Some are unpleasant

9、to our ears while others are very pleasant to hear. In a single day you probably hear hundreds of different sounds. All sounds are different. Some may be loud. Some are high; others are low. Some sounds are useful. Without sound we cannot talk or listen to one another. The ringing of the alarm clock

10、 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

11、 lightning first and then hear the thunder. This is because light travels much faster than sound. Next time you see lightning; count the number of seconds before you hear the thunder. Divide this number of seconds before you hear thunder. Divide this number by 3. This will tell you how many kilomete

12、rs away the thunder storm is. 這個(gè)世界充滿了許多有趣的聲音。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。在一天之內(nèi)你可能聽到數(shù)以百計(jì)的不同聲音。所有的聲音是不同的。有些可能是響亮的。有些高的，有些低的。有些聲音是有用的。沒有聲音，我們彼此不能聽說。鬧鐘鈴聲喚醒人們。汽車的啼聲警示處于危險(xiǎn)狀況的人們。有些聲音是有害的。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。巨大的聲音，甚至可以使人耳聾。我們知道， 3秒鐘里聲音傳播約1公里。在雷雨天你先看到閃電，然后再聽到雷聲。這是因?yàn)楣獾乃俣缺嚷曇舻乃俣葌鞑サ每斓亩?。下次看到閃電，在聽到雷聲之前，你計(jì)算閃電

13、秒數(shù)。均分聽到雷聲之前的秒數(shù)，即除以3。這會(huì)告訴你多少公里外有雷雨風(fēng)暴。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, Tommys mother thought that the cut was deep. She a

14、sked Tommy to take Goldier to the vet. The vet was very kind, and he gave her an injection. Then he stitched up the cut and put on a bandage. Goldier looks ever so funny as she walks on three legs, holding her paw as if she has been to war!湯米有一只小狗。它名叫Goldier。它可愛而有趣。湯米很喜歡它。幾天前，Goldier跟著湯米外出散步。它的爪子踩到了

The postman used to ring a hand when he delivered the letters. Fire engines had bells instead of sirens. People who sold things ca

16、me past houses, ringing a bell and shouting what was for sale. Every village had its church bell to let people know it was time to go to church. At night, this bell was rung so that traveler would find the village in the dark. In most counties, bells were hung around the necks of animals. The bells

17、helped owners to find lost cows or goats. Today, in India, animals still wear bells. Now bells are used less and less. Buzzers, sirens and horns have taken their place. Now people try to keep the old bells in schools and churches so they will not lose their beautiful sounds forever. 從前人們使用鈴聲比現(xiàn)在使用得更廣

18、泛。郵遞員在投遞信件的時(shí)候使用手打鈴。消防車使用警鈴，而不是警報(bào)器。賣東西的人來到老式住宅區(qū)，搖響鈴聲，高喊吆呼賣東西。每個(gè)村莊里使用各自的教堂鐘聲告知人們?nèi)ソ烫玫臅r(shí)間。晚上，教堂鐘聲響起，能讓旅行者在黑暗中找到村莊。在大多數(shù)國家，響鈴掛在動(dòng)物的脖子上。響鈴幫助業(yè)主尋找丟失的?；蛏窖?。今天，在印度，動(dòng)物仍然掛著響鈴?，F(xiàn)在鐘聲使用得越來越少。蜂鳴器，警報(bào)器及喇叭已占有一席之地，人們盡量在學(xué)校和教堂使用老式鐘，那些美麗的鐘聲將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)消失。7A good breakfast in important. We can easily underground it. We have not eaten

19、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

20、 to be more friendly and also to work better and play more happily. 一份營養(yǎng)早餐是重要的。我們可以很容易理解。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。我們的身體需要補(bǔ)充食物以應(yīng)對(duì)整個(gè)上午的活動(dòng)。一份營養(yǎng)早餐應(yīng)該包括大米，面包，雞蛋，牛奶和水果。在寒冷的早晨，一杯熱飲品是必要的。我們必須早起以便有充足的時(shí)間吃早餐。一份營養(yǎng)早餐有助于我們更加友善，也有助于我們將工作做得更好，玩得更快樂。8In Britain every town has a public library and there are branch libr

21、aries 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 youve borrowed. The lat

22、est novels are always in great need, and non-fiction books, such as books on history, science and gardening, are well-loved, 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 k

Most public libraries also have a reading-room 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 ar

As he has a long trip, he always buys a newspaper. It helps to make the time pass

26、 more quickly. One Tuesday morning, he turned to the sports page. He wanted to read the report about an important football match. The report was so interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. He didnt know it until he saw the sea. He got off at the next station, and had to wait a long time

27、 for a train to go back. Of course, he got to the office very late. His boss was very angry. 每天早晨，Mike坐火車去上班。由于路程漫長，他總是買張報(bào)紙。這有助于快速消磨時(shí)間。一個(gè)星期二的早上，他翻到了體育版。他想閱讀有關(guān)一場重要的足球比賽的報(bào)道。該報(bào)道非常有趣，他到站忘記下車了。直到看到了大海，他才知道過站了。他在下一站下了車，不得不等待很長時(shí)間坐車返回。當(dāng)然，他很晚才到辦公室。他的老板非常生氣。10Molly was the only little girl on her street, but
