英語(yǔ)閱讀小文章篇一：
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
皮卡迪利大街附近的一條著名拱廊街道上，幾家高檔商店剛剛開始營(yíng)業(yè)。在早晨的這個(gè)時(shí)候，拱廊街上幾乎空無(wú)一人。珠寶店主泰勒先生正在欣賞新布置的櫥窗。他手下兩名店員從早上8點(diǎn)就開始忙碌，這時(shí)剛剛布置完畢。鉆石項(xiàng)鏈、戒指漂亮地陳列在黑色絲絨上面。泰勒先生站在櫥窗外凝神欣賞了幾分鐘就回到了店里。
寧?kù)o突然被打破，一輛大轎車亮著前燈，響著喇叭，呼嘯著沖進(jìn)了拱廊街，在珠寶店門口停了下來(lái)。一人留在駕駛座上，另外兩個(gè)用黑色長(zhǎng)筒絲襪蒙面的人跳下車來(lái)。他們用鐵棒把商店櫥窗的玻璃砸碎。這開始發(fā)生時(shí)，泰勒先生正在樓上。他與店員動(dòng)手向窗外投擲家具，椅子，桌子飛落花流水在拱廊街上。一個(gè)竊賊被一尊很重的雕像擊中，但由于他忙著搶鉆石首飾，竟連疼痛都顧不上了。這場(chǎng)搶劫只持續(xù)了3分鐘，因?yàn)楦`賊爭(zhēng)先恐后地爬上轎車，以驚人的速度開跑了。就在轎車離開的時(shí)候，泰勒先生從店里沖了出來(lái)，跟在車后追趕，一邊還往車上扔煙灰缸、花瓶。但他已無(wú)法抓住那些竊賊了。他們已帶著價(jià)值數(shù)千鎊的首飾逃之夭夭了。
英語(yǔ)閱讀小文章篇二：
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

英語(yǔ)閱讀小文章篇三：
Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
幾乎過了一個(gè)星期，那姑娘才能講述自己的遭遇。一天下午，她乘小船從海岸出發(fā)，在一只小船，遇上了風(fēng)暴。傍晚，船觸礁了，姑娘跳進(jìn)了海里。然后她游在水里度過了一整夜之后。在此期間，她游了八英里。第二天清晨，她看見前方有燈光。她知道自己已經(jīng)接近岸邊了因?yàn)槟菬艄馐窃诟吒叩膽已律?。到達(dá)岸邊后，姑娘掙扎著往峭壁上爬去朝著她看到的燈光。她所記得的就是這些。過了一天她醒來(lái)時(shí)，她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己住院。
