The college admitted Steve when he was 15.The news was all over the small village.Not only he himself,but also his parent felt happy for this.They always fought alongside him.There was a bill along with the college notice, which upset them.The family was not rich at all;they had no radio, let alone a television.But they went all out to afford the higher education for him.After all, they had only one son.Fortunately, the college made allowances for Steve's situation and awarded him an allowance of five thousand dollars.When everything was all right, Steve went to college.In all, there were 30 students in his class.Steve learned a lot at class.He knew brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.Besides this, he knew sometimes hemp was used to alleviate pain.Also, he could read the Latin alphabet correctly.Steve liked all the subjects but history.He had heard enough such as “Britain in alliance with France once defeated a number of smaller countries.”, “Britain was an ally of America in both World Wars.They were allied countries.”, and so on.But allowing for the graduation, he still got A in every subject.The teacher allocated duties to all the students evry Monday, and Steve always finished his part first.So the teacher alleged that Steve was the most promising student in the class.一所學院在史蒂夫15歲時接受了他。這個消息遍及了村莊。不但他自己，而且他的父母都為此高興。他們總是與他并肩作戰。與大學通知書一起來的一張賬單讓他們心煩。這個家庭一點也不富裕，他們沒有收音機，更不用說電視了。但他們竭盡全力為兒子提供高等教育。畢竟，他們只有一個兒子。幸運的是，學員體諒史蒂夫的處境并發給他一項5000美元的津貼。所有事情都順利后，史蒂夫上學了。他的班上總共有30名學生。史蒂夫在課上學會了很多。他知道了黃銅是銅和鋅的合金。除此，他還知道有時候大麻用來減輕疼痛。還有，他可以無誤地讀出拉丁字母表。史蒂夫喜歡除了歷史以外的所有課程。他聽夠了什么“英國與法國聯盟曾經擊敗了許多小國家”“在兩次世界大戰中，英國是美國的一個同盟國，他們是同盟的國家”等等。但考慮到畢業，他的每門課都得了A。每周一老師給所有學生分配任務，史蒂夫總是第一個完成。因此老師斷言史蒂夫是班上最有前途的學生。

The government decided to build a bridge between a bleak island and downtown.Several companies bid for the contract.And one of them won.The workers stood on board, accepting the blessing from the priest.He bid them good luck.It’s springtime.Flowers were blooming(blossoming)all over the island.The engineer who took charge of the team was Dan.He wasn’t interested in biology so he chose technology.After they arrived, Dan took out a blank sheet of paper to calculate the expense.It would cost them more than one billion dollars to complete the project.The first work was to move a big rock.The tools were too blunt, so they decided to blast it.A bold worker boasted that he could do it well.But he made an awful blunder.The trees around the rock caught fire suddenly.The workers were unable to control the blaze.It’s a bloody accident that caused five people to be injured, including Dan.Dan bound the cloth around his head to stop bleeding.Then he took some bitter pills.After that, he drank some blend of whisky and wine together with some biscuits.The worker blushed when he saw Dan in the boiler room.But Dan didn’t scold him.Instead, they needed a bolt to fit the valve.According to a biography about Dan, we know finally they completed the project successfully.政府決定在一座荒涼的小島和市區之間建一座橋。幾個公司為競爭合同而投標。其中一家贏了。工人站在船上，接受來自牧師的祝福。他祝福他們好運。時值春天，整個島上的花兒正在開花。掌管隊伍的是工程師丹。他對生物學不感興趣，因此他選擇了工程學。他們到達之后，丹取出一張空白的紙來計算開支。要完成工程需要不只十億美元。首先的任務是移開一塊巨石。工具太鈍，他們決定炸開它。一個大膽的工人吹噓他能很好完成任務。但他犯了一個糟糕的大錯誤。巨石周邊的樹突然著起火來。工人們無法控制火焰。那是一場血腥的事故，包括丹在內有五人受傷。丹用布包扎頭部制止流血。接著他吃了些很苦的藥。然后他就著餅干喝了些威士忌和酒的混合物。那名工人在鍋爐房見到丹時臉紅了。但丹沒有責怪他，反而和他一起檢查現場。于是他們弄清了他們需要一個螺栓來固定閥門。根據一篇關于丹的傳記，我們知道他們最終順利完成了工程。B-5

Since last year, the agriculture in this village had boomed.The boughs of trees were loaded with fruit.The workers worked hard and got bonuses.John was one of them.His neighbor, Mrs.Morris, had a son who walked with the help of a brace.Even though, the boy liked to bounce up and down.The friendship formed a friendly bond between the two families.They’d like to discuss something like public bond sometimes.One day, when John was working, Mrs.Morris called him from a telephone booth.She was crying, “My son fell into the river!Please save him!” It sounded like a bomb exploding in John’s heart.He rushed to the bank.He was bound to find the boy.The river formed the boundary between the two countries.To pass across the border, one must go through customs.“Brace yourself for the danger!” some boring people tried to boycott his action.But John took off his boots and dived into the river.He showed great bravery in saving th drowning child and he succeeded.He held the boy to his bosom and went back.His dog came bounding to meet him.Mrs.Morris bowed as she appreciated him so much.She took out a brass box, in which there was a bottle of brandy made in France.It’s one of the most popular brands.It had a regular breadth of its bottom.Then Mrs.Morris bored a hole in the bottle cork to pull it out.After the meal, the mother said to the son, “Put the date in brackets on the paper.Do remember today, my boy.”

從去年說起，這個村莊的農業就迅速發展了。大樹枝上掛滿了水果。工人們努力工作并獲得獎金。約翰是其中一個。他的鄰居，莫里斯太太有一個靠托架幫忙走路的兒子。盡管如此，男孩還是喜歡上下彈跳。友誼在兩家之間形成了一個友好的結合。他們有時會喜歡談談公共債券什么的。一天，當約翰在工作時，莫里斯太太從一個電話亭給他打了一個電話。他哭著說：“我的兒子掉到河里去了，請救救他！”這話就像一顆炸彈在約翰心中爆炸了。他沖到河邊。他一定要找到這個孩子。河流是兩國的分界線。若想通過邊界的話，一定要過海關。“防備危險！”，一些討厭的人試圖聯合抵制他的行為。但約翰脫下長統靴跳入河流。他展現了他非凡的勇敢并成功的救起了男孩。他將孩子抱在胸口回去了。他的狗跳躍著迎接他。莫里斯太太向他鞠躬，她太感激他了。她取出一只黃銅盒子，里面有一瓶法國制造的白蘭地酒。那是一個非常有名的牌子，它的瓶底有著標準的寬度。接著莫里斯太太將瓶塞鉆了個孔將它拔出來。飯后，母親對兒子說：“把日子填到紙上的括號里。記住今天，我的孩子。”

It was a nice night.Stars were billiant in the clear night sky.A breeze blew over the garden.We just had chicken breast for supper.I was telling my families about my travel when Bill broke in with a story of his.He was sorry to arrive late because his car broke down.So he had to ride on a horse.Though his horse was of the best breed he had ever bred., the hundreds of miles' run left Bill out of breath.He pulled the brim of his hat down over his eyes then began.“A man loved a girl very much.On May 1,she would be his bride.But he was put into prison and her family broke off relations with him.He was locked at a room where the window was bricked up.On the last day of April, the man bribed a policeman to let him go free.Next, he and the other criminals broke into the armory and carried off 20 rifles.So a combat broke out unavoidably.The police tried to break up the crowd but failed.The criminals had little difficulty in breaking through the pass.They broke away from the prison successfully!...” In brief, the story was exciting.It made all of us catch our breath.那是一個很好的夜晚。星星在夜空中光輝燦爛。一陣微風吹過花園。我們剛吃過雞胸肉晚飯。我正在給家人講我的旅行的時候，比爾插嘴講了一個他知道的故事。他很抱歉他來遲了，因為他的車損壞了。于是他不得不騎馬。雖然他的馬是他飼養過的最好的品種，但好幾百英里的奔波也使比爾上起不接下氣。他把帽沿拉至眼簾然后開始講述：“一個男子非常愛一個女孩。5月1日，她將成為他的新娘。但他背關入監獄并且她的家人和他斷絕關系。他被鎖在一個窗戶被用磚堵死的房間。4月的最后一天，那個男子賄賂一名警員讓他出去。接著，她和其他的罪犯闖入了軍械庫拿走了20只來復槍。于是一場爭斗不可避免地爆發了。

