放出(giveout)熱水和蒸汽,因此冰島不像格林蘭島那樣冷(notascoldasGreenland)。而且冰島的居民遠遠多于格林蘭島。ACompetitionofLyingAcertainoldgentlemanwasveryunhappyaboutmoderneducation,andthoughtthatyoungpeopledidn,tknowthedifferencebetweenrightandwrong.OnedayhewastakingawalknearthechurchwhenhesawsomeyoungboysstandingaroundasmallcatTheoldgentlemenwentuptotheboysandaskedthemwhatwashappenin&Oneoftheboyssaidtohim“We'rehavingacompetition.We'retellinglies,andtheonewhotellsthebiggestliewillkeepthecat”Theoldgentlemanthoughtthiswasagoodchancetoteachtheboysausefullesson,sohesaidtothem,“I'venevertoldalieinmylife”.Atoncetherewasagreatshoutfromalltheboys,andtheysaid,“You'vewon!Thecatbelongstoyou!”13.說謊比賽某個(acertain)老年紳士(gentleman)對現(xiàn)代教育(moderneducation)頗為不滿(unhappy),他認為年輕人不知道是非(rightandwrong)之間的差異(difference)。有一天,他在教堂(church)附近散步(takeawalk)時,看到一些小男孩圍著一只小貓(cat)。這位老紳士湊上前去問孩子們發(fā)生(happen)什么事了。有個男孩告訴他:“我們正在進行一場競賽(competition)。我們在比賽說謊(tellties),誰說的謊最大,這只貓就是誰的?!崩霞澥坑X得這是教育孩子們的一個好機會。于是他就對孩子們說:“我這輩子從未說過謊話。”立刻(atonce)所有孩子異口同聲地大喊(shout):“你贏”劃了!這只貓屬于你了(Thecatbelongstoyou)!”SportsinAmericaInmanypartsoftheworld,therearefourseasons:spring,summer,'allandwinter.ThereareonlythreeinAmerica:football,basketballandbaseball.Ifyouwanttoknowwhatseasonitis,justhavealookatwhatpeopleareplaying.SportsareanimportantpartofAmericanculture.Studentslearntoplaymanysportsatschool.TheytakePEclasses.Somejointheschoolteams,andothersjoinschoolsportsleagues(聯(lián)盟).FormanypeopleintheUSA,sportsarenotjustorr^nnThey'realmostareligion(宗教).Thousands0fsportsfansbuyexpensiveticketstowatchtheirfavoriteteamsandsportsstarsplay.OtherfanswatchgamesonTVathome.Themostdevoted(投入的)sportsfansnevermiss,agame14.美國的體育世界上許多地方(manyparts)有四個季節(jié)(season):春(spring)、夏(summer)、秋(fall)、冬(winter)。美國卻只有三個:足球、籃球(basketball)和棒球(baseball)。如果你想知道是什么賽季(season),只需看一下人們在玩哪種球即可。體育是美國文化(Americanculture)的一個重要部分(part)。學生在校時學習很多體育項目。他們上體育課(PE)。有些學生加入校隊(jointheschoolteam).還有些學生加入學校體育聯(lián)盟。對于許多美國人來說,體育不只是為了玩(氣[fun)。體育幾乎(almost)是一種宗教。成千上萬的(thousandsof)體育迷(sportsfan)購買昂貴的門票(ticket)去觀看(watch)他們最喜歡的球隊以及體育明星(star)比賽。其他體育迷在家通過電視(onTV)看比賽。最鐵桿的體育迷從不會錯過(miss)一場比賽。TheAppleTree(1)Alongtimeago,therewasahugeappletree..Alittleboylovedtocomeandplayarounditeveryday.Heclimbedtothetreetop,atetheapples,playedunderthetree...Helovedthetreeandthetreelovedtoplaywithhim.Timewentby...Thelittleboyhadgownn竺andhenolongerplayedaroundthetree.Oneday,theboycamebacktothetreeandlookedsad“.Comeandplaywithme,”thetreeaskedtheboy.“IamnolongerakidIdonotplayaroundtreesanymore”Theboyreplied,“Iwanttoys..Ineedmoneytobuythem.”