人物篇
1. My Father
One of my earliest memories of Dad is that he would often leave the house at dawn to go
jogging. He was a traditional Chinese father, which means that he didn't show his affection for his
kids easily. And he and I didn't talk much.
Some time ago, he made me go jogging with him. I hated it because I didn't know what to
say to him. Needless to say, I did not enjoy exercising with Dad. However, as time went by, he and
I began to talk while jogging. Later, he even began to tell me jokes! It was a side of him that I had
never seen before. I'm Bald that he made me go jogging with him because our relationship has
greatly improved as a result.
我的父亲
我对父亲最早的一些记忆 之一是他以前常在黎明时离家去慢跑。他是一个传统的中国父
亲，这意味着他不轻易对儿女表露他的情感 ，而且我和他并不常交谈。
前一阵子，他叫我和他去慢跑。我讨厌和他慢跑，因为我不知道要 和他说什么。不用说，
我不喜欢和爸爸一起运动。然而，随着时间推移，我和他开始在慢跑时交谈。后来 ，他甚至
开始讲笑话给我听！这是我以前从未见过的一面。我很高兴他要我和他去慢跑，因为我们的父子关系因此大为改善。

2. My Neighbor
Next to us lives Mr. Zhang, who is a street-sweeper. He is in his early sixties and looks quite
stern but, in fact, he is easy to get along with and is always considerate of others. Even though he
is uneducated, he is a pleasant man to talk to.
Rain or shine, he goes out to work in the early morning when there is little traffic on the road.
Because uncaring people litter the streets with so much garbage，he cannot take a rest until noon.
To my surprise, he never complains about his hard and dirty work. In a word，I don't look down
upon him just because he is a street-sweeper; instead, I respect my kind neighbor.
我的邻居
我们家隔壁住着一位张先生，他是一个清道夫。他年 约60出头，看起来很严肃;但事实
上，他很容易相处而且总是为别人设想。虽然他没受过教育，但和他 交谈是件令人愉快的事。
不论晴雨，他都会在一大早交通流量还很小时就出去工作。因为那些 没有公德心的人会
在街道上乱丢大量的垃圾，所以他直到中午才能休息。令我惊讶的是，他从不抱怨他那 辛苦
又肮脏的工作。总之，我不会因他是个清道夫就看不起他; 相反地，我尊敬我的这位好邻居。

3. My Mother
My mother was an elementary school teacher until she retired two years ago. She devoted
herself to teaching for forty-five years. That is, she spent the best part of her life educating her
students. Although she isn't a teacher now, she is still very much concerned about the development
of education in Taiwan.
Though Mom is no longer a career woman, she is busy all the time. Each day she gets up
early to prepare our breakfast and does all the housework. In addition, she goes to a temple and
volunteers to help the priests and worshippers with little chores. As Teacher's Day is drawing near,
I wish her eternal health and happiness. After all，mothers are the world's greatest educators.
我的妈妈
我妈妈本来是个小学老师，她 在两年前退休了。她献身教育达45年之久。换句话说，
她把最美好的青春岁月用来教导她的学生。虽然 她现在不是老师，但她仍然很关心台湾的教
育发展。
虽然妈妈不再是职业妇女，但她 仍然无时无刻不在忙。她每天都早起准备我们的早餐和
做所有的家务。此外，她也到一座寺庙去自愿帮助 那些僧侣及信徒们做些小杂事。因为教师
节快到了，我祝她永远健康快乐。毕竟，妈妈们是世界上最伟大 的教育家。

4. My Brother
In his teachers' and my parents' eyes, my youngest brother is a sidetracked young man, but in
mine, he is a musical genius. He has a terrible attendance record at school and actually quit going
twice. The fact is that it's music which really interests him. Indeed, he has a musical bent; he sings
well, is gifted in composing songs, and even formed a band with his buddies.
I enjoy listening to the songs he writes and, although the lyrics are sort of immature，they
come straight from the heart. He says his dream is to make music his career. Who knows if he is
on the right track or not? But I do know that whatever he does, music will always be a part of his
life.
我的弟弟
在老师和父母 眼中，我的弟弟是个偏离正途的年轻人，然而在我眼中，他是个音乐天才。
他出勤的记录很差，实际上还 休学两次。事实上真正令他感兴趣的是音乐。他的确很有音乐
天分:他歌唱得好，有作词作曲的天赋，甚 至还跟他的哥们儿组成一支乐团。
我喜欢听他写的歌，虽然歌词有点不成熟，但那是直接发自 他内心的情感。他说他的梦
想是献身音乐工作。谁知道他走的是不是正途呢?但我倒知道不管他做什么， 音乐永远是他
生活中的一部分。

经历篇
5. On a Crowded bus
I am a senior high student who has to commute from home to school every day. It is always
an ordeal for me to try to get on a crowded bus. I am often squeezed so hard that I can't breathe.
Once I felt someone pushing me very hard, and then he touched my rear. I couldn't turn
around to see who did it because I was sand-wicked between two tall men. I was so angry that
when the bus arrived at my school, I clenched my fists and elbowed my way through the crowd
and got off. Then, to my dismay, I found that my purse had been stolen from my school bag.
挤公交车

