Life is not easy, so I’d like to say, ”When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

When I was 14, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often

laughed at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a wonderful idea! It meant I had to speak in front of all the teachers and students of my

school.

“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win.” Then, Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself ”, I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could not believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students and those classmates who once looked down upon me, now all said “Congratulations!” to

me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I will find

myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.

生活是不容易的，所以我想说，“无论发生什么事，相信自己。”

当我14岁时，我与任何人说话都很紧张。我的同学经常嘲笑我。我除了伤心还是伤心。后来，发生了一些事。它改变了我的生活。这是一个英语演讲比赛。妈妈鼓励我去参加。多么

美妙的主意！这意味着我不得不在我校所有的老师和学生面前开口说话。

“来吧，孩子。相信自己。您肯定会赢。”于是，我和母亲讨论了很多不同的主题。最后我选择的题目是“相信自己”，我尽全力记住所有的演讲内容，操练了100次以上。在伟大母爱的支持下，我在比赛中表现出色。当消息传来，我简直不敢相信自己的耳朵，我赢得了第一名。我听到了来自老师和同学，包括那些曾经看低我的同学的欢呼声，现在所有人对我说：

“祝贺！”。我母亲拥抱着我，热泪盈眶。

从那时起，对我而言一切都改变了。当我做任何事，我都有自信心。这是真的，不仅适

用于个人，也是适用于一个国家。

Dear Editor(编辑):

I am not a good-looking boy and I’m not good at studying, either. Some people don’t even want to talk to me. So I usually feel lonely. Sometimes I think that if I wanted to leave home, nobody would care. How can I stop feeling like this?

Peter

Dear Peter,

Without knowing more about you, it is hard for me to give you some good

advice.

But first, I am sure that you are wrong that nobody would care if you left home. What about your parents? And other family members? It seems that you are very sad. You’d better go to see a doctor or talk to your parents. They will be able to help you.

Secondly, I’m sure there’s someone in your class who feels lonely, too. You

never know how other people feel inside. Try to make friends with them.

Or you may join a club to meet new people and to keep yourself busy. You need to find happiness in yourself. Write a list of all the good things about yourself, learn to

like yourself, and them others will see your confidence and like you, too.

Editor

亲爱的编辑：

我是一个不帅的男孩，我也不善长于学习。有些人甚至不愿意和我说话。所以，我常常感到孤独。有时候我想，如果我离家出走，没有人会觉察到。我如何才能摆脱这种感觉呢？

彼得

亲爱的彼得，

由于对你了解不多，我很难给你一些好的建议。

但首先，我相信你有错误，那就是如果你离家出走没有人会觉察。你的父母会怎么样？其他家庭成员呢？看来你很可悲。你最好去看医生或者与你的父母谈一谈。他们一定能帮你。

第二，我敢肯定你的班上也有感到孤独的。你永远不了解其他人内心的感受。尝试跟他

们交朋友。

或者你可以加入一个俱乐部，结识新朋友，或者你可以使自己忙忙碌碌的。你需要自己去找寻快乐。写一份关于自己的所有喜好的列表，学会喜欢自己，别人将看到你的自信状态，

也将喜欢你。

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains (疼痛) all over your body. You don’t want to

work; you stay in bed, feeling very sad.

What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌).

Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope (显微镜). They are very, very small and

there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink

dirty water.

Germs aren’t found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, and if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have

pain everywhere.

你生过病吗？当你生病时，你一定会因为你的身体在发热而不舒服，同时周身疼痛。你

不想去工作，你躺在床上，感觉很难受。

是什么导致我们生病的？是病菌。

细菌无处不在。它们非常小的，你用肉眼看不到，但你可以使用显微镜找到它们。它们

非常，非常小，在一个极小的东西上，可能有上百个。

细菌总是在脏水里发现。当我们在显微镜下观察脏水，我们会看到它们。所以，你的父

母不允许你喝脏水。

细菌不仅仅在水里发现，在空气中，在灰尘里也被发现。如果你划破了手指，如果一些来自地面的灰尘进入伤口，一些细菌将会进入你的手指。你的手指将变得又红又肿，你将感到

那里很痛。有时候，细菌会进入你的全身，你会感到疼痛无处不在。

During the day we work and play, at night we sleep. Our body rests while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. Our body grows most while we are asleep. Children who are tired usually need more sleep. We can get at our lessons better, after we have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our body needs plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh air, we will feel tired when we wake up. While in bed we must not cover our heads. Our lungs(肺) need to get enough fresh air. If we open our window at night, we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who

want to be strong must get plenty of fresh air.