There were three candidates for the presidential election campaign and finally Mr.Knox won.Right away, he called his wife up to inform her.Then he bought lots of candies for the children to celebrate the victory.At night, they went to a cafeteria to taste favorite cabbage.The next day, Mr.Knox put the calendar on the shelf.There were many problems that called for solutions.He intended to build more libraries on the campuses.The ministers were called up to discuss this.The proposal called forth a good deal of hostile criticism in the cabinet.The project needed a number of cables.They calculated the cost and at last the proposal was called off.Mr.Knox felt disappointed, and the worse was, his doctor told him that he had gotten cancer in his liver.So he cancelled all his appointments.He decided to call on a famous doctor who lived in Canada.His packages were delivered across the desert by camels..He crossed a lake in a canoe first then took a ship to sail on the canal.It was strange to see a cannon on the ship.Usually, Mr.Knox had his supper at the canteen.While staying in the passenger cabin, he would miss his family very much.總統選舉運動有三個候選人，最后諾斯克先生勝出了。他立刻打電話給他的妻子通知她。然后他買了許多糖果給孩子來慶祝勝利。晚上，他們一起去自助食堂去品嘗他們喜愛的卷心菜。第二天，諾克斯先生把日歷放在架子上。很多問題需要解決。他傾向于在校園里建更多的圖書館。大臣被召集來討論此事。這項提議在內閣引起了許多敵對的批評。這項工作需要大量的電纜。他們計算了花銷，最終提議被放棄了。諾克斯先生很失望，更壞的消息是，他的醫生告訴他說他已經的了肝癌。于是他取消了所有約會。他決定去拜訪住在加拿大的一位著名的醫生。他的行李用駱駝運輸穿過沙漠。他先乘獨木舟渡過一個湖泊然后乘船在運河上航行。在船上見到一座大炮真是很奇怪的事。通常，諾克斯先生在食堂吃晚飯。待在客艙的時候，他會非常想念他的家人。

This town had a temperate climate.On rainy days, most people would stay at home, listening to some classical music.When the weather cleared up, they would go out.Some youth even would climb the cliff.Some other young people would go to the circus.It had classic performances.The climax of the show was three cats using their sharp claws to draw pictures in the clay!Audiences clapped their hands in delight.But for Molly and Henry, the sister and the brother, the pleasure was to study.School education helped to civilize the people.It's one of the civil rights.And also, the government cited the Bible to claim that civilization was necessary.This morning, after clearing away the kitchen, they went to school.They wore civilian clothes like other students.The students in the school were classified by the subject they chose.Some students learned how to be a lawyer, how to face the clients and how to make every clause of the contract clear.Some focused on grammar.They must understand all kinds of clauses.Molly and Henry were in the debate class.Clarity of thinking was of greatest importance in a debate.In the class, the two sides clarified their contentions loudly.They were so serious that the two sides fought wlth each other.In the clash, Molly's necklace fell off because the clasp had broken.Henry picked it up and held Molly's hand in a firm clasp.It's a funny day!

這個小城氣候溫和。在雨天，多數人待在家里，聽聽古典音樂。天氣放晴后，他們會出門去。一些年輕人甚至會去爬懸崖。另一些年輕人會去馬戲團。那里有一流的演出。演出的高潮是三只小貓用它們鋒利的爪子在粘土上畫畫！觀眾們高興地拍手。但對莫麗和亨利兄妹來說，學習才是他們的決樂。學校教育使人們文明起來。教育是一項公民權。并且政府也引用圣經來主張文明是必要的。這天早上，收拾完廚房后，他們就上學去。他們像其他學生一樣穿著平民衣服。學校里的學生按他們選擇的科目分類。有的學生學習如何成為一名律師，如何面對委托人并且如何使合同上的每個條款都非常清楚。有些學生注重語法，他們必須理解各種從句。莫麗和亨利在辯論班上。在辯論中，思維的清晰是最重要的。在課上，兩方大聲地闡明他們的論點。他們如此認真，以至于雙方打了起來。在碰撞中，莫麗的項鏈掉在地上，因為鉤子壞了。亨利將它撿起來并緊握住莫麗的手。真是有趣的一天!

New York was a big commercial city.Many people commuted between home and offices everyday.Mr.Dodge and Mrs.Dodge know each other at a college committee.Both of them believed in communism and they communicated well.On that day the topic was, if the commonwealth should appoint a commission to find out why commodities cost so much.The chairman made a commonplace speech, which bored every commonsense audience.So a girl's compact speech cheered them up.The chairman's speech was hardly conparable with hers.The audiences made a comparative vote of the two speeches and the girl won.After graduation, Mr.Dodgebecame a salesman, receiving commissions on all sales he made.The girl was an architect.She had secured two commissions to design buildings.Love was poetically compared to flower.Mr.Dodge had considered her an ideal companion for himself.Having kept company with him for more than 2 years, she really loved him.Soon, they got married and had two children.The boy liked to draw a cicrl with compasses and the girl liked to swim in the swimming pool used in common.Sometimes the couple would work in community welfare deparment for free.If they were busy, the children would be committed to the care of an aunt.This family never booked the first-class compartment of the train.They weren't rich but were really happier by comparison.紐約是個很大的商業城市。每天許多人都乘車往返于家和辦公地點之間。道奇夫婦互相認識于大學里的一個委員會。他們兩人都信仰共產主義并且兩人交流得很好。那天的主題是聯邦是否需要指派一個委員會去弄清楚為什么商品會這么貴。主席做了一個陳腐的演講，讓每個有常識的聽眾都厭倦。于是一名女孩緊湊的演講讓他們精神振奮起來。主席的演講不可與她的演講比較。聽眾對兩個人的演講進行了比較性的投票，結果女孩勝出了。畢業后，道奇先生成為一名銷售員，提取銷售傭金。女孩是建筑師，她已經接到兩項委托來設計建筑。愛情在詩歌中被比作花朵。道奇先生已經將她當作自己理想的伴侶。而在與他交往兩年多后，女孩也確實愛他。很快，他們結婚了，并有了兩個孩子。男孩喜歡用圓規畫圓，女孩喜歡在共用游泳池游泳。有時，兩夫婦會在社區福利部門做義工。如果他們忙的話，他們把孩子交托給一位阿姨。這個家庭從不預訂一等的火車臥車包房。他們不富裕，但他們比較起來確實更快樂。

I saw a film last night.The film compressed ten years into two hours.Joseph was a chemist.We know a small baby has no concept of right and wrong.But Joseph wanted to inventr a conmpound to help babies to have good comprehension.The conception of thc plan occurred at a meeting of scientists.Joseph showed great interest concerning this plan.He was very seriously concerned with the problems involved.He concentrated all his attention on chemical research.No one could conceive of his hard work.But he concealed the research from his wife.So far as she was concerned, housework was more important.Everything went right except Jaseph must stop his work because of compulsory military service.He computed his losses at three months.So he worked harder after he went back.Eight years had passed before Joseph succeeded.He wrote a concise summary of his invention.A committee that comprised men of dif ferent views was sent to test his invention.They concluded that the compound really did work.A director of a big company tried to persuade Joseph to make some concession to sell the invention.But Joqeph had prepared to make no compromise.He'd like to give it to the public free.The newspaper made a comprehensive report of his deeds.A concert invited Joseph to make a speech.At the end of his speech, he said, ”In conclusion, let me take the opportunity to thank all of you for your support.“

A party consisted of ten conservatives.They were conscientious men.In consequence of their conscience, they worked constantly to raise people's consciousness on the conservation of natural resources.They said that the human being kept conquering nature and in consequence one day we would pay for the conquest at a considerable cost.It's conspicuous that forest was getting less and less.Consequently, every conscious person should give careful consideration to this problem.The ideas in their speeches were consistent.Analyzing their speech into its constituent parts, we knew that the strength of it consisted in the justice of it.Many people consented to support them.So their confidences were consolidated.The consensus of opinion at the latest meeting was that they would try to persuade the Congress to constitute some new constitutions,They were really considerate!

