We decided to make a barbecue in the valley. So we collected some tree sticks to make a fire. My father asked me if I could try to make a fire. I was glad to take the job.

It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out. For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went. Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right. A quick bit of surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans. “So,”I said, "You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg.

First they went out and found two straight sticks of the same length. They brought them back home and tied them with a piece of string into the shape of a cross. Then they took some string and used it to tie the four ends of the sticks together. Then, they spread some brightly coloured paper over the frame and glued it around the string. They stuck a tail made of paper to one of the corners, and tied a long string to the centre of the kite. On the next windy day, they took the kite to a hill near their house and flew it. straight stick 直木棍 tie 系 string 绳子 shape 形状 cross 十字 spread 传开 frame 框架 stick 粘 tail 尾巴 windy 有 风的 做一个风筝 一天,保罗和理查德决定做一个风筝。首先,他们出门找了两根一样 长的直木棍。他们把木棍带回家,用一根绳子把它们绑成十字形。然 后他们又拿了些绳子,把木棍的四个顶端连在一起。然后,他们把一 些颜色鲜艳的纸涂上胶水,粘在风筝的框架上。他们将纸做的尾巴粘 在一角,在风筝中间系上一根长绳。在接下来的一个有风的日子里, 他们就在家附近的小山上放风筝了。 8 Animals in Danger Some of the animals and birds in the rainforest, such as monkeys and woodpeckers, live in the treetops. They are always swinging and flying from one tree to another looking for food among the leaves and branches. They even sleep in the treetops so they do not have to come down to the ground. Have you heard that such animals and birds in the rainforests are in danger? Because people are cutting down so many trees in the forests, the animals are losing their homes. Do you know the reasons for it? Yes, people want wood, paper and land. As a result many animals and plants are dying.

It is estimated that the number of people who use English exceeds 750 million. Among these, about 350 million are native speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add to this number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is close to one billion.

The friend was very rich. He and his wife had their own box at the theatre. During the opera the friend's wife talked all the time. She also talked rather loudly. She talked so much that it was often difficult for Mark Twain to listen to the opera. Toward the end of the opera she turned to Mark Twain and said, "Oh, my dear Mark Twain, I do want you to be with us again next Friday night. I'm sure you will like it — the opera will be Carmen." "Thank you very much,"said Mark Twain. "That will be fine. I have never heard you in Carmen."

I have been in England for eleven months. I am going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave for China next month. At first it was very difficult for me to communicate with other people in English. Now I can speak English much better, and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have helped me a lot. I have lots of English friends now.

Let's say that your mother is not happy about her boss. If she doesn't have other ways of expressing her emotions, she might come home and yell at you, scream at your dad, kick at the dog, or even say something mean to you. Here's how to handle it when an adult in your life has trouble controlling his or her anger: Don't make it worse. Angry people can have trouble thinking clearly, so try not to do or say anything to make things worse. Wait till your parent cools off, then talk to him or her in a calm tone, and try to explain how the anger is affecting you. yell 大叫,呼喊 scream 尖声喊叫 handle 处理 adult 成年人 cool off 平静下来 tone 语气 affect 影响 帮 助 父 母 父母常常因为他们生活中的烦恼而生气。我们举个例子,比如你妈妈对她的上司不满。假如她没有其他方法发泄她的情绪,她就可能回到家冲你大声嚷嚷,对你爸爸大喊大叫,踢家里的狗,或者甚至对你说一些难听的话。 当你身边的大人控制不住他们的怒火时,你应付的方法是:别让情况变得更糟糕。生气的人很难保持思维清晰,所以不要做,也不要说任何会使事情变得更糟的事或话。先等你的父母平静下来,然后再心平气和地和他们谈,并想办法说明他们的怒火是如何影响你的。 15Humour — What Is a Teenager?

Kit was always calm in times of danger. He was strong and brave. Most of the Indians liked and respected him for his honesty. For many years, Kit lived in the West.

On his way home he met a river. As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water. "Just look!"said he to himself. "That dog down there has some meat, too. If I could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!" With this thought, he made a snap at the other dog's meat. And as he did, his own meat fell into the water.

Mostly, I hate when someone tries to make someone else feel bad. I have to admit that once, when I was really angry, I actually called names. I regretted doing this afterwards, but not full heartedly because I think I was provoked in that situation. The most positive way of dealing with anger is talking about the problem. I talk to someone who listens, or I'll write my thoughts down on paper. Learning how to deal with anger as you're growing up is so important. When you're younger, you might yell, or cry when you're angry, but as you get older, you're expected to handle your emotions much better.

