Lesson 1 : Learning English Is A Piece of Cake 学英语只是小菜一碟

Many people are worried about learning English. They think English is difficult and it’s hard to memorize new words and grammatical rules. In fact, learning English can be a piece of cake. Don’t worry about pronunciation. Don’t worry about grammar. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Just try to speak. Speak English as much as possible. Successful people spend a lot of time practicing. Remember, practice makes perfect. Speak English every day, and you’ll improve.

很多人都为学英语而担心。他们认为英语很难学，而且很难记住新单词和语法规则。实际上，学英语只是小菜一碟。别担心发音的问题。别担心语法。别怕犯错。只管尽力去说英语。尽可能多说。成功的人会花费大量时间练习。记住，熟能生巧。只要每天说英语，你就会进步。

Lesson 2 : Modern Girls 现代女孩

Helen is like many girls her age. She lives for today, enjoys her life, and doesn’t worry about the future.

Helen has a terrible habit. She wastes money, she buys clothes that she never wears. She also enjoys eating out, and she always goes to expensive restaurants. She often eats only half the food she orders. She takes taxis everywhere, even when the bus is convenient. She never thinks about saving money, or spending it more wisely. Living a wasteful life is really a terrible habit.

海伦就像许多与她同龄的女孩们一样—活在当下，享受生活，从不考虑将来。

海伦有个非常糟糕的习惯，她花钱如流水。她买很多衣服但从来不穿。她还喜欢在外面吃饭，而且总是去高消费的餐馆。她经常点了菜却只吃一半。她去哪里都坐出租车，即使在搭乘公共汽车很方便的时候也是如此。她从不考虑省钱或更精明地花钱。

过挥霍无度的生活确实是非常糟糕的习惯。

1．I have to find a better job.我得找一份更好的工作。

2．Bob gave his brother a teddy bear. 鲍勃给了他弟弟一个泰迪熊。

Lesson 3 : Football 足球

Do you know there are two kinds of football games? One is American football, the other is soccer. In China many young men like playing soccer. It is very popular in China. But the Chinese don’t call it soccer. They call it football. There are eleven players on a team. They play with a round ball. Only the goalkeeper can play the ball with his hands. The other player mustn’t use their hands. For this reason I think the Chinese name “football” makes sense!

你知道世界上有两种类型的足球运动吗？一种是美式足球，另一种是英式足球。在中国，很多年轻人爱踢足球。它在中国非常流行。但中国人不称其为英式足球。他们只称它作足球。每支球队有11个球员。他们踢的是一个圆形的球。只有守门员可以用手部触球。其他球员不准用手。正因为如此，我认为汉语的叫法“足球”更有道理。1．Spring Festival is the most important festival in china.春节时中国人最重要的日子。

2.I’d rather stay at home tonight.今晚我宁愿待在家里。

Lesson 4 : Welcome to My Town 欢迎来到我市

Welcome to my town. It is a great place to relax. The biggest park is next to the police station. There is a terrific store on Garden Street. It is across the street from

the park. You can buy all kinds of local food there. If you like to eat Chinese food, you can eat at the Chinese restaurant on the street. It’s next to the shopping mall. If you feel like dancing, there is a disco. It’s across from the Chinese restaurant. It is called Cotti-Disco, and it is open very late.

欢迎来到我市。这是个放松的好地方。最大的公园临近警察局。在花园街上有家很不错的商店。从公园穿过街道就是了。你可以在那里买到各种本地美食。如果你喜欢吃中国菜，你可以去街上的中餐馆。它就在购物中心旁边。如果你想跳舞，这里有个迪斯科舞厅，在中餐馆对面。它的名字叫“Cotti迪斯科”，营业到很晚。

希望你在这里过得开心。

Lesson 5 : Three Suggestions for a Beautiful Life 实现美好人生的三点建议My father often gives me useful advice. I still remember his three suggestions for a beautiful life. The first thing is, think before you speak. Say positive things. Don’t hurt other people with words. The second thing is, treasure everything. Life is precious. Don’t take anything for granted. The third thing is, nothing is impossible. If you think you can, you can. Never doubt yourself. You can do anything. These three suggestions have helped me a lot throughout my life.

我的父亲常给我有用的建议。我仍然记得他对于实现美好人生的三条建议。第一，在说之前经过思考，说积极的话，不要出言伤人；第二，珍惜一切，声明诚可贵，不要漠视任何事；第三，没有不可能的事，如果你认为自己能行，你就能行，永远不要怀疑自己，你可以做成任何事。在我的人生道路上，这三点建议让我受益匪浅。

My parents have different interests.

My mother like watching science fiction movies，comedies，and foreign movies. Romance movies are her favorites. My father dislikes romance movies but likes horror movies.

My mother likes many kinds of music. Rock and roll is her favorite because it makes her excited. She finds classical music to be boring, however. My father likes country and blues music. They help him relax. He dislikes listening to rock and roll because it’s less peaceful.

Although my parents have very different interests and tastes, they get along very well.

我母亲喜欢很多种类型的音乐。摇滚乐是她最喜爱的，因为摇滚乐能使她兴奋起来。她觉得古典音乐太沉闷。我父亲喜欢乡村和蓝调音乐。这些音乐使他放松。他不爱听摇滚乐，因为这音乐不够平和。

Computers are very useful and computer games are very interesting, but we should take good care of our eyes.

Lesson 18 : Slaves to Designer Labels 名牌的奴隶

Many young people today are becoming too set on designer labels. They’re only interested in designer T-shirts, jeans and sport shoes, and some of them are very expensive. I feel really sorry for poor families; they can’t afford those expensive clothes. Cheaper clothes are usually just as good, but the kids won’t wear them. They think they don’t look cool. I think the whole thing is crazy. It really makes me angry. There are so many more important things in life. We shouldn’t become slaves to designer labels!

现在很多年轻人太注重品牌了。他们对那些品牌的T恤衫、牛仔裤和运动鞋感兴趣，而那些商品有些很昂贵的。我为穷困的家庭感到伤心；他们买不起那些高价的衣服。便宜的衣服通常也一样好，但孩子们就是不屑一顾。他们认为那些便宜货不够酷。我认为这一切都疯了。这个现象实在让我生气。声明中那么多更重要的东西。我们不应该沦为名牌的奴隶！

Lesson 20: Gap Year 空档车

I plan to spend a gap year traveling around and learning about the world.

I used to have a typical white collar job. I worked for a large company. I used to be under a lot of pressure at work. I got up at seven every day. At night I often worked overtime. I spent most of my time writing reports.

I could no longer handle the fast-paced life, so I quit working completely.

Next year, I will find another job. I want to enjoy my life better in the future.

我计划过一个空档车，去周游世界、开拓眼界。

过去，我是一个典型的白领。我在一家大公司工作，工作压力很大。每天早上七点钟起床，晚上常常加班加点，大部分的时间都用写报告。

Lesson 22 ：Don’t Be Lazy 别懒惰

Every man in the world needs to work. If a man is too lazy to work, he will probably become a useless man. The life of such a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. Everyone, when he is young, should learn to do some useful work.

It is not enough for a man to learn to do some kind of work. He should put his heart

into his work, and not waste his time. “Work while you work and play while you play.” It is good rule for young people, as well as for the old.

世上每个人都需要工作。如果一个人懒于工作，他很可能会变得成一个无用之人。这样一个懒人的生命对他自己和对他人都是无用。每一个人年轻的时候都应该学会做一些有用的工作。

对一个人来说，仅仅学会做某样事是不够工作，他应该全心全意投入到工作中，不要浪费时间。“该工作时就工作，该玩时就玩”。这对年轻人和年长的人来说，都是金科玉律。

Lesson 23 : The Best Way to Travel 最好的旅行方式

How can anyone like flying? It’s a crazy thing to do. Birds fly; people don’t. I hate flying. I prefer traveling by train. Trains are much better than planes. They’re cheaper, safer, and more comfortable. You can see different types of scenery. Stations are more convenient than airports. You can get on and off in the middle of cities. Of course, trains are slower, but speed isn’t everything. Enjoying yourself is more important!

怎么可能有人喜欢飞行呢？这简直是件疯狂的事。鸟会飞；人类不会。我讨厌飞行。火车比飞机好多了。它更便宜、更安全、更舒适。你可以在火车上走动，开窗。你可以看到各种各样的风景。火车站比机场便利多了。你可以在城市之间随意上下车。当然啦，火车要慢一些，但速度不是一切。享受更重要！

It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done. Everybody’s business is nobody’s business.

要完成，“每个人”被叫去做这项工作。“每个人”肯定“某个人”会做这件事。“任何人”本来都可以做这件事，但却“没有人”去做。“某个人”很生气，因为这是“每个人”的事。“每个人”都认为“任何人”能做这件事。但“没有人”认识到“每个人”都不会去做。最后，当“没有人”做“任何人”本来可以做的事，“每个人”怪“某个人”。

Lesson 28 : Animals in the Zoos 动物园里的动物

People love to go to the zoo to look at the wild animals. But do the animals like being in the zoo? Until recently, most zoo animals were kept in small cages. They were nothing like the places in the wild. This is starting to change, however. Many American zoos are starting to create imitations of the animals’ natural habitat. This way, the animals are more comfortable, and we get to enjoy the experience of seeing them in a more natural setting.

人们喜欢去动物园看野生动物。但动物们喜欢待在动物园里吗？直到最近，大多数动

物园里的动物都还是被关在小笼子里。那里根本不像野外的环境。然而，这种情况开始改变了。美国的很多动物园开始为动物们创造模仿野外的生存环境。这样，动物们更加舒适，而我们也得以观看生活在更自然的环境里的动物。

Lesson 30 : Water 水

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on Earth. All plants and animals need water. Man also needs water. We need water to drink, to

cook food and to clean ourselves. Water is needed in farms, factories, offices, schools, and families.

Water is found in seas, rivers and lakes. It can be found everywhere in the world, and it can also be found in the air. We can’t see or feel the water when it is part of air. Clouds are also made of water. They are little drops of water. When water freezes, it is ice. So ice is water too.

Water really does surround us all the time.

水对生物是很重要的。没有水，地球上就没有生命。所有动植物都需要水。人类也需要水。我们需要水来饮用、烹饪和洗澡。农场、工厂、办公室、学校和家庭都需要水。海洋、河流、湖泊中有水。世界上到处都可以找到水，连空气中也有水。当水作为空气的成分时，我们看不到也感觉不到。云也是由水组成的。它们是一些很小的水滴。水凝结时就变成了冰。所以冰也是水。

水的确时刻围绕着我们。