There are seven continents in the world.There's too great a consumption of alcohol in Europe.Mr.Keble was an alcoholic.He said he cared for his health but his actions contradicted his words.He constructed a wine cellar for himself.And he consumed a big container of alcohol a week.He was content with alcohol.His favorite was to enter drinking contests.On the contrary, Mrs.Keble disliked alcohol very much.She still loved Mr.Keble, but felt a touch of contempt.She contended that he should stop drinking.But he always contradicted her.They quarreled about this continually.One day when Mrs.Keble arrived at home, she found her husband sleeping on the floor.The wine had contaminated his shirt.So she contacted his consultant at once to consult with him about this.The consultant was contemporary with the Keble's.In contrast with the Keblet's, he was always calm.He watched and concluded that continuous drinking had made Mr.Keble thoroughly week.He suggested Mr.Keble make a contract with him.Mr.Keble read the contract and agreed with him.Later, Mr.Keble took a new kind of medicine his consultant gave to him every day.After much difficulty, he contrived to stop drinking!Can you guess the contents of that contract from the context? Its about the new medicine.The new medicine proved an important contribution toward Mr.Keble.世界有七大洲。在歐洲，酒的消費量驚人。基布爾先生是個酒鬼。他說他在意健康，但他的行為同他的話矛盾。他為自己建造了一個酒窖。并且他一周就要消費一大集裝箱的酒。他很滿足于酒精。他喜愛的事情是參加喝酒競賽。正相反，基布爾夫人非常不喜歡酒。她雖然還愛著基布爾先生，但對他有了一絲輕蔑。她堅決主張他要戒酒。但他總是反駁她。他們在這件事情上不斷地爭執。一天當基布爾夫人到家的時候，她發現丈夫睡在地板上。酒已經把他的襯衫弄臟了。于是她立刻聯系他的顧問醫生向他請教怎么辦。顧問醫生與基布爾夫婦是同時代的人。與他們成對比，他總是很鎮靜。他查看后下結論說持續的飲酒已經讓基布爾先生變得非常虛弱了。他建議基布爾先生與他簽訂一份合同。基布爾先生讀了合同之后同意了。后來基布爾先生每天吃一種顧問醫生給他的新藥。克服許多困難之后，他設法做到了戒酒!你能由上下文猜出那份合同的內容嗎?是關于那種新藥的。這種新藥證明對基布爾先生的健康有重要貢獻。

農歷八月十五，是我國傳統的中秋節，也是我國僅次于春節的第二大傳統節日。八月十五恰在秋季的中間，故謂之中秋節。我國古歷法把處在秋季中間的八月，稱為“仲秋”，所以中秋節又叫“仲秋節”。

中秋節是個古老的節日，祭月賞月是節日的重要習俗。古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的社制，民家也有中秋祭月之風，到了后來賞月重于祭月，嚴肅的祭祀變成了輕松的歡娛。中秋賞月的風俗在唐代極盛，許多詩人的名篇中都有詠月的詩句，宋代、明代、清代宮廷和民間的拜月賞月活動更具規模。我國各地至今遺存著許多“拜月壇”、“拜月亭”、“望月樓”的古跡。北京的“月壇”就是明嘉靖年間為皇家祭月修造的。每當中秋月亮升起，于露天設案，將月餅、石榴、棗子等瓜果供于桌案上，拜月后，全家人圍桌而坐，邊吃邊談，共賞明月。根據史籍的記載，“中秋”一詞最早出現在《周禮》一書中。到魏晉時，有“諭尚書鎮牛淆，中秋夕與左右微服泛江”的記載。直到唐朝初年，中秋節才成為固定的節日。《唐書·太宗記》記載有“八月十五中秋節”。中秋節的盛行始于宋朝，至明清時，已與元旦齊名，成為我國的主要節日之一。這也是我國僅次于春節的第二大傳統節日。

中秋節起源的另一個說法是：農歷八月十五這一天恰好是稻子成熟的時刻，各家都拜土地神。中秋可能就是秋報的遺俗。中秋節的傳說

中秋節的傳說是非常豐富的，嫦娥奔月、吳剛伐桂、玉兔搗藥之類的神話故事流傳甚廣。嫦娥奔月

相傳，遠古一個名叫后羿的英雄，射下九個太陽，并嚴令最后一個太陽按時起落，為民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和愛戴，娶了個美麗善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。后羿除傳藝狩獵外，終日和妻子在一起，人們都羨慕這對郎才女貌的恩愛夫妻。不少志士也慕名前來投師學藝，心術不正的蓬蒙也混了進來。

一天，后羿到昆侖山訪友求道，巧遇由此經過的王母娘娘，便向王母娘娘求得一包不死藥。據說，服下此藥，能即刻升天成仙。然而，后羿舍不得撇下妻子，只好暫時把不死藥交給嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥將藥藏進梳妝臺的百寶匣里，不料被小人蓬蒙看見了，他想偷吃不死藥自己成仙。

三天后，后羿率眾徒外出狩獵，心懷鬼胎的蓬蒙假裝生病，留了下來。待后羿率眾人走后不久，蓬蒙手持寶劍闖入內宅后院，威逼嫦娥交出不死藥。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的對手，危急之時她當機立斷，轉身打開百寶匣，拿出不死藥一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下藥，身子立時向天上飛去。由于嫦娥牽掛著丈夫，便飛落到離人間最近的月亮上成了仙 傍晚，后羿回到家，侍女們哭訴了白天發生的事。后羿既驚又怒，抽劍去殺惡徒，蓬蒙早逃走了，后羿氣得捶胸頓足，悲痛欲絕，仰望著夜空呼喚愛妻的名字，這時他驚奇地發現，今天的月亮格外皎潔明亮，而且有個晃動的身影酷似嫦娥。他拼命朝月亮追去，可是他追三步，月亮退三步，他退三步，月亮進三步，無論怎樣也追不到跟前。

后羿無可奈何，又思念妻子，只好派人到嫦娥喜愛的后花園里，擺上香案，放上她平時最愛吃的蜜食鮮果，遙祭在月宮里眷戀著自己的嫦娥。百姓們聞知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后，紛紛在月下擺設香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。從此，中秋節拜月的風俗在民間傳開了。吳剛折桂

相傳月亮上的廣寒宮前的桂樹生長繁茂，有五百多丈高，下邊有一個人常在砍伐它，但是每次砍下去之后，被砍的地方又立即合攏了。幾千年來，就這樣隨砍隨合，這棵桂樹永遠也不能被砍光。據說這個砍樹的人名叫吳剛，是漢朝西河人，曾跟隨仙人修道，到了天界，但是他犯了錯誤，仙人就把他貶謫到月宮，日日做這種徒勞無功的苦差事，以示懲處。李白詩中有“欲斫月中桂，持為寒者薪”的記載。玉兔搗藥

相傳月亮之中有一只兔子，渾身潔白如玉，故稱作“玉兔”。白兔拿著玉杵，跪地搗藥，成蛤蟆丸，服用此等藥丸可以長生成仙。久而久之，玉兔便成為月亮的代名詞。

中秋“賞月”種種

追月 香港人過了八月十五中秋，興猶未盡，還要在八月十六的夜晚再過一次，俗稱“追月”。十六的晚上，人們扶老攜幼，帶著帳篷燈具、美酒佳肴，來到海灘，聽濤賞月，吟詩弈棋，品酒談笑。此時，藍天碧海與月光燭光相映生輝，引人入勝。

