十余年过后,该系在前任系主任程工教授和现任系主任王岚教授的策划、组织和指导下,决定对原有教材进行更新,由长期从事英语专业泛读和英语报刊选读教学的**教授唐慧心牵头,带领一批在泛读教学上已积累了丰富经验的教授、副教授、博士,自2003年9月开始,经过两年多的努力,编写出了这套《英语泛读新教程》。后来,本校英语系对本教材进行了一轮**,受到师生的欢迎和好评。2007年初,本教材被**给上海外语教育出版社,谢宇女士审阅后提出了宝贵的意见和建议,于是,教材编写组又用了几个月的时间,重新系统地调整了课文的难度,对练习也作了进一步的改进,使这套教材日臻完善。

And then, as his feeling of frustration peaked, his certainty leaked away.
Perhaps it hadn't been a magical sound after all. Perhaps he was so desperate for the tiniest sign of contact from the world to which he belonged that he was simply overreacting to perfectly ordinary noises. Could he be sure it hadn't been the sound of something breaking inside a neighbour's house?
Harry felt a dull, sinking sensation in his stomach and before he knew it the feeling of hopelessness that had plagued him all summer rolled over him once again.
Tomorrow morning he would be woken by the alarm at five o'clock so he could pay the owl that delivered the Daily Prophet but was there any point continuing to take it? Harry merely glanced at the front page before throwing it aside these days; when the idiots who ran the paper finally realised that Voldemort was back it would be headline news, and that was the only kind Harry cared about.
If he was lucky, there would also be owls carrying letters from his best friends Ron and Hermione, though any expectation he'd had that their letters would bring him news had long since been dashed4~.
We can't say much about you-know-what, obviously ... We've been told not to say anything important in case our letters go astray ... We're quite busy but I can't give you details here ... There's a fair amount going on, we'll tell you everything when we see you ...
But when were they going to see him? Nobody seemed too bothered with a precise date. Hermione had scribbled I expect we'll be seeing you quite soon inside his birthday card, but how soon was soon? As far as Harry could tell from the vague hints in their letters, Hermione and Ron were in the same place, presumably at Ron's parents' house. He could hardly bear to think of the pair of them having fun at The Burrow when he was stuck in Privet Drive. In fact, he was so angry with them he had thrown away, unopened, the two boxes of Honeydukes chocolates they'd sent him for his bi
…… 中国人民解放军外国语学院英语系一贯重视基础阶段的泛读教学,数十年来,不仅在泛读教学上积累了丰富的经验,而且在泛读教材的编写上也取得了丰硕的成果。早在1989年,曾肯干等教授编写的《英语泛读教程》由上海外语教育出版社出版,在我国英语教学界受到好评,被众多英语院系选作泛读教材。

就编写特色而言,本教材除继续延续《英语泛读教程》中一些行之有效的做法之外,还具有以下几个特点:
一、所选教材均出自当代英语刊物、英语小说及因特网,具有鲜明的时代感。文章题材广泛,语言流畅,文字规范,内容健康,融知识性与趣味.『生于一体,反映出当代西方社会的方方面面,如入学新生谈入学后的感受、孩提时代对父母的看法、体育明星的遭遇、美英两国的人文地理、西方人如何看中国、美国人的人生价值观、伟人们的成功之路等。另外,还有少量的评论性文字。