我是一位每天必须通勤的高中生。对我来说，要挤上公交车 总是一种很痛苦的经历。我
常常被挤得喘不过气来。
有一次我觉得有人一直在挤我， 然后他摸我屁股。我无法转过去看是谁做的，因为我被
夹在两名高个子中间。在公交车到达学校时，我气 得握紧拳头从人群中挤下车。然后，令我
惊慌的是，我发现书包里的钱包被偷走了。

6. Seeing a Doctor
Seeing a doctor is the last thing I want to do. I hate waiting long hours in a hospital，only to
spend five minutes with an indifferent doctor. Most of them just ask a few questions and then give
you a prescription. In my opinion，they are more like machines than sym-pathetic people.
I had a severe pain in my right shoulder a few months ago. I had no choice but to see a doctor.
To my surprise，the doctor was very kind. He asked me some questions and thoroughly examined
my shoulder. He said I would have to take some medicine for two months and get plenty of rest.
Now I have fully recovered and feel great. Although I was at first reluctant，I'm glad I went to see
the doctor.
看医生
看医生是我最不想做的事 ，我讨厌在医院里等候很久，但却只花五分钟就被漠不关心的
医生打发走一大部分的医生只是问儿个问题 ，然后就开给你一张处方依我看，他们比较像机
器而不像是有同情心的人
几个月前， 我的右肩剧烈疼痛我除了去看医生外别无选择。令我惊讶的是，那个医生很
好，他问了我一些问题并全面 检查我的肩膀，他说我必须吃两个月的药并要充分地休息。现
在我已经完全康复并且感觉很好虽然当初我 很不愿就医，但我很高兴去看了医生。

7. A Valuable Lesson
Last Mid-Autumn Festival was an unforgettable day for me. Partly because I ate too many
moon cakes and partly because the moon cakes had spoilt, 1 had a bad stomachache. Not only did
I vomit, but I had the runs. Subsequently, I was sent to the hospital.
This unfortunate experience taught me a valuable lesson. That is, one should eat moderately.
As the old saying goes，off more than you can chew.” You can be sure that I will keep
that in mind from now on.
宝贵的教训
对我来说，去年的中秋节是难忘的一天。一 方面因为我吃了太多的月饼，另一方面因为
月饼馊掉了，结果我腹痛如绞，上吐下泻。后来，我被送进了 医院。
这次不幸的经历给了我一个宝贵的教训。也就是说，吃东西要有节制。俗话说:“贪多
嚼不烂。”你应当相信，从今以后我会把它牢记于心。

8. An Unlucky Day
When I got up this morning，I had a strange feeling that it just wasn't going to be my day.
First，because I got up late, I missed breakfast. Then，as I was dashing to the bus stop to catch my
bus, I stepped on a banana peel，slipped and fell on my backside.
To make matters worse，the bus didn't stop for me because it was packed. I had no choice but
to take a taxi. Not until the taxi got to my school did I realize I had left my wallet at home. After I
did a lot of explaining and apologizing, the driver let me go. Finally, 1 arrived at the school gate.
To my astonishment, I suddenly realized it was a school holiday. It never rains but it pours.

倒霉的一天
今天早上起床时，我就有一种奇怪的感觉 ，那就是今天会诸事不顺。首先，因为我起得
晚而错过了吃早餐。然后，我赶到公交车站乘公交车时，踩 到了一块香蕉皮而滑倒，跌了个
四脚朝天。
更糟糕的是，公交车因为客满而没有停下来让我上车, 我除了乘出租车之外别无选择。
直到出租车开到 我学校时我才知道我把皮夹忘在家里了。经过一连串的解释和道歉之后，那
个司机才让我走。最后我来到 了学校大门口。令我惊讶的是，我突然发现今天是学校假日。
真是祸不单行啊。

9. That Unforgettable Day
I will always remember New Year's Day in that morning my sister and I received
a phone call. We were told Grandma had fainted and was being taken to a hospital in Taichung.
The moment we received the message, my uncle drove us to the hospital as fast as he could. It was
a long journey from Taipei.
While we were on the road, holiday bumper-to-bumper traffic slowed us down to a snail's
pace and a car accident the previous day made the congestion worse. Consequently, we got stuck
for more than six hours on the highway. We were worried about Grandma the whole time. As soon
as we arrived at the Taian Rest Area, we anxiously phoned home. However, Grandma had died of
heart failure just half an hour before we called.
难忘的一天
我将永远记得2001年的元旦 。那天一大清早，我姐姐和我接到一个电话。电话中我们
得知祖母昏倒后正被送到台中一家医院。一接到 这个消息，叔叔便尽快地载我们到医院去。
从台北到台中路很长。
一路上，假日大排长龙的车 流使我们慢得如蜗牛一般，而前一天的一场车祸使塞车更为
严重。因此，我们在高速公路上被困了六个多 小时。我们一直担心祖母。一到泰安休息区，
我们满怀焦虑地打电话回家乙然而，在我们打电话前半小时 ，祖母已因心脏衰竭而去世。
想像篇
10. If 1 Were a University Student
Going to university has been my dream for a long time. If I had the chance to become a
university student, I would make every effort to expand my knowledge. I would not only study art
as my major, but also minor in philosophy and English literature.
In the meantime, I would also involve myself in extracurricular activities such as swimming
and mountain climbing. And last but not least, I would pursue the most beautiful lady on campus.
With these goals in mind, I am determined to study as hard as possible to make my dream come
true.
如果我是个大学生
长久以来上大学一直是我的梦想。如果我有 机会成为大学生的话，我会尽全力来扩充我
的知识。我不仅要主修艺术，而且还要副修哲学和英国文学。
同时，我也要参加像游泳和爬山等的课外活动。最后还有一件重要的事情就是，我要去
追求校园内最漂亮的女生。在这些目标的驱使下，我决心要努力学习以实现我的梦想。

