莉萨，
你好吗？我头痛，
并且脖子不能动。
我该怎么办？我应该量体温吗？
不，
听起来不像是你发烧。
周末你做什么了？我整个周末都在玩电脑游戏。
那
很可能就是原因。
你需要离开电脑休息几次。
是的，
我想我是一个姿势坐得
太久没有移动。
我认为你应该躺下休息。如果明天你的头和脖子还痛的话，就
去
看医生。好的。谢谢，曼迪。

Bus Driver and Passengers
Save an Old Man
At 9:00 a.m. yesterday,
bus No. 26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the
driver saw an
old man lying on the side
of the road. A woman was next to him, shouting for
help.
The bus driver,
24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without
thinking twice. He got off

and asked the woman what
happened. She said that the man had a heart
problem and should go to
the hospital.
Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the
passengers that he must take the
man to
the hospital. He expected most or all of the
passengers to get off and wait for the next bus.
But
to

to
go
with
him.

He
Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing
Aron
Ralston
is
an
American
man
who
is
interested
in
mountain
climbing.
As
a
mountain
climber,
Aron
is
used
to
taking
risks.
This
is
one
of
the
exciting
things
about
doing
dangerous
2
sports. There were many times when Aron
almost lost his life because of accidents. On
April 26,
2003, he found himself in a
very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah
On that day, Aron's arm was
caught under a 2,000-kilo rock that fell on him
when he was
climbing by himself in the
mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he
stayed there for five
days and hoped
that someone would find him. But when his water
ran out, he knew that he would
have to
do something to save his own life. He was not
ready to die that day. So he used his knife to
cut off half his right arm. Then, with
his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would
not lose
too much blood. After that, he
climbed down the mountain to find help.
After losing his arm, he
wrote a book called
Between a Rock and
a Hard Place
. This means
being
in
a
difficult
situation
that
you
cannot
seem
to
get
out
of.
In
this
book,
Aron
tells
of
the
importance of making good decisions,
and of being in control of one's life. His love
for mountain
climbing is so great that
he kept on climbing mountains even after this
experience.
Do we have the
same spirit as Aron? Let's think about it before
we find ourselves “between a
rock and a
hard place”, and before we have to make a decision
that could mean life or death.

Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money
to Animal Helpers. I’m sure you
know
that this group was
set
up
to
help
disabled
people
like
me.
You
helped
to
make
it
possible
for
me
to
have
Lucky.
Lucky
makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you
my story.
What would it be
like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can’t
walk
or use your hands easily.

Most people
would never think about this, but many people have
these difficulties. I can’t use my
arms
or legs well, so normal things like answering the
telephone, opening and closing doors, or
carrying things are difficult for me.
Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me
out. She
talked
to Animal
Helpers
about
getting
me
a
special
trained
dog. She
also
thought
a
dog
might
cheer me up. I love
animals and I was excited about the idea of having
a dog.
After
six
months
of
training
with
a
dog
at
Animal
Helpers,
I
was
able
to
bring
him
home.
My
dog’s name is Lucky —
a good name for him because I feel very
lucky to have him. You see, I’m
only
able to have a “dog
-
helper”
because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and
underst
ands
many English
words. He can understand me when I give him
orders. For example, I say, “Lucky!
Get
my book,” and he does it at once.
Lucky is a fantastic dog. I’ll send you
a photo of him if you like, and I could show you
how he
helps me. Thank you again for
changing my life.

Last month, our dog
welcomed me when I came home from school. He
wanted a walk, but I was
too tired.
I threw down my bag and went to the
living room. The minute I sat down in front of the
TV, my
mom came over. “Could you please
take the dog for a walk?” she asked.
“Could I watch one show first?” I
asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV
all the time
and never help out around
the house! I can’t work all day and do housework
all evening.”
“Well, I work
all day at school, too! I’m just as tired as you
are!” I shouted back.
My mom
did not say anything and walked away. For one
week, she did not do any housework and
neither did I. Finally, I could not
find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
The
next day, my mom came home from work to find the
house clean and tidy.
“What happened?”

亲爱的先生：
我不理解为什么一些
父母亲让他们的孩子在家里帮着做家务活和杂务。
如今，
孩
子们已经有来自学校的足够的压力了。
他们也没有时间去学习和做家务活。
家
务活浪费他们的时间。
我们只让他们做学生分内的事好吗？为了取得好成绩并
且进入一所好的大学
他们应当把时间花在学业上。而且，当他
们长大了的时候
他们也将不得不做家务活因此他们现在没有必要做家务。
给孩子们在
家里提供一
个干净而又舒适的环境是父母亲的责任。
而且我认为做家务不是那么难。我不介意做。
史密斯先生
亲爱的先生
:
我认为孩子们学会怎样做家务和帮助父母亲做家务活是重要的。
只是在学校取
得好成绩是不够的。如今孩子们依赖父母亲太多。
他们总是问：
“你给我买这
个好吗？
”或者
“你能帮助我做那件事吗？
”做杂务
可以帮助培养孩子们的
独立和教会他们怎样去照顾自己。
它也帮助他们理解公正性的想法。
自
他们与
父母亲一起住在一所房子里以来，
他们就应该知道每个人应当做他们的一部分
来保持房子干净和整洁。
我们邻居的儿子上了一所好大学，但在第一年，他不
知道怎样去照顾自己。结果，他经常生病并且成绩下降。孩子们越早学会独立，
对他们的
未来就越好。

Dear Sir,
I don’t understand
why some parents make their kids help with
housework and chores at home.
Kids
these days already have en
ough stress
from school. They don’t have time to study and do
housework, too. Housework is a waste of
their time. Could we just let them do their job as
students?
They
should
spend
their
time
on
schoolwork
in
order
to
get
good
grades
and
get
into
a
good
un
iversity.
Also, when they get older, they will have to do
housework so there’s no need for them
to do it now. It is the parents’ job to
provide a clean and comfortable environment at
home for their
children. And anyway, I
think doing chores is not so diffi
cult.
I don’t mind doing them.

Mr. Smith
Dear Sir,
I think it is
important for children to learn how to do chores
and help their parents with housework.
It’s not enough to just get good grades
at school. Children these days depend on their
parents too
muc
h. They’re
always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or
“Could you help me with that?”
Doing
chores
helps
to
develop
children’s
independence
and
teaches
them
how
to
look
after
themselves. It also helps them to
understand the idea of fairness. Since they live
in one house with
their parents, they
should know that everyone should do their part in
keeping it clean and tidy. Our
neighbor’s son got into a good college
but during his first year, he had no idea how to
take care of
himself.
As
a
result,
he
often
fell
ill
and
his
grades
dropped.
The
earlier
kids
learn
to
be
independent, the better it is for their
future.

Dear Mr.

My problem is I can’t get on with
my family. Relations between my parents have
become difficult.
They fight a lot, and
I really don’t like it. It’s the only
communication they have. I don’t know
if
I
should say anything to
them about this. When they argue, it’s like a big,
black cloud hanging over
our home.
Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He
always refuses to let me watch my
favorite TV show. Instead he watches
whatever he wants until
late at night.
I don’t think this is
fair. At home I
always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal?
What can I do?
Sad and Thirteen
Dear Sad and Thirteen,
It’s
not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have
these feelings. Why don’t you talk about
these
feelings with your
family? If your parents are having problems, you
should offer to help. Maybe

you
could do more jobs around the house so that they
have more time for proper communication.
Secondly, why don’t you sit down and
communicate with your b

should explain that

watching TV all the time. However, he should let
you watch your favorite
show. I hope
things will be better for you soon.

These days, Chinese children are
sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because
they have
to take so many after-school
classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so
that they can get
into a good high
school and later a good university. Others are
practicing sports so that they can
compete and win. However, this doesn’t
only happen in China.
The
Taylors are a typical American family. Life for
Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy.” On

school,” Cathy
says,
“I

one of
my

and
my

piano lessons. Maybe I could cut
out a
few of their activities, but I believe these
activities are impo
rtant for my
children’s future. I
really want them
to be successful. ” However, the tired children
don’t get home until after 7:00
p.m.
They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for
homework.
Linda Miller, a
mother of three, knows all about such stress.
“In some families, competition starts
very young and continues until the kids
get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small
kids to all
kinds of classes. And they
are always comparing them with other children.
It’s crazy. I don’t think
that’s fair.
Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People
shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”

good
for

development.
Dr.
Alice
Green
says
all
these activities can
cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should
have time
to relax and think for
themselves, too. Although it’s normal
to want successful children, it’s even more
important to have
happy children.”

这场暴风雨使人们关系更亲近了
在阿
拉巴马州，本能听到他家外面的大风。乌云使天空变得很暗。外面没有
光亮，感觉像是半
夜。电视新闻报道了一场特大暴雨发生在这一地区。
街区里每
个人都在忙。
本的爸爸正在把几块木板放在窗户上那时他妈妈则确
认手电筒和收音机都能正常使用。她也把一些蜡烛和火柴放在桌上。
当雨开始对着窗户猛烈地敲打时本在帮助妈妈做晚饭。
晚饭后，他们设法
玩纸牌游戏，但外面正下着严重的暴风雨，想玩得开
心是很难的。
起初本睡不着。当大约凌晨
3
点风
在逐渐变弱时他终于睡着了。当他醒来
时，
太阳正在升起。
他和家人一起来到外面并且发现街区凌乱不堪。
吹倒的树、
打破的窗户和垃圾随处可见。
他们加入到街坊邻居中去帮着一起打扫。
虽然这
场暴风雨把许多东西拆散开了，
但是它使许多家庭和邻居们关系更亲近了。
The Storm Brought People Closer
Together
Ben could hear strong winds
outside his home in Alabama. Black clouds were
making the sky very
dark. With no light
outside, it felt like midnight. The news on TV
reported that a heavy rainstorm
was in
the area.
Everyone in the neighborhood
was busy. Ben’s dad was putting pieces of wood
over the windows
while his mom was
making sure the flashlights and radio were
working. She also put some candles
and
matches on the table.
Ben
was helping his mom make dinner when the rain
began to beat heavily against the windows.

After
dinner,
they
tried
to
play
a
card
game,
but
it
was
hard
to
have
fun
with
a
serious
storm
happening outside.
Ben could
not sleep at first. He finally fell asleep when
the wind was dying down at around 3:00
a.m.
When
he
woke
up,
the
sun
was
rising.
He
went
outside
with
his
family
and
found
the
neighborhood in a mess. Fallen trees,
broken windows and rubbish were everywhere. They
joined
the neighbors to help clean up
the neighborhood together. Although the storm
broke many things
apart, it brought
families and neighbors closer together.
P38 2b
你记得你在做什么吗？
人们经常记得
当他们听到历史上重要事件的新闻时他们正在做什么。
例如，
在
美
国，
许多人都记得在
1968
年
4
月
4
日他们在做什么。
这是美国历史上一次重
< br>大的事件。
在这一天，马丁·路德·金博士被杀害了。
尽管一些人可能不记得是谁杀害
了他，但他们记得当他们听到这个消息时他们在做什么。
罗伯特
·艾伦现在
50
多岁了，但那时他是一个学生。
“我和我的父母亲一起在家里
”，罗
伯特回忆
说。
“当我们从广播中听到这个新闻时，我们正在厨房
里吃晚饭。那个新闻记者
说：‘金博士就在十分钟前去世了。’我的父母都十分震惊！<
/p>
”在那之后，我
的父母没有说话，并且
我们默默地吃完了剩下的晚餐。
更近一些，
< br>绝大多数美国人都记得当纽约世贸中心被恐怖分子撞毁时他们正
在做什么。甚至那
个日期
——
2001
年
9
月
11
日——对大多数美国人来说都
有含义。
这是凯特·史密斯永远不会忘记的一天。她记得当时（自己）正在两座塔楼
不远的办公室工作。
“我的朋友大喊着一架飞机刚
刚撞上了世贸大楼！我开始
不相信，
但接着我往窗外看，
意识到那是真的
。我是那么害怕以至于我几乎不
能清楚地想起那之后的事。

Do
You Remember What You Were Doing?

People often remember
what
they
were doing when they heard the
news of important events in
history. In
America, for example, many people remember what
they were doing on April 4, 1968.
This
was an important event in American history. On
this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed.
Although some people may not remember
who killed him, they remember what they were doing
when they heard the news.
Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was
a school pupil at that time. “It was a bright,
sunny day,”
Robert remembers. “We were
having fun in the playground when the
sc
hool bell rang. Our teacher
said, ‘Dr. King died just 10 minutes
ago.’ We were completely surprised!” School closed
for the
day, Robert and his friends
walked home in silence.
More recently,
most Americans remember what they were doing when
the World Trade Center in
New York was
taken down by terrorists. Even the date-September
11, 2001-has meaning to most
Americans.
This was a day Kate Smith will never
forget. She remembers working in her office near
the two
towers. “My friend shouted that
a plane just hit
the World
Trade Center! I didn’t believe him at
first, but then I looked out the window
and realized that it was true. I was so scared
that I could
hardly think clearly after
that.”

愚公一直尝试而

安娜：我还是不赞同你的观点。
我以
