They are edited as six books in the Royal School Series. Students progressed from the very easy lessons to classic readers. The First Book, beginning with similarly easy lessons, consisted of rhymes and simple short stories with plenty of illustrations for young learners. Children learned letters and easy reading. The first part of this book focuses exclusively on monosyllabic words and the second part introduces two syllable words. In the Second Book there are short selections of poetry and prose designed to encourage interest in reading. Each story is followed by a lesson on pronunciation, simple definitions of new words and questions on its content. The Third Book is very similar though slightly more advanced and including more writing exercises. The Fourth Book includes phonetic exercises, model compositions and dictation exercises, as well as outlines of British History from Roman Period as far as 1400 A. D. The Fifth Book features sections on health of the body, plants and their uses, as well as quotes and stories of great men. Book Six, the final book in the series, contains word lessons and passages with sections on great inventions, classification of animals, useful knowledge, punctuation and physical geography, as well as the British Constitution.

书能成为书，不管大小，都需要一些不可少的特定条件。就这本小书来说，原始材料积累得很早，但是积累起来的材料究竟有多大价值，除了个人的不断精选和淘汰，一定需要同行直接和间接的甄别。很幸运，除了我敬重的向位老同事老前辈的指点和提携，我还有几位朋友喜欢讨论文字翻译中的各种问题。 　　书稿初步成型后，或者部分章节，或者全书，请我的几位朋友从不同角度阅读，得到了很有价值的反馈，比如尽量体现本书的特色，分析例子要精确到位，避开理论，突出实践，等等。于是，我根据他们的建议，又把积累的部分卡片重新分析，选出几十例，从新的角度增写了一些章节，使这本小书比过去显得更为厚实了。

With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson--the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent --brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't), to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries.

When Chef Anthony Bourdain wrote "Don t Eat Before You Read This" in The New Yorker， he spared no one s appetite， revealing what goes on behind the kitchen door. In Kitchen Confidential， he expanded that appetizer into a deliciously funny， delectable shocking banquet that lays out his 25 years of sex， drugs， and haute cuisine.From his first oyster in the Gironde to the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center， from the restaurants of Tokyo to the drug dealers of the East Village， from the mobsters to the rats， Bourdain s brilliantly written， wild-but-true tales make the belly ache with laughter.

In this book, Lee draws on that wealth of experience and depth of insight to offer his views on today’s world and what it might look like in 20 years. This is no dry geopolitical treatise. Nor is it a thematic account of the twists and turns in global affairs. Instead, in this broad-sweep narrative that takes in America, China, Asia and Europe, he parses their society, probes the psyche of the people and draws his conclusions about their chances for survival and just where they might land in the hierarchy of tomorrow’s balance of power. What makes a society tick? What do its people really believe? Can it adapt? In spare, unflinching prose that eschews political correctness, he describes a China that remains obsessed with control from the centre on its way to an unstoppable rise; an America that will have to share its pre-eminence despite its never-say-die dynamism; and a Europe that struggles with the challenges of keeping its union intact. His candid and often startling views – on why Japan is closed to foreigners, why the Arab Spring won’t bring one man, one vote to the Middle East, and why preventing global warming is not going to be as fruitful as preparing for it – make this a fresh and gripping read. Lee completes the book by looking into the future of Singapore – his enduring concern – and by offering the reader a glimpse into his personal life and his view of death. The book is interspersed with a Q&A section in each chapter, gleaned from conversations he had with journalists from The Straits Times.

本书收录文章全部出自青少年之手。这本书与其他面向青少年的书的最大不同在于它不是成年人对青少年的说教，而是用青少年的视角去看待他们自己面临的种种问题：友谊、爱情、亲情、人生中的困境等等，以及他们对这些问题的思考。对于读者而言，同龄人的经历和观点或许比长辈的教训更有意义，更能促使他们看清自己。当你尝到生活的苦咸滋味，看看同龄人的相似经历与应对方法，或许能让你对自己的生活有另一番领悟。

《美丽英文:做自己想做的人》讲述每个人平和或躁动的心情都会传递给整个世界。如果我们的内心充斥着矛盾，仇恨，怀疑和愤概，就不可能创造一个和平的世界。不论是否把内心的情感表达出来，我们无意中都在向外传递着自己的喜怒哀乐。不论我们内心激起的波纹是哪一种，都会波及他人，与他们的生命波纹共振，创造或美好，或不和谐的生活。

In her first memoir, Roz Chast brings her signature wit to the topic of aging parents. Spanning the last several years of their lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, and documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears, Chast’s memoir is both comfort and comic relief for anyone experiencing the life-altering loss of elderly parents. When it came to her elderly mother and father, Roz held to the practices of denial, avoidance, and distraction. But when Elizabeth Chast climbed a ladder to locate an old souvenir from the “crazy closet”—with predictable results—the tools that had served Roz well through her parents’ seventies, eighties, and into their early nineties could no longer be deployed. While the particulars are Chast-ian in their idiosyncrasies—an anxious father who had relied heavily on his wife for stability as he slipped into dementia and a former assistant principal mother whose overbearing personality had sidelined Roz for decades—the themes are universal: adult children accepting a parental role; aging and unstable parents leaving a family home for an institution; dealing with uncomfortable physical intimacies; managing logistics; and hiring strangers to provide the most personal care. An amazing portrait of two lives at their end and an only child coping as best she can, Can We Talk about Something More Pleasant will show the full range of Roz Chast’s talent as cartoonist and storyteller.
