12.格林蘭島與冰島

格林蘭島是世界上(onearth)最大的島嶼(largestisland)。它位于歐洲(Europe)的北部(north)。

在格林蘭島的附近有另外一個(gè)島。這個(gè)島很小。它的名字叫冰島。你認(rèn)為格林蘭島是綠色(green)、溫

暖的(warm)嗎？你認(rèn)為冰島是冰(ice)覆蓋的白色(white)島嶼嗎？如果你這樣想，你就錯(cuò)了。格林蘭

島上沒(méi)有很多人居住。你家鄉(xiāng)(hometown)的人會(huì)比(than)整個(gè)格林蘭島的居民都多。那是因?yàn)楦窳?/p>

蘭島不是綠色的，它是白色的。格林蘭島的大部分(most)覆蓋著(becoveredwith)很多冰。覆蓋格林

蘭島的冰比這個(gè)世界上的一些建筑物(budding)還要高。冰島怎樣呢(whataboutIceland)?它比格林

蘭島還要冷(cold)嗎？不，不是的。冰島有冰，但不像格林蘭島那么多的冰(notsomuchiceas

Greenland),,冰島有很多溫泉。這些溫泉放出(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(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于格林蘭島。

刻(atonce)所有孩子異口同聲地大喊(shout):"你贏(win)了！這只貓屬于你了(Thecatbelongsto

15.蘋(píng)果樹(shù)(1)

很久以前有一棵巨大的(huge)蘋(píng)果樹(shù)(叩pietree)。一個(gè)小男孩每天都喜歡來(lái)到樹(shù)旁玩耍。他爬

(climb)到樹(shù)頂、吃蘋(píng)果、在樹(shù)下玩……他愛(ài)這棵樹(shù)，樹(shù)也爰和他一起玩。

隨著時(shí)間的流逝，小男孩長(zhǎng)大了他不再到樹(shù)旁玩耍了。

(growup)o

一天，男孩回到樹(shù)旁，他看起來(lái)很悲傷。"來(lái)和我玩吧!"樹(shù)說(shuō)。

“我不再是個(gè)小孩(kid),我不會(huì)再到樹(shù)下玩耍了男孩答道，"我想要玩具(toy),我需要(need)

錢(qián)來(lái)買(mǎi)」

"很遺憾，我沒(méi)有錢(qián)。但是你可以摘(pick)我所有的蘋(píng)果拿去賣(mài)。這樣你就有錢(qián)了。"男孩很興奮

(excited).他摘掉樹(shù)上所有的蘋(píng)果，然后高興地離開(kāi)了。摘過(guò)蘋(píng)果以后,男孩沒(méi)再回來(lái)(comeback).

樹(shù)很傷心。

一天，男孩回來(lái)(return)了，樹(shù)非常興奮，"來(lái)和我玩吧"，樹(shù)說(shuō)。"我沒(méi)有時(shí)間玩.我不得不(have

to)為我的家庭工作。我們需要一個(gè)房子，你能幫我嗎？""很遺憾，我沒(méi)有房子。但是，你可以砍下

(cutoff)我的樹(shù)枝來(lái)建房。"因此，男孩砍下所有的樹(shù)枝，高高興興地離開(kāi)了。

看到他充滿歡樂(lè)(fullofjoy),樹(shù)也很高興(glad)。但是，自從(since)那時(shí)起，男孩沒(méi)再出現(xiàn)

(appear),樹(shù)很孤獨(dú)(lonely)很悲傷。
