　　1. Pupils in China
　　
　　On Tuesday, October 4, Mr. Goff visited our class. He is Karen's dad, and he just got back from a business trip to China.
　　
　　He has many pictures of busy cities and beautiful mountains. His pictures are worthseeing. Mr. Goff came to our class to tell us what life is like in China.
　　
　　We learned that pupils in China went to school six days a week in the past but now they have a rest at weekends. They write with 2,000 characters(字) instead of 26 letters. Each character is a complete word. They also review their lessons. After school, pupils play basketball and volleyball and ride bikes. They do the samethings 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 about pupils in China.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　中国的小学生
　　
　　10月(October)4日星期二(Tuesday)．高夫先生来到我们班。他是克伦的爸爸．他去中国(China)商务旅行(business trip)刚回来。
　　
　　他有很多图片——繁忙的(busy)城市和美丽的山川(mountains)。他的图片值得一看(be worth seeing)。高夫先生来我们班为我们讲述中国人的生活。
　　
　　我们得知中国的小学生(pupil)在过去(in the past)是每周上六天课，但现在他们是在周末(at weekends)休息了。他们书写(write)2000个汉字而不是(instead of) 26个字母(letter)。每个(each)汉字是一个完整的字(complete word)。他们也复习(review)功课。放学后，小学生们打篮球和排球还骑自行车。他们和我们做一样的(the same)事情。
　　
　　高夫先生说一位来自中国的生意人不久要来拜访他。我们将邀请(invite)这个人来我们班。那样(in that way)，他就可以给我们讲述更多关于中国小学生的事情了。?
　　
　　2. Say it with Flowers(1)
　　
　　Young men often give flowers to young women when they are in love. The tradition may have come from Turkey(土耳其).
　　
　　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 the street left the basket beside the door of that person.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　花语寄情(1)
　　
　　恋爱中(be in love)的年轻男士经常(often)送花(flower)给女友，这个传统(tradition)可能来自(come from)土耳其。
　　
　　18世纪的土耳其，热恋中的人相互赠送装满奇怪(strange)物品的篮子，这种做法在当时很流行(popular)。篮子(basket)被秘密地(secretly)送给接收篮子的人(person)。通常(usually)，由街上卖花或水果(fruit)的老婆婆把篮子送到那人的门旁边(beside the door)。?
　　
　　3. Say It with Flowers (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.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　花语寄情(2)
　　
　　这些篮子里包括(include)许多种礼物(many kinds of gifts)：花、石头(stone)、蜡烛(candle)等。每样东西都有特殊的含义(special meaning)。篮子接收者想出(work out)每件物品所暗藏(hide)的信息(message)，然后就开始渐渐地(little by little)理解(understand)赠送者的真实感情(true feelings)。?
　　
　　4、. 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 pure(纯洁).”Pink carnations (康乃馨) meant,“My love for 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.
　　
　　【汉翻译】
　　
　　花语寄情(3)
　　
　　这种赠送礼物传递秘密信息的示爱方式迅速传(spread)到其他国家(country)，但是，随着时间的流逝，只有送花的传统保持(remain)了下来。
　　
　　花把男士心(heart)中的感情传递给女士。每种花都有不同的含义。例如(for example)，桔(orange)树上开的花表示，“你美丽又纯洁”。粉红色(pink)的康乃馨表示，“我对你的爱是热烈的”。另一方面(on the other hand)，黄玫瑰(yellow rose)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，人们编制出很多关于花的词典(dictionary)。但是，对于每一种花的含义，不是所有的词典都能达成一致(agree on)。因此，人们在送花时必须谨慎选择(choose)。
　　
　　到了19世纪80年代，花语寄情已经不流行，写信成为更直接的(direct)示爱方式。如今(today)，花仍被认为(consider)是一种可爱的礼物，但以前每一种花的特定含义已经没有了。
　　
　　5. Learning by Doing and Going
　　
　　Many of my classmates think they are  forced to go to school. They say they are only interested in 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(晶形) in a bottle by using salt in water. Another time we watched how baby chicks are hatched(孵出).
　　
　　We also take exciting field trips for science. We went to a museum and saw huge dinosaurs(恐龙) 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 and go on field trips. That’s why science is my favorite subject.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　通过做与行学习
　　
　　我的许多同学认为他们是被强迫(force)去上学的，他们说只对玩感兴趣。但我喜欢上学，我最喜欢的学科(subject)是科学(science)。我喜欢科学是因为做实验(experiment)和野外(field)旅行令人兴奋(exciting)。
　　
　　上科学课时，我们在实验室(lab)做许多令人兴奋的实验。有～次，我们利用水中的盐(salt)在一个瓶子(bottle)里做晶形。还有一次，我们观察小鸡(chick)是怎样被孵化出来的。
　　
　　为了学习科学，我们还进行令人兴奋的野外旅行。我们去了一个博物馆(museum)，看到了巨大的恐龙还有微小的(tiny)蝴蝶(butterfly)。在植树节，我们去了一个森林(forest)并收集树叶(collect leaves)。
　　
　　玩耍很好，但我宁愿做实验(would rather do experiments)以及去野外旅行。那就是我最喜欢科学课的原因。?
　　
　　6. Jane Came Home Too Late
　　
　　Jane got home late at night. She was going to knock at the door. Just then it opened.Her father was standing by the door. He was a tall man with white hair.“Come in,”he said“I am getting cold.”Jane went in. Her mother was waiting in the room. Her mother was a short woman. She was sitting on the sofa, and looked pale. Her father closed the door.
　　
　　“Well,”he said,“Where have you been? You promised not to stay out beyond 11 o'clock. It's one o'clock now.”
　　
　　“It's only a quarter to one.”
　　
　　“That doesn't make any difference. You should have come home earlier”her father replied angrily.
　　
　　“We've been very worried about you,”said her mother.
　　
　　“I'm sorry,”Jane said，“I was at a party. I didn't notice the time.”
　　
　　“You've got a watch, ”said her father，“Your mother and I have waited for a long time. We didn't know where you were.”
　　
　　“I can look after myself,”replied Jane，“I'm not a baby any more.”
　　
　　That is a situation that we often see in our life. Please do not let your parents worryabout you again!
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　简回家太晚
　　
　　简在深夜(late at night)才回家。她正要敲门，门开(open)了。她的父亲正站在门旁。他是高(tall)个子，头发(hair)都白了。“进来吧，”他说，“我都觉得冷了。”简进了家。她的母亲正在房间(room)里等她。她母亲个子很小，正坐在沙发(sofa)上，看上去脸色苍白(pale)。简的父亲把门关上了。
　　
　　“那么，你上哪去了？”父亲闷道，“你答应(promise)在外面不超过(beyond)11点的．现在都1点了。”
　　
　　“差一刻钟(quarter)到1点”。
　　
　　“那没什么差别(it doesn't make any difference)．你应该早(early)点回家的”，父亲生气的说。
　　
　　“我们都非常担心(worried)你.”母亲说。
　　
　　“我很抱歉，”简回答，“我参加了一个聚会(party)。我没有注意到(notice)时间。”
　　
　　“可你戴着手表(watch)”，父亲说，“你妈妈和我等了那么长时间。我们不知道你在哪里。”
　　
　　“我可以照顾(look after)自己”，简回答道，“我又不是小孩了。”
　　
　　这是在我们生活中经常看到的一个情形(situation)。请不要再让你的父母为你担心(worry about you)了！?
　　
　　7. 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 questions to trouble me. Do people in prison celebrate festivals?Why are dogs'noses always wet? Why are women and men's shoe sizesdifferent? ...
　　
　　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(迷惑的).“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 birth 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 go through red lights?”
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　我儿子的问题
　　
　　自从我儿子三岁起，他就一直在问我“为什么”，他要对一切事情刨根问底。为什么天空(sky)是蓝色的(blue)?为什么会有云朵(cloud)?为什么我不能去外面？为什么我必须要对人友好？无论如何(anyway)，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(be interested in)，他有更?多的问题要麻烦我了。在监狱(prison)里的人庆祝(celebrate)节日(festival)吗？狗的鼻子(nose)为什么总是湿润的(wet)? 女人和男人的鞋码(shoe size)为什么不一样呢？……
　　
　　这几天，这个孩子对生命是怎么回事感兴趣了，因此我从图书馆(library)借(borrow)书并准备(prepare)了他可能(might)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，尽管问好了，”我说，“没有愚蠢的(stupid)问题（问什么都行）。”
　　
　　“好吧，假设(suppose)我结婚了(married)，”他带着羞愧(with shame)说，“我的妻子要生小孩了，我必须赶紧(rush)将她送到医院，对吗？”
　　
　　“是的，”我微笑着说，并鼓励(encourage)他继续问他的问题。
　　
　　然后他问道，“那我能闯红灯(go through)吗？”
　　
　　8. I Did a Silly Thing
　　
　　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.”
　　
　　Dad 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 toconnect to Part D. It was easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G，I'd made a real mess(混乱) 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.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　我做了一件傻事
　　
　　几年前，我们搬到这座城市时，我对肥皂(soap)箱(box)赛车比赛(race)产生了兴趣。就是在那时我发现(discover)了“开始做某件事要比完成它容易地多(far easier)”（即“开始容易结束难”）的道理。
　　
　　爸爸买了一套工具（A set of tools）要给我做一辆赛车(racing car)。我是急不可耐，然后有一天，爸爸在上班(be at work)时，我决定让我的小车转起来。我看着图纸(drawing)。对自己说，“都德，你可以做到。”我拿出了爸爸的工具箱，接着就开始造车了。零件A适合(fit)零件B。零件C连接(connect)到零件D就有点难度。零件E很容易安装(fix)。到我开始零件G时，我已经把事情弄的一团糟。我真的后悔(regret)做了这么一件傻(silly)事。
　　
　　这次经历(experience)让我学到了什么呢？现在我知道了在我开始做某事之前，我应该知道该如何完成它。?
　　
　　9. Snakes
　　
　　Today I read a book about snakes. I found some interesting facts, especially somesurprising 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, the world would probablybe filled with rats and mice.
　　
　　You probably didn’t know that snakes smell with their noses and their tongues.Some snakes are even longer than an elephant or a giraffe!
　　
　　This book made me think a lot about snakes. Most snakes don't hurt people, but some are dangerous. I'm thinking if I saw a snake, would I know if it was dangerous?
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　蛇
　　
　　今天我读(read)了一本关于蛇(snake)的书。我发现其中有一些有趣的事实，尤其(especially)是一些令人吃惊的(surprising)事实。你知道吗？一些大蛇很强壮(strong)足以杀死一头猪或一只山羊(goat)。所有的蛇都吃动物。如果没有(without)蛇，这个世界很可能(probably)充满了(be filled with)老鼠(rats and mice)。
　　
　　你很可能不知道蛇是用它们的鼻子和舌头(tongue)来闻气味(smell)的。有的蛇甚至比一头象(elephant)或一只长颈鹿(giraffe)还长！
　　
　　这本书让我想了很多关于蛇的事情。大部分蛇不伤害(hurt)人，但有些是危险的(dangerous)蛇。我在想如果我看到一只蛇，我是否会知道它是危险的？?
　　
　　10. A Call from the Secretary
　　
　　Mr. Young was a boss, and he worked hard. Seldom did he have a vacation. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she suggested to him taking a vacation. At last Mr. Young agreed. But she was afraid that he might bedisturbed by his company, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's secretary. Mrs. Young told her,“My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens，please don't disturb him with letters or telephones while we are away. Just wait until we get back.”
　　
　　Then on a pleasant morning, after Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, when the couple was having a picnic and eating their hamburger, Mr. Young received a phone call from his secretary. She said,“Something terrible has happened to your business, but I remember what Mrs. Young told me，so I'm not going to disturb you with it now while you're enjoying your vacation. Bye-bye!”
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　秘书的电话
　　
　　杨先生是个老板(boss)。他工作很辛苦，很少(seldom)休假(have a vacation)。杨夫人担心他这样工作下去会生病(get sick)．就建议(suggest)他去休假。最后，杨先生同意了。但杨夫人担心公司(company)有可能会打扰(disturb)他，因此，在他们出发前，扬夫人去会见了他丈夫(husband)的秘书(secretary)。她对秘书说：“我丈夫非常需要休息，所以我们不在的时候，无论发生了什么事，请不要打电话或写信打扰他。一切等我们回来再说。”
　　
　　于是，在一个令人愉快的(pleasant)早上，那是杨先生和夫人离开大约一周后，当这对夫妇(couple)正在野餐(picnic)，吃着汉堡包(hamburger)时，杨先生接到秘书的电话，她说：“您的生意出现了严重问题。但我记得(remember)杨夫人告诉我的话，所以在您享受(enjoy)假期之时，我就不打算打搅您了，再见(Bye-bye)!”?
　　
　　11. My Collection of Sea Shells
　　
　　Every summer my family goes to the beach. I dig in the sand and search for seashells(贝壳).
　　
　　I've collected many shells so far. They have different colors: orange, silver, purple,gray（灰色), brown ... Some are common, others are unusual. I have a shell which is like a bird's wing, and one of my shells is like a whale's eyes.
　　
　　Last year, my elder sister helped me put all my shells in my drawers and on mydesk. When I see them, I will remember the fun I have at the beach?.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　我的海贝收藏
　　
　　每年夏天我们家都去海滩(beach)。我在沙子(sand)里挖掘(dig)寻找(search for)海贝(sea shell)。
　　
　　到目前为止(so far)我已经收集了许多贝壳。这些贝壳颜色各异：桔色、银色(silver)、紫色(purple)、灰色、棕色(brown)……有些是常见的(common)贝壳，有些是不寻常的。我有一个像鸟(bird)翅膀(wing)的贝壳，还有一个贝壳像鲸(whale)的眼睛。
　　
　　去年，我姐姐(elder sister)帮我把所有的贝壳放进我的抽屉(drawer)以及我的书桌(desk)上。当我看到它们时，我就会想起我在海滩玩时的快乐。?

　　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.

　　不吃早餐，孩子们就不会快速(fast)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(habit)的孩子，可能要花更长的时间恢复身体(it may take them longer time to get well)。
　　
　　食物为身体(body)提供能量(provide energy)。没有食物，身体的运转(operation)就会慢下来(slow down)。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。?

　　大家都有送礼物的经历。适当的(proper)礼物有助于交流(communication)并表达(express)良好的祝愿（good wishes）。有时(sometimes)还能带来意想不到的(unexpected)效果(result)。但不恰当的(improper)礼物不仅(not only)不能表达心意，而且(but also)可能导致(result in)误会。送礼的艺术(art)需要更多的注意(attention)，尤其是与不同国家的朋友交往时。
　　
　　14. One Real Man
　　
　　In an ancient kingdom(王国), 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(陛下),”came the reply in a weak voice, “it is because before I left home my wife told me to keep out of crowds(人群). I don't dare to go against her.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　一个真正的男子汉

　　然后，他让遵循(follow)妻子命令(order)的男人站到大厅(hall)的左边(left side)，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(among)只有你独自一人(alone)站在了大厅的右边。”
　　
　　“陛下，”那个男人用虚弱的(weak)声音回答道，“这是因为离家前，我妻子交待我，不许扎堆。我不敢(dare)违背(go against)她的命令。”?
　　
　　15. Making Electricity
　　
　　Because of electricity(电), it is easy for us to turn on an electric lamp or a TV. But where does all that electricity come from?

　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　发电
　　
　　因为(because of)有电，打开(turn on)电灯（electric lamp）或电视很容易。可电是?从哪里来的呢？大部分发电厂通过煤炭(coal)、石油(oil)、天然气(natural gas)和核能来产生(produce)电能。还有一些发电厂则利用阳光、风(wind)、水甚至地热(heat from underground)来发电。?
　　
　　16. Dialogue: Where Is My Pet Dog?
　　
　　(L: Lisa, S: Sam)
　　
　　L: Ten years ago, I went on a tour to London with my pet dog.
　　
　　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(打手势) a waiter(服务员）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.

　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　对话(dialogue)：我的宠物狗在哪里？
　　
　　(L：丽萨Lisa，S：Sam山姆)

　　S：你玩的好(have a good time)吗？
　　
　　L：是的，玩的不错。有一天，令人劳累的(tiring)行程结束后，我带着我的狗进了一家餐馆(restaurant)。
　　
　　S：我觉得你应当先喂(feed)你的狗。
　　
　　L：是的，所以我给服务员打了个手势。那时我还不会说英语。因此我指向(point to)我的狗，然后作了一个“吃”的手势(gesture)，表示这只狗需要一些食物
　　
　　S：后来怎么了？
　　
　　L：那个服务员点点头(nod)就带着我的狗走开了。我很高兴因为我没费吹灰之力(without any difficulty)就让服务员明白了。但半个小时后，他端着个盘子(plate)回来了。

　　17. Why Shouldn't We Smoke?
　　
　　To begin with, smoking costs a lot of money. Smokers may also have to spendmore on medicine and doctor visits.? Another reason not to smoke is that it is bad for people who do not smoke, Secondhand smoke(二手烟) is a serious public healthrisk. 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 (哮喘). Smoking hurts a person's lungs(肺) , 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.
　　
　　【汉语翻译】
　　
　　为什么我们不应该吸烟？
　　
　　首先(be begin with)，吸烟(smoking)花费(cost)很多钱。吸烟者(smoker)可能还要花费(spend)更多的钱买药、看医生。
　　
　　不吸烟的另一个理由(reason)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(risk)。在不吸烟者面前(in front of)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(cause)严重的健康问题(problem)。例如，吸烟会让哮喘等疾病(illness)患者呼吸(breathe)更困难。吸烟伤肺，还会导致癌症(cancer)等疾病(disease)。
　　
　　所以，如果你不吸烟，那就不要开始。如果你吸烟，是该戒烟(give up smoking)的时候了。
