to
drink
too
much.
And
how
do
you
know
when
you've had enough? Well, I'll tell
you.
Do you see those two lights at the end of the bar?
When they seem
to have
become four, you've had enough and should go
home.” “But, Dad,” said
Tom, “I can
only
see one light at the
end of the bar.”

6. Friends (1)
Friends are different things to
different people. To my little sister, a friend is
someone who likes to
swim
and
ride
bikes.
My
mom’s
idea
of
a
friend
is
someone
like
Mrs.
Smith
who walks and talks
with
her
every
morning.
My
dad’s
friends
are
neighbors who help him with the work
like building shelves and planting trees.

．朋友
(1)
对于不同的人，

对于我的小妹妹来说，
朋友是喜

行车的某个人。
我妈妈的想法是朋友像史密斯夫人
一样可以每天早上陪她散步并交谈。
我爸
爸的朋友是帮他搭建架
子、种树或做其他活的邻居们。

6. Friends (2)
Steve, our monitor, is my best friend.
We go skating, play football, talk about sports,
and go
to a concert. When I broke my
leg, he always came over to play games; in school,
he carried my
schoolbag for me and got
my lunch for me. I know I can always count on him,
and he also knows
that he can count on
me.
Some
friends
may
be
in
your
life
for
a
while.
Others
will
be
there
for
a
long
time,
maybe
even forever. I would hate to move, unless I could
take my friends with me. They are too
important to leave behind.

(2)
我们的班长史蒂夫是我最好的朋友
。我们去滑冰、踢足球、谈论体育、去听音乐会。我

就来我家玩游戏；
在学校，
他替我拿书包，
并帮我打午饭。
我知道我总能依靠他，
他也知道他能依靠我
。
有些
朋友可能只在你的一生中停留一会儿。
另一些则很长一段时间和你做朋友，
甚至有
可能是终生的朋友。
我憎恨搬家，除非我可以
把朋友也带走。
他们对我来说太重要了，
我无

The “Deaf” Wife
A man is talking to the family doctor,
“Doctor, I
doubt
whether my
wife's going deaf.” The
doctor
answers,
“Here’s
something
you
can
try
on
her
t
o
test her
hearing.
Stand
some
meters
away
from her and ask her
a question. If she
doesn't answer,
move a little closer
and ask again.
Keep repeating
this until she answers. Then you'll be
able to tell if she is deaf or not.”
The
man
goes
home
and
begins
to
test
his
wife's
hearing. He
stands
by
the
wall and
says,
“My dear, what's for dinner ? ” He
doesn't hear an answer, so he moves closer to her.
“My dear,
what's for dinner?”
Still
no answer. He repeats this
several times, until he's standing just a few feet
away from her.
Finally, she
answers, “For the eleventh time, I said we're
having meat
and
rice!”

某人对他的家庭医生说，
“
医生，我怀疑
我妻子要聋了。
”
医生回答说，
“
有个办法可以
测试她的听力。
你站在离她几米远的地方，
然后问她一个问题。
如
果她不回答，
你再走近点，
然后再问。如此重复直到她听到为止
，那时你就可以判断她是否聋了。
”
这人回家后便开始测试他妻子的听力。他站在墙的旁边说，<
/p>
“
亲爱的，晚饭吃什么？
”
他没听到回答，于是又朝妻子走近了些。
“
亲爱的，
晚饭吃什么？
”
仍然没有回答。他如
此
反复了几次，直到他离妻子只有几英尺的地方。
最后，她回答道，
“
我都说了十一次了，我说咱们要吃肉和米饭。

Jimmy's
pictures were different from other people’s
because he never painted it on all of the
paper. He painted on half of it, and
the other half was always empty.
“That's very clever,”
everybody said. “Nobody else
does that!” They all
bel
ieved that the boy
was a
pioneer in painting.
One day, somebody bought one of Jimmy's
pictures and then said to him, “Please tell me
this,
Jimmy. Why do you paint on the
bottom half of your pictures, but not on the top
half?”
“Because I’m small,” Jimmy
said, “and my brushes

knew
what
he
would
be
in
his
next
life.
So
he
called his
favorite
disciple
(
徒弟

and
asked
him
what
he
would
do
to
show
thanks. The
disciple
said
he
would do
whatever his guru asked him to do.
After the guru received the
promise, he said,
“Then this is what
I'd like you to do for me. I've
just
learned that when I die very soon, I'm going to be
born as a pig. Do you see that pig eating
rubbish over there in the yard? I'm
going to be born as one of its
baby
pigs. You’ll recognize me
by a mark on
my face. When the baby pigs have been born, find
the baby pig with a mark on its
face
and kill it with your knife. Then
I’ll
not
live a pig's l

you do this for me?”

