美文阅读
[For Advanced Readers] 供高级汉语学习者
读好书、多读书、好读书。－冰心
读好书、多读书、好读书。－冰心
华文作为二语学习，语料输入(Input) 是强化语言学习的重要因素。中高年级学生，即便汉语有了一定基础，在未提供足够阅读材料的情况下，要求学生课堂上每周写上百字的作文，恐怕无法有效强化语言学习，毕竟二语学习不等同于母语习得。
阅读材料是语料输入的一类。网上有好些适合青少年阅读的美文。日积月累，希望通过量读与精读、能扩充学生的词汇量、提高语文鉴赏能力。搜寻了好些中文阅读网，很多嵌入各类五花八门广告。这里介绍几个适合青少年浏览、阅读的中文阅读网以及中英对照阅读网。
- 新浪教育网 －《做人与作文》系列丛书收录了哲理故事、美文、作文等篇章。第一辑将文章分四大类别－信念篇、生活篇、笃行篇、人格篇。 其他见《做人与作文》第二辑、《做人与作文》第三辑。
- 中国青年网－ 中英对照阅读。收录的文章不多，但有一名篇《荷塘月色》。
- China.org.cn - 提供中英对照阅读篇章。
品读人生（篇章）
多少好话吧！良言一句三冬暖，恶语伤人六月寒。
2. 陪他好好活下去
中国著名智障指挥家。你不得不赞叹“一切生命都是伟大的！”
3. 成功3Q - 李嘉诚
IQ、EQ、SQ 皆重要。
4. 了解爱的意义 - 海伦凯勒
美国盲聋女作家、教育家 。爱是什么？爱摸不着，但你却能感到她带来的甜蜜。
5. 在梦的远方 - 林清玄
作者的母亲“和一般乡村妇女没有两样，不过她鼓励我们要有梦想，并且懂得坚持，光
是这一点，使我后来成为作家”。
