says,“My

what's

no
answer.

Jimmy's pictures
were different from
other people's because he never
painted it on all of the paper. He
painted on half of it, and the other
half was always
empty

“That's

everybody
said.“
Nobody

that!”
They
all

“这真是个

Why
do
you

“Because I'm

Living like a Pig
像猪一样生活
One day, a
guru(
印度教大师
)knew what he
would be in his next life. So he
called
his
favorite
disciple(
徒弟
)
and
asked
him
what
he
would
do
to
show
thanks.
The
disciple said he would do
whatever
his guru asked him
to do.
After the guru
received
the promise, he
said,
“
Then this is what I'd
like you to do for
me. I've just
learned
that when I die very
soon, I'm going to
be born
as a
pig
. Do
you
see that pig eating
rubbish
over there in the
yard
?
I'm
going
to
be
born
as
one
of
its
baby
pigs
.
You
’
ll
recognize(
认出

by
a
mark
on my
face
When the baby pigs have
been born, find the baby pig with a
mark on its face and kill it with your
knife
Then
I
’
ll not
live a
pig's life
Will you do
this
for me?
”
有一天,一位印度
教大师知道了他的来生是个什么样子,因此,他
召来
(call
)
自己
最喜爱的
(favorite)
徒弟,
并问他要做什么来表示感谢。
徒
弟说
无论什么
(whatever)
,
只要大师要求,
他都会去做。
收到
(receive)
这项
承诺
(promise)
之后,大师说:“我现在就告
诉你我希望你为我做的。我
刚刚
得知
(

我就要死了,我会
出生
(

成为一只
猪
(pig

垃圾

我将会是它下一窝猪仔中的一只<

小猪
(baby pig)
。你会从我<

脸

上的
记号
(mark)
认出我
来.当那

刀
(kni

把它杀死,
这样我就
不会
过猪的生活
(live a

。你会为我做吗?”
The disciple was
sad
to hear all this, but he
agreed
to do as he had
promised.
Soon
after
this
conversation
,
things
happened
just
as
the
guru
had
mentioned
.
The
guru died. Four baby pigs were born. One day, the
disciple
held
his knife with
him
and
picked
out
the
baby
pig
with
a
mark
on
its
face.
Just
as
he
was
about
to
kill it,
the little pig
suddenly
spoke,
“
Stop! Don't kill
me!
”
it cried.
The
disciple was very
surprised
,
and he heard the little pig speak
in a
human voice
,
it
said,
“
Don't kill me I want
to live on as a pig. When I asked you to kill me,
I didn't
know what a pig's life would
be like. It's
great
! Just
let me go.
”
听到这些徒
弟很
伤心
(sad)
,但他
同意
(agree)
照大师所说的去做。
事情正和大师
提到
(
mention)
的一样。在他们的
对话
(conversation)
之后不久,大师死了,
四只猪
仔出生了。有一天,徒弟
握着
(hold)
他的刀,
挑选
(pick
out

出脸上有记号的那只小
猪。
当他

正要
(be about to)
杀掉它时
,
小猪
突然
(suddenly)
p>
开口说话:
“住手!
不要杀我!
”
小猪大喊道。
徒弟非
常
吃惊
(surprised)
,他听
到小猪
用人的声音
(in a human voice)
p>
说:“别杀我!我想
要当猪继续活下去。当我要求你杀我时,我并不

很棒

Greenland and Iceland
格林兰岛与冰岛
Greenland
is
the
largest
island
on
earth
.
It
is
in
the
north
of
Europe
.
Near
Greenland
is
another
island.
It
is
small.
Its
name
is
Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is
green
and
warm
? Do you think that
Iceland
is
white
with
ice
? If you do, you are
wrong. Not many people live on the big island
of Greenland. There are more people in
your
hometown than
in all of
Greenland
That is because Greenland is
not green Greenland is white.
Most
of Greenland
is
covered
with
lots
of
ice.
The
ice
covering
Greenland
is
higher
than some
of the
world's
buildings
.
What
about Iceland?
Is it
colder
than Greenland? No,
it is not.
Iceland
has
ice,
but
not
so
much
ice
as Greenland
.
Iceland
has
a
Lot
of
hot
springs(
温泉
).
They
give
out
hot
water
and
steam
(
蒸汽
).
So
it
is
not
as
cold
as
Greenland
. And
there are a lot more people who live inIceland.
格林兰岛是

格林兰

温暖的
(warm)
吗?你认为冰岛是

/p>
你这样想,你就错了。格林兰岛上没有很多人居住。你
家乡

比

整
个格林兰岛的居民都多。那是因为格
林兰岛不是绿色的,它是白色的。格林兰岛的
大部分
(most

覆盖着
(be

with)
很多冰。覆盖格林兰岛的冰比这个世界上的一些
建筑物
(building)
还要高。
冰岛怎样呢
(what
about
Iceland)?
它比格林兰岛还要
冷
p>
(cold)
吗?不,
不是的。冰岛有冰,
但
不像格林兰岛那么多的冰
(not so much ice
as Greenland)
。冰岛有
很多温泉。
这些温泉
放出
(give out)
热水和蒸汽,
因此冰岛
不像格林兰岛那样冷
(not as cold
as
Greenland)
。而且冰岛的居民远远多于格林兰岛。

A
Competition of Lying
说谎比赛
A
certain

was very unhappy about
modern education

One day he was
taking a walk

standing
around
a

cat.
The

gentlemen
went
up
to
the
boys
and
asked them what was
happening
. One of the boys
said to him“We're
having
a
competition
.
We're telling lies
, and the
one who tells the
biggest lie will keep
the cat.”
The
old
gentleman
thought
this
was
a
good
chance
to
teach
the
boys
a
useful
lesson,
so he said to them,“I've never told a lie in my
life”.
At
once
there was a

from
all the boys, and they
said,“You've