11. What I Want to Do after the CEE
Even as a child I had a musical bent, and enjoyed playing the piano. In high school I dreamed
of playing the guitar in a rock band, but because of the pressure of schoolwork, I never had

enough time to practice, nor did any of my classmates.
However, once I enter college, I intend to devote more time to my personal interests,
especially music. Perhaps I'll be able to get together with other schoolmates of similar disposition,
and finally form that band I've always dreamed of.
高考后我最想做的事
自小我就对音乐相当喜爱，而且喜欢弹钢琴。高中时，我梦想在摇滚乐团里弹吉他，但
是因为学业的压力 ，我和同学都没有足够的时间练习。
然而，一旦我上了大学，我打算多花些时间在个人兴趣上 ，特别是音乐。或许我能和其
他志同道合的同学联合起来组成那个我一直梦想的乐团。

12. If I Won the Lottery
To win first prize in the lottery is most people's dream. If I were the lucky one, I would spend
many sleepless nights out of excitement planning for the future. I would divide my money into
two parts: half for my parents and half for myself.
Overseas travel would be the first thing that I would do. Romantic Europe, the wilds of
Africa and mysterious Southeast Asia are the dreamlands that I would see. I would be able to put
the drudgery of studying aside and leave my world full of pressures far behind for a while. Oh! If
only I could win the lottery!
假如我中大奖
中一等奖是大多数人的梦想如果我是那名幸运者，我会兴奋得花很多夜 晚计划未来而不
能成眠我会把钱分成两部分: 一半给父母，一半留给我自己。
国外 旅行将会是我想做的第一件事浪漫的欧洲、非洲的原野以及神秘的东南亚都是我想
一窥其貌的乐土二我就 能够暂时把乏味的功课放在一边，将我那充满压力的小天地抛诸脑后
啊! 但愿我能中奖!

13. When I Grow Up
When I grow up，I don't want to be like my parents. I don't want to be like my teacher, either.
In fact, I don't want to be like anybody I know. Everybody is just too busy. They don't seem to
have time for anything except work. They have their lives, but to me, they aren't really living.
There must be more to life than just work.
I have，therefore, decided that when I grow up, I want to be a writer. I will travel around as
much as possible to learn about life. Eventually, I'll write a book telling people how to live a full
life. I may be too ambitious, but I believe that one day my dream will come true.
当我长大后
我长大后，不要像我父母一样我也不要像我的老师二事实上 ，我不要像我认识的任何人。
每个人都太忙碌了。他们似乎除了工作之外就没有时间做任何事:他们有自 己的生活，但对
我而言，他们并不是真的活。生活中一定有比工作更重要的事。
因此，我决定长大后要当作家: 我要尽可能到世界各地去旅行来体验人生。最后，我要
写一本书来告诉 人们如何过充实的生活我也许野心太大了，但我相信我的梦想总有一天会实
现的。


休闲篇
14. My Leisure-Time Activity

When I have free time, I usually go mountain climbing alone. The mountain where I go all
the time isn't very high or rugged; therefore, it only takes me about half an hour to reach the top.
The surrounding scenery is very charming. It's no doubt the best place to view the rough sea.
Moreover, when in high spirits, I'll sing several folk songs. Sometimes I'll bring a novel with
me and do some leisure reading. After climbing the mountain, I'll be exhausted, but soon I'll feel
energetic again because of the fresh air at the top of the mountain. What's more, it makes me
forget all my worries. As mountain climbing is so much fun, it's really worthwhile doing this
healthful activity on a regular basis.
我的休闲活动
我有空时，常一个人去爬山。我经常去爬的山不是很高，也不崎岖; 因此，我只花了大
约半小时就到达 山顶。四周的风景非常迷人。无疑地，那是观赏波涛汹涌的大海的最佳地点。
而且，兴致高昂 时，我会唱几首民谣。有时候，我会随身带本小说，悠闲自得地读一读。
爬完山后，我会精疲力竭，但是 因为山顶上空气新鲜，我很快又会觉得精力充沛。此外，爬
山还让我忘却所有的烦恼。因为爬山那么有趣 ，所以定期参加此有益健康的活动是值得的。

