CINDERELLA
65Once upon a time, there was
a little girl named Cinderella. Her
mother died when she was a baby.
Her father took care of her.
Cinderella’s father was very
kind to her. When he traveled,
he took Cinderella with him. He
bought her beautiful dresses
and many toys. At night, he told
her stories. Cinderella loved her
father very much.
When Cinderella was eight years
old, her father married again. Her
stepmother was mean. She had two
daughters. They were named Olivia
and Ingrid. Olivia and Ingrid were ugly.
They were lazy and mean, too. They
were unkind to Cinderella.
Cinderella was happy when her
father came home. Her stepmother
and stepsisters pretended to be nice
to her.
66One day, bad news came to Cinderella.
Her father fell off his horse and died.
Cinderella cried and cried, “Father,
how can I live without you?”
From then on, life was hard for Cinderella.
Her stepmother and stepsisters took away all
her beautiful dresses. They did not give her
enough food to eat.
The mean stepmother made Cinderella do all the housework.
Cinderella cleaned the house, cooked the meals and washed the dishes.
She did all the laundry. The two lazy stepsisters asked Cinderella to do
things for them.
“Cinderella, bring me some
cake!” said Olivia.
“Cinderella, bring me my
dress!” said Ingrid.
“Clean my shoes!” said Olivia.
“Clean up my bedroom!”
said Ingrid.
Cinderella worked and worked. She
did not have any time to rest. The two lazy
stepsisters wore beautiful dresses and ate
good food. They did not do any work.
67The prince wanted to find a
wife. The king decided to hold
a party in the castle to find a
wife for him.
One day, the postman brought an invitation letter
to Cinderella’s house. Olivia, Ingrid and Cinderella
were all invited to the party.
The two lazy stepsisters began
to prepare for the party. They put on
their beautiful dresses. They wore
their gold necklaces and earrings.
They put a lot of powder on their
faces. They put thick lipstick on their
lips. They were ready for the party.
The mean stepmother said to
Cinderella, “You’re dirty. You don’t
have a beautiful dress. Stay at home
and work!”
The stepmother took her two
lazy daughters to the party. Cinderella
was so sad that she began to cry.
68Cinderella cried and cried. Then she
heard a voice, “Don’t cry, Cinderella.”
Cinderella looked up. She saw a
fairy standing before her. The fairy had
a magic wand in her hand. Cinderella
was surprised. “Who are you? Why did
you come here?”
“I’m a fairy,” said the fairy. “I’m here to
help you. Stand up, Cinderella.”
Cinderella stood up. The fairy waved
her magic wand. Cinderella had a beautiful
dress and a pair of glass shoes!
“Thank you, Fairy,” said Cinderella. “But how can I get to the castle?”
“Don’t worry. Look!” The fairy waved her magic wand at a big pumpkin.
The pumpkin became a coach. The fairy waved her magic wand at three
mice. Two mice became horses and one mouse became the driver.
“Now, go to the party, Cinderella. But remember,
you must be home before midnight.”
69At the party, the prince was not
happy. He could not find any girl who
was good enough to be his wife.
When Cinderella came, all the
people at the party were surprised.
She was so beautiful. The prince
was happy. He went to Cinderella
and asked, “May I have this dance
with you?”
“Yes,” said Cinderella.
The prince and Cinderella danced
happily. Then Cinderella heard the clock
strike. “Oh, no! It’s 12 o’clock! I must
go!” Cinderella ran out of the castle.
“Please don’t go!” said the prince.
Cinderella did not stop. She ran
and ran. In a hurry, Cinderella lost
one of her glass shoes on the stairs.
The prince picked up the glass shoe
and said to himself, “I’ll find her.”
70The prince went from house to
house. He was trying to find a girl
who could wear the glass shoe. In
Cinderella’s house, the two lazy
stepsisters were trying very hard to
put on the shoe. They wanted to be
the prince’s wife, but the shoe was
too small for their big, fat feet.
Cinderella came in. She
wanted to try on the glass
shoe. Her stepmother said,
“She didn’t go to the party.”
The prince looked at
Cinderella and said, “She’s
very pretty. Let her try it on.”
The servant gave the glass
shoe to Cinderella. Cinderella
took the shoe. She sat down and
tried on the shoe. To everyone’s
surprise, the shoe fit her perfectly.
71The prince was very happy.
“Yes!” he shouted. “You’re the girl!”
Cinderella smiled. She took out
the other glass shoe from her pocket.
They made a pair!
The prince took Cinderella to the king
and the queen. “This is Cinderella,” said
the prince. “I want to marry her!” The king
and the queen were happy with Cinderella.
They agreed.
The prince and Cinderella got married. They
held a big wedding party to celebrate. The prince
and Cinderella lived happily ever after.

74后 记
清华版小学《英语》（一年级起点）教材是由清华大学“大、中、小学一
条龙英语教学”研究与实践项目组编写的。
清华大学“大、中、小学一条龙英语教学”研究与实践项目开始于1998年，
至今已历时十多个年头。这个项目在研究进程中，先后受到国家社会科学基金项
目、教育部高教司英语教学改革项目和清华大学 985 项目等多个项目的支持。
经过十多年的教学与研究，这个项目取得了许多重要成果，赢得了有关专家、教
师、家长和学生们的广泛好评，在全国基础英语教育界享有很高的声誉。中央
电 视台、 北京电 视台、 清华大 学电视 台 、 《 北 京日报》、C h i n a D a i l y 、《外语
教学与研究》《中小学外语教学》《人民教育》等多种媒体先后报道、刊登该
项实验的有关成果，在社会上引起了较大反响。清华大学于2006年授予这个项
目“清华大学教学成果奖”一等奖。清华版小学《英语》（一年级起点）教材
是该项目的重要研究成果之一。
本套教材力求体现世界先进的教育思想、新的语言观和外语学习观，突出
语言的交际功能及其人文性特点，以发展语言实践能力为主线，以培养学生用
英语进行交际的能力为最终目标，同时注重培养学生的学习兴趣，提高学生的
综合人文素养，从根本上体现了教育部制定的义务教育《英语课程标准》的基
本教育理念和教育思想。过去十多年的英语教学实验证明，完成本教材学习的
学生，能够对英语学习产生强烈的兴趣，习得良好的英语语感，具备较高的听、
说能力和初步的读、写能力，进入中学后在英语学科上具有明显的优势。
本套教材的研究与实践，是在清华大学“大、中、小学一条龙英语教学”研
究与实践项目领导小组的领导下，在专家顾问委员会的指导下，在小学英语教
材编写委员会全体成员的共同努力下完成的。参加本次义务教育教科书编写的
人员，除主编和副主编外，还有清华附小的马艳红、范敏、王洁、陈新蕾、张美
新、芦荣、俞琨、王奇志、黄耀华、蔡建敏、赵若冰、任丹，和北大附小的范冰、
朱晓媛、李瑜、刘桂红。另外，国内外许多教育教学专家、学科专家、教研人员、
一线教师，以及家长和学生，都对本套教材的编写与实践提出了许多宝贵的建
议。特此一并致谢。
