“Peter has just come back from the shops,”said Mrs. James. “He wanted to buy some new football boots, but he wasn’t able to find any that were right for him.”

“Were they all the same?”I asked.

“He said they showed him different pairs but he didn’t like any of them.”

“What is Peter going to do about his boots, then?”I asked.

“Well, the shop told him to come back the next week. It’s out a big problem because he doesn’t need to have them before the new school term. But he always begins to get his

things ready early. For example, he has never been late for school.” “My daughter is different,”I said, “I have to throw her out when it’s time for

school.”

“彼得刚刚从商店回来，”詹姆斯太太说。“他想买新的足球鞋，但他没能找到适合他的。”

“球鞋款式都一样吗？”我问道。

“嗯，店员告诉他下周再来。这不是个大问题，因为在新学年开始之前，他还不需要球鞋。

但他总是提前做准备工作。比如，他从不迟到。”

“我的女儿就不同了，”我说，“每到上学时间我都不得不‘扔’她出去。” P37 (52)

The world is filled with many interesting sounds. Some are unpleasant to our ears while others are very pleasant to hear. In a single day you probably hear hundreds of different sounds. All sounds are different. Some may be loud. Some are high; others are

low. Some sounds are useful.

Without sound we cannot talk or listen to one another. The ringing of the alarm clock wakes people up. The hooting of a car warns people of danger.

Some sounds are harmful. When planes fly low over the land, the very loud sounds

can damage the houses. Very loud sounds can even make people deaf. We know sound travel about one kilometer in three seconds. In a thunder storm

you see the lightning first and then hear the thunder. This is because light travels much

faster than sound.

Next time you see lightning; count the number of seconds before you hear the

thunder. Divide this number of seconds before you hear thunder. Divide this number by 3.

This will tell you how many kilometers away the thunder storm is.

这个世界充满了许多有趣的声音。对于我们的耳朵而言，有些是不舒适的，有些则是悦耳动听的。在一天之内你可能听到数以百计的不同声音。所有的声音是不同的。有些可能是响亮

的。有些高的，有些低的。有些声音是有用的。

没有声音，我们彼此不能听说。闹钟铃声唤醒人们。汽车的啼声警示处于危险状况的人们。 有些声音是有害的。当飞机在陆地上方低空飞行，巨大的声音可能会损坏房屋。巨大的声

音，甚至可以使人耳聋。

我们知道， 3秒钟里声音传播约1公里。在雷雨天你先看到闪电，然后再听到雷声。这是

因为光的速度比声音的速度传播得快的多。

下次看到闪电，在听到雷声之前，你计算闪电秒数。均分听到雷声之前的秒数，即除以3。

这会告诉你多少公里外有雷雨风暴。

Tommy has a little dog. Her name is Goldier. She is pretty and interesting. Tommy

loves her very much.

The other day, Goldier was out walking with Tommy. She cut her paw on a bit of glass. When they arrived home, Tommy’s mother thought that the cut was deep. She asked Tommy to take Goldier to the vet. The vet was very kind, and he gave her an

injection. Then he stitched up the cut and put on a bandage.

Goldier looks ever so funny as she walks on three legs, holding her paw as if she has

been to war!

汤米有一只小狗。它名叫Goldier。它可爱而有趣。汤米很喜欢它。

几天前，Goldier跟着汤米外出散步。它的爪子踩到了碎玻璃。当他们回到家里，汤米的母亲认为它的伤口深。她让汤米带Goldier去兽医那儿检查。兽医非常和气，他给Goldier打了

针，然后缝合伤口并缠上绷带。

Goldier只用三条腿走路，看上去太好笑了，它抬起伤爪子，好像是刚刚去过战场！

P38 (54)

Long ago people used bells more than they do today. The postman used to ring a

hand when he delivered the letters. Fire engines had bells instead of sirens. People who

sold things came past houses, ringing a bell and shouting what was for sale. Every village had its church bell to let people know it was time to go to church. At night, this bell was rung so that traveler would find the village in the dark. In most counties, bells were hung around the necks of animals. The bells helped owners to find lost cows or goats. Today, in India, animals still wear bells. Now bells are used less and less. Buzzers, sirens and horns have taken their place. Now people try to keep the old bells in schools and churches so they will not lose their

beautiful sounds forever.

从前人们使用铃声比现在使用得更广泛。邮递员在投递信件的时候使用手打铃。消防车使用警铃，而不是警报器。卖东西的人来到老式住宅区，摇响铃声，高喊吆呼卖东西。 每个村庄里使用各自的教堂钟声告知人们去教堂的时间。晚上，教堂钟声响起，能让旅行

者在黑暗中找到村庄。

在大多数国家，响铃挂在动物的脖子上。响铃帮助业主寻找丢失的牛或山羊。今天，在印

度，动物仍然挂着响铃。

现在钟声使用得越来越少。蜂鸣器，警报器及喇叭已占有一席之地，人们尽量在学校和教

堂使用老式钟，那些美丽的钟声将永远不会消失。

P39 (55)

A good breakfast in important. We can easily underground it. We have not eaten anything for about twelve hours by breakfast time. Our bodies need food for morning

activities.

One good breakfast should be rice or bread, an egg, milk and fruit. On cold morning

a cup of hot drink is necessary.

We must get up early to have plenty of time to eat breakfast. A good breakfast helps us to be more friendly and also to work better and play more happily. 一份营养早餐是重要的。我们可以很容易理解。到早餐时间之前我们约12个小时没有吃任

何东西了。我们的身体需要补充食物以应对整个上午的活动。

一份营养早餐应该包括大米，面包，鸡蛋，牛奶和水果。在寒冷的早晨，一杯热饮品是必

要的。

我们必须早起以便有充足的时间吃早餐。一份营养早餐有助于我们更加友善，也有助于我

们将工作做得更好，玩得更快乐。

In Britain every town has a public library and there are branch libraries in many

villages. Anyone may borrow books, and it costs nothing to borrow them. In some places you may borrow as many books as you want, but in others you are limited to a certain number of books for several weeks so that you can have enough time to finish all the

books you’ve borrowed.

The latest novels are always in great need, and non-fiction books, such as books on

history, science and gardening, are well-loved, too.

If the books you need are out, you may ask for them to be kept for you when they are returned, and if you pay the cost of sending a postcard, the librarian will let you know

when the books are back and are ready for you.

Most public libraries also have a reading-room there are tables and desks at which you can sit and read the daily newspapers and all the other important periodicals (the weeklies, the monthlies and the quarterlies). In the reference library there are

encyclopedias, dictionaries, books of maps and other useful books. But you can only use

these books there. You cannot take them out.

在英国，每个乡镇都有公共图书馆，很多乡村有分馆。任何人都可以借阅图书且无需费用。在一些地方，你想借多少本书籍就可以借多少本，但在别处，你几个星期内借阅一定数量的图

书是受限制的，这样你有足够的时间来完成你借的所有书籍。

最新小说总有很强的借阅需求，非小说类书籍，如历史，科学和园艺书籍，也深受喜爱。 如果你需要借阅的书籍已借出了，你可以要求他们当该书归还时为你保留，如果你付费发

送明信片，图书管理员将告知你书籍什么时候归还的，并为你备妥。

大多数公共图书馆都有一个阅读室，那里有[tables and ？desks]桌子和椅子，你可以坐下来阅读报纸和所有其他重要期刊（周刊，月刊和季刊）。在图书馆的参考室里，有百科全书，

字典，地图册和其他有用的书籍。但你只可以在那里使用这些书籍。你不能外借。

Every morning Mike goes to work by train. As he has a long trip, he always buys a

newspaper. It helps to make the time pass more quickly.

