基本学习五种类型(汤姆林森,1999):
阅读理解 I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separatedly chasing the same thing. One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was abandoned , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner ,rented it, and cleared a corner to camp in. The locals knew nothing about me, but slowly, they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began sticking around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a different American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of neighbourliness . What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors. Four years later, I moved back into town . I saw many people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people .There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in shllters if we hadn’t banded together. The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about how we can all get by together. 请结合你的理解,仿照高考设问方式,提出3-5个问题:
