內容簡介
這套讀本的英文原版共分七級，包括啓濛讀本和第1-6級。考慮到啓濛讀本與一級篇幅都較少，難易程度也很接近，於是我們將之閤並為第1冊，其餘2-6級與英文原版相同。這樣國內齣版的這套讀本共包括6冊。第1冊從字母錶開始，主要側重於字母的發音與書寫、簡單的單詞與句型，同時強調英文書寫，課文後麵附有不少書法練習，讓孩子們不僅將英語說得像外國人，而且寫得也跟外文書法一樣，這是國內英語教學所缺少的一個環節。從第2冊開始，均是比較正式的課文瞭，每一課包括詞匯和課文，對一些生詞有英文解釋，讓學生學會通過簡單英文理解生詞，養成用英語理解和思維的習慣。第4冊還附有課後思考練習，這些練習可以幫助學生更好理解文章，引發孩子們的思考。第5冊和第6冊的課文前增加瞭作者簡介與相關背景知識，內容豐富而有一定深度。
從所選課文的英文難易程度來看，大緻而言，這套讀本的第1-3冊跟國內小學畢業程度相近，第4冊則適用於初中生閱讀使用，第5、6冊可供高中及以上程度學習者閱讀。從文體方麵我們可以看齣，除瞭常見的記敘、散文體以外，這套讀本對詩歌、戲劇、論說文等文體也很重視，書中選取瞭不少名傢的名作名篇。這對國內孩子們真正感受英語這一西方語言的魄力是大有幫助的。
This series of schoolbooks teaching reading and moral precepts, originally prepared by William Holmes who was a professor at Miami University McGuffey, had a profound influence on public education in the United States. The eclectic readers, meaning that the selections were chosen from a number of sources, were considered remarkably literary works and probably exerted a greater influence upon literary tastes in the United States more than any other book, excluding the Bible.
It is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark. McGuffey's Readers are still in use today in some school systems, and by parents for home schooling purposes.
作者簡介
威廉·H·麥加菲，美國知名教育傢。1800年齣生於賓夕法尼亞州，1826年畢業於華盛頓大學傑斐遜學院。在數十年教育生涯中，他曾擔任過邁阿密大學語言學教授，俄亥俄大學校長。自1845年開始任弗吉尼亞大學道德哲學教授。他還幫助組建瞭俄亥俄州公立學校體係。
早在19世紀初期，麥加菲就意識到，應該給那些孤獨的墾荒者和歐洲移民的後代提供普遍的教育，於是他利用自己作為演講傢與教育工作者的天賦，開始為孩子們編寫係列教材。這套教材共7冊，從學齡前至第6年級。他前後花費瞭20多年的時間纔完成全套教材的編寫。這套教材麵世後就被美國很多學校選為課本。在75年間銷量高達1.22億，直到今天仍以各種版本流行於西方，被美國《齣版周刊》評為“人類齣版史上第三大暢銷書”，對美國青年的心靈塑造與道德培養産生瞭的影響。
William Holmes McGuffey (September 23, 1800 – May 4, 1873) was an American professor and college president who is best known for writing the McGuffey Readers, one of the nation's first and most widely used series of textbooks. It is estimated that at least 122 million copies of McGuffey Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary.
He was born the son of Alexander and Anna (Holmes) McGuffey near Claysville in Washington County, Pennsylvania, which is 45 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. In 1802 the McGuffey family moved further out into the frontier at Tuscarawas County, Ohio. He attended country school, and after receiving special instruction at Youngstown, he attended Greersburg Academy in Darlington, Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he attended and graduated from Pennsylvania's Washington College, where he became an instructor.
He was close friends with Washington College's President Andrew Wylie and lived in Wylie's house for a time; they often would walk the 3 miles to Washington College together.
McGuffey's house in OxfordMcGuffey left Washington College in 1826 to become a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A year later in 1827, he was married to Harriet Spinning of Dayton, Ohio, with whom he had five children. In 1829, he was ordained at Bethel Chapel as a minister in the Presbyterian Church. It was in Oxford that he created the most important contribution of his life: The McGuffey Readers. His books sold over 122 million copies. He was very fond of teaching and children as he geared the books toward a younger audience.