One Tuesday morning, he turned to the sports page. He wanted to read the report about an important football match. The report was so interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. He didn’t know it until he saw the sea. He got off at the next station, and had to wait a long time for a train to go back. Of course, he got to the office very

late. His boss was very angry.

每天早晨，Mike坐火车去上班。由于路程漫长，他总是买张报纸。这有助于快速消磨时间。 一个星期二的早上，他翻到了体育版。他想阅读有关一场重要的足球比赛的报道。该报道非常有趣，他到站忘记下车了。直到看到了大海，他才知道过站了。他在下一站下了车，不得

不等待很长时间坐车返回。当然，他很晚才到办公室。他的老板非常生气。

Molly was the only little girl on her street, but when she was eight years old,

another girl came to live in the house opposite hers. The new girl was eight years old too, and her name was Joan. Joan had two brothers. She didn't go to the same school as Molly,

but they soon began to play together after school.

One day Joan came home, had her milk and cookies, and then went to Molly’s house. She said to her friend, “Hi Molly, will you come to my house to play? I’ve got a nice new game. ”Molly answered, “I’ve sorry, Joan, but my mother won’t let me play with you today, because your brother George has a bad cold, and she doesn't want me to get it, too.”

“Oh, that’s all right, Molly,” Joan answered quickly. “George isn’t really my brother.

He’s my step-brother.” [step-brother继父或者继母的儿子]

Molly是她街区里唯一的小女孩，但是当她8岁时，另一名女孩搬来了，就住在她家对面。新来的女孩也是8岁，她的名字叫Joan。Joan有两个兄弟。她没有在Molly的同一所学校上学，

但在放学后，他们很快就开始一起玩了。

有一天，Joan回到家里，吃完牛奶和饼干，然后前往Molly的家。她对她的朋友说，“嗨，Molly，你来我家玩吗？我有一个好玩的新游戏。” Molly回答，“对不起，Joan，今天我的母

亲不让我跟你玩了，因为你的兄弟George得了重感冒，她不想让我也得重感冒。” “哦，没事，Molly，” Joan很快回答。 “George不是我的嫡亲兄弟。他是我的非亲兄

弟。” P44（59）

“Daddy, can I learn to play the violin?” young Sarah asked her father. She was

always asking for things and her father was not pleased. “You cost me a lot of money, Sarah,” he said. “First you wanted to learn horse riding, then dancing, then swimming. Now it’s violin.” “I’ll play it every day, Daddy,” Sarah said. “I’ll try very hard.” “All right,” her father said. “This is what I’ll pay for you to have lessons for six weeks. At the end of six weeks you must play something for me. If you play well, you can have more lessons. If you

play badly, I will stop the lessons.” “OK, Daddy,” Sarah said. “This is fair.” He soon found a good violin teacher and Sarah began her lessons. The teacher was

very expensive, but her father kept his promise.

Six weeks passed quickly. The time came for Sarah to play for her father. She

went to the living room and said, “I’m ready to play for you, Daddy.” “Fine, Sarah,” her father said. “Begin.” She began to play. She played very badly. She made a terrible noise. Her father had one of his friends with him, and his friend put his hands over his ears.

When Sarah finished, her father said, “Well done, Sarah. You can have more

lessons.” Sarah ran happily out of the room. Her father’s friend turned to him. “You’ve spent a lot of money, but she still plays very badly,” he said. “Well, that’s true,” her father said. “But since she started learning the violin I’ve been able to buy five flats in

this building very cheaply. In another six weeks I’ll own the whole building!” “爸爸，我可以学习拉小提琴吗？”小Sarah问她的父亲。她总是要这要那的，她的父亲很不高兴。 “Sarah，你让我花费很多钱了，”他说。“一开始，你想学骑马，然后想学跳舞，然后想学游泳。现在又想学小提琴。”“爸爸，我会每天都练习的，”Sarah说。“我会尽最大的努力。”“好吧，”她的父亲说。“我将为你支付6周课程的意思是：到6周末，你必须拉给我听听。如果你拉得好，你可以上后面的课程。如果你拉得不好，我将停止后面的课程。”

“行，爸爸，”Sarah说。“这是公平的。”

他很快找到了很好的小提琴教师，Sarah就开始了她的课程。学费很昂贵，但她的父亲信守

自己的承诺。

六个星期很快就过去了。Sarah向她父亲汇报的时间来到了。她走到客厅，说：“爸爸，我准备好了。”“好吧，Sarah，”她的父亲说。“开始吧。”她开始拉琴。她拉得非常糟糕。她

拉出了一种极难听的声响。她父亲的一个朋友也在，他的朋友把双手捂着耳朵。 当Sarah拉完后，她的父亲说：“干得好，Sarah。你可以上后面的课程。”Sarah高兴地跑出了房间。她父亲的朋友转过来，面对他说：“你花了那么多钱，她还是拉得那么糟糕，”“嗯，就是这样子，”她的父亲说。“但自从她开始学习小提琴，我已经在这座大楼里非常便

宜地购买了5个单位。再过6个星期，我将拥有整座大楼！”

A detective is a policeman but doesn’t wear a uniform. He works in his ordinary

clothes. If he wears a uniform, robbers will know that he is a policeman. Then they will

avoid him.

The classroom was very quiet. Twenty-four girls were having a history lesson. They had books open in front of them on their desks, and their teacher was talking to them.

The school was in Poland. The time was 1877. At that time much of Poland was a

part of Russia. Children could not learn the history of their own country in school or even

use their own language. But the teacher was still teaching Polish history in Polish.

Suddenly the bell rang. Two long rings, two short rings. The girls knew what that

meant. Quick hands closed all the Polish books. Four girls ran up and down the classroom and picked them up, and then they ran out through a door with the books. The girls quickly took some sewing from their desks and the teacher got out a Russian book. Just then a Russian official came in, and asked the teacher, “What are you reading to the class?” the teacher said, “Russian stories.” “Now,” he said, “I’d like to ask one of you some questions.” “Manya, please stand up,” the teacher ordered quietly. A little girl stood up. After Manya answered all his questions, the Russian official walked out of the classroom.

The little girl Manya became Madame Curie, the great woman scientist. 教室里非常安静。 24个女孩正在上历史课。在他们面前的课桌上他们打开着书，他们的老

Mr. Mill arrived at London Airport at the end of a three week holiday in France. He was a man with a beard. Since it was hot there, he took off the beard. But his passport

photo showed him with his beard.

An office looked at the photo and him for a moment, and said, “Will you excuse me? Please sit dawn. I shan’t keep you long.” with this, he walked away, showed the photo to a second officer and said, “Do you know that face?” the second officer looked at the passport and asked where Mr. Mill had come from. When he heard that Mr. Mill had just arrived back from Pairs, the second officer smiled and said, “An Englishman with a beard

stole a painting in Pairs on Friday. And that man looks just like the kind of man…”

Suddenly, it came to the first officer who Mr. Mill was. He returned to him and asked, “Did you teach at the No.2 Middle School?” when Mr. Mill answered in surprise that he did, the first officer smiled and said, “I though so. I’m Jack Smith. You taught

me French. You haven’t changed a bit.”

看起来就像那种人??”

突然，第一个工作人员走向Mill先生。他回到他身旁，问：“你在第二中学教书吗？”就在Mill先生惊讶地回答他是的时侯，第一个工作人员微笑着说，“我想是这样。我是Jack Smith。

A taxi hit a truck. A policeman spoke to the taxi driver and to the truck driver. He

also spoke to Tom. He was a witness.

This is what they said.