有一天，
一位印度教大师知道了他的来生是个什么样子，
因此，
他召来自
己最喜爱的徒
弟，并问他要做什么来表示感谢。徒弟说无论什么，只要大师要求，他都会
去做。
收到这项承诺之后，
大师说：
“我现在就告诉你我希望你为我做
的。
我刚刚得知我就要
死了，
我会出生
成为一只猪。
你看到正在院子里吃垃圾的那头猪了吧？我将会是它下一窝猪
仔中的一只小猪。
你会从我脸上的记号认出我来。
当
那些小猪出生以后，
你去找脸上有记号
的小猪，用你的刀把它杀
死，这样我就不会过猪的生活。你会为我做吗？”

The disciple was sad to
hear all this, but he agreed to do as he had
promised.
Soon
after this conversation, things happened just as
the guru had mentioned. The guru died.
Four baby pigs were born. One day, the
disciple held his knife with him and picked out
the baby
pig with a mark on its face.
Just as he was about to kill it, the little pig
suddenly
spoke, “Stop!

human voice, it said,
“Don't kill me! I
want to live on as a pig. When I asked you to kill
me, I didn't know what a pig's

12. Greenland and
Iceland
Greenland
is
the
largest
island
on
earth.
It
is
in
the
north of
Europe.
Near Greenland
is
another island. It is
small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that
Greenland is green and warm?
Do you
think that Iceland is white with ice? If you do,
you are wrong. Not many people live on the
big island of Greenland. There are more
people in your hometown than in all of Greenland.
That is
because Greenland is not green.
Greenland is white. Most of Greenland is covered
with lots of ice.
The ice covering
Greenland is higher than some of the world's
buildings. What about Iceland? Is it
colder than Greenland? No, it is not.
Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland.
Iceland
has a lot of hot springs
(
温泉
). They give out hot
water and steam (
蒸汽
). So it
is not as cold as
Greenland. And there
are a lot more people who live in Iceland.

格林兰岛与冰岛
格林兰岛是世界上最大的岛屿。它
位于欧洲的北部。在格林兰岛的附近有另外一个岛，
这个岛很小，
它的名字叫冰岛。
你认为格林兰岛是绿色、
温暖的吗？你认为
冰岛是冰覆盖的
白色岛屿吗？如果你这样想，
你就错了。
格林兰岛上没有很多人居住，
你家乡的人会比整个
格林兰岛的居民都多。
那是因为格林兰岛不是绿色的，
它是
白色的。
格林兰岛的大部分覆盖
着很多冰。
覆盖格林兰岛的冰比这个世界上的一些建筑物还要高。
冰岛怎样呢？它比格林兰
岛还要冷吗？不，不是的。冰岛有冰，但不像格林兰岛那么多的冰。冰岛有很多温泉，这些<
/p>
温泉放出热水和蒸汽，因此冰岛不像格林兰岛那样冷。而且冰岛的居民远远多于格林兰岛。

Competition of Lying
A certain old gentleman was
very
unhappy about
modern
education,

that
young people didn’t

wrong.
One
day
he
was
taking
a
walk
near
the
church
when
he
saw
some
young
boys
standing
around a small cat.
The old gentlemen went up to the boys and asked
them what was happening.
One of the
boys said to him, “We're having a competition.
We're
telling lies, and the one who
tells
the biggest lie will keep the
cat.”
The old gentleman thought this was a
good chance to teach the boys a useful lesson, so
he
said to them, “I've never told a lie
in my life.” At once there was a great
shout
from all the boys,
and
they said, “You've
won! The cat belongs
to you!”

