【正文】 hot air is burning my face and the sweat is evaporating from my skin．I love this feeling．This is where I belong． 回家的感覺 期末考試結(jié)束后，我就準(zhǔn)備離校了。這對(duì)我來說不是什么難事，但是對(duì)我的許多朋友而言，離校是件大事。收拾好自己的箱子，幫著朋友們離校之后，該是說再見的時(shí)候了?，F(xiàn)在已經(jīng)到了我大學(xué)第一年的最后幾天了! 一位在華盛頓市讀書的中國(guó)臺(tái)北的朋友來看望我們，于是我兄弟和我?guī)ビ^光。但這還不是本月的最重要的事，本月最激動(dòng)人心的是回到家的那一刻，從離家那天起我就一直期盼這一時(shí)刻。 5 月 15 日清晨我回到了家。一看到父母，我給了他們一個(gè)緊緊的擁抱和深深的吻。在家里跟父母一起，站在這塊土地上，感受著濕熱的空氣，我知道——我回家了。我做的第一件事就是去“美美”餐廳吃了一頓豐盛的早餐，這頓飯比學(xué)校食堂里的飯好吃多了。到“美美”餐廳吃飯還只是個(gè)開始，我還有好多食物要吃，還有好多朋友要見。 灼熱的空氣炙烤著我的臉，汗水從我的皮膚上蒸發(fā)出來。我喜歡這種感覺，我是屬于這里的。The Weather Influences People39。s Emotions For hundreds of years，scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people39。s emotions．How your feel is controlled by many things．Your emotions can be affected by your personality，by the actions of others and by events around you．Perhaps you don39。t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well． People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy．In fact，sunlight makes us feel good．When sunlight hits our skins，our bodies produce a vitamin．Vitamins are natural chemicals which we all need to stay healthy．Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D．Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical．This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy．For example，there are long，dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway，so many people in these countries often feel sad．Without much sunlight，their bodies produce less vitamin D．Without enough vitamin D，their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good．To help the people in these countries feel better，special sunrooms with artificial lights have been built．People can go there and get sunlight for an hour or two! The weather can also affect people39。s emotions in other ways．Hot weather can make people angry because people feel unfortable when they are hot．In the same way，rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant．As you can see，the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains．Through these ways，the weather can influence our emotions．Sadly，while the weather can change us，we can hardly change the weather． 天氣影響人的情緒 幾百年來，科學(xué)家一直試圖揭開什么東西可以影響人情緒的奧秘。你的感受被許多事情所控制，你的情緒可以被你的個(gè)性、他人的行為以及你周圍的事情所影響。也許你還不知道你的情緒也可能受天氣的影響。 人們常說，當(dāng)太陽照耀時(shí)他們感覺很好，而當(dāng)陰天時(shí)他們就感覺難過。事實(shí)上，是陽光使我們感覺良好。當(dāng)陽光照到我們的皮膚上，我們的身體會(huì)產(chǎn)生維生素。維生素是我們保持健康所需要的天然化學(xué)物質(zhì)，陽光有助于我們的身體產(chǎn)生維生素D。維生素D幫助我們的身體產(chǎn)生一種特殊的化學(xué)物質(zhì)，這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)影響我們的大腦，并使我們感到快樂。例如，在瑞典和挪威，有漫長(zhǎng)漆黑的冬季，幾乎沒有陽光，因此在這些國(guó)家生活的許多人經(jīng)常感到難過。沒有多少陽光，他們的身體則產(chǎn)生較少的維生素D，而沒有足夠的維生素D，他們的身體產(chǎn)生較少讓它們感覺良好的這種特殊化學(xué)物質(zhì)。為了幫助這些國(guó)家的人感覺更好，產(chǎn)生人造光的特殊“太陽房”已建成，人們?nèi)ツ抢锞涂梢缘玫揭粌蓚€(gè)小時(shí)的“陽光”! 另一方面，天氣也能影響人的情緒。炎熱的天氣會(huì)使人生氣，因?yàn)樗麄儫釙r(shí)會(huì)感到不舒服。同樣，下雨會(huì)使人生氣，因?yàn)槌睗駮?huì)使人不愉快。正如你所看到的，天氣對(duì)支配我們大腦的化學(xué)物質(zhì)會(huì)有影響，通過這些方式，天氣會(huì)影響我們的情緒。但可悲的是，雖然天氣可以改變我們，我們卻很難改變天氣。A Bad Dream Mr．King was the owner of a large pany．One day，he went into his office early in the morning to get ready to go to the airport and set out for a city． He was leaving his office when Bill，a night watchman，came in．