Glossary

……

These were some of the same fighting men who had outfought, outguessed and outrun the finest American army on record, an army outumbering the Apaches by a hundred to one.Yet a lone woman with two small children had fought them off,and the woman was scarcely more than a girl. And she was pre-pared to fight now. There was a glint of admiration in the old eyes that appraised her. The Apache was a fighting man, and he re-spected fighting blood.
"Where is your man?"
"He has gone to El Paso." Angie's voice was steady, but she frightened as she had never been before. She recognized Cochise from descriptions, and she knew that if he decided to kill or capture her it would be done. Until now, the sporadic attacks she had fought off had been those of casual bands of warriors who raided her in passing.
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的丰富经验的教授、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。
本教程是根据《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》的要求而编写的英语基础阶段泛读教 材,供英语专业一、二年级学生使用。《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》对阅读二级的要求是:能阅读难度相当于Thirty-Nine Steps(简写本)的材料以及Reader's Digest上的文章,本教程的第二册除了包含与Thirty-Nine Steps难度一致的浅显材料外,专门挑选了Reader's Digest的文章;同样,教程的第四册也根据大纲对阅读四级的要求选用了文学原著Sons and Lovers的章节,尽量做到贴近大纲的规定与要求。全套教程四册针对四个学期,本着循序渐进的精神,难度也逐渐加大。每册分成16个单元,足以满足一个学期的教学量。