15. Flying a Kite
Kite flying is becoming increasingly popular. Young and old alike can be seen in parks
enjoying this healthy outdoor recreation.
Some people enjoy watching the multicolored kites high up in the sky. Others find it thrilling
to control a flying object. By tugging at the string the kite will ascend. A slack string will allow the
kite to drift with the wind and descend. As far as I am concerned, flying a kite is fun because it
gives me an excuse to laze away a sunny afternoon daydreaming while watching the delicate kites
bobbing up and down.
放风筝
放风筝越来越流行了。我们可以看见老老少少在公园里享受这个健康的户外娱乐。
有些人喜欢 看五彩缤纷的风筝高高飘在空中，也有些人觉得操纵飞行物体很刺激。我们
用力拉线时，风筝会上升:一 条放松的线会让风筝随风飘动而下降。就我而言，放风筝很好
玩，因为那可以给我一个借口一边看那优美 的风筝上下飘动，一边做白日梦，懒散地打发一
个晴朗的下午。

16. How I Spend my Weekends
I welcome weekends with open arms. After school on Fridays I grab a bite to eat and then
immediately take a long nap. God knows I need the sleep to recuperate. Friday evening is my
favorite time of the week. That's the time when I usually listen to CDs. I dim the lights in my room
and let my mind drift far away. On Saturdays I enjoy eating out with my family. After that I
might do some shopping with Mom .Invariably，I sleep late on Sunday mornings, and soon after I
get up, I start preparing for another grueling week at school.
Although weekends aren't very adventurous, by mid-week I find myself longing for them.
我如何过周末
我非常欢迎周末的到来。每个星期五放学后，我会随便吃 一点东西，然后立刻好好睡个
午觉。老天知道我多需要补充睡眠。星期五晚上是一星期中我最喜欢的时刻 。那通常是我听
CD唱片的时候。我会将我的房间的灯光弄暗，让我的思绪神游至远方。星期六我喜欢跟 家
人出去吃饭。吃完饭后，我可能会和妈妈去逛街。星期天早上我一定会睡得很晚才起床，起
床 后我会立刻开始准备学校下一周累人的功课。

虽然周末不是很刺激，但每到星期三时我就发现我很渴望周末的到来。
学习篇
17. The Joy of Reading
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. People who read are usually more
open-minded and rarely bored. Through reading different kinds of books, you can broaden your
mind and stimulate your imagination.
Furthermore, reading is not an expensive pastime. It doesn't cost you much money because
you can easily borrow books from a library or friends. It is especially good for the whole family.
For instance, my family likes to read. We often spend evenings together discussing literature and
sharing insights from books. Hence, reading brings us closer together.
阅读的乐趣
阅读之于心灵犹如运动之于身体。阅读的人心胸通常较为开阔且鲜少感到 无聊。通过阅
读不同种类的书，你可以开阔心胸和激发想象力。
此外，阅读是一种花 费不多的消遣。它不会花你许多钱，因为你可以很容易地向图书馆
或朋友借到书。阅读对于全家人而言特 别有益。举例来说，我的家人喜欢阅读。我们经常利
用晚上的时间聚在一起讨论文学和分享从书中得来的 见解。因此，阅读使我们更亲密地在一
起。

18. Why Learn English ?
There are many advantages to learning English. English is an international language. If you
can speak it, you'll have little difficulty traveling anywhere. And if you can read it, you can
acquire firsthand information about what is going on in the world. Mastering English, however,
can't be done overnight. It takes time and patience.
To begin with, you should get yourself a good dictionary. Consult it when encountering a
word you don't understand. Any reading material is fine, but make sure you study for at least two
hours every day. Keep in mind that there are no shortcuts to learning English. It takes a lot of hard
work, but the reward is well worth the effort.
为何学英语?
学英语有许多好处 英语是国际语言如果你会说英语，那么你到任何地方去都不会有什么
困难。而且如果你会读英语的话，那 么你对世界上所发生的事可随时获得第一手的资料。然
而精通英语却不是一朝一夕就可办到的这需要时间 和耐心。
首先，你必须给自己找一本好词典。遇到你不懂的单词时就要查词典。任何的阅读材
料都可以，但是务必要做到每天至少读两个小时的书。切记学英语是没有捷径的。这需要下
很多功夫，但 就其获益而言，这样的努力是非常值得的。

19. One Way to Improve Your English
My classmate, Lily, and I are the best students in our English class. Do you know how we
improve our English? We meet twice a week in a coffee shop to practice. We spend the whole
afternoon discussing a wide range of topics in English. Then once a week an American friend,
Stan, does language exchange with us. We teach him Chinese and he teaches us English. In less
than six months, we have improved by leaps and bounds.
We have also met other Americans through Stan. Now we have quite a few American friends.
And of course, we always speak English with them. This way of learning English has worked
wonders for us. Maybe it could work for you, too.