“Sorry,butIdon'thavemoney.ButyoucanicickallmyapplesandsellthemSo,youwillhavemoney.”Theboywassoexcited.Hepickedalltheapplesonthetreeandlefthappily.Theboydidn'tcomebackafterhepickedtheapples.Thetreewassad.Oneday,theboy“eturnedandthetreewassoexcited“Comeandplaywithme”Thetreesaid"Idon'thavetimetoplay.Ihavetoworkformyfamily.WeneedahouseCanyouhelpme?”“Sorry,butIdon'thaveahouseButyoucancut時mybranches(枝干)tobuildyourhouse.”,sotheboycutallthebranchesofthetreeandlefthappily.Thetreewasgladtoseehim加lofjoybuttheboydidn'tappearsincethenThetreewasagainlonelyandsad.15.蘋果樹(1)很久以前有一棵巨大的(huge)蘋果樹(appletree)。一個小男孩每天都喜歡來到樹旁玩耍。他爬(climb)到樹頂、吃蘋果、在樹下玩……他愛這棵樹,樹也愛和他一起玩。隨著時間的流逝,小男孩長大Y(growup)。他不再到樹旁玩耍了。一天,男孩回到樹旁,他看起來很悲傷?!皝砗臀彝姘?!”樹說?!拔也辉偈莻€小孩(kid),我不會再到樹下玩耍了.”男孩答道,“我想要玩具(toy),我需要(need)錢來買。”“很遺憾,我沒有錢。但是你可以摘(pick)我所有的蘋果拿去賣。這樣你就有錢了?!蹦泻⒑芘d奮(excited)。他摘掉樹上所有的蘋果,然后高興地離開了。摘過蘋果以后,男孩沒再回來(comeback)。樹很傷心。一天,男孩回來(retum)Y,樹非常興奮,“來和我玩吧”,樹說?!拔覜]有時間玩.我不得不(haveto)為我的家庭工作。我們需要一個房子,你能幫我嗎?”“很遺憾,我沒有房子。但是,你可以砍下(cutoff)我的樹枝來建房?!币虼耍泻⒖诚滤械臉渲?,高高興興地離開了。看到他充滿歡樂(fullofjoy),樹也很高興(glad)。但是,自從心!^無)那時起,男孩沒再出現(xiàn)(appear),樹很孤獨(lonely)很悲傷。.TheAppleTree(2)Onehotsummerday,theboyreturnedandthetreewasveryhappy."Comeandplaywithme!”thetreesaid.“IamsadandgettingoldIwanttogosailingtorelaxmyself.Canyougivemeaboat?”“Usemytrunk(樹干)tobuildtheboatYoucansailandbehappy.”SotheboycutthetreetrunktomakeaboatHewentsailinganddidnotshowugforalongtimeFinally,theboyreturnedafterheleftforsomanyyears.“Sorry,myboy.ButIdon’thaveanythingforyouanymoreNomoreapplesforyou.”thetreesaid,“Idon’thaveteethtoeat.”Theboyreplied“Nomoretrunkforyoutoclimbon”“Iamtoooldforthatnow.”theboysaid.“Ireallywanttogiveyousomethingtheonlythingleftismydyingroots(根).”Thetreesaid,“Idon'tneedmuchnow,justai)laeetorest.Iamtiredafteralltheseyears.”Theboyreplied,“Good!Comehere,pleasesitdownwithmeandhavearest,“Theboysatdownandthetreesmiled.ThisisastoryofeveryoneThetreeisourparent.Whenwewereyoung,welovedtoplaywithMomandDad.Whenwegrowup,weleavethem,andonlycometothemwhenweneedsomethingorwhenweareintrouble.Whatever,parentswillalwaysbethereandgiveeverythingtheycouldtomakeouuhappyYoumaythinkthattheboyiscrueltothetreebutthat'showallofusaretreating(對待)ourparents.15.蘋果樹(2)在一個炎熱的也。1)夏日,男孩回到樹旁,樹很高興.“來和我玩吧!”樹說.“我很傷心,我開始變老了。我想去航海(gosailing)放松(relax)自己.你能不能給我一條船?”“用我的樹干去造一條船,你就能航海了,你會高興的?!庇谑?,男孩砍下樹干去造(make)船。他航海去了,很長一段時間未露面(showup)。許多年后男孩終于回來了.“很遺憾,我的孩子,我再也沒有任何東西(anything)可以給你了。沒有蘋果給你”樹說?!拔覜]有牙齒颼《山)吃了。"男孩答道?!皼]有樹干供你爬?!薄艾F(xiàn)在我老了,爬不上去了?!蹦泻⒄f.“我真的想把一切都給你……我唯一剩下的東西是快要死去的(dying)樹墩?!睒湔f。男
