前言
《英语学习》创刊于1958年，是中国第一本英语辅导杂志。从诞生的那一天起，《英语学习》就确立了严谨而不失活泼、品位与趣味并重的办刊风格，在帮助读者提高英语水平的同时向他们介绍国外的社会文化，力图真正成为读者们“学习英语的终身益友、了解世界的精彩橱窗”。40多年来，《英语学习》和一代又一代的读者共同成长，在广大师生及社会各界英语爱好者中树立了崇高的威望，《英语学习》巅峰时期高达百万的单期发行量便是这一点的明证。
在现代社会中，英语无疑是越来越重要的一种交流与学习的工具，人们学习英语的热情也达到了前所未有的高度。身处信息时代，各式各样的学习材料俯拾即是，作为杂志编者的我们也感到了空前的压力。我们尽力在庞大芜杂的信息流中为读者选取真正有价值的材料，并把它们加工成营养丰富同时又美味可口的精神食粮，以此来最大限度地满足读者的要求。英语之于英语国家的社会文化恰如鱼之于海，学习英语不能脱离它存在的环境；尽管全球化进程正在把我们的星球变成一个小村庄，我们对村里邻居们的了解实在也还非常有限。有鉴于此，我们尽力在杂志中为读者展现最新的国外社会风貌，使读者不光能学到鲜活生动的语言，更能对它所植根的土地有所认识。惟其如此，英语才能真正成为他们手中得心应手的工
具。
我们此次推出的丛书汇集了《英语学习》杂志40年的精华，按所收文章内容分为7卷。《英语的门槛有多高》(名家箴言卷)中集中了多位名家学习英语的切身体会，读者可以从中分享他们的成功经验，更可以此为参照找出适合自己的学习方法；《时日留痕》(时文卷)中的时事文章从各个角度反映了我们的世界40年来发生的变化，折射着时间之河的粼粼波光，读者也可从中看到英语以及英语学习的流变；《性情人生》(美文卷)收录的都是精彩美妙的好文章，它们的光彩不会因时光流逝而减褪；《给我讲个故事吧》(童话传说卷)以精彩有趣的故事和传说阐释了西方传统和民俗，让你在不知不觉间跨越了不同文化之间的鸿沟；《科技之虹》(科技卷)记录了40年来科技给我们生活带来的许多变化，你会发现一些我们如今习以为常的东西曾经多么地让人惊讶；《话里话外》(语言文化卷)揭示了许多英语习语背后的历史和文化，让你知其然更知其所以然；《国外风情面面观》(异域风情卷)则是展示各国人民生活的一个万花筒。这套丛书中所有文章都曾在《英语学习》上刊载，此次结集时我们又对之进行了深入细致的整理和加工，希望能予读者最大的方便和乐趣。
谨以此丛书向王佐良、许国璋、周珏良、刘世沐、刘承沛、熊德輗等关怀《英语学习》成长的前辈及为杂志付出过心血的所有编者。作者表示敬意，并向予以我们最大支持的广大读者深致谢忱。我们相信它能对读者改进英语阅读能力有实质性的帮助，而作为一切语言能力之基础的阅读能力的改进必能带来英语整体水平的大幅提高，愿大家读得兴味盎然!

Directly opposite this first door, there were two other doors on the far side of the arena. These two doors were exactly alike and stood side by side. It was now the duty of the accused person to walk directly toward these two doors and to open one of them.He could open either door he pleased. He was subject to no force
or obligation. It was completely a matter of chance. But if he opened the one door, out of it came a hungry tiger, the fiercest animal that could be found anywhere. This tiger immediately jumped upon him and tore him to pieces. In this manner the king considered the accused man to have been punished for his crime.
If, however, the man was lucky enough to open the other door,then there came out a young lady, the most beautiful of her class that could be found anywhere in the country. This young woman was always chosen carefully to suit the character and position of the man in every way. in She was the reward for being proved innocent, and he was immediately married to her publicly in the arena before all the people.
In a village at the foot of the mountains there lived many years ago, a simple good-natured fellow, whose name was Rip Van Winkle.
Although a pleasant, kind man, Rip was very lazy. His friends liked him very much, but his wife scolded him all day for his laziness. Rip had only one way to reply to her: he shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, but said nothing. Sometimes he would take his gun and his dog Wolf, leave the house and go for long walks in the mountains.
One fine autumn day Rip and his dog Wolf went out hunting to one of the highest parts of the mountains.
Latc in the afternoon he felt tired and lay down under a big tree. Through an opening among the trees he could see all the lower country for many miles. He enjoyed the lovely scenery very much.