How do you know that the story is not good? You did not read it. Before I sent you the story, I pasted together pages 18, 19 and 20. This was a test to see whether you would read the story. When the story came back yesterday, the pages were still pasted together. Is this the way you read all the stories that are sent to you?"The editor wrote back: "Dear Madam: At breakfast when I open an egg I don't have to eat all the egg to discover that it is bad.? editor 编辑 paste 用浆糊粘 “我不必吃掉整个鸡蛋。” 曾经有位女士,她写了一篇很长的小说,并把它寄给了一位著名的编 辑。几周后小说退回来了。女士很生气,她给编辑写了封信。 “尊敬的编辑先生: 昨天你把我的小说退回来了。你怎么知道这小说不好,你根本没有读 过。在寄给你之前,我把十八、十九和二十页粘在了一起。这是要检 查你是否会读我写的小说。昨天小说退回来时,这三页还粘在一起。 难道这就是你阅读所有寄给你的作品的方式吗,” 编辑回信写道:“尊敬的女士: 早餐时我打开一只鸡蛋,我不必等到 吃完整个鸡蛋后才发现蛋是臭的。” 27Visiting Shakespeare?s Home In 1998, when I was working for an export company, I went to England. After finishing my business, which took several days, I went to Stratford, where Shakespeare was born. In Stratford, I visited several sites that are associated with Shakespeare, including the house where he was born, the church where he was buried, and the cottage where his wife's family lived. I wanted to see a play, so I asked at the theatre box office for whatever tickets were available. I got a seat for The Merchant of Venice, which is my favourite play. Afterwards, I waited at the stage door for my favourite actor, who was in the play. I got his autograph and talked to him. It is an experience that I will remember forever. export 出口 associated 有关的,有联系的 bury 埋葬 cottage 村舍 merchant 商人 autograph 亲笔签名 莎士比亚故居之旅 1998年,我在一个出口公司工作的时候,去了一趟英国。花几天时 间干完公务后,我去了斯特拉特福德,莎士比亚出生的地方。在斯特 拉特福德,我参观了几处与莎士比亚有关的场所,包括他出生时的房 子、死后埋葬的教堂以及他妻子的家人居住的村舍。 我想去看一出戏剧,所以就向剧院售票处询问哪场戏剧有票,结果买 到了《威尼斯商人》的票,这是我最喜欢的戏剧。之后,我在后台入 口处等到了剧中我最喜欢的演员。我得到了他的亲笔签名并和他交 谈。这次经历我永远不会忘记。 28 A Thrilling Ride Bill and Jane were coasting on a hill. Down the hill went the sled. Bill steered. Jane held on tightly. The coasters on the hill watched them. Past trees they whizzed. Jane yelled, "Stop the sled! Stop the sled!?but Bill could not stop it. Suddenly Jane had a feeling that she was a bird in flight. Was she dreaming? She landed in a big pile of snow. Where was Bill? He must have gone all the way down the long slide to the end of the hill. Now, Bill came in sight plodding up the hill. Jane laughed as she called to him. They were so glad to be together. The coasters cheered to see them safe.

We wanted to check if it was clean. We did many scientific tests to see if the river was healthy. Surprisingly, it was! We still, though, took any rubbish we could find out of the river. We wanted to make sure fish could live there happily. Recently, I helped the group plant flowers at our school. We're hoping the flowers will bloom this spring and make the school look beautiful. How did we pay for all the plants? We made T-shirts and sold them to our friends! We're still got some money left from selling the T-shirts. We hope to use it to buy some recycling bins for the school. surprisingly 令人惊奇地 bloom (花)开 recycling bin 回收 箱 拯 救 地 球 一天,我和小组其他人一起来到附近的一条河边。我们想检查这条河 是否干净。我们做了许多科学实验以测试这条河是否健康。令人惊奇 的是,这条河很健康~虽然我们还是从河里捞起了一些我们可以发现 的垃圾。我们想要确保鱼能在这条河里开心地生活。 最近,我和小组的其他人一起在学校里种了一些花。我们希望今年春 天这些花会开,把学校装点得更美丽。我们怎么会有买这些植物的钱 呢,我们自己做T恤衫,然后卖给我们的朋友~我们还剩余了一些卖 T恤衫得来的钱。我们希望可以用这些钱为学校购买一些废物回收 箱。 30 Two Goats on the Bridge One day a goat started to cross a little bridge. At that very minute, another goat started out from the other side of the bridge. When they saw one another, they knew that one of them would have to go back. "Go back!?cried the first goat. "Where is no room for you to pass here while I am crossing." "It is you who must go back!?cried the other goat. "You can start again after I cross over.?The first goat said as he was in the right and would not give way. "We will see!"cried the other goat, and they started to fight. In another minute, the two goats fell into the water. A man who was fishing saw the fight. He laughed as he pulled the goats out of the water. "You see,?said he. "When everyone thinks he is right, something always goes wrong!" goat 羊 give way 让步 两只山羊在桥上 有一天,一只山羊开始过一座小桥。就在同时,另一只山羊从桥的另 一头开始过桥。 当他们看到对方时,他们知道他们中的一个必须得退回去。 “回去~” 第一只山羊喊道,“我过桥的时候没有地方让你过去。” “是你必须 回去~”另一只山羊叫道。 “我过去以后你再开始过。”第一只羊说。他觉得自己是对的,所以 他不肯让路。 “我们走着瞧~”另一只山羊喊道,然后他们开始打起 来。 很快,两只羊都掉到了水里。 一个正在钓鱼的人看到了这场争斗。他笑着把山羊从水里拉了出来。 “你们看,”他说,“当每个人都觉得自己是正确的时候,就一定会出 事~” A Sunday school teacher was telling her pupils the importance of making others glad.