Bill just came off work．After saying Good morning to Mr．King，Bill told the owner about his bad dream．Last night he dreamed Mr．King39。s plane crashed after it took off．Mr．King was surprised to hear this．He decided to go by land． Bill39。s dream came true．That morning the plane really crashed just after it had taken off．Later Mr．King returned to his office and heard the accident．To express his thanks，Mr．King gave Bill 5,000 dollars with a letter．Mr．King told Bill that a man like him should be sent away．Bill was surprised and asked，Why? Mr．King said，Go home and read the letter，and you39。ll know why． Bill went home and opened the letter in a hurry．After he read it，he became very sad．In the letter there was only one sentence．But it was enough to tell the reason．Can you guess why? 噩夢(mèng) 金先生是一家大型企業(yè)的老板。一天早晨他很早就來到了他的辦公司，準(zhǔn)備去機(jī)場(chǎng)乘飛機(jī)去另一個(gè)城市。 他剛要離開辦公室，一個(gè)名叫比爾的守夜人走了進(jìn)來。比爾剛下班，在對(duì)金先生說了聲“早上好”之后，比爾告訴金先生他做了一個(gè)噩夢(mèng)。昨夜他夢(mèng)見金先生乘坐的飛機(jī)起飛后墜毀了。金先生聽到這些感到吃驚，他決定由陸路前往目的地。 比爾的夢(mèng)變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)。那天早晨，飛機(jī)真的在起飛后不久墜毀了。后來金先生回到辦公室并聽說了這起事故。為了表達(dá)他的謝意，金先生給了比爾 5000 美元，并附一封信。金先生對(duì)比爾說，像他這樣的人應(yīng)該被打發(fā)走。比爾感到驚訝，問道：“為什么?”金先生說：“回家后讀讀給你的信，你就知道為什么了?！北葼柣丶液蠹泵Υ蜷_信，當(dāng)他讀完后感到很傷心。信里只有一句話，但這一句話已經(jīng)告知了原因。你能猜出為什么嗎? Making Friends Have you ever heard the saying If you want a friend，be one? Here is a story about one new teacher making friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school．As the bell rang，the teacher came in smiling at each girl and boy．Then she said in a quiet voice，Good morning，girls and boys! How happy I am because I have all of you in my class this year．I39。d like to know each of you．I am sure we will enjoy working together．I am sure that the more we get together the happier we39。ll be． Her voice was so sweet and her looking was so friendly．Everyone believed what she said． She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard．She told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year． Then she said to the whole class，Now you know my name and the things I like．Next I want to know your names and the things you like．Then I will feel that I know you． Could you make friends by doing the same as this teacher did? One way of getting to know girls and boys in our class is to know more about them．It is usual to be friends with those people who have the same interests with you．You can play the same games and go on journeys together． You may find that some new ers in your class miss their old friends and feel strange lonely．You can invite them to take a walk or to ride bikes with you．You will find many things in mon to talk about．It is one good way to make friends just by talking together in a friendly manner． 交朋友 你聽說過“你想有一個(gè)朋友，就得成為一個(gè)朋友”這句諺語嗎? 這是一個(gè)有關(guān)一位新老師與學(xué)生開學(xué)第一天在課堂上交朋友們的故事。當(dāng)鈴響時(shí)，老師微笑著走進(jìn)教室，然后她平靜地說：“同學(xué)們，早上好! 我很高興，因?yàn)槟銈兯械娜私衲甓荚谖业陌嗌?，我想了解你們每個(gè)人。我相信我們?cè)谝黄鸸ぷ鲗W(xué)習(xí)將會(huì)很愉快，我相信我們生活在一起的時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，我們就會(huì)越高興?！彼穆曇艉芴鹈?，態(tài)度很友好，每個(gè)人都相信她說的。 她把她的名字告訴了同學(xué)們，并寫在黑板上。她告訴他們一些她喜歡做的事情，她希望在這一年里能與同學(xué)們一起去做。 然后她對(duì)全班同學(xué)說，“現(xiàn)在你們知道了