白天我们工作和娱乐，晚上我们睡觉。我们在睡觉的同时，我们的肌体在休整。到了早晨，我们又准备去工作和娱乐了。肌体主要在我们睡眠状态下生长。疲倦的孩子通常需要更多的睡眠。在我们有了充足的休息之后，我们能提高学习效率。八，九岁的男孩和女孩们需要每天晚上睡10小时。我们睡觉时，肌体需要大量的空气。如果我们没有得到足够的新鲜空气，醒来时，我们会感到疲倦。在床上我们不能蒙住头睡。我们的肺需要得到足够的新鲜空气。如果我们在夜间开着窗户，我们可以得到大量新鲜空气。凉爽的空气比温热的空气有益。想要健康

的男孩和女孩们必须得到大量的新鲜空气。

Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some

rules you should follow.

First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a

favourite food, but you had better ear something different. If you eat different foods,

you will probably get more nutrients your body needs.

Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you’re really thirsty,

cold water is the No.1 choice. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium your

body needs to grow strong bones.

Third, listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels and when you stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel

comfortable and make you fat.

Fourth, limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDs and

videos, or using computers. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike

riding and swimming. You can’t watch TV for more than two hours a day.

Fifth, be active. One thing you’d like to do as a kid i to find out which activity

you like best. Find ways to be active every day.

Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.

嗨，亲爱的男孩和女孩！你知道怎样做一个健康的孩子吗？下面是一些你应该遵循的规

则。

第一，要吃不同的食物，特别是蔬菜和水果。你可能有自己很喜爱的食物，但是你最好吃不同的食物。如果你吃不同的食物，你可能会得到更多你身体所需的营养。

其次，要尽可能地常喝的牛奶和水。当你真的渴了，凉水是第一选择。牛奶是一种有益

的饮料，可以给你提供更多肌体所需的钙质促进骨骼强健生长。

第三，要听从你的身体。当你吃饭时，请注意你的身体感觉如何，请注意你的胃感到饱

适的时候。吃得太多会让你感到不舒服，并且会使你发胖。

第四，要限制屏幕时间。屏幕时间是指你看电视，DVD 和视频，或使用电脑的时候。最好是进行体锻活动，例如打篮球，骑自行车和游泳。你每天看电视不可以超过两小时。 第五，要积极向上。有一件事情希望你做一做，就是找到你作为一个孩子最喜欢的活动。

要想办法每天充满活力。

遵循这些规则，你可以成为一个健康的孩子。

Every year, over40，000 secondary students in Britain run a business. “Each business runs for one year,” said Ben, one of the group of students visiting Shanghai. “When we started our business, we borrowed money from parents and friends. At the end of the year, these people will receive some of the profits.” I asked Ben whether running a business was difficult. He said that it was no problem. He said that they

always received a lot of advice from teachers and business people.

Another member of the group, Regina, told me the four questions they always

asked themselves. The questions are:

1. What do people want to buy?

2. Where is a good place to sell our product?

3. How is our product better than other products?

4. How much is our product?

I was also very much interested in how the group was organized. Regina said that there were usually about five to seven students in each business and among them are one manager and one accountant. I asked them who was the manager. “I am, of course,” said Regina. “It was my idea to produce picture books,” she said. “Other groups in our school sell things like T-shirts, videos and computer games,” said Ben.

“How much money do the businesses usually make?” I asked. “Some businesses make $20,000-$30,000, but most groups make a small profit of about $1,000-3,000,” said Regina. I asked them what they did with the profits. “We can do what we like with the profits.” However, Regina told me that it was important not to waste the money. She

always told the other groups to give the money to charity.

Most students enjoy running a business and all the students said that they had

learnt a lot.