It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances. 现今报纸拥有极大的价值,人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种类类的 消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯,我们就能得到足够的知识来因 应我们的环境。 学生虽然每天须做功课,但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报。哪 些,他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代。总而言之,看报对学生很有益处。 Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country. I get up at six o?clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o?clock. After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o?clock. Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed. 虽然我的日常生 活十分单调,但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么,因为我打算做一个好学生,希望将来为国 家服务。 我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后,就开始复习功课,七点钟我就去上学。 放学后,我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐,之后我就开始做家庭作业,希望在睡觉前 把它做完。 Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student. However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him. 你价意被称为坏学生吗,当然不。就我所知, 每个人都打算做模范学生。 然而,做模范学生却不容易。第一,他必须尽力获得知识 (求知)。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二,他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的 人才能做大事。第三,他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好,没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。 There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points. First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life. Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress. 无疑的快乐是世界上最宝 贵的东西。没有它,人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐,你须 注意下面两点。 健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。 快 乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。 As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books. Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good. 如众所周知, 书籍教我们学习人生,真理,科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识,扩大我 们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说,它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终 是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。 读书是一好事,但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错, 我们能从好书中获得益处。然而,坏书却对我们有害无益。 One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him. While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful). When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door. 有一个星期日,我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。 当我们沿着道路行走的时候,太阳灿烂地照耀着,微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对 我们微笑着,并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲,风景实十分美丽。 当我们感觉到疲 倦的时候,我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。 It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth. How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful. 要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的,必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。 一个学生如何才能爱国呢,我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将 来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做,国家一定会富强。 The Old Cat An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young." 【译文】 老猫 一位 老妇有只猫,这只猫很老,它跑不快了,也咬不了东西,因为它年纪太大了。一天,老猫发 现一只老鼠,它跳过去抓这只老鼠,然而,它咬不住这只老鼠。因此,老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉 了,因为老猫咬不了它。 于是,老妇很生气,因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这 只猫,猫说:“不要打你的老仆人,我已经为你服务了很多年,而且还愿意为你效劳,但是, 我实在太老了,对年纪大的不要这么无情,要记 住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事 情。” A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time. 【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去,当他沿着路走时,在 路的一边他发现一箱好苹果,他说:“我不打算吃那些苹果,因为富人会给我更多的食物, 他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果,一把扔到土里去。 他继续走,来到河边, 河涨水了,因此,他到不了河对岸,他等了一会儿,然后他说:“今天我去不了富人家了, 因为我不能渡过河。” 他开始回家,那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的,他找到苹 果,很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。 不要把好东西扔掉,换个时候你会觉得它 们大有用处。 The Rain A small boy and his father were having a walk in the country when it suddenly began to rain very hard( They did not have their umbrella with them, and there was nowhere to hide from the rain, so they were soon very wet, and the small boy did not feel very happy( For a long time while they were walking home through the rain, the boy was thinking( Then at last he turned to his father and said to him,“Why does it rain, Father, It isn't very nice, is it,” “No, it isn't very nice, but it's very useful, Tom,”answered his father(“It rains to make the fruit and the vegetables grow for us, and to make the grass grow for the cows and sheep(” Tom thought about this for a few seconds, and then he said,“Then,why does it rain on the road too, Father,” 下雨 一个小男孩和他的父亲正在乡间行走,突然下起了大雨。 他们没带伞,加上 四下无处可以躲雨,所以很快他们浑身上下被淋湿了,小男孩感到很不好受。 他们在雨 中朝家走去,有好一会儿,那个男孩一直在思索着什么。后来终于他朝父亲转过脸去,问他 说:“爸爸,为什么天会下雨呢,下雨可不太好,是吧,” “是呀,下雨是不太好,可是下 雨也有很多有益的地方,汤姆。”父亲回答说。“老天爷下雨促使了为我们所食用的水果和蔬 菜的生长,同样也促使牛羊所吃的青草的生长。” 汤姆对父亲的这番话想了一会,然后说: “那么,父亲,老天爷为什么还要把雨下在路上呢,” The Crab and His Mother “My child,” said a Crab to her son, “why do you walk so awkward? If you wish to make a good appearance, you should go straight forward, and not to one side as you do so constantly.” “I do wish to make a good appearance, Mamma” said the young Crab; “and if you will show me how, I will try to walk straight forward.” “Why, this is the way, of course,” said the mother, as she started off to the right, “No, this is the way,” said she, as she made another attempt, to the left.

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February. To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 总的来说在中国最重要的节日是春节,亦称中国新年。对 中国人民来说它的重要性就如方圣诞节对于西方人民。这个一年一次的节日日期取决于阴历 而不是格里历,因此假日的时间变化从一月下旬到上旬2月。对普通的中国人,节日总是在 除夕夜开始,结束于阴历的第一个月的第五天。 但1第一个月的15号,通常称灯会,在国 家的大部分地区意味春节的正式结尾。 The Wolf and the Crane狼与鹭鸶 A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone.