提高英语的方法
我和我的的同学莉莉是我们英语班上成绩最好的学生。你知道我们是如何使英语进步的
吗? 我们每星期 在一家咖啡厅见面两次练习英语，我们整个下午都用英语讨论各种不同的主
题。然后一位美国朋友斯坦每 个星期和我们做一次语言交流。我们教他中文，他则教我们英
语。不到6个月的时间，我们的英语便突廷 猛进。
通过斯坦我们也认识了其他的美国人。现在我们已经有了不少的美国朋友。当然，我们
总是用英语和他们交谈。这种学英语的方法对我们产生了惊人的效果，或许这对你也有用哦。

20. Learning from Mistakes
Some people think that making mistakes is shameful. But the fact of the matter is that
mistakes are a common part of everyone's life. No one is perfect. It's unreasonable to expect a
person to be right all the time. However, we should do our utmost to avoid making the same
mistake twice.
It is my feeling that making a mistake may turn out to be a good thing. It is through our
errors that we can find the path to doing things correctly. Finally, it is important to remember that
few mistakes are so terrible that they cannot be corrected.
从错误中学习
有些人认为犯错是可耻的。但事实上，犯错是每个人生活中很普通的事。没有人是完美
无瑕的。期望一个 人永远正确是不合理的，然而，我们应该竭尽所能避免再犯相同的错误。
我觉得犯错反而可能 是一件好事。通过错误我们才能找到把事情做对的途径。最后，还
有很重要的一点必须记住，那就是几乎 没有任何错误会严重到无法改正的地步。

21. English and I
English used to be a headache to me. I always found it difficult to memorize new vocabulary.
Grammar was also a closed book to me because there were many exceptions to the rules I had
learned, which almost drove me crazy. Needless to say, my English was poor, but I persevered.
Fortunately, I had a patient teacher- Rather than scold me, he kept on encouraging me. With
his help and my diligence, my English improved step by step. After some time, I didn't seem to be
struggling in English anymore. In fact, English is now my strongest subject. It only goes to show
that there's no substitute for hard work.
我和英语
英语以前对我而言是件头痛的事。我总是觉得记新的单词很困 难。我对语法也一窍不通，
因为我所学的语法规则里有很多例外，而这几乎把我逼疯了。不用说，我的英 语很烂，但我
却持之以恒。
幸运的是，我有个很有耐心的老师，他没有责备我，反而 一直鼓励我。在他的帮助
和我的勤奋之下，我的英语逐渐地进步。过了一些时日，我在学英语方面似乎不 再那么辛苦
了。事实上，英语现在是我最强的一科，这就说明了没有什么事情可以代替努力用功。

友谊篇
22. A Special Friend
Not until I got acquainted with Fanny did I learn to be independent. I first noticed this unique
girl because of her skinny legs. Even though she is crippled from pollio, she is not crippled by
feelings of inferiority. In fact, she is talented and excels in many ways.
Having a handicapped body doesn't mean having an impaired personality. Fanny understands

that she can't help her parents on the farm, and she doesn't want to be a burden to them. So she is
determined to live an active and independent life. She is such a responsible and diligent girl that
she makes me feel as if I were still a child. Her maturity and optimism inspire me. I hope her
dream of traveling around the world on her own will be realized soon.
一个特别的朋友
直到认识了范妮我才学会独立。起初，我是因为她那皮包骨的瘦腿才注意到这个独特的
女孩。虽然她因患 小儿麻痹而下肢残障，但她并没有自卑的残障心理。事实上，她有才华且
在许多方面表现突出。
身体残障并不表示人格受损。范妮知道自己无法在农场帮助父母，而她也不想成为他们
的负担。所以她下定决心要过积极与独立的生活。她是个有责任心而又勤奋的女孩，以至令
我觉得自己好 像还是个小孩。她的成熟与乐观使我受到激励。我希望她独立环游世界的梦想
能够早日实现。

23. Friends
Friends are among the most valuable assets one can possess. I am a very lucky person
because I have many close friends. They are very important to me. Whenever I feel down, they
will try to cheer me up. And when I am in trouble, they never fail to offer me help. Even when I
am happy, it makes me feel good to share my happiness with them.
My teacher once said,
life would be like without friends? It would be boring beyond words. There is one thing I have to
say, though. I choose my friends very carefully. This is because bosom friends are hard to find
while fair-weather friends can be found by the dozens.
朋友
朋友是一个人所能拥有的最重要 的财产之一。我是个非常幸运的人，因为我有许多要好
的朋友，他们对我而言非常重要。每逢我感到沮丧 时，他们总会设法逗我开心。我有麻烦时，
他们一定会帮助我。我快乐时，与他们分享我的快乐也会令我 觉得很愉快。
我的老师曾说:“我们都是群居的动物”他说得真好！你能想象没有朋友的人生会是什< br>么样子吗? 那将会无聊得难以形容，不过，有件事我得声明。我择友非常谨慎小心，这是因
为酒 肉朋友易得而知心朋友难觅啊。