Truck driver: I was driving from the airport toward Newton. A car crossed the road, so I slowed down. I did not stop. A taxi hit the back of the truck. Nobody was

seriously injured but both cars were damaged.

Car driver: I was driving behind a truck several miles from Newton. The truck

stopped suddenly. The driver did not give me a warning. I was driving very slowly. I could not pass the truck because there were two cars coming near from Newton. My taxi hit

the truck, and some glass cut my left hand.

Tom: I was watching the traffic about a mile from the airport. A truck was going

to Newton. It was not going very quickly. There was a taxi about two hundred feet behind the truck. It was going fast. When the truck slowed down, the taxi hit it. The taxi driver was not looking at the truck. He was looking out of the window at something. My friend

saw the accident, too.

Later, Tom’s friend spoke to the policeman and agreed with Tom.

people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape-recorder. You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair

next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Every one goes in the same direction, of course. They should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out.

Then, before the music stops again, one more player will be out.

At last, there will be two players and one chair! The one who sits on the chair when

the music when the music stops is the winner.

你知道如何玩耍名叫“音乐椅”的游戏吗？这是很容易玩的，大多数人游戏及小部分人播放音乐。如果有人会弹奏，可以使用一架钢琴或任何其他乐器。你也可以使用一个录音机。你

甚至可以使用收音机。

把椅子排成一排。椅子需背对背成双摆放。一个更好的办法是把椅子面对面一把挨一把地

摆放成一行。

这个游戏是容易玩的。当音乐开始，游戏者轮着椅子转圈。每个人按同一个方向走，当然，他们应该跟着音乐走。如果音乐节奏快，他们应该快走。如果音乐节奏慢，他们应该慢慢走。

播放音乐的人不可以看到游戏中的人。当音乐停止时，游戏者设法坐在椅子上。如果有人不能找到椅子坐下，他就出局了。然后，在音乐停止之前，会有更多的游戏者出局。 最后，将有两名游戏者，一把椅子！当音乐停止时，一个坐到椅子上的人就是赢家。

Chinese children are very obedient. In China, children are taught to obey and

respect their parents, teachers and elders. But children is Western counties do not obey

every time.

Most parents and teachers in the West expect some bad behavior in children. They

expect to see it in teenagers as they are becoming adults.

In China students stand respectfully when they answer questions from the

teacher. In the West they don’t stand and often several answer the teacher’s questions at the same time. This sometimes makes the classroom noisy and hard to control. But students in these classrooms can also have good talks about interesting ideas. Not all the

ideas come from the teacher.

Is it good to be an obedient child at all times? Do you sometimes feel that your parents are being unfair when they ask you to do something? Perhaps the answer is somewhere between the two days-the Western way and the Chinese way. If you disagree sometimes, it might be a good way to speak out your ideas politely. That was your parents or teachers can listen and perhaps learn to see your point of view. So you can disagree

sometimes as long as you do so politely and with respect.

中国孩子很听话。在中国，儿童被教导要服从和尊重他们的父母，老师和长辈。但是西方

国家的儿童不都是这样。

在西方大多数家长和老师期望发现孩子们的一些不良行为，他们希望在青少年阶段发现这

些，因为孩子们正在成长为成年人。

在中国，当老师提问时，学生需恭敬地站着回答。在西方，学生不必站着，往往会在同时有几个人回答老师的提问。有时候这样会使课堂嘈杂和难以控制。但是，在这些教室里的学生

可以对感兴趣的想法作活跃的讨论。并非所有的观点都来自于老师。

在任何时候都听话的孩子是一个好孩子吗？当你父母要求你做某事，有时候你会感觉到他们的要求不太公平吗？也许答案是介于上述两种，中国式和西方式。如果有时候你不同意，有礼貌地说出你的想法可能是一个好的方式。这样，你的父母或老师听过后，也许能采纳你的观

点。因此，只要你这样，有礼貌地和尊重地行事，有时候你可以持不同意见。

Jack went to school to study history. But when he finished his first year, he didn’t

pass the exam and the teacher said to him, “You have to leave school.”

When the boy’s father heard the news, he was worried. He came to the school to see the teacher. He found the teacher in the office and asked the teacher to let Jack study

in school the next year.

“He is a good boy. He always does well in history.” said Jack’s father, “He will do

better next year and pass the exam.”

“No, no, that is not right!” answered the teacher, “Last month I asked him, 'When did

Napoleon die?’ and he didn’t know.”

“Please sir, give him another chance,” said Jack’s father, “You know we don’t have any newspapers in our house, so nobody on our family knew that Napoleon was ill.” 杰克去学校学习历史。但是，当他学完了第一年，他没有通过考试，老师对他说：“你必

须退学。”

当男孩的父亲听到这个消息，他担心起来。他来到学校见老师。他在办公室里见到了老师，

并请求老师让杰克明年能在学校学习。

“他是一个好孩子。他学历史一直很认真。”杰克的父亲说，“明年他会更努力，并通过

考试。“

“不，不，不是这样！”老师回答说：“上个月，我问他，'拿破仑什么时候死的？'，而他

不知道。”

“对不起，老师，再给他一次机会吧，”杰克的父亲说，“要知道在我们家里没有任何报

纸，所以我们家没有人知道拿破仑病了。”

A middle school organized a “No TV Week” programme. All the teachers, parents

and students worked together for this programme and most of them found it to be a very good one. The headmaster said, “The idea was not to stop watching TV completely but for the students just to find how much time they watch TV and try to use this time for other

things.”

What did the students say about this “No TV Week”? One boy said, “I can’t believe I haven’t watched TV for a week, but it’s been fun doing it. ”A girl student said, “I’m going to give up all TV programme except for 'Our Animal World’ and other language-teaching

programme. I’m really pleased that I have more time to do things like walking and thinking. I enjoy this 'No TV Week’ very much……”But not all the students thought it was good. Here one student said something different, “I don’t like 'No TV Week’ because I

like watching TV. I have lots of favourite programmes and I don’t want to miss them. But

we have to do it.”

一所中学组织了一次“无电视周”活动。所有的老师，家长和学生一起参与其中，大部分参与者发现这是一个非常好的活动。校长说：“这个想法不是完全禁止学生观看电视，而是为

了调查他们多少时间用于看电视，并尝试使用这些时间做其他事情。”

有关这个“无电视周”学生们说了些什么呢？一个男生说：“真不敢相信我一个星期没有看过电视，但我一直乐在其中。”一个女生说：“除了'我们的动物世界'和其他语言教学节目，我将放弃所有的电视节目。我真的很高兴，我有更多的时间做其它事情，比如散步和思考。我非常喜欢这个'无电视周'... ... ”但是，并非所有的学生都认为这是好的。这里有位学生说了一些不同的看法，“我不喜欢'无电视周'，因为我喜欢看电视。我有很多十分喜爱的节目，我不想

错过它们。但是，我们不得不这样做。”

When you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new word.

What’s the best way to know it?

You may look it up in the English-Chinese Dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and also how to use this word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find

it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?

First, all the English words are arranged in the alphabetical order. In the

dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, then B, C, D, E… That means if there are two words “desert” and “pull”, “desert” will be certainly before “pull”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth…For example, “pardon” is before “plough”,

“judge” before “just”, etc.

Do you understand how to look up a word in a dictionary?

The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you’ll use it as often as possible in

your English learning.

当你在看英文读物时。你可能会经常碰到生词。认生词的最佳方法是什么呢？ 你可以查英汉词典。词典会告诉你这个词的内容：语音，一部分引语，中文意义，以及如何使用这个词。但是你如何在成千上万的英语单词中查找这个词呢？如何快速在词典中找到它

呢？

首先，所有的英文单词按字母顺序排列。在词典中，您可以先看到以字母A开头的单词，然后是B, C, D, E...这意味着，如果有两个单词“desert”和“pull”，“desert”将肯定在“pull”之前，如果有两个单词都以相同的字母开头，你可以看第二个字母。依此类推，看第三个，

看第四个......例如，“pardon”在“plough”之前，“judge”在“just”之前。

你理解怎样查词典了吗？

词典将是你的好朋友，我希望你在英语学习中尽量经常翻翻词典。

A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day. You may not pass an exam if you don’t work hard for most time and then work hard only a few days before the exam.

If you are taking an English exam, do not only learn rules of grammar. Try to read

stories in English and speak English whenever you can.

Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper. Try to

understand the exact meaning of each question before you pick up your pen to write. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answer. Correct the mistakes if

there are any and make sure that you have not missed anything out. 一个通过考试的好方法是每天认真学习。如果你大部分时间不认真学习，只在考试前几天

突击，你不大可能通过考试的。

如果你正面临英语考试，不是仅仅只去复习语法规则。尝试阅读英文故事，只要你能就朗读出来。 在你考试开头时，仔细阅读试卷上的问题。在你动笔答题之前，尝试了解每个问题确切含义。当你考试结束时，复查你的答案，如果有错误就纠正，并确认你没有遗漏答题。

All students need to have good study habits. When you have good study habits, you

learn things quickly. You also remember them easily.

Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place, because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, like bedroom. A quiet place will help you only

to think about one thing.

When you study, do not think about other things at the same time. Only think

about your homework. If you do this, you will do your homework more quickly, and you will

make fewer mistakes.

Good study habits are very important. If you do not have them, try to learn them.

If yours are already good, try to make them better.

所有学生应该养成良好的学习习惯。当你养成了良好的学习习惯，你学习新事物会很快，

还很容易记忆。

你喜欢在客厅里学习吗？这不是一个合适的地方，因为那地方太吵杂了。你需要一个安静

的地方学习，比如卧室。一个安静的地方会帮助你只去想一件事。

当你学习时，在同一时间不要考虑其他的事情。只去关注你的功课。如果你这样做，你做功课会更快，也会少犯错误。良好的学习习惯是非常重要的。如果你没有，尽量培养起来。如

果你已经很好了，尽量做得更好。

There should be no weekend homework for us. Five days given to school are enough for the modern students, who have many other interests. With homework for Sunday, when can we find time to help around the house, join in a football or basketball game or a good film, or just rest? Because of all these other activities, weekend homework in usually not done until Sunday night. It is often done so poorly that on Monday teachers scold the whole class of students who have no idea of what the learned lessons are about. Without homework for the weekends, students could go to school on Monday well rested

and willing to study. Teachers, don’t you agree with us?

对我们而言应该没有周末的家庭作业。现在的学生5天时间在学校已足够，学生们还有很多其他兴趣。如果有星期日功课，我们什么时候可以有时间去帮着做家务，去参加一个足球比赛或一个篮球比赛或去看一场好电影，或者就去休息呢？由于所有这些其他活动，周末功课通常直到周日晚上才完成。这样往往是草草了事的，以至于星期一老师责骂全班学生对所学的东西一点也不懂。如果没有周末功课，学生们星期一上学能精神饱满和更有求知欲。老师，你是

Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meanings. First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order-a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor”-p, o, o, r-comes before “poverty”-p, o, v, e, r, t, y-and the word “poverty” comes before the word “power”-p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.

The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you how a word in pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International

Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.

The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meanings of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, good dictionary will tell you all of the word’s meanings. For example, in English the common

word “get” has over 20 different meanings.

大多数字典会告诉你有关语言的一系列内容。有三个重要的方面。这三个方面是拼写，发

音和含义。

首先，字典会告诉你一个单词的拼写。如果你不能确定一个单词的拼写，你可以尝试在词典中查到正确的拼写。单词是按字母顺序a, b, c等排列的。例如，在字典页面上，单词 “poor” -p, o, o, r列在单词“poverty”-p, o, v, e, r, t, y之前，单词“poverty”列在单词“power”

-p, o, w, e, r之前。单词一定是按字母顺序排列的。

第二点，字典会告诉你发音。大多数字典注明语音或声音字母。语音拼写会告诉你单词如

何去发音。还有几个不同的语音字母。许多字典使用国际音标显示发音。 第三点，字典会告诉你单词的含义。你可以查找一个单词，并找出它的意思。许多单词有多个意义，高阶的字典会告诉你这个词的全部含义。例如，普通单词“get”在英语里拥有超过

20种不同的含义。

Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don’t understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them? It may he

difficult, but learning by listening is necessary. It can be done.

As we know, different people have different pronunciations of the same word.

Standard pronunciation is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese dialects. Standard Chinese pronunciation can help

people from different places understand each other easily.

It is the same with English. If your pronunciation is not standard, it is as hard for

other people to understand you as it is for you to understand them. If you want to learn how to listen to English, the following ways are helpful. Get some good books with tapes. Do the exercises, from the simple to the

difficult, step by step.

You can also watch English-language films, listen to English-language radio and TV

programmers.

Try to listen every day, even if only for a few minutes. At first you may

understand few words. Don’t give up. Just listen.

Remember to read and speak English every day. It will help you to listen better. Everyday, spend an hour reading English. Finally you will notice that you’re making

progress.

Talk to English-speaking foreigners as often as possible. Foreigners will speak

more slowly with you, use simple words, and use body language to help you understand them. Don’t be afraid to talk to them. They won’t mind because they may have more

trouble making themselves understood in Chinese.

很多人都说英语听说太难了。但是，如果你不明白别人说什么，你怎么能与他们交谈呢？

这可能是困难的，但是通过听来学习是必要的。这是可以做到。

我们知道，不同的人对同一个词有不同的发音。标准的发音对英语听说而言一样是重要的。在中国，来自某一地区的人可能因为不同的中国方言而不明白来自另一地区的人在说什么。标

准的中文发音可以帮助来自不同地区的人很容易相互理解。

这一点是与英国相同的。如果你的发音不标准，就很难让他人理解你，同样很难让你了解

他们。

如果您想学习如何听英语，以下方法是有帮助的。 获取几本带有磁带的好教材。做练习，从易到难，一步一步来。 你也可以看英语电影，收听英语广播和收看英语电视节目。

尝试每天听，哪怕只是仅仅几分钟。起初你可能只明白几句话。不要放弃。继续听下去。 请记住每天说英语，读英语。这将帮助你提高听力。每天花一个小时读英语。最后你会感

觉到自己正在进步。

尽可能经常与以英语为母语的老外对话。老外会和你说得很慢，用简单的话，用身体语言来帮助你理解。不要怕与他们交谈。他们不会介意的，因为他们若用中文理解可能会有更多的

麻烦。

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their

friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and them they can only go to their friends for advice.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friends or a circle of friends.

Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up,

because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some

parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of

“choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Who chooses you friends?

Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

Your answers are welcome.

许多青少年觉得，在他们生活中最重要的人是他们的朋友。他们认为，他们的家庭成员，特别是他们的父母，不如他们的朋友们那样理解他们。在大家庭中，兄弟姐妹互相争吵的事频

繁发生，而他们只有去他们的朋友那里倾诉。

对青少年而言，有一个好朋友或一个朋友圈，是很重要的。即使他们不在一起的时候，他们之间往往花很多时间在电话上交谈。在儿童的成长过程中，这种沟通是非常重要的，因为朋

友们可以谈的事，很难与他们的家庭成员谈。

不过，家长们往往试图为孩子选择他们的朋友。有些家长甚至阻止孩子与他们的好朋友见

面。“选择”的问题是一个有趣的问题。你有没有思考过下列问题？

谁选择你的朋友？

你选择过朋友或你的朋友选择过你吗？ 你有没有一个你的父母不喜欢的好朋友吗？

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say, ”When anything happens, believe in yourself.” When I was 14, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed

at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a wonderful idea! It meant I had to speak in front of all the teachers and students of my school.