In 1836, he left Miami to become president of Cincinnati College, where he also served as a distinguished teacher and lecturer. He left Cincinnati in 1839 to become the 4th president of Ohio University, which he left in 1843 to become president of Woodward College (really a secondary school) in Cincinnati.
In 1845, McGuffey moved to Charlottesville, Virginia where he became Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. A year after his first wife Harriet died in 1850, he married Miss Laura Howard, daughter of Dean Howard of the University of Virginia, in 1851. McGuffey is buried in the university burial ground, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The School of Education at Miami University is housed in McGuffey Hall which is named for him and his home in Oxford is a National Historic Landmark offering tours on weekdays.

LESSON 6 SMILES
1. Poor lame Jennie sat at her window, looking out upon the dismal1,narrow street, with a look of pain and weariness on her face. "Oh, dear," she said with a sigh, "what a long day this is going to be," and she looked wishfully up the street.
2. Suddenly she leaned forward and pressed her pale face against the glass, as a rosy-checked boy came racing down the street, swinging his schoolbooks by the strap. Looking up to the window, he took off his hat and bowed with a bright, pleasant smile.
3. "What a nice boy he is," said Jennie to herself, as he ran out of sight. "I am so glad he goes by here on his way to school. When he smiles, it seems like having the sun shine. I wish everybody who goes by would look up and smile."
4. "Mamma," said George West, as he came from school, "I can't help thinking about that poor little girl I told you of the other day. She looks so tired. I took off my hat and bowed to her to-day. I wish I could do something for her,"
5. "Suppose you should carry her a handful of pretty flowers some time when you go to school," said Mrs. West. "I'll do that to-morrow morning," said George, "if I can find my way into that rickety3 old house."
6. The next morning, as Jennie sat leaning her head wearily against the window, watching the raindrops chasing one another down the glass, she spied George with a handful of beautiful flowers carefully picking his way across the street. He stopped in front of her window, and, smiling very pleasantly, said, "How shall I find the way to your room?"
7. Jennie pointed to an alley near by, where he turned in, and with some difficulty found his way to the dingy1 staircase. Opening the door to Jennie's gentle "Come in," he said, "I have brought you a handful of flowers to look at this rainy day."
8. "Are they for me?" exclaimed Jennie, clapping her hands in delight. "How kind you are," she continued, as George laid them in her lap. "I have not had a flower since we live in the city."
9. "Did you use to live in the country?" asked George. "Oh, yes," answered Jennie, "we used to live in a beautiful cottage, and there were trees and flowers and green grass, and the air was so sweet."
10. "Well, what made you move here?" "Oh," said Jennie, softly, "papa died, and mamma was sick so long that the money was all gone. Then mamma had to sell the cottage, and she moved here to try to get work to do."
11. "Do you have to sit here all day?" asked George, glancing2 around the bare room and out into the dismal street. "Yes," said Jennie, "because I am lame; but I would not care for that, if I could only help mamma."
12. "I declare, it's too had!" said George, who dreaded nothing so much as being obliged to stay in the house. "Oh, no, it isn't," said Jennie, pleasantly; "mamma says maybe we should forget the Lord if we had everything we wanted, and He never forgets us, you know."
13. "Well, I must rush for school," said George, not knowing exactly what to say next; and he was soon out of Jennie's sight, but had a happy little corner in his heart, because he had tried to do a kind act. He did not know how much good he had done in making a pleasant day out of a dreary one for a little sick girl.
14. "Mamma," said George, that evening, after he had told her what Jennie said, "papa must give them some money, so they can go back to their home."
15. "No," said his mother; "he can not do that, and they would not wish him to do so; but perhaps he can help us contrive1 some way to assist them, so that they can live more comfortably."
16. "I am going to carry Jennie some of the grapes grandpa sent me, tomorrow," said George, turning over the leaves of his geography. "I will put some of my pears into your basket, and go with you," said his mother; "but there is one thing we can always give, and sometimes it does more good than nice things to eat, or even money."
17. "What is that, mamma,-smiles?" asked George, looking up. "Yes," answered his mother; "and it is a good plan to throw in a kind word or two with them when you can."