行月 當月亮升起的時候，廣西侗族各村寨的群眾踏著月光來到山村開闊地，笙管齊鳴，載歌載舞。遠聽聲樂震天，近觀舞姿婆娑，恰似一個大舞臺飄在如水的月色里。望月 中秋之夜，月亮即將升起時，朝鮮族人民爭先爬上事先用木桿和松枝搭成的“望月”架。俗謂先看到月亮者可獲好運。爾后，人們敲起長鼓銅鑼，吹起洞簫，一起合跳《農家樂舞》。走月 流行于蘇州一帶。中秋之夜，婦女們相約出游，訪親會友，賞月觀花，此來彼往，絡繹不絕，直至夜深方散。

圓月 陜西長安一帶民間在中秋節這天，家家做團圓饃，中間放芝麻和糖等作料，放在鍋里烙熟，全家人一同食之，謂之“圓月”。

尋月 藏族同胞度中秋有水中“尋月”習俗。是日夜晚，青年兒童沿著河流，尋找倒映在水中的明月，直至夜深，方歸家吃團圓月餅。英語軟件

祭月 錫伯族于中秋夜，在庭院中設一供桌，上面擺上切開的西瓜及其他果品，然后全家人向月亮叩拜，請月神下凡，品嘗人間的瓜果。鄂倫春族也有類似習俗，祈求月神保佑，萬事如意。

乞月 中秋夜半之后，廣東東莞未婚的男青年三五成群地在月光下燃燒香燭，向月下老人祭拜。傳說，此刻是月老為凡間男女牽線做媒之時，月老可為虔誠的小伙子覓上一個美貌多情的伴侶。學英語軟件

照月 浙東民間有“照月”得子風俗。傳說，久婚不孕的婦女，在中秋月圓當空時，獨自坐于皎潔的月光之下，可以祈求月神賜福，受孕得子。各地中秋節的習俗

中秋佳節，人們最主要的活動是賞月和吃月餅了。但中國地緣廣大，人口眾多，風俗各異，中秋節的過法也是多種多樣，并帶有濃厚的地方特色。

在福建浦城，女子過中秋要穿行南浦橋，以求長壽。龍巖人吃月餅時，家長會在中央挖出直徑二三寸的圓餅供長輩食用，意思是秘密事不能讓晚輩知道。

廣東潮汕各地有中秋拜月的習俗，主要是婦女和小孩，有“男不圓月，女不祭灶”的俗諺。晚上，皓月初升，婦女們便在院子里、陽臺上設案當空禱拜。紅燭高燃，香煙繚繞，桌上還擺滿佳果和餅食作為祭禮。

江蘇省無錫縣中秋夜要燒斗香。香斗四周糊有紗絹，繪有月宮中的景色。也有香斗以線香編成，上面插有紙扎的魁星及彩色旌旗。

江西省吉安縣在中秋節的傍晚，每個村都用稻草燒瓦罐。待瓦罐燒紅后，再放醋進去。這時就會有香味飄滿全村。新城縣過中秋時，自八月十一夜起就懸掛通草燈，直至八月十七止。提高英語聽力

安徽省婺源中秋節，兒童以磚瓦堆一中空寶塔。塔上掛以帳幔匾額等裝飾品，又置一桌于塔前，陳設各種敬“塔神”的器具。夜間則內外都點上燈燭。績溪中秋兒童打中秋炮。中秋炮是以稻草扎成發辮狀，浸濕后再拿起來向石上打擊，使之發出巨響并有游火龍的風俗。火龍是以稻草扎成的龍，身上插有香柱。游火龍時有鑼鼓隊同行，游遍各村后再送至河中。四川省人過中秋除了吃月餅外，還要打粑、殺鴨子、吃麻餅、蜜餅等。

在北方，山東省慶云縣農家在八月十五祭土谷神，稱為“青苗社”。河北省萬全縣稱中秋為“小元旦”，月光紙上繪有太陰星君及關帝夜閱春秋像。河間縣人認為中秋雨為苦雨，若中秋節下雨，當地人則認為青菜必定味道不佳。我國有二十多個少數民族也過中秋節，但節俗各異。

壯族習慣于在河中的竹排房上用米餅拜月，少女在水面放花燈，以測一生的幸福，并演唱優美的《請月姑》民歌。仡佬族在節前的“虎日”，全寨合宰一頭公牛，將牛心留到中秋夜祭祖靈，迎新谷，他們稱為“八月節”。黎族稱中秋節為“八月會”或“調聲節”。屆時各集鎮舉行歌舞聚會，每村由一“調聲頭”（即領隊）率領男女青年參加。人員到齊后，大家互贈月餅、香糕、甜粑、花巾、彩扇和背心，成群結隊，川流不息。入夜便聚集在火旁，烤食野味，痛飲米酒，開展盛大的調聲對歌演唱，未婚青年趁機挑尋未來的伴侶。英語聽力軟件 中秋節吃毛芋

五華縣轉水鎮有一個奇特的傳統。每年中秋節晚上，鄉親們每家每戶都要蒸一鍋帶皮的芋頭，在賞月時，全家人先吃芋頭后吃月餅，并在剝芋皮時說“剝鬼皮”。據說這樣一能“避邪”，二是為了紀念人民起義。

傳說元朝末期，統治者對漢人進行殘酷的統治和壓迫，因害怕廣大勞動人民起來造反，在每十戶勞動人民中就駐一個朝廷的爪牙。這些兇惡的家伙專門監視民眾的生活起居，肆意搜刮民脂民膏殘害百姓。他們還規定每十戶人家共用一把菜刀，誰要用刀都要從爪牙手里借出。為了反抗這些壞事做絕的爪牙，推翻統治階級，有個聰明的人想了一個聯絡大眾的辦法，他扮成賣芋頭的商人，在熟芋頭皮下藏著字條送到每家每戶，要求人民在中秋之夜賞月時統一行動，把這些爪牙全部殺掉。最后，全國各地的人民起義推翻了元朝的統治。

后來人們為了紀念這次起義行動，每逢中秋節晚上就擺著熟芋頭和細茶、老酒、月餅等，一邊賞月一邊談論著家事國事，并講述那久遠而傳奇的故事。中秋佳聯擷萃

中秋賞月，古往今來，文人雅士給我們留下了許多情景交融的佳聯奇對。四川巫峽瑤臺有一聯：

月月月明，八月月明明分外；

山山山秀，巫山山秀秀非常。

此聯以疊詞的方式寫出了“月到中秋分外明”的特色，使中秋月色與巫山秀色相對，工整自然，珠聯璧合。

古代有一才子，仰望中秋月，吟上聯曰：天上月圓，人間月半，月月月圓逢月半。但他苦思冥想，對不出相媲美的下聯，直到那年的除夕之夜，才觸動靈感，吟出下聯：今夜年尾，明日年頭，年年年尾接年頭。此聯結構嚴謹，淺顯明快。

某年中秋，蘇東坡與家人賞月至夜半，出一上聯要三個兒子對：半夜二更半。其第三個兒子應對曰：中秋八月中。對得工整貼切，出奇制勝。

杭州市有一座浙江貢院，院門口有一副對聯描寫了時令與漲潮的關系：下筆千言，正桂子香時槐花黃后；出門一眺，看西湖月滿東海潮來。生動準確，意境優美。

清代鄭板橋在揚州瘦西湖小金山島的“月觀”上書聯：月來滿地水；云起一天山。形象貼切，充滿詩情畫意。

To be kind-hearted 熱心腸One evening, it was raining and the wind was blowing hard.An old couple came to an inn and prepared to put up for the night(投宿)there.A young man received them with open arms(熱情地), but said “I’m sorry!Our guest rooms here are all full and the inns nearby are all full, too, for there will be an important meeting to be held here tomorrow.”