“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win.” Then, Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”, I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could not believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students and those classmates who once looked down upon me, now all said “Congratulations!” to me. My

mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I will find myself.

This is true not only for a person but also for a country. 生活是不容易的，所以我想说，“无论发生什么事，相信自己。”

当我14岁时，我与任何人说话都很紧张。我的同学经常嘲笑我。我除了伤心还是伤心。后来，发生了一些事。它改变了我的生活。这是一个英语演讲比赛。妈妈鼓励我去参加。多么

美妙的主意！这意味着我不得不在我校所有的老师和学生面前开口说话。 “来吧，孩子。相信自己。您肯定会赢。”于是，我和母亲讨论了很多不同的主题。最

后我选择的题目是“相信自己”，我尽全力记住所有的演讲内容，操练了100次以上。在伟大母爱的支持下，我在比赛中表现出色。当消息传来，我简直不敢相信自己的耳朵，我赢得了第一名。我听到了来自老师和同学，包括那些曾经看低我的同学的欢呼声，现在所有人对我说：

“祝贺！”。我母亲拥抱着我，热泪盈眶。

从那时起，对我而言一切都改变了。当我做任何事，我都有自信心。这是真的，不仅适

用于个人，也是适用于一个国家。

I am not a good-looking boy and I’m not good at studying, either. Some people

to leave home, nobody would care. How can I stop feeling like this?

Peter

Dear Peter,

Without knowing more about you, it is hard for me to give you some good advice. But first, I am sure that you are wrong that nobody would care if you left home.

What about your parents? And other family members? It seems that you are very sad. You’d better go to see a doctor or talk to your parents. They will be able to help you.

Secondly, I’m sure there’s someone in your class who feels lonely, too. You never

know how other people feel inside. Try to make friends with them.

Or you may join a club to meet new people and to keep yourself busy. You need to

find happiness in yourself. Write a list of all the good things about yourself, learn to like

yourself, and them others will see your confidence and like you, too.

亲爱的编辑：

我是一个不帅的男孩，我也不善长于学习。有些人甚至不愿意和我说话。所以，我常常感到孤独。有时候我想，如果我离家出走，没有人会觉察到。我如何才能摆脱这种感觉呢？

彼得

亲爱的彼得，

由于对你了解不多，我很难给你一些好的建议。

但首先，我相信你有错误，那就是如果你离家出走没有人会觉察。你的父母会怎么样？其他家庭成员呢？看来你很可悲。你最好去看医生或者与你的父母谈一谈。他们一定能帮你。

第二，我敢肯定你的班上也有感到孤独的。你永远不了解其他人内心的感受。尝试跟他

们交朋友。

或者你可以加入一个俱乐部，结识新朋友，或者你可以使自己忙忙碌碌的。你需要自己去找寻快乐。写一份关于自己的所有喜好的列表，学会喜欢自己，别人将看到你的自信状态，

也将喜欢你。

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body

becomes hot, and there are pains (疼痛) all over your body. You don’t want to work; you

stay in bed, feeling very sad. What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌).

Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your

eyes, but you can see them with a microscope (显微镜). They are very, very small and

there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the

microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty

water.

Germs aren’t found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your

finger, and if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in

it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain

everywhere.

你生过病吗？当你生病时，你一定会因为你的身体在发热而不舒服，同时周身疼痛。你

是什么导致我们生病的？是病菌。

细菌无处不在。它们非常小的，你用肉眼看不到，但你可以使用显微镜找到它们。它们

非常，非常小，在一个极小的东西上，可能有上百个。

细菌总是在脏水里发现。当我们在显微镜下观察脏水，我们会看到它们。所以，你的父

母不允许你喝脏水。

细菌不仅仅在水里发现，在空气中，在灰尘里也被发现。如果你划破了手指，如果一些来自地面的灰尘进入伤口，一些细菌将会进入你的手指。你的手指将变得又红又肿，你将感到

那里很痛。有时候，细菌会进入你的全身，你会感到疼痛无处不在。

During the day we work and play, at night we sleep. Our body rests while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. Our body grows most while we are

asleep. Children who are tired usually need more sleep. We can get at our lessons better, after we have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our body needs plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh air, we will feel tired when we wake up. While in bed we must not cover our heads. Our lungs(肺) need to get enough fresh air. If we open our window at night, we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who want to be

strong must get plenty of fresh air.

白天我们工作和娱乐，晚上我们睡觉。我们在睡觉的同时，我们的肌体在休整。到了早晨，我们又准备去工作和娱乐了。肌体主要在我们睡眠状态下生长。疲倦的孩子通常需要更多的睡眠。在我们有了充足的休息之后，我们能提高学习效率。八，九岁的男孩和女孩们需要每天晚上睡10小时。我们睡觉时，肌体需要大量的空气。如果我们没有得到足够的新鲜空气，醒来时，我们会感到疲倦。在床上我们不能蒙住头睡。我们的肺需要得到足够的新鲜空气。如果我们在夜间开着窗户，我们可以得到大量新鲜空气。凉爽的空气比温热的空气有益。想要健康

Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules

you should follow.

First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a

favourite food, but you had better ear something different. If you eat different foods,

you will probably get more nutrients your body needs.

Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you’re really thirsty, cold water is the No.1 choice. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium your body

needs to grow strong bones.

Third, listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels and when you stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel

comfortable and make you fat.

Fourth, limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDs and videos,

or using computers. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and

swimming. You can’t watch TV for more than two hours a day.

Fifth, be active. One thing you’d like to do as a kid i to find out which activity you

like best. Find ways to be active every day. Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.

嗨，亲爱的男孩和女孩！你知道怎样做一个健康的孩子吗？下面是一些你应该遵循的规

则。

第一，要吃不同的食物，特别是蔬菜和水果。你可能有自己很喜爱的食物，但是你最好吃不同的食物。如果你吃不同的食物，你可能会得到更多你身体所需的营养。 其次，要尽可能地常喝的牛奶和水。当你真的渴了，凉水是第一选择。牛奶是一种有益

的饮料，可以给你提供更多肌体所需的钙质促进骨骼强健生长。

第三，要听从你的身体。当你吃饭时，请注意你的身体感觉如何，请注意你的胃感到饱

适的时候。吃得太多会让你感到不舒服，并且会使你发胖。

第四，要限制屏幕时间。屏幕时间是指你看电视，DVD和视频，或使用电脑的时候。最好是进行体锻活动，例如打篮球，骑自行车和游泳。你每天看电视不可以超过两小时。 第五，要积极向上。有一件事情希望你做一做，就是找到你作为一个孩子最喜欢的活动。

要想办法每天充满活力。

遵循这些规则，你可以成为一个健康的孩子。

Every year, over40，000 secondary students in Britain run a business. “Each

business runs for one year,” said Ben, one of the group of students visiting Shanghai. “When we started our business, we borrowed money from parents and friends. At the end of the year, these people will receive some of the profits.” I asked Ben whether running a business was difficult. He said that it was no problem. He said that they always received a

lot of advice from teachers and business people.

