s homework(做准备),outside the scope(在范围之外),no time to lose(抓紧时间),better safe than sorry(宁愿稳妥免致后悔),spill the beans(泄密),have a legal arm(拥有法律武器),take the blame(承担过失),get things on track(走向正轨),等等。 其三,深入的对话让你纵观职场心态。借助深入细致的对话,此书得以能够揭示英美职场人士的思维方式和情感方式。这对于学习者沟通技巧的提高,不亚于语言功夫。比如怎么应对客户的过分要求、怎么应对过于亲热地法国式问候、怎么谈论办公室恋情、怎么评价部门之间和同事之间的竞争,等等。这本书因此超越了语言的范畴,比较全面地反映了公司内外环境和办公室政治的方方面面。 其四,灵活的方式让你自主学习。无论用于课堂教学还是自学,此书都具有相当大的伸展度和灵活性。全部对话都配有MP3。读者可以根据自身的学习目的和喜好的学习方式,有选择地进行口语、听力、语音、听写、口笔译、词汇等各种练习。 最后,作者的实力值得一提。本书作者,美国人Amanda Crandell Ju女士在国际商务领域拥有相当丰富的从业经验,曾供职于广播电台、纸质新闻媒体、美国国会山联邦政府,近期专攻市场营销与品牌合并。她曾在北京一家著名的英语教学机构担任口语教师,非常了解中国的职业人士在语言和沟通方式上的疑惑,因此,她的这本书尤其强调了中国读者应当关注的商务沟通惯例。 -
Style
This acclaimed book is a master teacher's tested program for turning clumsy prose into clear, powerful, and effective writing. A logical, expert, easy-to-use plan for achieving excellence in expression, "Style" offers neither simplistic rules nor endless lists of dos and don'ts. Rather, Joseph Williams explains how to be concise, how to be focused, how to be organized. Filled with realistic examples of good, bad, and better writing, and step-by-step strategies for crafting a sentence or organizing a paragraph, "Style" does much more than teach mechanics: it helps anyone who must write clearly and persuasively transform even the roughest of drafts into a polished work of clarity, coherence, impact, and personality. A textbook edition with exercises, "Style" is available from Longman. -