Hearing the young man’s words, the old couple felt very disappointed, and turned around to leave.Just as they were leaving, the young man came up to them and stopped them: “Madam and sir, if you don’t mind, you can sleep in my bedroom for a night??.”

The next evening, the old couple took out lots of money to give it to the young man, but he refused to take it.“No！You needn’t pay me any money, for I only lend my room to you.” said the young man with a smile on his face.“You’re great, young man!It’s very kind of you.Maybe one day, I’ll build a hotel for you!” said the old man gratefully.With these words, the old couple left.Gazing at their receding figures, the young man only laughed and went on working.Several years later, the young man suddenly received a letter from the old couple, inviting him to go to Manhattan(曼哈頓).The young man met the old couple in front of a luxury hotel(豪華飯店).“Do you still remember what I said to you several years ago? Look!This is the hotel that I built for you!” said the old man.Soon, the young man became the manager of the hotel.(T)True or(F)False 1.The young man accepted it happily when the old couple gave the money to him.2.The young man had thought the old man was only joking about building a hotel for him, but the old man kept his word

THE SWINEHERD豬倌There was once a poor Prince, who had a kingdom.His kingdom was very small, but still quite large enough to marry upon;and he wished to marry.It was certainly rather cool of him to say to the Emperor's daughter, “Will you have me?” But so he did;for his name was renowned far and wide;and there were a hundred princesses who would have answered, “Yes!” and “Thank you kindly.” We shall see what this princess said.Listen!

It happened that where the Prince's father lay buried, there grew a rose tree--a most beautiful rose tree, which blossomed only once in every five years, and even then bore only one flower, but that was a rose!It smelt so sweet that all cares and sorrows were forgotten by him who inhaled its fragrance.And furthermore, the Prince had a nightingale, who could sing in such a manner that it seemed as though all sweet melodies dwelt in her little throat.So the Princess was to have the rose, and the nightingale;and they were accordingly put into large silver caskets, and sent to her.The Emperor had them brought into a large hall, where the Princess was playing at “Visiting,” with the ladies of the court;and when she saw the caskets with the presents, she clapped her hands for joy.“Ah, if it were but a little pussy-cat!” said she;but the rose tree, with its beautiful rose came to view.“Oh, how prettily it is made!” said all the court ladies.“It is more than pretty,” said the Emperor, “it is charming!”

But the Princess touched it, and was almost ready to cry.“Fie, papa!” said she.“It is not made at all, it is natural!”

“Let us see what is in the other casket, before we get into a bad humor,” said the Emperor.So the nightingale came forth and sang so delightfully that at first no one could say anything ill-humored of her.“Superbe!Charmant!” exclaimed the ladies;for they all used to chatter French, each one worse than her neighbor.“How much the bird reminds me of the musical box that belonged to our blessed Empress,” said an old knight.“Oh yes!These are the same tones, the same execution.”

“Yes!yes!” said the Emperor, and he wept like a child at the remembrance.“I will still hope that it is not a real bird,” said the Princess.“Yes, it is a real bird,” said those who had brought it.“Well then let the bird fly,” said the Princess;and she positively refused to see the Prince.However, he was not to be discouraged;he daubed his face over brown and black;pulled his cap over his ears, and knocked at the door.“Good day to my lord, the Emperor!” said he.“Can I have employment at the palace?”

“Why, yes,” said the Emperor.“I want some one to take care of the pigs, for we have a great many of them.”

So the Prince was appointed “Imperial Swineherd.” He had a dirty little room close by the pigsty;and there he sat the whole day, and worked.By the evening he had made a pretty little kitchen-pot.Little bells were hung all round it;and when the pot was boiling, these bells tinkled in the most charming manner, and played the old melody，“Ach!du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!”*

* “Ah!dear Augustine!All is gone, gone, gone!”

But what was still more curious, whoever held his finger in the smoke of the kitchen-pot, immediately smelt all the dishes that were cooking on every hearth in the city--this, you see, was something quite different from the rose.Now the Princess happened to walk that way;and when she heard the tune, she stood quite still, and seemed pleased;for she could play “Lieber Augustine”;it was the only piece she knew;and she played it with one finger.“Why there is my piece,” said the Princess.“That swineherd must certainly have been well educated!Go in and ask him the price of the instrument.”

So one of the court-ladies must run in;however, she drew on wooden slippers first.“What will you take for the kitchen-pot?” said the lady.“I will have ten kisses from the Princess,” said the swineherd.“Yes, indeed!” said the lady.“I cannot sell it for less,” rejoined the swineherd.“He is an impudent fellow!” said the Princess, and she walked on;but when she had gone a little way, the bells tinkled so prettily

“Ach!du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!”

“Stay,” said the Princess.“Ask him if he will have ten kisses from the ladies of my court.”

“No, thank you!” said the swineherd.“Ten kisses from the Princess, or I keep the kitchen-pot myself.”

“That must not be, either!” said the Princess.“But do you all stand before me that no one may see us.”

And the court-ladies placed themselves in front of her, and spread out their dresses--the swineherd got ten kisses, and the Princess--the kitchen-pot.That was delightful!The pot was boiling the whole evening, and the whole of the following day.They knew perfectly well what was cooking at every fire throughout the city, from the chamberlain's to the cobbler's;the court-ladies danced and clapped their hands.“We know who has soup, and who has pancakes for dinner to-day, who has cutlets, and who has eggs.How interesting!”

“Yes, but keep my secret, for I am an Emperor's daughter.”

The swineherd--that is to say--the Prince, for no one knew that he was other than an ill-favored swineherd, let not a day pass without working at something;he at last constructed a rattle, which, when it was swung round, played all the waltzes and jig tunes, which have ever been heard since the creation of the world.“Ah, that is superbe!” said the Princess when she passed by.“I have never heard prettier compositions!Go in and ask him the price of the instrument;but mind, he shall have no more kisses!”

“He will have a hundred kisses from the Princess!” said the lady who had been to ask.“I think he is not in his right senses!” said the Princess, and walked on, but when she had gone a little way, she stopped again.“One must encourage art,” said she, “I am the Emperor's daughter.Tell him he shall, as on yesterday, have ten kisses from me, and may take the rest from the ladies of the court.”

“Oh--but we should not like that at all!” said they.“What are you muttering?” asked the Princess.“If I can kiss him, surely you can.Remember that you owe everything to me.” So the ladies were obliged to go to him again.“A hundred kisses from the Princess,” said he, “or else let everyone keep his own!”

“Stand round!” said she;and all the ladies stood round her whilst the kissing was going on.“What can be the reason for such a crowd close by the pigsty?” said the Emperor, who happened just then to step out on the balcony;he rubbed his eyes, and put on his spectacles.“They are the ladies of the court;I must go down and see what they are about!” So he pulled up his slippers at the heel, for he had trodden them down.As soon as he had got into the court-yard, he moved very softly, and the ladies were so much engrossed with counting the kisses, that all might go on fairly, that they did not perceive the Emperor.He rose on his tiptoes.“What is all this?” said he, when he saw what was going on, and he boxed the Princess's ears with his slipper, just as the swineherd was taking the eighty-sixth kiss.“March out!” said the Emperor, for he was very angry;and both Princess and swineherd were thrust out of the city.The Princess now stood and wept, the swineherd scolded, and the rain poured down.“Alas!Unhappy creature that I am!” said the Princess.“If I had but married the handsome young Prince!Ah!how unfortunate I am!” And the swineherd went behind a tree, washed the black and brown color from his face, threw off his dirty clothes, and stepped forth in his princely robes;he looked so noble that the Princess could not help bowing before him.“I am come to despise thee,” said he.“Thou would'st not have an honorable Prince!Thou could'st not prize the rose and the nightingale, but thou wast ready to kiss the swineherd for the sake of a trumpery plaything.Thou art rightly served.”