每年，有超过40，000名的英国中学生经营一项生意。 “每一个生意运行一年，”一位访问上海的学生团队成员Ben 如是说， “当我们开始业务之初，我们向父母和朋友借了钱。截至年底，他们将获得一些红利。 “我问Ben 经营一项生意是否是困难的。他说这是没有问题的。

他说他们总是得到许多来自老师和商界人士提供的建议。

另一个团队成员Regina ，向我介绍了他们总是问自己的四个问题。这些问题是：

1。什么东西是人想购买的？

2。哪里是销售我们产品的好地方？

3。怎样使我们的产品优于其他产品？

4。我们的产品标价多少？

我也对团队是如何运作的十分感兴趣。Regina 说，每个业务通常约有5至7名学生，其中有一位经理和一名会计师。我问他们谁当经理呢。Regina 说： “当然是我咯”她说，“这是我的创意去生产图画书的”。 Ben说， “我们学校的其他团队销售的东西有如T 恤，录像和电

脑游戏。“

我问：“所做的生意通常能盈利多少呢？“ Regina回答：“有些生意盈利$20,000 - $ 30,000，但大多数团队赚取约$1,000-3,000小利润。“ 我问他们用这些利润做些什么事情。 “我们可以用这些利润做我们喜欢的事情。 “不过，Regina 告诉我说，重要的是不要浪费金钱。

她一直号召其他团队一起把钱捐入慈善机构。

大多数学生乐于经营一项生意，并且所有的学生都说他们学到了很多东西。

Bev could not to do her work. She felt too tired. She put down her book, yawned and felt better. Bev looked up. Had the teacher seen her? To her surprise, the teacher was yawning, too. He took a long breath and opened his mouth wide. He closed his eyes

a bit and let out his breath in a big, slow yawn. Then Bev heard other yawns.

The teacher said, ”Bev, yawned because our doors and windows are closed. And the room is warm. Her body needed more air. Maybe she yawned because she was tired. Maybe she was hungry. Or she just needed to move a bit. Do you feel better now, Bev?”

he asked.

“Yes,” said asked.

“Yawns wake us up,” the teacher said. “When you yawn you stretch many parts of

your body. That stretching makes you feel good.”

There were more yawns.

“People do not know why they yawn,” the teacher went on. “But if you see a yawn, hear one, or even read about one, you may yawn, too. And if your yawn starts, you can’t

stop it. You may close mouth to stop it. But the yawn will still come.”

The teacher stood up and said, “Let’s open the window and water on your face

helps to stop yawns. Bev may go first. ”

How do you feel now after you have read this story? Did you yawn? Watch a

friend read this. See if your friend starts to yawn. If you see a yawn, you will know

why.

贝弗不能再工作了。她觉得太累了。她放下书本，打了个哈欠，感觉好多了。贝弗抬起头来。老师看到了她这样子吗？令她惊讶的是，老师也正打着呵欠。他吸了很长一口气，张大了嘴巴。他微微闭上了眼睛，让他的吸气释放在一个又大又慢的哈欠里。接着，贝弗听到了其他

的哈欠声。

老师说，“贝弗，打哈欠是因为我们的门和窗户都关着。整个房间暖暖的。而身体需要更多的空气。也许因为她累了她打哈欠。也许因为她饿了她打哈欠。或者她只是需要动一下。“他

问道: “贝弗, 现在你感觉好些了？“

“是的，”贝弗回答。

“打哈欠可以唤醒我们，”老师说。 “当你打哈欠你伸展了身体的许多部分。这样的伸展

使你感觉良好。 “

还有更多的打哈欠。

“人们不知道他们为什么打哈欠，”老师接着说。 “但如果你看到呵欠，听到呵欠声，甚至阅读有关哈欠的文章，你也可能打哈欠。如果你的哈欠开始，你不能阻止它。你可以闭上嘴

阻止它。但是哈欠仍然会再来。 “

老师站起来说：“让我们打开窗户，脸上擦些水有助于停止打哈欠。贝弗可以先试试。 “ 当你看了这样的故事后你感觉如何呢？你打哈欠吗？观察一下朋友看了这个的反应。 看看

你的朋友是否开始打哈欠了。如果你看到打呵欠，你就会知道为什么了。

Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems

by hearts. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said

them over and over.

Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any

long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many

great men of the work have had wonderful memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child. Some children—like

boys ad girls who live in foreign countries with their parents—seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as

well.

The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of

what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste.

Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

有些人有非常好的记忆力，能轻松地记住相当长的诗歌。还有些人，只能记住那些他们说

了一遍又一遍的东西。

查尔斯狄更斯，英国著名作家，据说他走过任何一条伦敦大街后就能告诉你他所经过的每

一个商店的名字。许多伟人都具有极好的记忆力。

良好的记忆力在学习语言中是有很大帮助的。每个人从小通过记住所听到的学习母语。有些孩子---比如与父母一起在国外生活的男孩和女孩们---似乎学习两种语言几乎与学习一种语言一样轻松。 在学校里学习第二语言是不容易的，因为学生们只有很少的时间用于学习，并且

他们也同时忙于其他学科。

人类的心灵很像是一个相机，但是它' 拍摄照片’不仅有我们所看到的东西，还有我们的感

觉，听觉，嗅觉和味觉。

记忆是伴随着我们一生的日记。

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it

often meant hunting wild animals and birds.

About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want

to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best

one can earn a lot of money.

For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than $3000 a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than $50000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis and motor racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertising for sports equipment does not simp ly say “But our thing”. It says ”Buy the same shirt and shoes as…”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer

just something for people’s spare time.

单词“sport ”最初是指人们在空闲时间做的事。后来常指猎杀野生动物和鸟类。 大约一百年前，这个词第一次用于表示举办奥运会。这是这个词现今的通常意义。人们花了很多业余时间踢足球，打篮球，打网球和许多其他运动项目。人们这样做是因为他们想运动。有少数人以他们从事的运动而获得报酬。这些人被称为职业运动员。他们可能只有短短数年的

职业生涯，但在当时，最好的一个能赚很多钱。

例如，英格兰职业足球运动员的收入一年超过3000美元。球星赚取更多。 国际高尔夫球和网球冠军可以在一年里赚取超过50000美元。当然，只有少数运动员能赚很多钱，这仅在个人运动项目是可能的，像高尔夫球，网球和赛车。也许有关运动员和金钱最令人惊讶的事情是这样的：球星可从广告那部分赚取的钱比从运动本身赚取的钱要多的多。一种运动器材广告，不会简单地说：“购买我们的产品”。它得说：“买同系列的衬衫和鞋子如同... ”。著名运动员甚至可以代言的产品像手表和食品。他们允许公司使用他们的名字或他们的照片，他们因此取

得报酬。体育运动不再仅仅是人们闲暇时间的东西了。

Until 1871, everyone in England played football for fun. Then someone had the idea of giving a beautiful cup to the best team each year. The Football Association

agreed. It made rules for its teams.

Today in the FA cup, teams play against each other until there is only one team left, the winning team. The winners get the Cup. Any team, large or small, important or unimportant, in or out the association, can play, but it is very hard to get the Cup.

The FA Cup is often just called “the Cup”. There are other cups(like the League Cup(联合杯), for example), but “the Cup” always means the “big one”. To win it is as good as winning the League, perhaps even better. At the end of the game, one team is the beat of all. The players stand there in front of many people, sometimes more than fifty thousand, and one by one, each of the eleven members of the team holds the great

Cup above his head. It is one of the great moments of England football.

直到1871年，英国人踢足球还只当作娱乐。而后有人提出了想法把一个美丽的杯子授予每

一年最好的球队。英格兰足球协会同意了。并为协会里的球队制定规则。

今天的足总杯赛，球队捉对淘汰，直到只剩下一个球队，获胜的球队。胜利者获得足总杯。任何一支球队，大的或小的，重要的或不重要的，加入协会的或未加入协会的，都可以参赛，

但是赢得足总杯是非常艰难的。

足球协会杯通常就是所谓的“足总杯”。还有其他杯赛（例如，联合杯），但“足总杯”总是意味着“顶级”。 为了赢得它，就象赢得联赛一样，甚至更好。在比赛结束后，一支球队是欢呼雀跃的。球员们站在许多人面前，有时甚至超过50000多，一个接一个，球队11个成员

每个人的手触拥着大杯。它是英格兰足球的伟大时刻之一。

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice-cream better than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It’s important for us to eat our meal at regular time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges often decided whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. O f the man could not swallow the bread, it meant that he wasn’t telling the

truth. Though this seems strange and truth. A man who is worrying

something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his

appetite.

我们的饮食习惯对于健康和强壮的身体而言是非常重要的。比起吃肉类和大米，我们当中多数人更喜欢吃甜食和冰淇淋。如果我们餐后吃甜食和冰淇淋，甜食和冰淇淋对我们没什么害处。如果我们餐前吃，它们可以夺走我们的胃口。我们每天在固定时间吃饭，这一点很重要。当我们感到兴奋或忧虑，我们可能不想吃。很久以前，在英国，一些法官常常决定一个人是否说了实话就给他一些干面包。该名男子未能吞下面包，这意味着他没有说实话。虽然这似乎很奇怪也很真实。正在忧虑某事的这名男子是很难吞下任何干食物的，因为他已没了胃口。
