知己知彼，百戰百勝

在台灣，「英語學習」是全民運動，不過很可惜的是，大部分從事此「運動」的學習者雖試過各式各樣的學習方式，卻很少有人會利用西方世界的「教科書」來當作自己學習英文的讀物。有趣的是，很多研究都證實，最佳的外語教材不是刻意根據既定的文法規則或單字所寫出的句子，也不是與現實生活脫節、艱深難懂的文章，而是真正在西方世界被用來教導當地學生（也就是native speakers，「母語者」）的教材。根據研究，這些真實的教材不僅可以讓人學習到更真實、自然的英文，也更能激起其學習的興趣，因為根據這些教材所學到的單字、句型等，才是西方世界國家經常使用的單字、句型，而這也才是英語學習最終的目的：藉由瞭解西方世界的語言使用方式，真實且自然地與母語者溝通。

本書便是這樣一本符合上述精神的讀物。這本書以美國國小的教科書為內容，其選文題材多樣且豐富，主題涵蓋科學、社會、語文和數學；而且選文的形式並非一般教科書一成不變的長篇大論，而是有吸引人的故事、詩篇，以及填空、回答問題、偵錯等，多樣化的文章形式讓人讀來興趣盎然。

此外，搭配選文的「練習」也值得讚賞。這部分的內容有別於「選文」的知識灌輸，主要以腦力激盪、培養讀者獨立及批判性思考能力為主。例如書中的練習會要求讀者在一群單字中找出其中一個不屬於同類的單字，這種比較、類比的技巧不僅在學習不同學科或應付考試時很重要，也是生活中必備的能力。此部分的題型也很活潑，例如要求讀者完成填字遊戲或做科學實驗等，都可幫助讀者體認「學習」不是死背課本即可，還必須能夠活用。因此，千萬不要因為這本書是「小學課本」就直覺認定它幼稚簡單；若讀者好好利用，相信會從中學習到許多能力！

當然，身為一本「單字」書，本書所選擇的都是英語世界隨處可見、耳熟能詳的單字，例如在「科學篇」中提到青蛙的叫法是croak、老鼠的叫法是cheep，這些都是日常生活中常見，但台灣學習者卻不見得會學到的單字。此外，本書所列的單字還會搭配幾個相關詞，例如「社會篇」中介紹單字roar（怒吼；咆哮）時，便列舉了幾個意思相似但意義不同的單字，如shout（大喊）、scream（尖叫）、whine（哀號）等，一方面可以增加讀者的字彙量，一方面也可幫助讀者釐清不同單字的意思。

身為英語教育者，我認為本書最棒的地方在於它不僅僅是本單字書，也是一本教讀者「如何閱讀英文」的書。例如書中會要求讀者閱讀一小段文字就做summary（摘要），而這正是閱讀的重要技巧之一，除了可以找出文章重點，也可在閱讀長篇文章時不容易分心。此外，本書也提出許多閱讀的好方式，例如提醒讀者「瞭解文意是藉由思考文中的其他單字來學習新單字的方法」，告訴讀者不應死背單字，而是應從文章的上、下文來「猜單字」，而這才是學習單字最有意義也有效的方式。

最後，我希望藉此書鼓勵讀者「不只學英文，也學文化」，亦即在閱讀本書的選文時，將自己融入西方、尤其是美國文化的氛圍，這樣的語言學習才能深刻、也才更有意義！

內文 : Plants
植物
Root
Roots are the part of the plant that is in the ground. The roots
of the plant hold the plant in the ground. On each root are tiny root
hairs. These tiny root hairs grow into the soil. They take in water
and minerals. The plant uses water and minerals to make food.
Without water and minerals, the plant cannot grow.

Stems
Now look at a plant’s stems. These stems are like tiny pipes. Water and minerals
can travel through the stem. The stem takes water and minerals to the leaves, where
the plant’s food is made.
Stems are many different sizes. The big tree trunk is a stem. The stem of a
cabbage plant is so short that you may not see it. Vines are a kind of stem. The tiny
tubes in the stem of a celery plant are easy to see.

Leaves
The leaves of green plants have tiny
openings in them. To see these openings,
you will need the help of a microscope.
A microscope makes things look much
bigger than they really are.
The tiny openings are important to help the plant grow. Carbon dioxide, a gas
from the air, enters the leaf by the openings. Carbon dioxide is given off by people
and animals when they breathe.
When plants use carbon dioxide, they give off a gas called oxygen. People and
animals need oxygen to live. Some of the water in the plant is given off through the
leaves. Carbon dioxide goes into the leaves of the plant through tiny openings like
those in this picture.

Food storage parts
You have learned that all green plants make food.
You know that the plants use part of the food they make.
This food is used to grow new leaves and roots.
What happens to the rest of the food? God made
green plants in a special way. All extra food is stored
somewhere in the plant. Some plants such as lettuce
store their extra food in the leaves. Many plants such as
beets and carrots store food in their roots. The celery plant stores food in its stem.
Corn, beans, and peas store food in their seeds. Still other plants store food in their
fruits. Could you say, then, that you had roots, stems, and leaves for dinner?

Are They Insects?
牠們是昆蟲嗎？
Are They Insects?
Read each passage. After each passage you will answer a question about the
main idea of the passage. Remember, the main idea is the main point in a story.
I. Mayflies are insects. They begin life underwater. As they grow older, mayflies
leave the water and grow wings. When their wings are strong, they fly with
thousands of other mayflies near the water. You can often see them by ponds.
They look like a dark cloud hanging over the water.
1. The story mainly tells .
A. why mayflies have no wings
B. what looks like a cloud
C. about the life of mayflies
D. how mayflies grow on land

II. Some butterflies lay their eggs on just one kind of plant. By tasting the plant, they
know which one is right. Sometimes butterflies taste the wrong plant, so they fly
to another plant and taste again. When they find the right plant, they lay their eggs
there. Soon the eggs hatch. The hungry babies eat the plant their mother chose!
2. The story mainly tells .
A. when baby butterflies come out of eggs
B. how butterflies choose where to lay eggs
C. what flies from one plant to another
D. how butterflies always taste the right plant

III. Centipedes are not insects, but they look like insects. They are long animals with
short legs. Centipede means “hundred feet,” but centipedes have 350 legs!
Millipedes also have many legs. Millipede means “thousand feet,” but they have
about 700 legs!
3. The story mainly tells .
A. how many legs centipedes and millipedes have
B. what kind of animal a centipede is
C. that centipedes have one hundred legs
D that millipedes have one thousand legs

IV. A fly has six feet. Each foot has a plump little pad on the bottom. The pads flatten
out when the fly walks on a smooth surface. They give off a sticky liquid that
holds the fly to the wall or the ceiling. The liquid acts like glue so that the fly
doesn’t fall.
4. The story mainly tells .
A. how many legs a fly has
B. about the fly’s special feet
C. how flies make glue
D. about different types of flies
V. Many people don’t like bugs. Some bugs bite or sting people. Other bugs eat
people’s plants and fruits. People poison bugs to get rid of them. Now scientists
are finding new ways to kill bugs with germs. The germs make the bugs sick, and
then they die. Scientists also use bugs to fight the other bugs. The ladybug is an
example. It eats bugs that hurt fruit.
5. The story mainly tells .
A. poison is not the only way to get rid of bugs
B. people need to stay away from ladybugs
C. most bugs like to eat fruit trees
