Swimming

　　When I was a boy, I liked swimming very much. Once my two brothers and I spent

　　the summer holidays with my uncle and aunt in their house by the sea. It was

　　only twenty meters from the water. Every day we put on our swimming shorts

　　before breakfast, ran down to the sea across the sand and jumped in. From then

　　until late at night, we were in the sea or on the beach most of the time. When

　　our aunt rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, but we ate it in our

　　swimming shorts and were soon back in the sea again.

　　The water was warm, the sun shone everyday, and on most days there were no

　　waves. In the middle of the day a wind always began to blow but it was not

　　strong and did not make the sea rough.

　　swimming shorts 游泳裤

　　ring a bell 按铃，鸣钟

　　rough （海水、风雨等）汹涌的，狂暴的

　　游 泳

　　当我还是个小男孩时，我非常喜欢游泳。有一次，我和两个兄弟到我叔叔和婶婶海边的

　　家里过暑假。从家里到海边只有二十米远。每天早饭前，我们穿上游泳裤，穿过沙滩，跑

　　到海边跳进水里。从那时一直到晚上的大部分时间，我们都是在海里或沙滩上度过的。当

　　婶婶摇铃时，我们跑回屋里吃东西，但是我们穿着游泳裤吃，吃完很快又回到海里。

　　海水很暖和，阳光每天都很灿烂，多数日子里，海上很平静。每到中午时，风就开始刮

　　起来，但是不很大，不会使大海变得波涛汹涌。

Hobbies

　　 My hobby is collecting stamps. When I began, I tried to collect the stamps of all the countries, but now I collect only Greek and Indian ones because I have friends in Greece and I live in India. Some of my stamps are very pretty, and they are all interesting. When you look at stamps carefully, they teach you a lot about the history of other countries.

　　My brother's hobby is watching trains. He goes to our station and watches them there. When an engine goes through the station he writes down its name and number. He likes train watching very much, but I don's. I went to the station with him one day, but it wasn's interesting.

　　My sister's hobby is sewing. She hasn's got a sewing machine, but she sews with our mother's. Sometimes she sews by hand too. She makes most of her clothes, and when I tear my shirt or my trousers, I take them to her and she mends them.

　　

　　engine 火车头 sewing 缝纫 tear 撕破 mend 修补

　　

　　业 余 爱 好

　　

　　我的爱好是集邮。开始时，我设法收集所有国家的邮票，但是现在我只收集希腊和印度的，因为我有朋友在希腊，而我生活在印度。我的一些邮票非常漂亮，而且都很有趣。当你仔细看邮票时，它们会教你很多其他国家的历史。

　　我兄弟的爱好是看火车。他去我们的车站，在那里看火车。当一辆车进站时，他写下车名和车号。他非常喜欢看火车，但我不喜欢。一天，我和他一起去车站，但那一点都不有趣。

　　我姐姐的爱好是缝纫。她没有缝纫机，但她用妈妈的。有时她也用手缝。她大多数的衣服是她自己做的，当我扯破衬衣或裤子时，我就把它们拿给她补。

A Party

　　We are going to have a party in our house this evening. It is my mother's birthday, and she has invited my uncles and aunts and some of her friends. Mother and I are ordering most of the food for the party, and Father is getting the drinks. The living-room looks very pretty. Balloons of all colours are hanging from the lights.

　　In the dinning room we have put out the best plates, glasses and table cloths, and it all looks beautiful. We are going to have soup, fish, chicken, fruit and cheese. We are going to dance until midnight and after that, we will have some more food, because we will be hungry after all that dancing.

　　Last year my mother had her birthday party in a restaurant, but it is pleasanter at home. When it is my birthday, I am going to invite my friends and have a party in the garden. I will hang pretty lights in the trees and we will grill our food in the garden and dance on the grass.