He then went back to his own little kingdom, and shut the door of his palace in her face.Now she might well sing，“Ach!du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!”

參考譯文：

從前有一個貧窮的王子，他有一個王國。王國雖然非常小，可是還是夠供給他結婚的費用，而結婚正是他現在想要做的事情。

他也真有些大膽，居然敢對皇帝的女兒說：“你愿意要我嗎？”不過他敢這樣說，也正是因為他的名字遠近都知道。成千成百的公主都會高高興興地說“愿意”。不過我們看看這位公主會不會這樣說吧。

現在我們聽吧，在這王子的父親的墓上長著一棵玫瑰——一棵很美麗的玫瑰。它五年才開一次花，而且每次只開一朵。但這是一朵多么好的玫瑰花啊！它發出那么芬芳的香氣，無論誰只須聞一下，就會忘掉一切憂愁和煩惱。王子還有一只夜鶯。這鳥兒唱起歌來，就好像它小小的喉嚨里包藏著一切和諧的調子似的，這朵玫瑰花和這只夜鶯應該送給那位公主。因此這兩件東西就被放在兩個大銀匣里，送給她了。

皇帝下命令叫把這禮物送進大殿，好讓他親眼看看。公主正在大殿里和她的侍女們作“拜客”的游戲，因為她們沒有別的事情可做。當她看到大銀匣子里的禮品時，就興高采烈地拍起手來。

“我希望那里面是一只小貓！”她說。

可是盒子里卻是一朵美麗的玫瑰花。

“啊，這花做得多么精巧啊！”侍女們齊聲說。

“它不僅精巧，”皇帝說，“而且美麗。”

公主把花摸了一下。她幾乎哭出來了。

“呸，爸爸！”她說，“這花不是人工做的，它是一朵天然的玫瑰花！”

“呸！”所有的宮女都說，“這只是一朵天然的花！”

“我們暫且不要生氣，讓我們先看看另一只盒子里是什么再說吧。”皇帝說。于是那只夜鶯就跳出來了。它唱得那么好聽，他們一時還想不出什么話來說它不好。

“Superbe！Charmant！①”侍女們齊聲說，因為她們都喜歡講法國話，但是一個比一個講得糟。

①這是法語，意思是：“好極了！真迷人！”舊時歐洲的統治階級都以能講法語為榮。

“這鳥兒真使我記起死去的皇后的那個八音盒，”一位老侍臣說。“是的，它的調子，它的唱法完全跟那個八音盒一樣。”

“對的。”皇帝說。于是他就像一個小孩子似的哭起來了。

“我不相信它是一只天然的鳥兒。”公主說。

“不，它是一只天然的鳥兒！”那些送禮物來的人說。

“那么就讓這只鳥兒飛走吧。”公主說。但是她無論如何不讓王子來看她。

不過王子并不因此失望。他把自己的腦袋涂成棕里透黑，把帽子拉下來蓋住眉毛，于是就來敲門。

“日安，皇上！”他說，“我能在宮里找到一個差事嗎？”

“嗨，找事的人實在太多了，”皇帝說，“不過讓我想想看吧——我需要一個會看豬的人，因為我養了很多豬。”

這樣，王子就被任命為皇家的豬倌了。他們給了他一間豬棚旁邊的簡陋小屋，他不得不在這里面住下。但是他從早到晚都坐在那里工作。到了晚上，他做好了一口很精致的小鍋，邊上掛著許多鈴。當鍋煮開了的時候，這些鈴就美妙地響起來，奏出一支和諧的老調：

啊，我親愛的奧古斯丁，一切都完了，完了，完了！

不過這鍋巧妙的地方是：假如有人把手指伸到鍋中冒出來的蒸氣里，他就立刻可以聞到城里每個灶上所煮的食物的味道。這鍋跟玫瑰花比起來，完全是兩回事兒。

公主恰恰跟她的侍女們從這兒走過。當她聽到這個調子的時候，就停下來；她顯得非常高興，因為她也會彈“啊，我親愛的奧古斯丁”這個調子。這是她會彈的惟一的調子，不過她只是用一個指頭彈。“嗯，這正是我會彈的一個調子！”她說。“他一定是一個有教養的豬倌！你們聽著，進去問問他，這個樂器要多少錢。”

因此，一位侍女只好走進去了。可是在進去以前，她先換上了一雙木套鞋①。

①因為怕把她的腳弄臟了。

“你這個鍋要多少錢？”侍女問。

“我只要公主給我接十個吻就夠了。”牧豬人說。

“我的老天爺！”侍女說。

“是的，少一個吻也不賣。”豬倌說。

“唔，他怎么說？”公主問。

“我真沒有辦法傳達他的話，”侍女說，“聽了真是駭人！”

“那么，你就低聲一點說吧。”于是侍女就低聲說了。

“他太沒有禮貌啦！”公主說完遍走開了。不過，她沒有走多遠，鈴聲又動聽地響起來了：

啊，我親愛的奧古斯丁，一切都完了，完了，完了！

“聽著，”公主說。“去問問他愿意不愿意讓我的侍女給他十個吻。”

“謝謝您，不成，”豬倌回答說。“要公主給我十個吻，否則我的鍋就不賣。”

“這真是一樁討厭的事情！”公主說。“不過最低限度你們得站在我的周圍，免得別人看見我。”

于是侍女們都在她的周圍站著，同時把她們的裙子撒開。豬倌接了十個吻，她得到了那口鍋。

她們真是歡天喜地啦！這口鍋里整天整夜不停地煮東西；她們現在清清楚楚地知道城里每一個廚房里所煮的東西，包括從鞋匠一直到家臣們的廚房里所煮的東西。侍女們都跳起舞，鼓起掌來。

“我們現在完全知道誰家在喝甜湯和吃煎餅，誰家在吃稀飯和肉排啦。這多有趣啊！”

“非常有趣！”女管家說。“是的，但不準你們聲張，因為我是皇帝的女兒！”

“愿上帝保佑我們！”大家齊聲說。

那個豬倌，也就是說，那位王子——她們當然一點也不知道他是王子，都以為他只是一個豬倌——是決不會讓一天白白地過去而不做出一點事情來的。因此他又做了一個能發出嘎嘎聲的玩具。你只要把豬倌玩具旋轉幾下，它就能奏出大家從開天辟地以來就知道的“華爾茲舞曲”、“快步舞曲”和“波蘭舞曲”。

“這真是Superbe！”公主在旁邊走過的時候說。“我從來沒有聽到過比這更美的音樂！你們聽呀！進去問問他這個樂器值多少錢；不過我不能再給他什么吻了。”

“他要求公主給他一百個吻。”那個到里面去問了的侍女說。

“我想他是瘋了！”公主說。于是她就走開了。不過她沒有走幾步路，便又停了下來。“我們應該鼓勵藝術才是！”她說。“我是皇帝的女兒啊！告訴他，像上次一樣，他可以得到十個吻，其余的可以由我的侍女給他。”

“哎呀！我們可不愿意干這種事情！”侍女們齊聲說。

“廢話！”公主說。“我既然可以讓人吻幾下，你們當然也可以的。請記住：是我給你們吃飯，給你們錢花的。”

這樣，侍女們只得又到豬倌那兒去一趟。

“我要公主親自給我一百個吻，”他是，“否則雙方不必談什么交易了。”

“你們都站攏來吧！”她說。所有的侍女都圍著她站著；于是豬倌就開始接吻了。

“圍著豬倌的一大群人是干什么的？”皇帝問。他這時已經走到陽臺上來了。他揉揉雙眼，戴上眼鏡。“怎么，原來是侍女們在那兒搗什么鬼！我要親自下去看一下。”

