The morning of September 11, 2001, was much like any other day in New York City. The streets were choked with traffic, and people filled the sidewalks as they scurried to work. Horns honked,and an occasional siren pierced the noisy air.

At the southern end of Manhattan Island, the twin towers of the World Trade Center stood like proud guards over the city. Thousands of workers exited taxis, buses, and underground subways, making their way to their World Trade Center

offices, stacked 110 floors into the sky. High-speed elevators swiftly carried workers upward from the street level to their places of work.

Then, as if out of nowhere, came the roar of jet engines overhead. The skyscraper-walled canyons of the city were used to loud and unusual sounds, but never one like this. As pedestrians looked skyward, they saw a large passenger jet flying unusually low, headed directly toward the World Trade Center.

2001 年 9 月 11 日的早晨，與紐約市的其他任何一天非常相似。 街道上車水馬龍，人們匆忙上班時(shí)擠滿了人行道。 喇叭響起，偶爾的警報(bào)聲刺破嘈雜的空氣。 在曼哈頓島的南端，世貿(mào)中心的雙子塔像驕傲的衛(wèi)兵一樣矗立在這座城市的上方。 成千上萬(wàn)的工人離開出租車、公共汽車和地鐵，前往他們的世界貿(mào)易中心 110 層樓的辦公室，直沖云霄。 高速電梯迅速將工人從街道上抬到工作地點(diǎn)。 然后，仿佛不知從哪里冒出來(lái)的，頭頂上傳來(lái)噴氣發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的轟鳴聲。 這座城市摩天大樓圍墻的峽谷已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了響亮和不尋常的聲音，但從來(lái)沒有像這樣。 行人抬頭望天，只見一架大型客機(jī)飛得異常低，直奔世貿(mào)中心而去。

RAZ有嚴(yán)密的分級(jí)體系：根據(jù)全文詞匯數(shù)、高頻詞詞匯數(shù)與比例、低頻詞詞匯數(shù)與比例、句子長(zhǎng)度、句子復(fù)雜度、句式、插圖信息量、思想深度、主題等多個(gè)角度，將整個(gè)閱讀體系分為aa，A-Z共27個(gè)級(jí)別。

RAZ旨在幫助孩子找到適合孩子水平的級(jí)別，通過(guò)在同一級(jí)別下的大量閱讀逐步提高孩子的閱讀能力。

RAZ按難度分為27個(gè)級(jí)別，AA—C這4個(gè)級(jí)別對(duì)應(yīng)幼兒園階段; D—J這7個(gè)級(jí)別對(duì)應(yīng)美國(guó)小學(xué)一年級(jí);K—P這6個(gè)級(jí)別對(duì)應(yīng)美國(guó)小學(xué)二年級(jí);Q—T這4個(gè)級(jí)別對(duì)應(yīng)美國(guó)小學(xué)三年級(jí);U—W這3個(gè)級(jí)別對(duì)應(yīng)美國(guó)小學(xué)四年級(jí);X—Z對(duì)應(yīng)美國(guó)小學(xué)五六年級(jí)(相當(dāng)于國(guó)內(nèi)高中畢業(yè))。