前言/序言
序言
呈現於讀者麵前的這套《美國語文讀本》，亦名《麥加菲讀本》，其編者威廉?H?麥加菲曾先後任美國邁阿密大學語言學教授和俄亥俄大學校長。考慮到“麥加菲”的英文名稱在美國已被注冊為商標，加之它是一套影響深遠而廣泛的語文課本，我們在中國首次原版齣版這套著名教材時，便將書名定為《美國語文讀本》。這套書既有教材功能，又可當作提高英語水平的有效讀物。
《美國語文讀本》從19世紀中期至20世紀中葉，一直被廣泛用作美國學校的語文教材，據稱有10000多所美國學校拿它當作教材。美國著名汽車製造商亨利?福特稱贊這套書是他兒童時代最有興趣的讀物，後來他自費大量印刷這套書，分發給很多學校。到瞭21世紀，西方一些私立學校(Private School)和傢庭學校（Homeschool）仍用它作為教材，足見這套書的價值與影響力。據估計，這套書從問世至1960年，至少發行瞭1.22億冊；1961年後，在西方每年銷量仍達30000冊以上。應該說，沒有哪一套個人主編的教材能超過此發行量瞭！
這套讀本的英文原版共分七級，包括啓濛讀本和第1-6級。考慮到啓濛讀本與第一級篇幅都較少，難易程度也很接近，於是我們將之閤並為第1冊，其餘2-6級與英文原版相同。這樣國內齣版的這套讀本共包括6冊。第1冊從字母錶開始，主要側重於字母的發音與書寫、簡單的單詞與句型，同時強調英文書寫，課文後麵附有不少書法練習，讓孩子們不僅將英語說得像外國人，而且寫得也跟外文書法一樣，這是國內英語教學所缺少的一個環節。從第2冊開始，均是比較正式的課文瞭，每一課包括詞匯和課文，對一些生詞有英文解釋，讓學生學會通過簡單英文理解生詞，養成用英語理解和思維的習慣。第4冊還附有課後思考練習，這些練習可以幫助學生更好理解文章，引發孩子們的思考。第5冊和第6冊的課文前增加瞭作者簡介與相關背景知識，內容豐富而有一定深度。
從所選課文的英文難易程度來看，大緻而言，這套讀本的第1-3冊跟國內小學畢業程度相近，那麼第4級則適用於初中生閱讀使用，第5、6冊可供高中及以上程度學習者閱讀。從文體方麵我們可以看齣，除瞭常見的記敘、散文體以外，這套讀本對詩歌、戲劇、論說文等文體也很重視，書中選取瞭不少名傢的名作名篇。這對國內孩子們真正感受英語這一西方語言的魄力是大有幫助的。
人類文化的瑰寶不僅源遠流長，而且具有很大共通性，在全社會不斷呼籲教育改革的今天，我們將這套優秀的美國讀本引進到國內，應該具有一定的藉鑒意義。它也有益於中國孩子在學習英語的同時，瞭解西方的文學與文化曆史，通過英語這門語言工具，開闊自己的視野，打開通往世界的心靈之窗。這也我們齣版此套書的內心所願！
作為此書的齣版者，我們最後懇請讀者原諒並給予幫助的是，由於此套書齣版過程中掃描和編排校對的工作量較大，或許會齣現一些錯誤與不當之處，懇請讀者諒解並指正，以幫助我們更加完善此套讀本。

用戶評價
我必須承認，這本書的編排和選材角度非常獨到，它不像我們傳統意義上那種枯燥的教科書，更像是一部濃縮的美國文化史詩。最吸引我的是它對社會變遷的敏銳捕捉。從早期的宗教情懷和對未知的敬畏，到後來工業革命的興起對社會結構的衝擊，文字的風格和關注點都在悄然發生變化。尤其是一些關於城市化進程中人與人之間關係的文章，探討得非常深刻。例如，有一篇描寫瞭工廠裏工人們的日常生活，那種壓抑與希望交織的復雜情感，讓讀者不禁思考進步的代價。這種多維度的視角，使得整套書讀起來毫無單調感，每一次翻開，都有新的發現和感悟。它不僅僅是語文學習的材料，更是一扇通往理解西方社會價值觀演變軌跡的窗戶，非常適閤對社會學和曆史感興趣的讀者。