Another member of the group, Regina, told me the four questions they always

asked themselves. The questions are:

1. What do people want to buy? 2. Where is a good place to sell our product? 3. How is our product better than other products?

4. How much is our product?

I was also very much interested in how the group was organized. Regina said that

there were usually about five to seven students in each business and among them are one manager and one accountant. I asked them who was the manager. “I am, of course,” said Regina. “It was my idea to produce picture books,” she said. “Other groups in our school

sell things like T-shirts, videos and computer games,” said Ben.

“How much money do the businesses usually make?” I asked. “Some businesses

make $20,000-$30,000, but most groups make a small profit of about $1,000-3,000,” said Regina. I asked them what they did with the profits. “We can do what we like with the profits.” However, Regina told me that it was important not to waste the money. She

always told the other groups to give the money to charity.

Most students enjoy running a business and all the students said that they had

learnt a lot.

每年，有超过40，000名的英国中学生经营一项生意。 “每一个生意运行一年，”一位访问上海的学生团队成员Ben如是说， “当我们开始业务之初，我们向父母和朋友借了钱。截至年底，他们将获得一些红利。 “我问Ben 经营一项生意是否是困难的。他说这是没有问题的。

他说他们总是得到许多来自老师和商界人士提供的建议。

另一个团队成员Regina，向我介绍了他们总是问自己的四个问题。这些问题是：

1。什么东西是人想购买的？ 2。哪里是销售我们产品的好地方？ 3。怎样使我们的产品优于其他产品？

4。我们的产品标价多少？

我也对团队是如何运作的十分感兴趣。Regina说，每个业务通常约有5至7名学生，其

中有一位经理和一名会计师。我问他们谁当经理呢。Regina说： “当然是我咯”她说，“这是我的创意去生产图画书的”。 Ben说， “我们学校的其他团队销售的东西有如T恤，录像和电

脑游戏。“

我问：“所做的生意通常能盈利多少呢？“ Regina回答：“有些生意盈利$20,000 -

$ 30,000，但大多数团队赚取约$1,000-3,000小利润。“ 我问他们用这些利润做些什么事情。 “我们可以用这些利润做我们喜欢的事情。 “不过，Regina告诉我说，重要的是不要浪费金钱。

她一直号召其他团队一起把钱捐入慈善机构。

大多数学生乐于经营一项生意，并且所有的学生都说他们学到了很多东西。

Bev could not to do her work. She felt too tired. She put down her book, yawned and felt better. Bev looked up. Had the teacher seen her? To her surprise, the teacher was yawning, too. He took a long breath and opened his mouth wide. He closed his eyes a bit

and let out his breath in a big, slow yawn. Then Bev heard other yawns. The teacher said, ”Bev, yawned because our doors and windows are closed. And the room is warm. Her body needed more air. Maybe she yawned because she was tired. Maybe she was hungry. Or she just needed to move a bit. Do you feel better now, Bev?”

he asked. “Yes,” said asked.

“Yawns wake us up,” the teacher said. “When you yawn you stretch many parts of your

body. That stretching makes you feel good.”

There were more yawns.

“People do not know why they yawn,” the teacher went on. “But if you see a yawn, hear one, or even read about one, you may yawn, too. And if your yawn starts, you can’t stop it.

You may close mouth to stop it. But the yawn will still come.”

The teacher stood up and said, “Let’s open the window and water on your face helps

to stop yawns. Bev may go first. ”

How do you feel now after you have read this story? Did you yawn? Watch a friend read this. See if your friend starts to yawn. If you see a yawn, you will know why. 贝弗不能再工作了。她觉得太累了。她放下书本，打了个哈欠，感觉好多了。贝弗抬起头来。老师看到了她这样子吗？令她惊讶的是，老师也正打着呵欠。他吸了很长一口气，张大了嘴巴。他微微闭上了眼睛，让他的吸气释放在一个又大又慢的哈欠里。接着，贝弗听到了其他

的哈欠声。

老师说，“贝弗，打哈欠是因为我们的门和窗户都关着。整个房间暖暖的。而身体需要更多的空气。也许因为她累了她打哈欠。也许因为她饿了她打哈欠。或者她只是需要动一下。“他

问道: “贝弗,现在你感觉好些了？“

“是的，”贝弗回答。

“打哈欠可以唤醒我们，”老师说。 “当你打哈欠你伸展了身体的许多部分。这样的伸展

使你感觉良好。 “ 还有更多的打哈欠。

“人们不知道他们为什么打哈欠，”老师接着说。 “但如果你看到呵欠，听到呵欠声，甚至阅读有关哈欠的文章，你也可能打哈欠。如果你的哈欠开始，你不能阻止它。你可以闭上嘴

阻止它。但是哈欠仍然会再来。 “

老师站起来说：“让我们打开窗户，脸上擦些水有助于停止打哈欠。贝弗可以先试试。 “ 当你看了这样的故事后你感觉如何呢？你打哈欠吗？观察一下朋友看了这个的反应。 看看

你的朋友是否开始打哈欠了。如果你看到打呵欠，你就会知道为什么了。

Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by

hearts. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them

over and over.

Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long

street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men

of the work have had wonderful memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own

language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child. Some children—like boys ad girls who live in foreign countries with their parents—seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools it is not easy to learn a second language because the

pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well. The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what

we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

有些人有非常好的记忆力，能轻松地记住相当长的诗歌。还有些人，只能记住那些他们说

了一遍又一遍的东西。

查尔斯狄更斯，英国著名作家，据说他走过任何一条伦敦大街后就能告诉你他所经过的每

一个商店的名字。许多伟人都具有极好的记忆力。

良好的记忆力在学习语言中是有很大帮助的。每个人从小通过记住所听到的学习母语。有些孩子---比如与父母一起在国外生活的男孩和女孩们---似乎学习两种语言几乎与学习一种语言一样轻松。 在学校里学习第二语言是不容易的，因为学生们只有很少的时间用于学习，并且

他们也同时忙于其他学科。

人类的心灵很像是一个相机，但是它'拍摄照片’不仅有我们所看到的东西，还有我们的感

觉，听觉，嗅觉和味觉。 记忆是伴随着我们一生的日记。

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later

it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.

About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best

one can earn a lot of money.

For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than $3000 a year.

The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than $50000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis and motor racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertising for sports equipment does not simply say “But our thing”. It says ”Buy the same shirt and shoes as?”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for

people’s spare time.

单词“sport”最初是指人们在空闲时间做的事。后来常指猎杀野生动物和鸟类。

大约一百年前，这个词第一次用于表示举办奥运会。这是这个词现今的通常意义。人们花了很多业余时间踢足球，打篮球，打网球和许多其他运动项目。人们这样做是因为他们想运动。有少数人以他们从事的运动而获得报酬。这些人被称为职业运动员。他们可能只有短短数年的

职业生涯，但在当时，最好的一个能赚很多钱。

例如，英格兰职业足球运动员的收入一年超过3000美元。球星赚取更多。 国际高尔夫球和网球冠军可以在一年里赚取超过50000美元。当然，只有少数运动员能赚很多钱，这仅在个人运动项目是可能的，像高尔夫球，网球和赛车。也许有关运动员和金钱最令人惊讶的事情是这样的：球星可从广告那部分赚取的钱比从运动本身赚取的钱要多的多。一种运动器材广告，不会简单地说：“购买我们的产品”。它得说：“买同系列的衬衫和鞋子如同...”。著名运动员甚至可以代言的产品像手表和食品。他们允许公司使用他们的名字或他们的照片，他们因此取

得报酬。体育运动不再仅仅是人们闲暇时间的东西了。

Until 1871, everyone in England played football for fun. Then someone had the idea

of giving a beautiful cup to the best team each year. The Football Association agreed. It

made rules for its teams.

