Made of metal, wire, or wood,of sprinas, tubes, and cables, these me-chanical creatures would be ours to com-mand. They would work for us, protect us,and help us set ahead in the world.    Mechanical creatures have existedfor at least five hundred years, and someof them were made to look quite human.Yet they were not much more than toys.The cleverest ones could walk, talk, playmusical instruments, or even write with aquillm pen using real ink. They ran onsprinas, pegs, and cobs~ like the innerworkinas of windup clocks or music boxes.Far too expensive for ordinary people toown, these artful toys amused only royal-ty.Comprehension:1.

前言如何使学习与快乐相伴，同时又获得显著的学习效果，是教育的永恒命题之一，也是教育无止境的追求。当我们不再埋首于令人憋闷的习题集中’而是轻松漫步于学习演练中，向着目标持续行进之时，美好的变化就会常常不请自来：知识会在不知不觉中浸润你的脑海，能力会在潜移默化中获得提高一一而这一切，都是在快乐的过程中，暗暗完成的。        “英语巧克力书系”，就是一套追求“快乐与效果”相结合的英语助学用书。它丝毫没有替代一般辅导用书功用的妄想，而是试图以伶俐的姿态、宜人的笑靥，轻轻巧巧地出现在你的面前，相伴你的学习进程。“精短、易学、耐渎、好看”，是它追求的目标。我们期望它像巧克力一样既食而有味，又能给人以营养；在我们的计划中，它是一份荟萃门语、阅读、写作等于一体的营养套餐，供你享用、回味。    本册《阅渎套餐》(大学卷)，精选短文100篇：题材上，广泛涉及人文、科学、历史、地理、社会等，表达方式上，记述、说明、描写、议论、抒情等兼而有之；文体上，作为一般文体的记叙文、说明文、议论文，无所不备，同时兼及其他特殊文体，如书信、诗歌、小说、随笔、幽默小品、序言、导游词、科学小品等。在貌似芜杂、包罗万象的背后，实际上暗含如下儿条编撰思路：    其一，强调阅读视野的开阔性。逼仄的阅读素材终究会导致偏食的恶果，而开放的阅读则有利于阅读兴味的滋养。此外，基本词汇的构成也因此相应变得丰富，对阅读能力的发展大有裨益。    其二，强调文质兼美。富有意义的思想内容和富有意味的表达形式的结合，应是所有“读本”类图书的一致追求，在此无需多盲。    其三，强调文体、表达方式上的多元性。这可以促使读者对文字获得较为丰富的形式感或语感，有利于后续阅读。本书对选材作了大体的分类，分为9个大类一一“历史频道”、“哲理小品”、‘‘社会与文明”、“自然纵横”、“短诗精粹”、“应用文”、“科学视野”、“名作管窥”和“生活向导”，而对于不宜以上述名目囊括的其他好材料，则以“阅读加油站”一言以蔽之一一这可以算是一种偷懒的做法，但却能将事实上丰富生动的一些材料保留住，以利于读者阅读兴味的继续、提升。    其四，在词汇量的处理上．大体以“大纲为准适量超出”为原则。这样的处理，保证了阅读难易上的适度。    其五，强调阅读的情趣效果。如选文讲究一定的悄趣戏理趣。书的编排形式上追求图文并茂等。此外。选文后设计的自测题．以小题量来检测阅读效果，既轻松，又能产生一定的实效。    另外在选译过程中，个别译作参考了已有定译。特此鸣谢。东方粟2002年6月