他把便鞋后跟拉上——這本來是一雙好鞋子；他喜歡隨意把腳伸進去，所以就把后跟踩塌了。

天啊，你看他那副匆忙的樣子！

他一跑進院子，就輕輕地走過去。侍女們都在忙于計算吻的數目，為的是要使交易公平，不使他吻得太多或太少。她們都沒有注意到皇帝的到來。皇帝輕輕地踮起腳尖來。

“這是怎么一回事呀？”他看到他們接吻的時候說。當豬倌正被吻到第八十六下的時候，他就用拖鞋在他們的頭上打了幾下。“滾你們的！”皇帝說，因為他真的生氣了。于是公主和豬倌一齊被趕出了他的國土。公主站在屋外，哭了起來。豬倌也發起牢騷來。天正下著大雨。

“唉，我這個可憐人！”公主說。“我要是答應那個可愛的王子倒好了！唉，我是多么不幸啊！”

豬倌于是走到一株大樹后面，擦掉臉上的顏色，脫掉身上破爛的衣服，穿上一身王子的服裝，又走了出來。他是那么好看，連這位公主都不得不在他面前彎下腰來。

“你，我現在有點瞧不起你了，”他說，“一個老老實實的王子你不愿意要，玫瑰和夜鶯你也不欣賞；但是為了得到一個玩具，你卻愿意去和一個豬倌接吻。現在你總算得到報應了。”

于是他走進他的王國，把她關在門外，并且把門閂也插上了。現在只有她站在外邊，唱——

啊，我親愛的奧古斯丁，一切都完了，完了，完了！

關于這篇童話，安徒生說：“《豬倌》帶有一個古老丹麥民間故事的痕跡。這個故事是我在兒時聽到的——當然我不能照原樣把它復述出來。”他賦予它以新念：“一個老老實實的王子你不愿意要，玫瑰和夜鶯你也不欣賞；但是為了得到一個玩具，你卻愿意去和一個豬倌接吻。”這篇作品實際上是一篇有關統治階級生活的無聊、頭腦愚蠢的生動而又深刻的素描。

Good and evil 善與惡

Weak forces of good and evil was expelled to the sky.Asked Zeus is good at, how can we return to earth to.Zeus told him that we should not and go, one by one of the world to visit it.Evil and people very close, so one after another to find them.Good because down from the sky, on the very slow to very slow.參考譯文：

力量弱小的善,被惡趕走到了天上。善于是問宙斯,怎樣才能回到人間去。宙斯告訴他,大家不要一起去,一個一個的去訪問人間吧。惡與人很相近,所以接連不斷地去找他們。善因為從天上下來,所以就來得很慢很慢。

Catch of a LifetimeHe was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s 1)cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.On the day before the 2)bass season 3)opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching 4)sunfish and 5)perch with worms.Then he tied on a small silver 6)lure and practiced casting.The lure struck the water and caused colored 7)ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.When his 8)peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.Finally, he very 9)gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water.It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, 10)gills playing back and forth in the moonlight.The father lit a match and looked at his watch.It was 10 P.M.--two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish, then at the boy.“You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.“Dad!” cried the boy.“There will be other fish,” said his father.“Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight.He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision was not 11)negotiable.He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.The creature 12)swished its powerful body and disappeared.The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.That was 34 years ago.Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City.His father’s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake.He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.And he was right.He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago.But he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of 13)ethics.For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.Do we do right when no one is looking? Do we refuse to 14)cut corners to get the design in on time? or refuse to trade stocks based on information that we know we aren’t supposed to have?

We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young.For we would have learned the truth.The decision to do right lives fresh and fragrant in our memory.It is a story we will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren.Not about how we had a chance to beat the system and took it, but about how we did the right thing and were forever 15)strengthened.參考譯文：

他11歲那時，只要一有機會，就會到他家在新漢普郡湖心島上的小屋的碼頭上釣魚。

鱸魚季節開放的前一天晚上，他和父親早早開始垂釣，用小蟲作餌釣太陽魚和鱸魚。他系上魚餌，練習如何拋線。魚鉤擊在水面，在夕陽中漾起一片金色的漣漪，夜晚月亮升出湖面時，漣漪就成了銀色。

當魚桿向下彎的時候，他知道線的另一端一定釣到了一條大魚。父親看著他技巧純熟地在碼頭邊沿和魚周旋，眼神充滿贊賞。

最后他小心翼翼地將筋疲力盡的魚提出水面。這是他所見過的最大的一條，還是一條鱸魚。

男孩和他父親看著這條漂亮的魚，它的魚鰓在月光下一張一翕。父親點燃一根火柴，看了看表。十點了--離開禁還有兩個小時。他看了看魚，又看了看男孩。

“你得把它放回去，孩子，”他說道。

“爸爸！”男孩叫道。

“還有其他的魚嘛，”父親說道。

“但沒這么大”男孩叫道。

他環視了一遍湖。月光下附近沒有其他的漁民或船只。他又看了看他父親。從父親不可動搖的語氣中，他知道這個決定沒有商量余地，即使沒有人看到他們，更無從得知他們何時釣到了魚。他慢慢地將魚鉤從大鱸魚的唇上取下，然后蹲下將魚放回水中。

魚兒擺動著它強健的身軀，消失在水中。男孩想，他可能再也看不到這么大的魚了。

那是34年前的事了。現在，男孩是紐約的一個成功的建筑師。他父親的小屋依然在湖心島上，他帶著自己的兒女仍然在同一個碼頭上釣魚。

他猜得沒錯。自那次以后，他再也沒有見過那么大的魚了。但每次他面臨道德難題而舉棋不定的時候，他的眼前總是浮現出那條魚。

他父親曾告訴他，道德即是簡單的對和錯的問題，但要付諸行動卻很難。在沒人瞧見的時候，我們是否仍始終如一，一絲不茍？為了將圖紙及時送到，我們是不是也會抄近路？或者在明知道不可以的情況下，仍將公司股份賣掉？

在我們還小的時候，如果有人要我們把魚放回去，我們會這樣做，因為我們還在學習真理。正確的決定在我們的記憶里變得深刻而清晰。這個故事我們可以驕傲地講給朋友和子孫們聽，不是關于如何攻擊和戰勝某種體制，而是如何做正確的決定，從而變得無比堅強。

A man was going to the house of some rich person.As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road.He said, “I do not want to eat those apples;for the rich man will give me much food;he will give me very nice food to eat.” Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.He went on and came to a river.The river had become very big;so he could not go over it.He waited for some time;then he said, “I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river.” He began to go home.He had eaten no food that day.He began to want food.He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.Do not throw good things away;you may be glad to have them at some other time.【譯文】 一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好貧飲，他說：“我不計劃吃那些貧飲，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我特別好吃的東西。”接著他拿起貧飲，一把扔到土里去。他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，接著他說：“今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能度過河。” 他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到貧飲，特別開心地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有效果處。

You should come and live in the city.You would live in a nice house made of stone.You would have nice food to eat.You must come and see me at my house in the city.“ The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse.It was a very good house.Nice food was set ready for them to eat.But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise.The City mouse cried, ” Run!Run!The cat is coming!“ They ran away quickly and hid.After some time they came out.When they came out, the Country mouse said, ”I do not like living in the city.I like living in my hole in the field.For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.“ 【譯文】 城里老鼠和鄉下老鼠 從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好好友。一只老鼠居住在鄉村，另一只住在城里。特別多年以后，鄉下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它說：“你一定要來我鄉下的家瞧瞧。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。鄉下老鼠領著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家里。它把全部最精美食物都找出來給城里老鼠。城里老鼠說：“這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為啥住在田野的地洞里呢？你應該搬到城里去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，而且會吃上美味佳肴，你應該到我城里的家瞧瞧。” 鄉下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見特別大的一陣響聲，城里的老鼠叫喊起來：“快跑！快跑！貓來了！”他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。過了一會兒，他們出來了。當他們出來時，鄉下老鼠說：“我不喜歡住在城里，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。”

Isn't it funny how two people will often think of the same thing at the same time, and neither one know that the other is thinking of it? That is just what happened the day that Buster Bear first thought of going berrying.While he was walking around in the Green Forest, talking to himself about how hungry he was for some berries and how sure he was that there must be some up in the Old Pasture, some one else was thinking about berries and about the Old Pasture too.”Will you make me a berry pie if I will get the berries to-morrow?“ asked Farmer Brown's boy of his mother.Of course Mrs.Brown promised that she would, and so that night Farmer Brown's boy went to bed very early that he might get up early in the morning, and all night long he dreamed of berries and berry pies.He was awake even before jolly, round, red Mr.Sun thought it was time to get up, and he was all ready to start for the Old Pasture when the first Jolly Little Sunbeams came dancing across the Green Meadows.He carried a big tin pail, and in the bottom of it, wrapped up in a piece of paper, was a lunch, for he meant to stay until he filled that pail, if it took all day.參考譯文：

最好的獎賞

一名海軍軍官從甲板上掉入海中。他被一名甲板水手救起。這位軍官問如何才能酬謝他。

Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his examinations, and he was told that he would have to leave the university.However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the following year.“He‘s a good boy,” said Jack‘s father, “and if you let him pass this time, I‘m sure he‘ll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations at the end of it really well.”