Today in the FA cup, teams play against each other until there is only one team

left, the winning team. The winners get the Cup. Any team, large or small, important or unimportant, in or out the association, can play, but it is very hard to get the Cup.

The FA Cup is often just called “the Cup”. There are other cups(like the League

Cup(联合杯), for example), but “the Cup” always means the “big one”. To win it is as good as winning the League, perhaps even better. At the end of the game, one team is the beat of all. The players stand there in front of many people, sometimes more than fifty thousand, and one by one, each of the eleven members of the team holds the great Cup

above his head. It is one of the great moments of England football.

直到1871年，英国人踢足球还只当作娱乐。而后有人提出了想法把一个美丽的杯子授予每

一年最好的球队。英格兰足球协会同意了。并为协会里的球队制定规则。

今天的足总杯赛，球队捉对淘汰，直到只剩下一个球队，获胜的球队。胜利者获得足总杯。任何一支球队，大的或小的，重要的或不重要的，加入协会的或未加入协会的，都可以参赛，

但是赢得足总杯是非常艰难的。

足球协会杯通常就是所谓的“足总杯”。还有其他杯赛（例如，联合杯），但“足总杯”总是意味着“顶级”。 为了赢得它，就象赢得联赛一样，甚至更好。在比赛结束后，一支球队是欢呼雀跃的。球员们站在许多人面前，有时甚至超过50000多，一个接一个，球队11个成员

每个人的手触拥着大杯。它是英格兰足球的伟大时刻之一。

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice-cream better than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It’s important for us to eat our meal at regular time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England,

some judges often decided whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. Of the man could not swallow the bread, it meant that he wasn’t telling the truth. Though

this seems strange and truth. A man who is worrying something has difficulty in

swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.

我们的饮食习惯对于健康和强壮的身体而言是非常重要的。比起吃肉类和大米，我们当中多数人更喜欢吃甜食和冰淇淋。如果我们餐后吃甜食和冰淇淋，甜食和冰淇淋对我们没什么害处。如果我们餐前吃，它们可以夺走我们的胃口。我们每天在固定时间吃饭，这一点很重要。当我们感到兴奋或忧虑，我们可能不想吃。很久以前，在英国，一些法官常常决定一个人是否说了实话就给他一些干面包。该名男子未能吞下面包，这意味着他没有说实话。虽然这似乎很奇怪也很真实。正在忧虑某事的这名男子是很难吞下任何干食物的，因为他已没了胃口。

When I take a walk around Washington Square Park, I often see a lot of people

walking with dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but people have changed the reasons why they keep a dog. Of course, they keep dogs in order to keep safe. But the most important reason is that they can have friends, because the city can be a lonely place. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is also their child when their real children

have grown up. Now can you see the reason why people keep dogs?

当我绕着华盛顿广场公园散步时，我经常看到很多人在与溜狗。说实话，狗是世界上最有用和最忠实的动物，但是人们已经改变了他们养狗的理由。当然，他们养狗为了安全。但最重要的原因是他们能有朋友，因为城市是一个寂寞的地方。对于一个孩子而言，他没有朋友一起玩的时候，狗是他最好的朋友。对于年轻夫妇而言，当他们自己的孩子长大成人了，狗也是他

The most famous vegetable in the world is the potato. It grows in many places and

does not need as rich soil as many other crops need. But until four hundred years ago the potato was not known to Europeans. But today it is one of the main foods in Europe. About

a half of the world’s potatoes are grown in Europe.

In France the potato was not grown for food a long time ago. A story is told about Houis. In 1778, he saw some potato flowers for the first time. He likes them so much that he picked one and put it in his buttonhole. He was interested in nineteenth century,

the potato was eaten in almost all the countries of the world.

世界上最有名的菜是马铃薯。它生长在许多地方，它并不需要象其他许多农作物所需的肥沃土壤。但是直到400年以前，欧洲人并不知道马铃薯。但今天马铃薯是欧洲的主要食品之一。

世界上大约一半的马铃薯种植在欧洲。

在法国，很久以前马铃薯并不作为食物来种植。有一个关于Houis的故事。1778年，Houis第一次看到了一些马铃薯花。他非常喜欢它们，所以他摘了一朵，把它插在他的扣眼里。19世

纪时马铃薯深受欢迎，世界上几乎所有国家都食用马铃薯

We often think of insects as being harmful. This is not quite true. Many insects are

harmful. Flies carry disease. Other insects carry disease, too.

Farmers are at war with insects most of the time. Hungry insects kill plants in the

fields. Farmers spray the fields to get rid of these insects.

Does this mean that all insects are harmful? No. many are of great help to man. Bees make honey. Without bees and other insects, many trees would have no fruit.

Silkworms make silk, some insects eat other insects that kill fruit trees. Have you ever seen a praying mantis? People who do not know about the praying mantis sometimes kill it. They think it is harmful. But this insect is of great help to

farmers and gardeners. It eats insects that kill plants.

Long ago, many people thought of most insects as enemies. Today we know the

difference between harmful insects and those that help us.

我们往往认为昆虫是有害的。这是不完全正确的。许多昆虫是有害的。苍蝇携带疾病。其

他昆虫也携带疾病的。

农民们大多数时间里是与昆虫作斗争。饥饿的昆虫杀死田间的农作物。农民们喷洒除虫剂

以驱散这些昆虫。

这是否意味着所有的昆虫都有害吗？不是的，许多昆虫对人类有很大益处。蜜蜂制造蜂蜜。如果没有蜜蜂和其他昆虫，许多树木就没有果实。蚕吐丝，一些昆虫吃杀其他蛀果树的昆虫。

你见过螳螂吗？不了解螳螂的人有时会杀死它。他们认为螳螂是有害的。但是，螳螂对农

民和园丁有很大的帮助。螳螂食用导致植物死亡的昆虫。

很久以前，许多人把大多数昆虫当作敌人看待。今天，我们知道了益虫和害虫之间的区别。

Some animals sleep in winter time because the weather can be very cold and it is

difficult for them to find food. They can sleep for a long time (from autumn to spring).

This kind of winter sleep is called “hibernation”.

If an animal moves about a lot, it needs food. Hibernating animals do not need to

eat much because they are not moving about. Their hearts beat very slowly and they also breathe weather and where they are out of danger. Their body fat keeps them alive and

warm.

Some animals, such as bears, may wake up from their hibernation on warm winter

days and then quickly go back to sleep again when they see the snow is still thick on the ground. When the weather becomes warmer is spring, the animals start to wake up and

look for good.

有些动物在冬季睡眠，因为冬季天气非常寒冷，并且他们难以找到食物。他们可以睡很长

的时间（从秋季到春季）。这种在冬季的睡眠称作“冬眠”。

如果一只动物到处活动，它需要食物。冬眠动物不需要吃太多，因为他们没有到处活动。他们的心跳很慢，他们仅做呼吸，而且他们远离生命危险。他们体内脂肪保持他们的温暖得以

生存。

有些动物如熊，可能在温暖的冬天从冬眠中醒来，然后当他们看到地面积雪仍厚时又迅速

回去睡觉了。当春天来临天气变暖时，动物们开始苏醒，寻找食物了。

A seeing-eye dog is a special dog. It helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs “seeing-eye” dogs because the dogs are the “eyes” of the blind men and they help them to see. These dogs go to special schools for

several years to learn to help blind people.