24. What Is a Friend?
Most people think that a friend in need is a friend indeed. A good friend is someone who is
always there to lend a helping hand. He will never let you down or betray you. In times of trouble
you can always count on him.
As far as I am concerned, a true friend is simply a person who cares. He is a person who will
patiently listen to my problems or lend me a shoulder to cry on. I hate to think of friends as only
people who can be helpful. For me, the ones who really care are the ones that really matter.
何谓朋友?
大部分的人认为患难见真情。好朋友是随时随地准备伸 出援手的人。他永远不会让你失
望或背叛你。在有困难时你可以随时依赖他。
就我个 人而言，真正的朋友就是会关心你的人。他会耐心倾听我的问题，或让我趴在他
的肩膀上哭一场。我讨厌 将朋友看作是仅能提供帮助的人。对我而言，真正关心我的朋友才
是真正的朋友。

25. My Best Friend
Irene has been my best friend since we were little. We have shared our ups and downs and
have the same dreams for the future. She is outgoing, optimistic and agreeable. She always looks
on the bright side of things and likes to laugh all the time.
In the teachers' eyes, she is not a good student. She seldom pays attention to what the
teachers say, doesn't like to read textbooks and, therefore, does poorly on the exams. However, she
is well-read and talented. She spends a lot of time reading novels and poems. When it comes to
music, she excels in singing and playing many musical instruments. I'm so lucky to have such a
wonderful friend that I will cherish our friendship forever.
我最好的朋友
从小艾琳就是我最好的朋友。我们甘苦与共，对未来有着相同的梦想。她外向、乐观而
且性情和善，她总 是看人生的光明面而且老是喜欢笑。
在老师的眼中，她不是一个好学生。她很少注意听老师说 什么，不喜欢念教科书，因此
考试成绩很差。然而，她博览群书而且多才多艺。她花很多时间看小说和诗 。说到音乐，她
擅长唱歌和吹奏各种乐器。我真幸运有这么一位好朋友，因此我要永远珍惜我们的友谊。

26. Keeping Good Company
Just like reading good books, keeping good company helps broaden your knowledge and
vision of the world. Likewise, maintaining bad company will surely lead you astray. But what is
the definition of good company?
More than two thousand five hundred years ago, Confucius taught his pupils to make friends
with those who were honest, sincere and had gained wisdom through education and experience.
His principle is still suitable for our modern society. Good companions will advise you, comfort
you and support you whenever you are in need. In short, good company matures you and inspires
you to continue advancing through life.
结交益友
就像阅读好书一样，结交益友能帮助你开拓知识领域和视野。同样地，结交损友一定会
引你误人歧途。但 是益友的定义是什么呢?
两千五百多年以前，孔夫子教导自己的门生要结交诚实、真挚并通过 教育及经历获得智
慧的朋友。他讲的道理仍适用于我们的现代社会。益友会在你有困难时规劝你、安慰你 并支
持你。简言之，益友使你的思想成熟并能激励你在一生中不断进步。

旅游篇
27. A Trip to Kenting
In spite of the oncoming typhoon, May and I still went on our trip to Kenting. We rented a
scooter as soon as we arrived and began our exciting adventure. Our first stop was Sheding Park, a
wild nature park. We took a walk on the trails and spotted many goats. We were so thrilled that we
decided to follow them. It wasn't long before we realized we had gotten lost. It took us hours to
get out of the woods.
On the way back to our hostel, I was so taken with the lovely scene that I crashed into a fence.
Fortunately, May and I were not injured. The next day, we went to the beach for a swim. The sea
was so rough, we almost drowned. Despite all that had happened, our trip was really an
unforgettable adventure.
垦丁之旅

尽管台风即将来临，我和梅仍然去垦丁玩。我们一到垦丁就租了一辆小型摩托车展开刺
激的历险。我们的 第一站是社顶公园，一座原始的自然公园。我们在小径上散步时看见了许
多山羊，我们非常兴奋，因此决 定跟踪它们。没多久我们就迷路了，我们花了好几个小时才
走出森林。
在回旅社的途 中，我欣赏美景太过人神以致撞上一处围栏。幸好，我和梅都没受伤。第
二天，我们到海滩游泳。海上风 浪很大，因此我们差点淹死。尽管发生厂这么多事，此行依
然令人难忘。

28. A Trip to Malaysia
During spring vacation my family and I went to Malaysia for a short holiday. After a
three-hour flight, we landed in Penang, the country's second largest city. Then we took a long bus
trip followed by a nice little boat ride to Pangkor, an off-the-beaten- path vacation spot in
Malaysia.
Pangkor's smooth blue sea, fine swimming beaches and unpolluted environment make it a
dreamland for those who want to get away from it all for a while. There we engaged in such
thrilling water sports as deep-sea fishing, jet-skiing, and even parasailing! What's more, drinking
fresh coconut milk was an experience I will never forget. For those who haven't been to Malaysia,
such a trip is well worth taking.
马来西亚之旅
春假时，我和家人到马来西亚作短期旅游。经过二个小时的飞行，我们抵达马来西亚第
二大城—槟城。然后我们坐了很久的巴士，再搭小渡船到马来西亚一处偏远的度假胜地—邦
咯岛。
邦咯岛平静无波的蓝色海洋，美丽的海滩和未受污染的环境，是那些想暂时放下一切出
外遨游者的乐土。在那里我们参加了各种惊险刺激的水上活动，例如深海钓鱼、水上摩托车
甚至还有滑翔 伞飞行！更棒的是，喝新鲜的椰子汁是一项我永远不会忘记的经历。对尚未去
过马来西亚的人来说，前往 一游是值得的。