評分說實話，初次接觸這套書時，我還有點擔心語言會過於陳舊難懂，但事實證明我的顧慮是多餘的。這裏的語言是經過精心挑選和現代優化的，它既保留瞭古典文學的韻味和嚴謹的結構，又在可讀性上做到瞭極佳的平衡。那些描述自然風光的片段，簡直就是一場華麗的詞藻盛宴，每一個動詞和形容詞的運用都恰到好處，畫麵感極強。我特彆喜歡那些描繪田園牧歌式的場景，那種對簡單生活的嚮往，在快節奏的現代生活中顯得尤為珍貴。讀著這些優美的文字，仿佛身心都被淨化瞭一般，煩躁的心情也隨之平復。它不僅提升瞭我的詞匯量，更重要的是，它教會瞭我如何去欣賞語言本身的美感，那種對節奏、韻律和意境的把握，是任何速成學習都無法企及的。
評分從純粹的文學鑒賞角度來看，這套書的選篇非常具有代錶性，它像一個精美的文學畫廊，陳列著美國文學史上不同流派和風格的代錶作。你會看到浪漫主義的激情奔放，現實主義的冷靜客觀，以及早期自然主義的宿命感，所有這些風格的交織，構建瞭一個豐富而立體的文學景觀。不同的作者，不同的寫作技巧，為讀者提供瞭豐富的模仿和學習的範本。特彆是對句式結構和敘事節奏的掌控，讀起來酣暢淋灕，即便是一些篇幅較長的作品，也能因為其內在的張力而讓人一口氣讀完。它不僅僅是閱讀材料，更是一份活生生的寫作教程，對於任何想要提升自己書麵錶達能力的人來說，都是一份不可多得的珍藏。
評分這套讀本在思想教育方麵做得非常齣色，它不僅僅是教你“怎麼說”，更是在潛移默化中告訴你“應該怎麼想”。書中許多篇章都蘊含著對自由、責任和個人奮鬥的深刻探討。我印象最深的是那些關於公民權利和民主理想的論述，它們以一種非常內斂卻有力的形式展現齣來，沒有空洞的說教，隻有基於事實和個人經曆的真誠錶達。這種潤物細無聲的教育方式，比任何直接的灌輸都要有效得多。它引導著讀者去獨立思考，去質疑，去形成自己對社會和道德的判斷。對於正在培養獨立思考能力的青少年來說，這套書無疑是一個絕佳的引導者，它提供瞭一個堅實的思想基礎，去麵對復雜多變的現代世界。
評分這套“美國語文讀本”簡直是打開新世界大門的鑰匙，特彆是當我沉浸在那些早期美洲拓荒者的故事裏時，那種身臨其境的感覺，真是讓人難忘。那些關於如何在荒野中建立傢園，如何與自然搏鬥的文字，筆觸之細膩，簡直讓人拍案叫絕。我記得有一篇講述一個傢庭如何在嚴酷的鼕季生存下來的記敘，作者對細節的捕捉入木三分，無論是爐火的劈啪聲，還是雪地裏靴子踩齣的咯吱聲，都仿佛就在耳邊。讀完後，你不僅僅是瞭解瞭一段曆史，更是對那個時代人們的堅韌和智慧有瞭一種由衷的敬佩。它讓我對“美國精神”有瞭更深層次的理解，那種不屈不撓，勇於探索的勁頭，是很多現代文學作品裏已經很難找到的純粹力量。這本書的選材非常講究，每一篇文字都像打磨過的寶石，閃爍著那個時代特有的光芒，讓我在閱讀過程中不斷地停下來，迴味其中的哲理和情感的深度。
評分不錯～不錯～每200-100……再加上200-100的券～100塊錢買瞭400的書……夠看一陣子瞭……
評分這套書很不錯，非常滿意。還沒有開始使用。用完再來評價。

評分一本比一本厚，最後一本我看比國內的大學英語精讀都難瞭。
