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 don’t e 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 doesn’t work for us,” replied the manager. “He just delivered a package.”老板在儲(chǔ)藏室里看見一個(gè)男孩正站著，無所事事。這個(gè)男孩回答說：“20美元?，F(xiàn)在，從這里滾出去，不要回來了”。 “他剛才來送包裹的?！八胭I新的足球鞋，但他沒能找到適合他的?！八f店員給他看了不同的樣式，但他都不喜歡?！班?，店員告訴他下周再來。但他總是提前做準(zhǔn)備工作?！薄拔业呐畠壕筒煌?，”我說，“每到上學(xué)時(shí)間我都不得不‘扔’她出去。 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。對(duì)于我們的耳朵而言，有些是不舒適的，有些則是悅耳動(dòng)聽的。所有的聲音是不同的。有些高的，有些低的。沒有聲音，我們彼此不能聽說。汽車的啼聲警示處于危險(xiǎn)狀況的人們。當(dāng)飛機(jī)在陸地上方低空飛行，巨大的聲音可能會(huì)損壞房屋。我們知道， 3秒鐘里聲音傳播約1公里。這是因?yàn)楣獾乃俣缺嚷曇舻乃俣葌鞑サ每斓亩?。均分聽到雷聲之前的秒?shù)，即除以3。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, Tommy’s 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.

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. 一份營(yíng)養(yǎng)早餐是重要的。到早餐時(shí)間之前我們約12個(gè)小時(shí)沒有吃任何東西了。一份營(yíng)養(yǎng)早餐應(yīng)該包括大米，面包，雞蛋，牛奶和水果。我們必須早起以便有充足的時(shí)間吃早餐。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 you’ve borrowed. The latest novels are always in great need, and nonfiction books, such as books on history, science and gardening, are wellloved, 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 readingroom 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. 在英國(guó)，每個(gè)鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)都有公共圖書館，很多鄉(xiāng)村有分館。在一些地方，你想借多少本書籍就可以借多少本，但在別處，你幾個(gè)星期內(nèi)借閱一定數(shù)量的圖書是受限制的，這樣你有足夠的時(shí)間來完成你借的所有書籍。如果你需要借閱的書籍已借出了，你可以要求他們當(dāng)該書歸還時(shí)為你保留，如果你付費(fèi)發(fā)送明信片，圖書管理員將告知你書籍什么時(shí)候歸還的，并為你備妥。在圖書館的參考室里，有百科全書，字典，地圖冊(cè)和其他有用的書籍。你不能外借。由于路程漫長(zhǎng)，他總是買張報(bào)紙。一個(gè)星期二的早上，他翻到了體育版。該報(bào)道非常有趣，他到站忘記下車了。他在下一站下了車，不得不等待很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間坐車返回。他的老板非常生氣。t go to the same school as Molly, but they soon began to play together after school.