他在教堂附近散步时，
看到一些小男孩围着一只小猫。
这位老绅士凑上前去问
孩子们发生什么事了。有个男孩告诉他：
“我们正在进行一场竞赛。我们在比赛说谎，
谁说
的谎最大，
这只猫就是谁的。”
老绅士觉得这是教育孩子们的一个好机会。
于是他就对孩子们说：
“我这辈子从未说过

在唯海，做唯一，一切为了孩子！
谎话。”立刻所有孩子异口同声地大喊：“你赢了！这只猫属于你了!”
14. Sports in America
In many parts of the world, there are
four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter.
There are
only three in America:
football, basketball and baseball. If you want to
know what season it is, just
have a
look at what people are playing. Sports are an
important part of American culture. Students
learn to play many sports at school.
They take PE classes. Some join the school teams,
and others
join school sports leagues.
For many people in the USA, sports are not just
for fun. They're almost
a religion.
Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to
watch their favorite teams and sports
stars play. Other fans watch games on
TV at home. The most devoted

miss a game

15. The Apple Tree
(1)
A long time
ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy
loved to come and play around it
every
day. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples,
and played under the tree. He loved the tree
and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by. The little boy had grown up and he
no longer
played around the tree. One
day, the boy came back to the tree and
looke
d sad. “Come and play
with me,” the tree asked the boy. “ I
am no longer a kid. I do not play around trees any
more. ”
The boy replied, “ I want toys.
I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don't
have money. But
you can pick all my
apples and sell them.
So, you will have
money.” The boy was so excited. He
picked all the apples on the tree and
left happily. The boy didn't come back after he
picked the
apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned
and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with
me.”
The tree said,
“I don't
have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a house. Can you help me? ”
“
Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can cut
off my branches to build your house.” So the
boy cut all the branches of the tree
and left happily. The tree was glad to see him
full of joy, but
the boy didn't appear
since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

苹果树
(1)
很久以前，有一棵巨
大的苹果树。一个小男孩每天都喜欢来到树旁玩耍。他爬到树顶、
吃苹果、在树下玩。他爱这棵树，树也爱和他一起玩。随着时间的流逝，小男孩长大了。他
< br>不再到树旁玩耍了。一天，男孩回到树旁，他看起来很悲伤。“来和我玩吧！”树说。“我
不再是个小孩，我不会再到树下玩耍了。”
男孩答道，
“我想要玩具，我需要钱来买。”
“很遗憾，
我没有钱。
但是你可以摘我所有的苹果拿去卖。
这样你就有钱了。
”男孩很兴奋。
他摘掉树
上所有的苹果，然后高兴地离开了。摘过苹果以后，男孩没再回来。树很伤心。
一天，男孩回来了，树非常兴奋，“来和我玩吧，”树说。“我没有时间玩．我不得不
为我的家庭工作。我们需要一个房子，你能帮我吗？” “很遗憾，我没有房子。但是，你
可以砍下我的树枝来建房。”于是，
男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴
地离开了。看到他充满

欢乐，树也很高兴。但是，自从那时起，男孩没再出现，树很孤独很悲伤。

15. The Apple Tree (2)
One hot summer day, the boy returned
and the tree was very happy. “Come and play with
me!”
the tree said. “I am sad and
getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself.
Can you give me a
boat? ” “Use my trunk
to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.” So
the boy cut the tree trunk
to make a
boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a
long time. Finally, the boy returned
after he left for so many years. “
Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you
any
more. No
more apples for
you.” the tree said. “I don’t have teeth to eat.”
The boy replied. “No more trunk
for
you
to
climb
on”
“I
am
too
old
for
that
now.”
the
boy
said.
“I
really
want
to
give
you
something --
the only thing
left is my dying roots.” The tree said. “ I don't
need much now, just a
place to rest. I
am tired after all these years. ” The boy replied.
“Good! Come here, please sit down
with
me and have a rest,” The boy sat down and the tree
smiled.
This is a story of
everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were
young, we loved to play
with Mom and
Dad. When we grow up, we leave them, and only come
to them when we need
something or when
we are in trouble. Whatever, parents will always
be there and give everything
they could
to make you happy. You may think that the boy is
cruel to the tree but that's how all of
us are treating
(
对待
) our parents.

．苹果树
(2)
在一个炎热的夏日，男孩回到树旁，树很高兴。“来和我玩吧
!
”
树说，“我很伤心，
我开
始变老了。我想去航海放松自己，你能不能给我一条船？”
“用我的树干去造一条船，
你就能航海了，你会高兴的。”
于是
，男孩砍下树干去造船。他航海去了，很长一段时间
未露面。
许
多年后男孩终于回来了。
“很遗憾，
我的孩子，
我再也没有任何东西可以给你了。
没有苹果给你”
树说。“我没有牙齿吃了。”男孩答道。
“没有树干供你爬。”
“现
在我老了，爬不上去了。”男孩说。
“我真的想把一切都给你，我唯一剩下的东西是快要
死去的树墩。”树
说。男孩答道。“现在，我不需要什么东西，只需要一个地方来休息。经
过了这些年我累
了。” “太好了！过来，和我一起坐下休息吧。”男孩坐下了，树笑了。
这是发生在每一个人身上的故事。
那
棵树就像我们的父母。我们小的时候，喜欢和爸
爸妈妈玩。长大后，便离开他们，只有在
我们需要父母，或是遇到了困难的时候，才回去找
他们．无论什么，父母却总是有求必应
，为了让你幸福，付出他们所有的一切。你也许觉得
那个男孩对树残忍，但我们何尝不是
这样对待自己的父母昵？

They
write

Each
character
is
a

review their lessons. After school, pupils play
basketball and volleyball and ride
bikes. They do the same things as we
do. Mr. Goff said a businessman from China would
visit him
soon. We will invite the man
to our class. In that way, he can tell us more

Say It with Flower (1)
Young men often
give flowers to young women when they are in love.
The tradition may have
come from
Turkey. In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite
popular for people in love to send each
other
baskets
full
of
strange
things.
The
baskets
were
sent
secretly
to
the
person
who
was
receiving it. Usually, an old woman who
sold flowers or fruit on t he street left the
basket beside
the door of that person.

花语寄情（

恋爱中的年轻男士经常送
花给女友，这个传统可能来自土耳其。
18
世纪的土耳其，热<
/p>
恋中的人相互赠送装满奇怪物品的篮子，
这种做法在当时很流行。
篮子被秘密地送给接收篮
子的人。通常，由街上卖花或水果的老
婆婆把篮子送到那人的门旁边。
17. Say It with Flower (2)
These
baskets
included
many
kinds
of
gifts:
flowers,
stones,
candles,
etc.
Each
thing
in
the
basket had a special
meaning. By working out the secret message hidden
in each gift, the person
who received
the basket began to understand little by little
the true feelings of the person who sent
it.
这些篮子里包括许多种礼物
：花、石头、蜡烛等。每样东西都有特殊的含义。篮子接收
者想出每件物品所暗藏的信息
，然后就开始渐渐地理解赠送者的真实感情。
17. Say It with Flowers (3)
The
idea
of
sending
gifts
of
love
with
secret
meanings
quickly
spread
to
other
countries.
However, as time
passed, only sending flowers remained popular.
Flowers told young ladies about
the
feelings in the heart of young men. Each different
flower had a different meaning. For example,
the flowers from an orange tree meant,
“you are beautiful and
pur
e
.”
Pink
carnations meant,
“My
love
far you is great.”
Yellow roses, on the
other hand, meant,
“I saw you with
someone else.”
Many flower dictionaries were made to
help young people in love understand the meaning
of
the
flowers
they
received.
However,
not
all
of
the
dictionaries
agreed
on
the
meaning
of
each
flower,
so a person had to be careful about the flowers
they chose to send. By the 1880s, using
flowers to send messages had become
unpopular, and the more direct way of sending love
letters
began. Today, flowers are still
considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each
kind of flower
has been lost.