29. A Trip to Honeymoon Bay
I had a chance to visit Honeymoon Bay with my girlfriend last Sunday. It was a very
interesting experience. The bay is a scenic spot located about seventy kilometers southeast of
Taipei. We went there by train. Along the way, I took in the local scenery such as rice fields, farm
houses and green mountains.
When we got there, we were tired but happy. We took a casual stroll down to the beach and
picked up some seashells. We also built sandcastles on the beach. That reminded me of my happy
childhood. At dusk, the glory of the setting sun reflecting on the ocean created a beautiful picture.
We had such a good time that we decided to visit Honeymoon Bay again in the near future.
蜜月湾之旅
上个星期天，我有机会和女友一起去蜜月湾游玩。那是一次很有趣的经历。这个海湾是
位于台北东南方大约7o公里处的风景区。我们乘火车到那里。沿途我欣赏着当地的景色，
像稻田、农舍 和青山。
到达那儿时，我们虽然感到疲倦，但是却很快乐。我们沿着海滩随意漫步，也捡了些 贝
壳。我们也在海滩上堆沙堡。那使我想起我的快乐童年。黄昏时，落日余晖映照在海面上，
塑 造出一幅美丽的画面。我们玩得非常愉快，因而我们决定在不久的将来再去蜜月湾游玩。

30. Traveling
Traveling is one of the fastest and best ways to acquaint yourself with the world. The more
involved you get, the more you learn. It introduces you to magnificent scenery and broadens your
mind. While traveling, you can not only pick up the languages of various countries but also learn
to appreciate their art and culture. I'm especially interested in learning about the local customs and
unique activities of different places.
Visiting a strange place can be adventurous and exciting. If you don't take a trip to another
country, you will never realize how wonderful it is. In exotic places, it's easier to relax and forget
your worries. What's more, such places provide opportunities to meet different and interesting
people. Why not plan for a trip right now? You won't regret it.
旅游
旅游是 熟悉世界最快最好的方式之一。你投人越多，学得就越多。它将绝佳的景色呈现
在你面前开阔你的心胸。 旅行时，你不仅能学习不同国家的语言，也可以学习欣赏它们的艺
术与文化。我对学习有关当地的习俗与 不同地方的独特活动特别感兴趣。
游览陌生的地方可能会充满冒险和刺激。如果你不到别的国 家旅行的话，便永远不会明
白那会有多棒。在富有异国情调的地方比较容易放松身心，忘却你所有的烦恼 。此外，这样
的地方也会使你有机会遇见各种各样有趣的人物。何不马上就计划一趟旅行? 你不会后悔
的。

31. A Trip to Paris
I had intended to take a trip to Paris since my brother went there to study. During the last
summer vacation, I was fortunate enough to make my dream come true. I spent more than one
month visiting several magnificent museums and famous architectural sites. What's more, I got
acquainted with a Frenchman, Olivier, who shared an apartment with my brother.
Unlike what I imagined Frenchmen to be, Olivier wasn't arrogant in the least. On the contrary,
he was so easygoing and friendly that he volunteered to be our guide. I remember one day he took
us to a chic cafe and told us that the cup which he was holding was the very same that Picasso had
used. Even though we communicated in simple English, I never felt bored being with him. It was
Olivier who made my memories of Paris so vivid and unforgettable.
巴黎之旅
自从我哥哥到巴黎念书后，我就 一直想到那儿旅行。去年暑假期间，我很幸运地实现了
我的梦想。我花了一个多月的时间参观一些宏伟的 博物馆和一些名建筑所在地。而且，我还
认识了一个法国人奥利维尔，他与我哥哥住同一间公寓。
不像我所想象的法国人，奥利维尔一点也不自大。相反地，他既随和又很友善，所以他
自愿当我们的向导。我记得有一天他带我们到一家别致的咖啡店，并告诉我们他握着的杯子
就是毕加索用 过的同一个杯子。虽然我们用简单的英文沟通，但是跟他在一起时我从不会觉
得乏味。就是奥利维尔使我 对巴黎的回忆如此地生动而难忘。

我的最爱篇
32. My Favorite Season
My favorite season is spring. After a long and cold winter, spring comes to us like a breath of
fresh air. Besides, everything seems to come to life in spring. For example, birds begin to sing
again and flowers bloom and sweeten the air. Moreover, the warm glow of the sun makes me feel
cozy and comfortable.

