周计划：小学英语阅读强化训练(一、二年级)(第二版)试读：
前言
看着市场上浩如烟海、质量参差不齐的小学英语教辅图书，有一个想法在我们心中由来已久，那就是编写一套真正内容扎实、效果明显、让同学和家长们的每一分钱都不虚掷的小学英语阅读理解丛书。经过精心选编和翻译，经过无数次推敲和取舍，现在，这套丛书终于完稿了，以下是它们的六个主要特点，希望对您有所帮助。
一、内容经典，所有篇目均选自历年重点初中招生试题、小学英语竞赛试题及引进版阅读材料。我们尤其注重英文的地道和原汁原味，剔除了某些由中国人撰写的、带有明显中文思维痕迹的文章。
二、难度分级，生词注释。丛书从一、二年级到六年级难度逐步加升，让阅读者的英语水平在不知不觉中提高。生词注释和例句突出重点，便于完全掌握关键词汇。
三、全文翻译，彻底解决读不懂、读不透、练习做了很多可水平提升缓慢的问题。我们尽力提供最为准确、流畅的译文，力求使同学们读一篇就彻底消化一篇。
四、采用一二年级五篇阅读理解、三至六年级四篇阅读理解加一篇完形填空的周计划模式，与初中英语题型相吻合。本书共16周，一周之内每天读一篇，题量不大便于坚持，以达到循序渐进的目的。
五、附赠纯正外教发音MP3下载，且每篇阅读文章配有二维码。同学们可在阅读前或阅读后反复听音频，熟悉外教发音，培养自己的英文耳朵。
六、可进行看图说话练习。看图作文是小升初热点题型，本书不少文章配有精彩场景图，您可根据图画及英文提示，先用一两句简短的英文描述图画，再阅读文章，检测自己的表达是否正确地道。编者Term 1 上学期第1周 WEEK ONE【答案链接】MondayTrack 01

A bee went to a river to drink. As it was drinking，it was carried away by the running water. A kind bird saw the bee's danger. It picked a leaf off a tree and threw it into the water in front of the bee. The bee was able to climb on to the leaf，and it was brought to the bank. The bee thanked the bird and then flew away.
Several days later，the bird was sitting in a tree. It did not see that a man was aiming his gun at it. But the bee saw what the man was doing. So the bee flew into the man's eye. The man couldn't see the bird clearly and was not able to shoot it. The bird flew away.

几天后，这只鸟儿落在一棵树上。它没有发现有个男人正举枪瞄准它。但蜜蜂看到了他的所作所为。于是蜜蜂飞进男人的眼里。男人看不清鸟儿的位置，无法射击，鸟儿飞走了。
