（1）The Good Man and the Bad Man

There are two men. They are very different. One is good and one is bad.

One day the good man goes walking in the woods.

He takes some steamed buns with him. He is hungry, so he takes a bun out of his pocket. It drops on the ground and rolls away. The good man looks everywhere.

He cannot find his bun. But he hears a strange little sound.

The good man takes another bun out of his pocket.

He lets it drop on the ground and roll away. He hears the sound again.

The good man follows the sound. He sees a little squirrel.

"Thank you for the delicious buns," says the little squirrel.

"You are welcome." says the good man.

"Because you have such a good heart, I have a present for you," says the little squirrel. The squirrel shows the good man two boxes. One is big and one is little.

"Which one do you want?" asks the squirrel.

"Give me the little one," says the good man.

He takes the box and goes home happily. The good man shows the box to his wife. They open it, and it is full of diamonds and gold.

The bad man hears about the magic box. He wants a box, too.

So he brings some dirty buns from the garbage and puts them in his pocket.

He goes walking in the woods. He drops a dirty bun on the ground and it rolls away. He hears a little sound. The bad man drops another dirty bun on the ground and it rolls away.

He hears the sound again. The bad man follows the sound. He sees a little squirrel. "These buns are terrible!" says the squirrel.

"Just give me a box," says the bad man.

The squirrel shows the bad man two boxes. One is big and one is little.

"Give me the big one," says the man. He takes the big box and goes home.

The bad man shows the box to his wife. They open it and it is not full of diamonds and gold. Ugly ghosts come out. The bad man and woman run away and are scared to death.

（2）The Ice Cream Touch

Tommy loved ice cream. He ate ice cream every day.

He couldn't bear to live without ice cream.

One day. Tommy met a vanilla ice cream-colored rabbit in the woods.

"I have magic power. I can give you one wish," said the rabbit.

"Really? May I? " Tommy was surprised. "Yes," said the rabbit.

" I wish everything I touch would be ice cream," Tommy said.

"Good. This is a magic pill. After you eat it, your wish will come true," said the rabbit. The next morning, Tommy took the pill. He wondered what would happen next. He touched his red pillow. It became ice cream.

He took a bite, he found it was delicious!

Tommy was very excited. He touched all the things in his room.

Now he had an ice cream bed, an ice cream quilt, and an ice cream desk.

"The magic is real!" he shouted.

He touched his white pants and red shirts. They became ice cream!

Now Tommy was a little upset. He couldn't get dressed. He started to cry.

Guess what? They were ice cream tears.

Then Tommy heard a sound.

It was Mimi, his pure white little cat.

Mimi was Tommy's best friend. Tommy cuddled his cat.

"Oh, no!" His best friend also became ice cream.

At that moment, the vanilla ice cream-colored rabbit showed up.

The rabbit looked at all the ice cream and asked, "What happened? You look so sad," Tommy cried louder.

"Please help me. I don't want any ice cream! I just want my cat back!"

"Well, OK," said the rabbit,

"Now I will give you another wish. Touch things with your right hand and they will return to their original form."

Tommy stopped crying.

He touched Mimi with his right hand. Mimi was pure white again and leaned against him. Tommy was so happy!

Then he touched all his things. Very soon, there was no more ice cream.

Now Tommy still loved ice cream.

He still ate ice cream every day, but he made a wish in his heart:

"I wish I never see that vanilla ice cream-colored rabbit ever again!"

（3）Footprints

Lionel was sitting in the kitchen reading a book.

Louise came in holding a jar of tadpoles.

She slowly climbed the stairs and put the tadpoles in her room.

"There," she said. "Safe and sound."

When she turned around, she saw muddy footprints on the rug.

She followed them down the stairs and through the hall to the kitchen.

"Lionel," she shouted, "why didn’t you tell me my sneakers were dirty?" Lionel looked up. "I wasn’t watching," he said. Louise sighed.

"I’ll have to clean this up fast. Father and Mother will be home soon. They are just across the street."

She filled a pail with soap and water. Then she got the mop and the sponge.

Lionel watched her. He knew how Louise must feel. It was not a good feeling. "I’ll help you," he said.

"Really?" said Louise. "Thanks. I’ll do the kitchen. You start in the hall."

Lionel scrubbed the carpet. The footprints spread into brown smudges. Lionel rubbed harder. The smudges got bigger.

Louise finished in the kitchen. She came out to see how Lionel was doing.

"Arrrgh!" she screamed.

"Well, I’m not done yet," said Lionel.

"I can see that," said Louise.

She took the sponge from Lionel. Then she rubbed really hard.

She squeezed the dirty sponge into the pail again and again.

Lionel got fresh water from the kitchen three times.

When they finished the last footprint, Louise let out a deep sigh. Then she turned around. "Oh no!" she cried. "Look at the wall!"

Lionel looked. His fingerprints were everywhere.

" I’ll get more water," he said quickly.

"No, no," said Louise. "Don’t move."

She ran for some towels and fresh water. Then she scrubbed and cleaned and scrubbed some more.

Lionel held the dirty towels.

Finally she was done. Louise slumped into a chair.

"Where should I put the towels?" Lionel asked.

" I’ll take them," said Louise. "Why don’t you go out and play?"

"Are you sure?" Lionel asked.

Louise nodded. "I’m sure. I’m positive! Thanks for your help, Lionel. But, please…Go!" "Okay," he said.

He was glad he had helped Louise. Maybe he would try it more often.

Passages for Reading

1. Smoking

It is almost known to all that smoking is bad for people's health. Scientific research show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The World Health Organization says diseases linked to smoking kill at least two million five-hundred-thousand persons each year.

Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually

becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do.

Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World "No Tobacco Day" is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking.

2. My First Job

Before I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day, I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.

In a great hurry, I didn't hear clearly the head waiter's instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other. So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant, I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in!

Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience.

3. Money

Money is what everybody desires. It can be used to buy food, clothes, books, bicycle, furniture and many other things people need or want.

Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life. With money, they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want. With money, they can buy a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to put on, and a nice bicycle to ride. And with money, they can employ attendants to serve them. In a word, money can make people comfortable and bring them happiness.

However, money is also the source of all crimes and brings them misery. Since money is so tempting, quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray. By hook or by crook, they try to make money. To get more money, they gamble, swindle, steal, rob or do many other evil things, for "money makes the mare go". As a result, money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds.

Of course money is useful and desirable, yet we should make money in proper way and spend

our money on proper things.

4. My View on Opportunity

Different people have different views on opportunity. It is held that there are few opportunities. But it is also held that there are opportunities everywhere.

Those who hold the first opinion think that there are too many people and there is always an intense competition for limited opportunities. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that if one is not prepared, he can hardly have any opportunities: however, if one is prepared, he can have a lot of opportunities.

As to me, I agree with the latter. Admittedly, there is really an intense competition for limited opportunities, but it is not to say the one can't create opportunities himself. In most cases opportunities are created by people themselves. For example, many people lost their jobs in recent years. Some people wait for opportunities in vain. However, others create opportunities themselves and get self-employed. Eventually they become employers themselves.

Therefore, to some extent, one can take his destiny into his own hands.

5. Job-hopping

Different people have different views on job-hopping. Some people would like to always engage in one work because they think that if one sticks to one work, he will be quite familiar and skillful with the work. However, others would like to change jobs constantly because they consider it fashionable to do so and besides they think they can get different work experiences.As to me, I am in favor of the former group of people's attitude. I think that if one always works in one field, he can accumulate a lot of experience in that field which in turn will further improve his work. Therefore he will become an expert in that field. However, if one hops from one job to another, he can never amass experience in one field. Although he can get different work experiences, he can't make use of these experiences in one particular work. Therefore, he will always be a jack-of-all-trades.

In conclusion, if one wants to be an expert in one field, he should not hop from one job to another.

After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.

Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.

第三天：A MODEL STUDENT 模范學(xué)生

Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not.So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.

However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. Firstly, he must do his best to obtain knowledge.

A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.

你介意被稱為壞學(xué)生嗎？當(dāng)然不。就我所知，每個(gè)人都打算做模范學(xué)生。

然而，做模范學(xué)生卻不容易。第一，他必須盡力獲得知識(shí)（求知）。一個(gè)沒(méi)有足夠知識(shí)的人是不會(huì)成功的。第二，他必須記住促進(jìn)健康。只有強(qiáng)壯的人才能做大事。第三，他應(yīng)該接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，沒(méi)有人會(huì)考慮和他交朋友的。

第四天：HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何獲得快樂(lè)

There is no doubt thathappiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points. Firstly, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.

Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.

無(wú)疑的快樂(lè)是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒(méi)有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無(wú)意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂(lè)，你須注意下面兩點(diǎn)。

健康是快樂(lè)的要訣。唯有身體強(qiáng)壯的人才能享受人生的樂(lè)趣。

快樂(lè)在于知足。一個(gè)不滿于現(xiàn)狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。

第五天：BOOKS 書(shū)籍

As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.

Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.

如眾所周知，書(shū)籍教我們學(xué)習(xí)人生，真理，科學(xué)以及其它許多有用的東西。它們?cè)黾游覀兊闹�識(shí)，擴(kuò)大我們的心胸并加強(qiáng)我們的品格。換句話說(shuō)，它們是我們的良師益友。這是為什么我們的父母終是鼓勵(lì)我們要多讀書(shū)的理由。

讀書(shū)是一好事，但我們必須多加注意書(shū)的選擇。不錯(cuò)，我們能從好書(shū)中獲得益處。然而，壞書(shū)卻對(duì)我們有害無(wú)益。

第六天：A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 鄉(xiāng)村游記

One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.

While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful).

When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door. 有一個(gè)星期日，我母親叫我?guī)�小弟弟去鄉(xiāng)村游歷。她吩咐我要好好照料他。

當(dāng)我們沿著道路行走的時(shí)候，太陽(yáng)燦爛地照耀著，微風(fēng)輕輕地吹著。我們看見(jiàn)美麗的花兒對(duì)我們微笑著，并聽(tīng)見(jiàn)鳥(niǎo)兒在樹(shù)上唱著悅耳的歌曲，風(fēng)景實(shí)十分美麗。

當(dāng)我們感覺(jué)到疲倦的時(shí)候，我們就回家了。我們看見(jiàn)母樣正在門(mén)口等候我們。

第七天：BE PATRIOTIC 要愛(ài)國(guó)

It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.

How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.

要使國(guó)家富強(qiáng)是每個(gè)公民的責(zé)任。為了達(dá)到此目的，必須愛(ài)國(guó)。我認(rèn)為這是一條不易的定理。

一個(gè)學(xué)生如何才能愛(ài)國(guó)呢？我發(fā)覺(jué)答復(fù)很簡(jiǎn)單明了。他必須用功讀書(shū)并積儲(chǔ)知識(shí)以便將來(lái)服務(wù)國(guó)家。如果每個(gè)學(xué)生能按照我所說(shuō)的去做，國(guó)家一定會(huì)富強(qiáng)。

第八天：THE VALUE OF TIME 愛(ài)惜時(shí)光

An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money by work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.

Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting timeis equal towasting your life.

英國(guó)有句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)，時(shí)間就是金錢(qián)。我認(rèn)為這是不對(duì)的。為什么？因?yàn)槲覀兇蠹叶贾�道我們能夠用工作賺錢(qián)，但無(wú)論如何卻無(wú)法把時(shí)間爭(zhēng)取回來(lái)�；�于此種理由，我們可以說(shuō)時(shí)間比錢(qián)錢(qián)更寶貴。

許多人不知愛(ài)惜時(shí)光。這確實(shí)是可惜的。我們必須記住浪費(fèi)時(shí)間等于浪費(fèi)生命。

第九天：WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 為什么我們要學(xué)英文

If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.

In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.

In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.

如果你要問(wèn)我們?yōu)槭裁次覀円獙W(xué)英文。我的答復(fù)很簡(jiǎn)單明了�，F(xiàn)在讓我來(lái)把我的理由一一列舉在下面： 英文已成為一種國(guó)際語(yǔ)言。如果你通曉它，你可以環(huán)游世界不會(huì)被人誤解。

大多數(shù)有價(jià)值的書(shū)籍，報(bào)紙和雜志都是用英文寫(xiě)的。如果你希望獲得知識(shí)，你必須學(xué)習(xí)英文。 第十天：MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日

Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.

The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.

Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say ―Good-bye‖ to one another.

昨天是我生日，所以有幾位我的同班同學(xué)送我禮。母親給我準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)茶會(huì)。我邀請(qǐng)他們都前來(lái)參加。 茶會(huì)下午六點(diǎn)半開(kāi)始。有冷飲和點(diǎn)心。我們又吃又談?dòng)中ΑＮ覀冇X(jué)得是世界上最快樂(lè)的人。 時(shí)間過(guò)得很快。轉(zhuǎn)瞬間，墻上的鐘敲九點(diǎn)了。我們不得不互道再見(jiàn)。

第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日

Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.

We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.

我們?cè)S多人終是把星期日毫無(wú)目的地消度掉。這確實(shí)是十分可惜。我們很少能從星期日的寶貴時(shí)光中獲得益處。雖然星期日是被指定為一個(gè)休息的日子，但是我們卻應(yīng)好好利用它。

我們知道我們學(xué)校的功課通常是不夠的。我們應(yīng)時(shí)常利用星期日來(lái)閱讀參考書(shū)。如此我們的知識(shí)就會(huì)增加了。此外，我們必須從事運(yùn)動(dòng)或郊游以便強(qiáng)壯我們的身體。

第十二天：HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 誠(chéng)為上策

There is an English proverb which says (saying) ―Honesty is the best policy.‖ It signifies the importance of honesty.

What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.

英國(guó)有一句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)―誠(chéng)為上策‖。它說(shuō)明了誠(chéng)的重要性。

誠(chéng)的益處是什么？如果你對(duì)他人誠(chéng)實(shí)，他們也會(huì)對(duì)你誠(chéng)實(shí)作為報(bào)答。當(dāng)你憂悉的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)安慰你。當(dāng)你是處在困難中的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)幫助你。

無(wú)法在這里數(shù)述不誠(chéng)實(shí)的害處。一言以蔽之，一個(gè)不誠(chéng)實(shí)的人會(huì)被人看輕的而且被看作為一個(gè)公敵。 第十三天：HOW EXERCISE HELPS 運(yùn)動(dòng)的利益

If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.

Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.

Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.

如果我們的身體不強(qiáng)壯，我們做事的精神一定會(huì)十分遲鈍。而且同時(shí)，我們也缺少足夠的精力來(lái)讀書(shū)。疾病只為侵擊體弱的人而不是強(qiáng)壯的人。

為什么我們的身體會(huì)不強(qiáng)壯呢？因?yàn)槲覀儾蛔⒁膺\(yùn)動(dòng)�；�于此種理由，我們學(xué)生必須時(shí)常在運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)做不同種類的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

運(yùn)動(dòng)幫助我們強(qiáng)壯身體并避免疾病。它也教我們合作，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)的運(yùn)動(dòng)都是團(tuán)體游玩的。 第十四天：THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益處

I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite (extremely) simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.

In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see （因?yàn)橛茫╫nly）開(kāi)頭，主動(dòng)詞須顛倒）things outside our home town.

In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies. In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling.

我對(duì)旅行終是感覺(jué)有趣。我的理由非常簡(jiǎn)單時(shí)了。如果任何人對(duì)我的觀點(diǎn)不滿意的話，我將對(duì)他的想法會(huì)大大吃驚。

旅行增加我們的知識(shí)。只有藉旅行我們可以看到我們故鄉(xiāng)以外的東西。

旅行對(duì)我們的健康有益。當(dāng)我們旅行的時(shí)候，我們通常運(yùn)動(dòng)我們的身體。

第十五天：HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一個(gè)好公民

My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the (my) country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.

The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to (must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.

His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong (powerful).

我的志向是做一個(gè)好公民以便能給國(guó)家效力。然而，做一個(gè)好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有許多責(zé)任要盡。

一個(gè)好公民第一件責(zé)任是愛(ài)他的國(guó)家。他須準(zhǔn)備為國(guó)家犧牲自己的生命。

他第二件責(zé)任是服從法律并且?guī)椭�政府維持治安。如果人人都能這樣做的話，國(guó)家必定富強(qiáng)。

第十六天：THE NATIONAL FLAG 國(guó)旗

it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. Why? Because the national flag is the symbol of a (the) country. To respect it means to respect the country. In other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.

In school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day. Then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to (must) stand before it and sing the national anthem. It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.

尊敬國(guó)旗是每個(gè)公民的責(zé)任（義務(wù)）。為什么？因?yàn)閲?guó)旗是國(guó)家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬國(guó)家。換句話說(shuō)，如果一個(gè)人愛(ài)國(guó)，他必須愛(ài)國(guó)旗。

在學(xué)校里，通常每天定時(shí)要升旗。那時(shí)，校長(zhǎng)，老師，教職員學(xué)生教師將恭敬地站在它前面并且唱國(guó)歌。參加此項(xiàng)儀式確實(shí)非常有意義。

第十七天：THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性

It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country. At present (Nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education. Taiwan is an exception as well not.

我們不可能使我們的國(guó)家富強(qiáng)而不發(fā)展教育。為什么？因?yàn)榻逃�給予人民知識(shí)并教他們?nèi)绾纬蔀楹霉�民以便能為�?guó)家效力。難怪，有人說(shuō)教育決定一個(gè)國(guó)家的進(jìn)步，繁榮與文化。

現(xiàn)在世界大多數(shù)的國(guó)家都在實(shí)施強(qiáng)迫教育。所有各類人民不論貧富都必須接受教育。臺(tái)灣也不例外。 第十八天：INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉

It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