这种赠送礼物传递秘密信息的示爱方式迅速传到其他国家，
但是，
随着时间的流逝，
只

花把男士心中的感情传递给女士。
每种花都有不同的含义。
例如，
桔树上开的花表示，“你美丽又纯洁”。粉红色的康乃馨表示
，“我对你的爱是热烈的”。
另一方面，黄玫瑰则意味着“我看见你和别人在一起”。<

为了帮助恋爱中的年轻人理解他们收到的花所代表的含义，<

by Doing and Going
Many of my

They say they are only interested

playing. But I love going to school, and my
favorite subject is science. I like science
because
the experiments and field trips
are exciting. In science we do many exciting
experiments in the lab.
One time we
made crystal form in a bottle by using salt in
water. Another time we watched how
baby
chicks are hatched. We also take exciting field
trips for science. We went to a museum and
saw huge dinosaurs and tiny
butterflies. On Tree-planting Day, we went to a
forest and collected
leaves.
It's
good
to
play,
but
I
would
rather
do
experiments

20. My Son's
Questions
Since my son was three years
old, he's kept asking me “ why? ” about
everything. Why
is the
sky
blue? Why are there clouds? Why can't I go
outside? Why do I have to be nice? Anyway, I
always try my best to answer his
questions. Now my son is ten years old. At this
age, the boy is
interested in all kinds
of things, and he’s got more questio
ns
to trouble me. Do people in prison
celebrate
festivals?
Why
are
dogs'
noses
always
wet?
Why
are
women
and
men's
shoe
sizes
different?
These days, the boy shows interest in
the facts of life, so I borrowed books from the
library
and prepared myself for any
questions he might ask. At the end of our long
talk, he still looked
confused. “ If
you have any questions, ” I said, “ please ask
them. There are no stupid questions. ”
“ Well, suppose I was married, ” he
said with shame, “my wife was going to give
bi
rth to a baby,
and I had
to rush her to the hospital, okay?”
“Yes,” I smiled and encouraged him to
continue his
question. Then he asked,
“Can I go through red lights?”

自从我儿子三岁起，

为什么
天空是蓝色的

为什么会

如何，
< br>我总会尽一切努力回答他的问题。
如今我儿子十岁了。
在
这个年龄，
他对各种事情都
感兴趣，
他
有更多的问题要麻烦我了。
在监狱里的人庆祝节日吗？狗的鼻子为什么总是湿的
?
女人和男人的鞋码为什么不一样呢？
现在，
这个孩子对生命是怎么回事感兴趣了，
因此我从图书馆借书并准备了他可能会问
到的所有的问题。在我们的长谈结束时，他看
上去仍然很迷惑。
“如果你有什么问题，”
< br>我说，“请问它们吧。没有愚蠢的问题（问什么都行）
。”
“好吧，假设我结婚了
,
”
他
带着羞愧说，
“我的妻子要生小孩了，我必须赶紧将她送到医院，
对吗”
“是的，”
我
微笑着说，并鼓励他继续问他的问题。然后他问道
“那我能闯红灯吗？”

A
few years ago, when my family moved to this city,
I became interested in soap-box race.
That's when I discovered that “it is
far easier to start something than it is to finish
it.” Da
d bought
a set of
tools to make a racing car for me. I just couldn't
wait, and one day, while Dad was at work,
I decided to have my car going. I
looked at the drawings, and I said to myself, “
Dude, you can do
this. ” I got out
Dad's toolbox, and I started
building.
Part A fit into Part B. Part C was a little
harder to connect to Part D. It was
easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G,
I'd made a real
mess of things. I
really regret having done such a silly thing. What
did I learn from this experience?
Now I
know that before I start something, I should know
how to finish it.

Today
I read a book about snakes. I found some
interesting facts, especially some surprising
facts in it. Did you know that some big
snakes are strong enough to kill a pig or a goat?
All snakes
eat animals. Without snakes,

smell
with

their
tongues.
Some
snakes
are
even
longer
than an elephant or a

snakes. Most snakes don't hurt
people,

Breakfast Is Important
One
of
the
most
important
meals
of
the
day
is
breakfast.
People
should
always
eat
a
good
breakfast to keep well.
Eating the right food is necessary for good
health. You should eat different
kinds
of food in order to keep a good health. A good
breakfast should include eggs, bread, milk,
and
so
on.
By
eating
breakfast
every
morning,
you
may
feel
lively
in
the
morning's
work.
Stepping
out into the morning air after a good breakfast
will make you feel wonderful. Without
breakfast,
children
may
not
grow
as
fast
as
they
should
and
may
not
study
and
play
as
well
in
school in
the morning as they could. They may have more
sickness, and when they are sick, it may
take them longer time to get well than
children with good health habits. Food provides
energy for
the body. Without food the
body operation will slow down. So you must eat
breakfast to keep well
and do your best
each morning.

为了保持良好的健康，
你应该吃各种不同的食物。
优质的早餐应包括鸡蛋、
面包、
牛奶等。每天吃早餐，你会感觉在上午的工作中充满活力。吃过营养
全面的早餐后，走到外
面呼吸清晨的空气，
让你感觉美妙无比。
不吃早餐，孩子们就不会快速成长，上午在校时也
无法学好、玩
好。他们更容易生病，而且生病时，比起那些有良好健康习惯的孩子，可能要
花更长的时
间恢复身体。
食物为身体提供能量。没有食物，身体的运转就
会慢下来。因此，
要想保持健康并在每一个上午都做到最好，你必须吃早餐。
26. The Proper Way
to Give Gifts (1)
Everyone has had the
experience of giving a gift. A proper gift can
help communication and
express
good
wishes,
and
sometimes
it
may
also
bring
about
unexpected
good
results.
But,
an
improper gift may not only
fail to show good wishes, but also even
result in misunderstanding.
The
art
of
giving
gifts
needs
more
attention,
especially
in
communication
with
friends
from
different countries. When you give
gifts to the Chinese, you should pay attention to
what you say.
In China, people may
sometimes say the words like “Yi Dian Xin
Yi.”

送礼物的正确方式
(1) <
/p>
大家都有送礼物的经历。
适当的礼物有助于交流并表达良好的祝愿
。
有时还能带来意想
不到的效果。
但不
恰当的礼物不仅不能表达心意，
而且可能导致误会。
送礼的艺术
需要更多
的注意，尤其是与不同国家的朋友交往时。你给中国人送礼物时，
应该注意你的措辞。
在中
国，人们有时可能会说“一
点心意”诸如此类的话。

Because of
electricity, it is easy for us to turn on an
electric lamp or a TV. But where does all
that electricity co me from? Most power
plants produce electricity by using coal, oil,

plants make electricity by using sunlight, wind,
water, or even heat from

28. One Real Man
In an
ancient kingdom, all men were ruled by their
wives. The king didn’t believe it. In order to
prove it was not true, the king had all
the men of his kingdom brought before him. He
warned that
any man who did not tell
the truth would be seriously punished. Then he
asked all the men who
followed their
wives' orders to step to the left side of the
hall. All the men did so but one little man
who moved to the right side. “ It's
good to see, ” said the king, “ that we
have one real man in the
kingdom. Tell
these chicken-hearted men why you alone among them
stand on the right side of the
hall. ”
“ Your Majesty, ” came the reply in a weak voice,
“ it is because before I left home my wife
told me to keep out of crowds, I
don't dare to go against
her.”

国王不相信这一点，
为了证明这不是

并警告说，任何不说实话者将受到严重的惩罚。
然后，
他让遵循妻子命令的男人站到大厅的左边，
所有的男人都站到了左边，
只有一个小个子男人
站到右边。“很
好，”国王说：
“我们国家总算还有一位真正的男子汉，你告
诉这些软弱
的家伙，为什么众人之中只有你独自一人站在了大厅的右边。”
“陛下，”那个男人用虚
弱的声音回答道，
< br>“这是因为离家前，我妻子交待我，不许扎堆。我不敢违背她的命令。

Ten years ago, I went on

S:
Did you have a good time
there?
L:
Yes. I
did. One day, after a tiring tour, I went into a
restaurant with my pet dog.
S:
You should feed your dog
first, I think
L:
Right, so I signed a
waiter to come over. At that time, I couldn't
speak English. So I pointed to
the dog
and made an “eating” gesture, showing that the dog
needed some food.
S:
What happened then?
L:
The waiter
nodded and walked away with my pet dog. I was
happy because I made the waiter
understand me without any difficulty.
But after half an hour, he returned with a plate
S:
What was on
the plate?

30. Why Shouldn't We Smoke?
15
在唯海，做唯一，一切为了孩子！
To
begin
with,
smoking
costs
a
lot
of
money.
Smokers
may
also
have
to
spend
more
on
medicine and doctor
visits. Another reason not to smoke is that it is
bad for people who do not
smoke.
Second-hand smoke is a serious public health risk.
It isn't polite for a person to smoke in
front of a nonsmoker. Besides,
nonsmokers usually don't like the smell left in
rooms, cars, or even
on
a
smoker's
clothes!
Most
importantly,
smoking
causes
big
health
problems.
For
example,
smoking makes it
harder to breathe if a person has illnesses like
asthma. Smoking hurts a person's
lungs,
causing diseases like cancer, etc. So if you don't
smoke, don't start. If you do smoke, it's
time to give it up.
30.
为什么我们不应该吸烟？
首先，
吸烟花费很多钱。
吸烟者可能还要花
费更多的钱买药、
看医生。
不吸烟的另一个
理由是吸烟对不吸烟者有害。
二手烟对公众健康来说是一种严重的风险。
在不吸烟者面前吸
烟是不礼貌的。此外，不吸烟者通常不喜欢房间内、汽车
里、甚至是吸烟者衣服上的烟味。
最重要的是，吸烟导致严重
的健康问题。
例如，吸烟会让哮喘等疾病患者呼吸更困难。
吸烟
伤肺，还会导致癌症等疾病。
所以，如果你不吸烟，
那就不要开始
。如果你吸烟，是该戒
烟的时候了。

Stop Two Boys from Fighting
I am
sixteen years old. I have a younger brother. My
brother's name is Jim. Jim is a handsome
boy and sometimes very humorous, he
makes me laugh a lot, and I love him and am proud
of him.
One afternoon I was walking
from my house to the store to buy some ink when I
saw a small
boy running along the
street towards me. He was running a t high speed.
When he came near me, I
was surprised
to see it was Jim “Hi, Jim,” I shouted to him, “
why are you running like that? ” Jim
didn't

He
looked

surprised again I laughed and said, “That's an
important job for a little boy, isn’t it?
You don't do things like that very
often. Who are the two boys?” “They're Tom and
me,” answered
Jim as he continued
running down the street very quickly.

33. Buying a House
As house prices have risen too much
these years, many people find it hard to afford a
house.
But all the people who do not
have a house drea
m of the day when
they’ll pick up the keys to their
own
home. The idea of owning a home is wonderful.
Buying a house will cost you a lot of money,
so never do it in a hurry. Whatever the
market condition is, when you are planning to buy
a house
there are many things to
consider, whatever your intention is, to buy or
only rent. After all, it is
going to be
your home, perhaps for quite a long time, and you
want to be happy with it. You have
to
decide correctly what kind of house you want, how
much you can afford to pay, and the type of
area you wish to live in, however, it's
always easy to forget all above, because it's most
probably
that you'll fall in love with
the house for sale when you first see it.

34. Jimmy and His Son's
Funny Stories
Jimmy is our new
neighbor. He speaks with strange accent, but we
like to talk with him. He
told me an
interesting story about himself. He said he liked
growing flowers in his garden in his
spare time. And one Sunday morning,
after breakfast he put on his old clothes and
began digging
in his garden. He dug and
dug. After half an hour he suddenly found a coin
near his foot. He put it
in his right
pocket.
A few minutes
later, he found another one. He put it in the same
pocket, too. The same thing
happened
for the third, the fourth and the fifth time. He
was very happy and told his wife about it.
She was very happy, too. She said, “A
thief
stole a lot of coins from a shop
a few days ago. The
police caught him
but they didn’t find any coins.” Then Jimmy went
on digging a
nd found some
more coins, but just when he began to
dig, he felt something cold in his trousers. It
ran down one
of his legs. He put his
hand down quickly--and the coin came into his
hand.
Now
he
knew
there
was
a
hole
in
his
pocket.
Jimmy
also
told
me
something
even
funnier
about his son, Jack.
One day he took his son Jack to a boy's clothing
shop. That shop was giving
away
balloons
to
buyers'
children.
Jack
asked
if
he
might
have
two
balloons.
“Sorry,”
the
salesperson said, “ but we give only
one balloon to each child. Do you have a brother
at home? ”
Jack was always honest.
He didn't tell lies, but he wanted
another balloon badly. “ No.” he replied

关于他自己的有趣故事。
他说他喜欢在空闲的时间在他的花园里种花。
一个星期天的早上，
吃过早饭后，他
穿上旧衣服，就在花园里开始挖土。他挖啊挖，半个小时后，突然他发现脚
边有一枚硬币
。他把硬币放进右边的衣服口袋里。
几分钟后，
他又发现了另一枚。
他还是放入同一个口袋。
相同的
事情又发生了，第三次、
第四次、第五次。他非常高兴，然后告诉了他的妻子。她也很高
兴，她说，“几天前有个小
偷从一家商店里偷走好多硬币。警察抓住他但没找到硬币。”
然后吉米继续挖，找到了更
多的硬币，
但就在他开始挖掘时，<
/p>
他感觉有什么凉凉的东西掉进他的裤子里。
这个东西顺着
他的腿往下滑。他迅速放下手
--
硬币在他手上
了。
现在他知道了他的口袋里有个洞。吉米还告诉我一个更有
趣的故事，是关于他儿子杰克
的。一天，
他带着儿子杰克去一家
男孩服装店。那家店铺正在给顾客的孩子赠送气球。
杰克
问是否
他可以得到两个气球。“对不起
,
”
销售人员说，“每个孩子我们只给一个。你家
里有弟弟吗？”
杰克一直是诚实的。他不说谎话，但他非常想再要一个气球，于是他颇感
遗憾地说，“没有，但我姐姐有一个弟弟，我想为他要一个。”杰克真是个可爱的男孩！
35. At Sea in a Small
Boat
People have sailed around the
world in quite small boats. It is not an easy
thing. Sometimes
the weather goes bad.
That will be the end of a boat; and the end of
everyone in it. Accidents can
happen
easily and quickly. One family had an accident
with a big fish. The fish swam under their
boat and bit holes in it. The water
came in to the boat, of course; and the boat soon
went down.
However, these people had
another, smaller boat--a life-boat and they all
got into
that boat.
They
lived and hoped for many days. They woke and
slept, and they always, hoped. At last a ship
found
them. How
do
people
live
in
a
very
small
life-boat? Perhaps
for
weeks
or
months.
They
must
be strong in every way. They must have hope--they
must want to live.
But you
cannot eat and drink hope. You cannot drink sea
water. Drink a lot of sea water --you
will quickly die. Sailors can drink
rain water. They must catch rain water in their
boat. They must
also catch fish and
birds for food. Life boats do not often carry a
cooker and so the sailors cannot
cook
their
food
raw
fish
and
bird-
meat
is
not
very
nice.
But
there
won't
be
any
choice
in
a
life-boat! The sailors must eat raw
food or they will die. What do people think about
in a life-boat?
They think about land,
a warm bed, dry clothes, clean water and food.

他们必须在各个方面都很坚强。
他们必须有希

但你总不能吃喝希望吧。
你
无法喝海水，
喝大量海水后人很快就会死亡。
水手可以喝雨
水。他们必须接雨水存在船里．
他们还要捉鱼和鸟当作食物。
救生艇里一般不会有厨具，因
此水手们不能烹饪食物。
生鱼和鸟的肉味道不是很好，

Y
our Teeth
George Washington
had many great successes in his life, but he
didn't succeed in keeping his
own
teeth! Back then, many people lost their teeth.
But modern people know how to protect their
teeth. The most important thing is to
brush
your teeth.
By keeping
the teeth clean you will not
have a
toothache or other tooth disease. One other
important thing is to eat right. For example,
milk and cheese give teeth calcium,
which they need to be strong. Fruits and
vegetables also help
by providing VA
and VD. On the other hand, sweet food is bad for
teeth. So brush your teeth and
eat
right. They are the basic things you should do to
protect your teeth. If you do the things, you'll
be able to have good teeth for your
whole life. That’s one success that even George
Washington
didn't have!