“No, no, that‘s quite impossible,” replied the professor immediately.“Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon had died, he didn‘t know!”

“Please, sir, give him another chance,” said Jack‘s father.“You see, I‘m afraid we don‘t take any newspaper in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill.”

拿破侖病了

杰克到一所大學去學歷史。第一學期結束時，歷史課教授沒讓他及格。學校讓他退學。然而，杰克的父親決定去見教授，強烈要求讓杰克繼續來年的學業。

“他是個好孩子，”杰克的父親說：“您要是讓他這次及格，我相信他明年會有很大進步，學期結束時，他一定會考好的。”

“不，不，那不可能，”教授馬上回答。“你知道嗎?上個月我問他拿破侖什么時候死的，他都不知道。”

“先生，請再給他一次機會吧。”杰克的父親說：“你不知道，恐怕是因為我們家沒有訂報紙。我們家的人連拿破侖病了都不知道。”

He Was Only Wrong by Two

Jack Hawkins was the football coach at an Amercian college, and he was always trying to find good players, but they weren‘t always smart enought to be accepted by the college.One day the coach brought an excellent young player to the dean of the college and asked that the student be allowed to enter without an examination.“Well,” the dean said after some persuasion, “I‘d better ask him a few questions first.”

Then he turned to the student and asked him some very easy questions, but the student didn‘t know any of the answers.At last the dean said, “Well, what‘s five times seven?”

The student thought for a long time and then answered, “Thirty-six.”

The dean threw up his hands and looked at the coach in despair, but the coach said earnestly, “Oh, please let him in, sir!He was only wrong by two.”

他的得數只比正確答案多二

杰克霍金斯是美國一所學院的橄欖球隊教練，他竭力想物色好球員。但是好球員學業不行，院方不愿錄取。

有一天，教練帶著一位優秀的年輕球員去見院長，希望院方同意他免試入學。經過一番勸說后院長說：“那我最好先問問他幾個問題。”

然后他轉向學生，問了幾個非常簡單的問題。可是那個學生一個也答不上來。

最后院長說：“那么，五乘七得多少?”

學生想了很久，然后回答說：“三十六。”

院長攤開雙手失望地看了看教練。可是教練認真地說，“噢，錄取他吧，先生。他的答案只比正確答案多二。”

Real Play

When I taught the introduction-to-theater course at North Dakota State University, I required my students to attend the university theater‘s current production and write a critique.After viewing a particularly fine performance, one student wrote: “The play was so real, I thought I was actually sitting on my couch at home, watching it on television.”

逼真的戲劇

我在北達科他州立大學教戲劇入門課時，要求學生們去看學校劇團當時的演出，并寫一篇評論。看了一場極為精彩的演出后，一名學生寫道：“這部戲劇是如此逼真，以致于我認為我自己是坐在家里的沙發上，從電視上看到的。”

A Fine Match

One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor.She was very afraid of mouse, so she ran out of the house, got into a bus and went to the shops.There she bought a mousetrap.The shopkeeper said to her, “Put some cheese in it and you will soon catch that mouse.”

The lady went home with her mousetrap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it.She did not want to go back to the shop, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful!When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning she found a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!

勢均力敵

有一天某位女士看到一只老鼠在自家的廚房地板上竄過。她很害怕老鼠，所以她沖出屋子，搭上了公共汽車直奔商店。在那兒，她買了一只老鼠夾。店主告訴她：“放點奶酪在里面，很快你就會逮住那只老鼠的。”

這位女士帶著鼠夾回到家里，但她沒有在碗櫥里找到奶酪。她不想再回到商店里去，因為已經很晚了。于是，她就從一份雜志中剪下一幅奶酪的圖片放進了夾子。

令人稱奇的是，這畫有奶酪的圖片竟然奏效了!第二天早上，這位女士下樓到廚房時，發現鼠夾里奶酪圖片旁有一張畫有老鼠的圖片!

Gardening Gloves

For months I hinted that I needed a new wedding ring, since I had developed an allergy to gold.On my birthday, while I was gardening, my husband asked me for gift suggestions.I held my hands up and said, “Well, you‘ll notice that my hands are bare.”

Later that evening I opened my present with enthusiasm.“Happy birthday,” he said, as I unwrapped a new pair of gardening gloves.園藝手套

幾個月以來，我一直在向丈夫暗示我需要一枚新的結婚戒指，因為我對黃金有點過敏。生日那天，我正在干園藝活時，丈夫問我想要什么禮物。我舉起雙手說：“嗯，你肯定看到了，我的兩手都是光光的。”

那天晚上，我滿懷熱情地拆開了丈夫送的禮物。“生日快樂!”他說。我打開一看：里面包著一雙園藝手套。

Warning

Several weeks after our son began his freshman year at Alma College in Michigan, my husband and I decided to visit him.I was careful to call him a few days in advance to “warn” him that we would be coming.When we arrived at the dorm, however, I was taken aback by the disarray of his room.“Forgot we were coming, didn‘t you?” I teased.“Are you kidding?” he replied, “Why else would I have bothered to clean?”

提醒

我們的兒子是密歇根州阿爾馬大學的新生，開學幾個星期之后，我和丈夫決定去看看他。我特意提前給他打電話，“提醒”他我們將光臨。但是當我們來到宿舍時，他的房間凌亂不堪，我非常吃驚。“忘了我們要來，是吧?”我取笑他。

“開什么玩笑?“，他回答說，“要不我憑什么費神打掃?”

Ground Rules

One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau was known of his droll sense of humor.Explaining his ground rules to one freshman class, he said, “Now I know my lectures can often be dry and boring, so I don‘t mind if you look at your watches during class.I do, however, object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they‘re still running.”

基本原則

位于吉拉多海角的密蘇里東南州立大學有一位我非常喜歡的老師，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在對一個新生班級講解他的基本原則時，他說：“我知道我的講課可能經常會枯燥乏味，了無生趣，所以如果你們在上課時看表我并不介意。不過我堅決反對你們將表在課桌上猛敲看它們是不是還在走。” 推薦閱讀：

溫夫人有兩個兒子詹姆士和威廉，他們不管是在家還是在學校總是打架。

一天，他們在學校又打架了，他們的老師打電話告訴她關于這件事。

“哦，我真是受夠了！“她說。溫夫人放下電話后說。“為什么他們不能互相團結友愛而總是打架呢？”

當孩子們回到家的時候，溫夫人從廚房拿出一雙筷子。

“試著把這個折斷，”她對他們說，沒有人能夠折斷這些筷子，于是，他又給他們一人一只筷子。

“現在再試下折斷它們。”她說，他們都很容易就把筷子折斷了。

“你們看！”溫夫人說：“我們要像這些筷子，當我們互相幫助的時候，團結就是力量！”從那以后，他們再也沒有打過架了。