One day a seeing-eye dog and a blind man got on a bus together. The bus was full

of people and there were no spare seats. One man, however, soon got up and left. The dog took the blind man to the seat but there was very little space. The dog began to push the people on each side with his nose. He pushed and pushed until the people moved down and finally there was enough space for two. The blind man then sat down and the dog got upon the seat at the side of the blind man. He lay and soon fell asleep. Everyone on the bus had to smile at the cleverness of the dog in making space for the blind man and, at the same

time, making a place for himself.

导盲犬是一种特殊的狗。它可以帮助盲人沿着街道行走和做很多其他的事情。我们称呼这些狗为“导盲”犬是因为，这种狗是盲人的“眼睛”，他们帮助盲人去'看’。这些狗进入特殊

一天，一位盲人和一条导盲犬一起登上一辆巴士。巴士里挤满了人，没有多余的座位。有个人，不久起身离开。导盲犬带领盲人挤向座位，但是空间太小。狗开始用他的鼻子推开人们到一边。他推啊推直到人们移开后，终于留下足够有两个人的空间。然后盲人坐下来，狗跳到盲人的一边。狗躺着，很快就睡着了。巴士上的每个人都微笑地看着聪明狗为盲人找空位，并

在同一时间，也为自己找了位子。

Millions of years ago, there were lots of trees on the earth, because summer lasted all year round. A forest covered the earth like a green carpet.

What was that forest like? It is not difficult to find out, because parts of that

ancient forest still stand. It is known as the rain forest. Here, even in fine weather water

drips through the leaves.

The largest of today’s rain forests is in South America. It covers about a million

square miles. All the trees are very tall. The young trees are up to 60 feet high. But it is

not easy for some to grow taller, because very little sunlight reaches them. The grown-up trees are about 60 to 120 feet high. Some are even taller. The

tallest trees can be 200 or more feet high.

In this forest of tall trees, not only plant life is rich but also animal life. At

different heights live different animals. By the many noises they make you know they are

there.

几百万年前，地球上有大片森林，因为夏天持续全年。一个森林覆盖的地球像一个绿色的

当今最大的雨林是在南美洲。它占地约1万平方公里。所有的树木都非常高。年轻的树高

达60英尺高。但是它们不易于长高，因为很少阳光照到它们。 成年树木约60至120英尺高。有些甚至更高。最高的树能有200多英尺高。 在这高大树木的森林里，不仅植物物种丰富，而且动物物种也丰富。在不同高度有不同的

The crow is an ordinary bird. It is about twenty inches long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on old bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any other birds. They look for food all day long, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests in the trees.

They sleep there at night.

Crows are much noisier than other bird. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns like human beings. It is easy to tell from crows’ sounds whether they are pleased or angry. Perhaps crows talk to lot because they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very sad and

quiet for the rest of its life and sometimes it dies too.

When we think of plants, most of us will think of things that grow from the ground

and have green leaves, but there are plants that do not look of act like other plants. Some

of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.

Fungi may appear almost everywhere. They usually grow in damp places where they

can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves, they can not make food for themselves. Green plants use their leaves to make their own food, but fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or waste matter. Some fungi live on rotting

wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss.

Mushrooms are the best-known fungi. There are many kinds of mushrooms

appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow

at the foot of trees.

Squirrel’s bread is another kind of wild mushroom. Its appearance and use explain

the origin of its name. These fungi, look like small golden cakes, grow on short, fat stems.

Squirrels can easily nibble them or carry them off to their nests to eat later. The mushrooms found in food stores are carefully grown by people who know they

are safe to eat. Mushrooms experts warn people never to touch or taste wild mushrooms because some of them are deadly. Even less dangerous ones can still make a person very

sick.

当我们谈起植物，我们大多数人会想到的东西是，从地面生长，有绿叶子，但也有看起来

不像其他植物生长样式的。其中一些属于一类特殊的植物称为真菌。

真菌可能几乎无处不在。它们通常生长在潮湿的地方，它们可以很容易得到养料和水。由于真菌没有绿叶，它们不能为自己提供食物。绿色植物通过叶子提供给自己所需的养料，但真菌必须从动物，植物或其他废物获取养料。有些真菌生活在腐烂的木材上，而另一些长在树上

或生活在泥土中或生活在苔藓上。

蘑菇是最著名的真菌。有各种形状和大小的许多种蘑菇。例如，在7?10月的森林中可以找

到花椰菜蘑菇。它们可以长到 五十磅 重！它们长在树脚边。

松鼠的面包是另一种野生蘑菇。它们的外观和用途说明了其名称的由来。这些真菌，看上去像小黄金蛋糕，长有短短的，肥肥的茎干。松鼠可以很容易地蚕食它们或将它们运回自己的

In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc, in almost every family. These are

their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them needles so that they won’t carry disease. They have special animal food stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car

people would be very sad about it.

People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: their family tie is not as close as ours. When children grow up they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They

can be good friends and never leave them alone.

在加拿大几乎每个家庭你可以找到狗，猫，马等。这些都是他们的宠物。人们喜欢这些宠物，并当它们的好朋友。在他们自己家里饲养之前，他们带它们去动物医院给动物注射疫苗以预防疾病。他们有专门的动物性食品的商店。有些人1个月的动物食物花费约200加元。当你拜访加人的家园，他们会很乐意告诉你他们的宠物，他们很为它们感到骄傲。你还会发现，几乎每个家庭的花园里都有鸟儿的喂食器。欢迎各种鸟类来美餐，它们可以自由地来来去去，在加拿大没有人可以杀死任何动物。他们立法禁止捕杀野生动物。如果你杀死一个动物，你会受

到惩罚。如果一个动物碰巧被车辗过，人们会很难过的。

加拿大人喜欢动物有很多理由。其中之一可能是：他们的亲属关系并非如我们那样地接近。当孩子长大后，他们离开父母，开始自己的生活。然后，年老的会觉得孤独。但宠物可以解决

这个问题。他们可以成为好朋友，从来没有离开他们。

To find out whether bees can see colours, the following experiment is made. A

table is put in a garden, and on the table is a blue card with some syrup on it. As soon as one bee finds the syrup, many more come to it one after another in a short tome. It seems that one bee is able to tell the news of food to the other bees in their “home”. After a moment, the blue card with syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding place and a red card to its right. Nothing can be seen on the two cards. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the

blue card. None go to the red one.

要了解蜜蜂是否可以辨别颜色，进行下面的实验。花园里摆上一张桌子，桌上放着一块涂了糖浆的蓝色卡片。只要一只蜜蜂发现糖浆，短时间里就会有更多的蜜蜂一个接一个到来。看来，一个蜜蜂能把食物信息传递给“家”中的其他蜜蜂。过一会儿，拿走涂有糖浆的蓝色卡片。现在把替换了的蓝色卡片放在第一次喂食地点的左侧，再放一块红色卡片到蓝色的右侧。两张卡片上看不到任何东西。很快蜜蜂再次到来，直接飞向蓝色卡片，没有一只飞向红色卡片。

到惩罚。如果一个动物碰巧被车辗过，人们会很难过的。

加拿大人喜欢动物有很多理由。其中之一可能是：他们的亲属关系并非如我们那样地接近。当孩子长大后，他们离开父母，开始自己的生活。然后，年老的会觉得孤独。但宠物可以解决

这个问题。他们可以成为好朋友，从来没有离开他们。

To find out whether bees can see colours, the following experiment is made. A

table is put in a garden, and on the table is a blue card with some syrup on it. As soon as one bee finds the syrup, many more come to it one after another in a short tome. It seems that one bee is able to tell the news of food to the other bees in their “home”. After a moment, the blue card with syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding place and a red card to its right. Nothing can be seen on the two cards. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the

blue card. None go to the red one.
