Teaching Reflections：
本课为高一年级学生的一节阅读课，由于学生基础较为薄弱，还未能根据阅读目的运用适当的阅读策略，需老师加以引导。因为本文内容离学生现在的生活较远，对二战的历史不熟悉的学生不容易明白和感受到安妮日记中所描述的心境，所以我在阅读课文前给学生提供了相应的背景知识，此举有助于学生更好地理解课文。让学生快速浏览背景找时间、地点等要素，能够让学生学会快速阅读的技巧，为以后概括中心内容，甚至复述课文打基础。精读的设置进一步加深了学生对课文的理解。最后设置了一个讨论环节很好地锻炼了学生的口语。通过阅读这篇课文，学生的阅读技能得到初步训练，同时了解的友谊的珍贵并学会珍惜友谊。当然，这节课也有很多不足之处，比如说学生的阅读速度较慢，理解不到位，教师口语不太地道等等。

Friends are like wine; the older, the better.1. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
2. A life without a friend is a life
without the sun.
3. A faithful friend is hard to find.

人世间所有的荣华富贵不如一个好朋友！Anne’s Best FriendReadingBackgroundThis is a true story. It took place in Amsterdam, Holland in the early 1940s after the German Nazis had occupied (占领）most of Europe. The Nazi Party ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. One of their key policies was to kill all the Jews in Europe. If any persons known to be Jews were found, they would be sent to concentration camps（集中营） farther east, mostly in Poland. For many days, they went without food, water, sanitation(卫生条件) or fresh air. To avoid this terrible fate, some Jewish families went into hiding, often with the help of non-Jewish friends . This diary was written during the time when Anne and her family moved to escape from being killed by Nazis.Now read the text quickly to find out:
