1Shumei has many pen-friends around the world. She likes writing to them and receiving their letters in return. She stated writing to her first pen-friend, Thomas Wright from Britain, when she was ten years old. They have been writing to each other for two years now. Shumei enjoys writing to people from other counties because she finds it very interesting to learn more about those counties and the different things. She hopes to visit her pen-friends some day, but she will continue writing to them and enjoying their friendship. She will also try to look for pen-friends from other counties such as Japan, China and France. Shumei有很多世界各地的笔友。她喜欢写信给他们，喜欢收到他们的回信。当她10岁时，开始给第一位来自英国的笔友Thomas Wright写信。他们互相写信至今已有两年了。Shumei之所以喜欢写信给外国人，是因为她觉得更多地了解那些国家和不同的事物是件很有趣的事情。她希望有一天去拜访她的笔友，但是她会继续写信给他们，分享他们的友谊。她也期待着来自外国的笔友，如日本，中国和法国的朋友。2 The boss found a boy in the stock room just standing around doing nothing. “How much do you get paid a week?” He asked the boy. The boy replied, “Twenty dollars.” Taking a twenty dollar bill out of his wallet, the boss gave it to the boy and said, “Here, take this. Now get out of here and dont come back.” As the boy walked out the door, the boss said to the manager, “How long has that lazy kid been working for us?” “He doesnt work for us,” replied the manager. “He just delivered a package.”老板在储藏室里看见一个男孩正站着，无所事事。他问这个男孩：“你一个星期得到多少报酬？”。这个男孩回答说：“20美元。”老板从他的钱包里拿出了20美元的钞票，给了这男孩，说：“收好了。现在，从这里滚出去，不要回来了”。当男孩走出门去，老板对经理说：“这么懒惰的孩子为我们工作多长时间了？”“他不适合为我们工作，” “经理回答说。 “他刚才来送包裹的。3“Peter has just come back from the shops,”said Mrs. James. “He wanted to buy some new football boots, but he wasnt 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 didnt 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. Its out a big problem because he doesnt 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 its 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。“他说店员给他看了不同的样式，但他都不喜欢。”“那么，彼得怎么办呢？”我问。“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。”4The 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。5Tommy 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, Tommys 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！6Long 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。7A 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。8In 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 youve 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。9Every 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 didnt 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。10Molly 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 didnt 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 Mollys house. She said to her friend, “Hi Molly, will you come to my house to play? Ive got a nice new game. ”Molly answered, “Ive sorry, Joan, but my mother wont let me play with you today, because your brother George has a bad cold, and she doesnt want me to get it, too.”“Oh, thats all right, Molly,” Joan answered quickly. “George isnt really my brother. Hes 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。”11“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 its violin.” “Ill play it every day, Daddy,” Sarah said. “Ill try very hard.” “All right,” her father said. “This is what Ill 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, “Im 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 fathers friend turned to him. “Youve spent a lot of money, but she still plays very badly,” he said. “Well, thats true,” her father said. “But since she started learning the violin Ive been able to buy five flats in this building very cheaply. In another six weeks Ill 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！”12When Mary was fourteen, her mother gave her a beautiful ring. It was a birthday present, and Mary was very pleased. But a week later, she was very sad, because when she was working in the kitchen, she lost the ring. She looked everywhere, but she couldnt find it. She even looked in the drain outside the kitchen, but the ring was not there. That evening her brother Tom was eating some cakes. “Who made these cakes?” he said. “They are excellent.”“I made them,” Mary said. She was pleased that her brother liked them. Mary liked cooking very much. “Are there any ?” tom started to ask. Then he stopped suddenly. He opened his mouth and took a ring out. “Where did this come from?” he asked. “This is a strange type of cake!” Mary was pleased. “My ring!” she said. She took it to the kitchen. She washed it and then went back and thanked her brother. “Im sorry you had a surprise,” she said, “but thank you very much for finding my ring. Ill cook some more cakes for you tomorrow as a reward.”Mary 14岁时，她的母亲给了她一个漂亮的戒指。这是一个生日礼物，Mary感到非常高兴。但一个星期之后，她很伤心，因为当她在厨房里工作时，她丢失去了戒指。她到处都找遍了，但她无法找到它。她甚至查看了厨房外的排水管道，但是戒指不在那儿。 那天晚上，她的兄弟Tom正在吃蛋糕。“这些蛋糕是谁做的？”他说，“太棒啦。” “我做的，” Mary说。她感到高兴的是她的哥哥喜欢这些蛋糕。Mary很喜欢烹饪。 “什么啊.？”Tom开始问。他突然停了。他张开他的嘴，取出了戒指。 “这是从哪里来的？”他问。 “这是一个奇异的蛋糕！” Mary很高兴。 “我的戒指！”她说。她拿着戒指进了厨房。她清洗一下，然后回来并向她的兄弟表示感谢。 “对不起，让你受惊了，”她说，“但是非常谢谢你帮我找到了戒指。为了表示感谢，明天我将为你多做一些蛋糕。” 13 Tom is a little boy, and he is only seven years old. One day he went to the cinema. It is the first time for him to do that. He bought a ticket and then went in. but after two or three minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again. After a few minutes he came out and bought a third ticket. Two or three minutes later he came out and asked for another ticket.

He works in his ordinary clothes. If he wears a uniform, robbers will know that he is a policeman. Then they will avoid him. To detect means to “find out”. A detective finds out who does bad things.