And last but definitely not least, spring means we get a break from school for the spring
vacation. Every student welcomes holidays and I am no exception. Like most students, I will make
the best use of the vacation to refresh myself. And there's no better season to refresh oneself than
in spring, when it's usually cool and bright.
我最爱的季节
我 最爱的季节是春天。经过漫长寒冷的冬天后，春天就像一股清新气流来到人间，而且
在春天万物似乎都恢 复了生气。举例来说，鸟儿再度歌唱，百花也盛开着，使空气充满着芳
香。此外，暖暖的阳光使我觉得温 暖舒适。
最后但却很重要的一点就是，春天意味着学校会放我们春假。每个学生都欢迎假日， 我
也不例外。跟大部分学生一样，我会充分利用春假来给自己充电一番，而凉爽明媚的春天是
最 能使人精神振作的季节了。
33. My Favorite Fruit
Located in the subtropics, Taiwan is abundant with a variety of fruits all the year round.
Fruits are a daily necessity because they are rich in vitamins which we cannot do without. And,
because of their abundance, they are sold at a reasonable price.
Of Taiwan's various fruits, watermelon is my favorite not only because it is sweet but because
it is juicy. When the summer heat is scorching, having a slice of watermelon quenches my thirst
right away. Mangos, longans, and strawberries are also to my liking. With all of these fruits around,
how lucky I am to live in Taiwan!
我最爱的水果
台 湾地处亚热带，终年盛产各种水果。水果是每日的必需品，因为水果富有我们不可或
缺的维生素，而且， 因为水果产量丰富，价格也很合理。
在台湾各种不同的水果中，西瓜是我最爱吃的，不仅因为 它很甜，而且也因为它多汁。
炎炎酷暑之时，吃一片西瓜可以马上解渴。芒果、龙眼和草毒也是我喜欢吃 的水果。台湾有
这么多水果，我能住在这里何其幸运啊!

34. My Favorite Snack
My favorite snack is instant noodles. They're delicious. Besides, they're cheap, easy to make
and, above all, satisfying. Whenever I get hungry between meals in the afternoon, a bowl of
instant noodles will keep me going till dinner time.
People say, however, that eating instant noodles is bad for your health. They say that that is
because of the preservatives in them. I've also heard that you can become bald from eating a lot of
instant noodles. I wonder if any of this is true. After all, I've been eating instant noodles
throughout my high school years and I'm still as hairy and strong as an ox.
我最爱的小吃
我 最爱的小吃是方便面。这种面很好吃。此外，它们也很便宜，容易泡，尤其是它们能
让你有饱足感。每当 我在中餐和晚餐间肚子饿时，一碗方便面总能让我撑到晚餐时间。
然而，有人说吃方便面不利 健康。他们说那是因为方便面里有防腐剂。我也听说方便面
吃多了有可能会变秃头。我不知道这样的说法 对不对。毕竟，在念中学这几年我一直都在吃
方便面，而我却仍然毛发浓密、强壮如牛。

35. My Favorite Scenic Spot
Of all the scenic spots in Taiwan, Kenting, which is noted for its white sand beaches and its
year-round sunshine, is my favorite. The beauty of the crystal clear seawater and the azure sky is

beyond description. Besides, the natural wonders in Kenting National Park, such as the stalactites
and odd rocks, are most attractive. The luxuriant greenery and various species of flowers are
especially worth seeing.
In Kenting, I enjoy swimming, lying on the sand and basking in the sun to my hearts content.
Staying there for only a few days can make me feel relaxed and then all my troubles will seem to
be far away.
我最爱的风景区
在台湾的风景胜地中，以自色沙滩和终年阳光闻名的垦丁是我最爱的地方。清澈晶莹的
海水以及蔚蓝的天空所构成的美景实非笔墨听能形容。此外，垦丁国家公园的自然奇景，如
钟乳石和奇岩 怪石等，最是引人入胜繁茂的绿色草木和各种各样的花卉特别值得一看。
在垦丁，我喜欢游泳 ，躺在沙滩上，尽情地沐浴在阳光里。只要在那儿待几天就可以使
我感到轻松，而我的烦恼似乎也就烟消 云散了。

36. I Love Summer
Of the four seasons, I love summer best. Although some people complain that the scorching
summer heat is unbearable and that the mosquitoes are irritating, I love summer nonetheless. This
is because the summer vacation gives me a chance to enjoy two months of carefree days.
During the summer, swimming is for me the most refreshing and exciting outdoor activity. To
beat the heat, there's nothing better than soaking in a pool of cool water. An outing in the
countryside is also one of my favorite summertime pleasures. Lying in a meadow under an old tree,
listening to the cicadas' singing, or just taking a nap is nothing short of paradise. Oh! How I long
for summer!
我爱夏天
四季 中我最爱夏天。虽然有些人抱怨无法忍受炎炎暑热，蚊虫惹人厌烦，但我仍然喜欢
夏天、这是因为暑假给 我机会享受两个月自由自在的日子。