　　 宴 会

　　 今晚我们将在家里举行宴会。今天是我妈妈的生日，她已经邀请了我的叔叔、阿姨们，还有她的一些朋友。我和妈妈正在订宴会的大部分食物，而爸爸正准备喝的。客厅看起来很漂亮。五颜六色的气球从灯上吊下来。

　　 我们在餐厅里摆出了最好的盘子和玻璃杯，还有桌布，它们都很漂亮。我们还会有汤、鱼、鸡、水果和奶酪。我们将跳舞跳到半夜，之后，我们会再吃点东西，因为跳了那么久的舞之后，我们会肚子饿。

　　 去年我妈妈在一个餐厅举行了生日宴会，但在家里会更开心。我生日时，我打算邀请我的朋友在花园里开宴会。我要在树上挂漂亮的灯，在花园里烧烤食物，在草地上跳舞。

Saving the Earth

　　One day, I went with the group to a nearby river. We wanted to check if it was

　　clean. We did many scientific tests to see if the river was healthy.

　　Surprisingly, it was! We still, though, took any rubbish we could find out of

　　the river. We wanted to make sure fish could live there happily.

　　Recently, I helped the group plant flowers at our school. We're hoping the

　　flowers will bloom this spring and make the school look beautiful. How did we

　　pay for all the plants? We made T-shirts and sold them to our friends! We're

　　still got some money left from selling the T-shirts. We hope to use it to buy

　　some recycling bins for the school.

　　一天，我和小组其他人一起来到附近的一条河边。我们想检查这条河是否干净。我们做了许多科学实验以测试这条河是否健康。令人惊奇的是，这条河很健康！虽然我们还是从河里捞起了一些我们可以发现的垃圾。我们想要确保鱼能在这条河里开心地生活。

　　最近，我和小组的其他人一起在学校里种了一些花。我们希望今年春天这些花会开，把学校装点得更美丽。我们怎么会有买这些植物的钱呢？我们自己做T恤衫，然后卖给我们的朋友！我们还剩余了一些卖T恤衫得来的钱。我们希望可以用这些钱为学校购买一些废物回收箱。

English in the World

　　Some people say that the English language no longer belongs to the English,

　　and it belongs to the world. It is estimated that the number of people who use

　　English exceeds 750 million. Among these, about 350 million are native

　　speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add to this

　　number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is

　　close to one billion.

　　English plays an increasingly important role in the world as a medium for

　　conducting international business and diplomacy, as well as in science and

　　medicine, the Internet, air and sea communications, international sports

　　events, radio and TV programs, pop songs and movies.

　　英语，作为进行国际业务和外交的工具，在世界上起着越来越重要的作用。它还在科学、医药、互联网、空中及海洋通信、国际体育赛事、电台电视节目、流行歌曲及电影中发挥着越来越重要的作用

A Free Show

　　 Jack lived in a village. As his father was very poor, Jack had little pocket money. One day a circus came to the village. Jack was very fond of going to the circus. He wanted to go very much, but he had no money. After lunch Jack went out and wandered slowly round the circus tent. Inside the tent the band was playing music and people were shouting happily. Jack was excited, so he tried putting his head first through a small opening in the tent. Just then, a guard found Jack out. "Hey, this is not an entrance,"he shouted and pulled him out.

　　Then Jack went to the back of the tent. There was another opening. Another guard was standing there. This time Jack turned backwards and tried to enter with his legs first. When the guard saw him, he shouted, "Hey, this is not an exit. You can's leave from here."He pushed Jack into the tent. So Jack got to see the Circus after all.

　　 杰克住在一个村庄里。因为杰克的父亲很穷，所以他只有很少的零用钱。一天，村里来了个马戏团。杰克很喜欢马戏。他非常想去看，但是他没有钱。午饭后，杰克走了出去，绕着马戏团的帐篷慢慢晃悠。帐篷里，乐队正在演奏音乐，人们高兴地欢呼。杰克很激动，所以他试图把头伸进帐篷上的一个小口子里。正在这时，一个保安发现了杰克。“嗨，这里不是入口，”他大叫，然后把杰克拉了出来。

　　 随后杰克又走到帐篷的后面。这里也有一个口子。另一个保安站在那里。这次杰克背过身去，试着先把脚伸了进去。保安看到了他，保安大叫，“嗨，这不是出口。你不能从这里出去。”他把杰克推进帐篷里。这样，杰克终于看到了马戏表演。
