Although I have lost everything, I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down trees and built a house. I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. I‟m even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.⑦
A few weeks ago, I found the marks /mɑ:(r)ks/ of another man‟s feet on the sand /sænd/.⑧Who else is on my island?⑨How long have they been here?⑩Not long after that, I saw some cannibals/‟kænɪblz/ trying to kill two men from a broken ship. One of them died but the other ran towards/tə‟wɔ:dz, tɔ:rdz/ my house.(11) I helped him kill the cannibals. This man now lives with me and helps me. I named him Friday because that was the day I met him.(12) He is smart and I have already taught him some English.

虽然我失去了一切，但至少我还活着。

所以我不会放弃，我将等待另一艘船。

我已经砍倒了树木，并建造了一所房子。

我几乎每天带着枪出去，猎杀动物和鸟作为食物。

我甚至在学习种植水果和蔬菜。

几周前，我在沙滩上发现了另一个人的足迹。

还有谁在我的岛上？他们在这里多久了？在那以后不久，我看到一些食人肉者正试图杀死两个来自破船上的人。

其中一个人死了，但另外一个人朝着我的房子跑过来。

我帮助他杀死了那些食人肉者。

我叫他星期五，因为那是我遇到他的日子。

A Country Music Song Changed Her Life Forever/fər‟evə(r)/
When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family.②But five years ago, while she was studying abroad/ə‟brɔ:d/ in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio.③It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually/‟æktʃuəli/ missed all of them.④Ever since then, she has been a fan /fæn/ of American country music.
Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern/‟sʌð(r)n/ states of America.⑤Nashville/‟næʃvɪl/, Tennessee/,tenə‟si:/ is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern/‟mɒdn,‟mɑ:dərn/ life in the US, such as the importance of money and success/sək‟ses/, but not about belonging/bɪ‟lɒȵɪȵ,bɪ‟lɔ:ȵɪȵ/ to a group.⑥However, country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other an.d trusted one another.⑦It reminds us that the best things in life are free—laughter/‟lɑ:ftə,‟læftə(r)/, friends, family, and the beauty/‟bju:ti/ of nature and the countryside.⑧
Sarah hasn‟t been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day.⑨She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it.⑩She knows that there is a Country Music Hall of Fame/feɪm/ Museum in Nashville. There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth/gɑ:(r)ɵ/ Brooks/brʊks/. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. “Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history.(11) He‟s sold more than 120 million/‟mɪljən/ records/‟rekɔ:dz,‟rekərdz/.(12) I hope to see him sing live one day!(13)”
一首乡村音乐的歌永远改变了她的生活
当萨拉年少时，她几乎每一件事都要与她的家人争吵。

但是五年前，当她在英国留学（abroad到国外）时，她在收音机里听到一首充满感情的有关回家的歌曲。

这首歌让萨拉想起了她在美国的家人和朋友。

她逐渐意识到，事实上她是多么想念他们所有的人。

从那以后，她成了美国乡村音乐的一名歌迷。

乡村音乐是一种来自美国南部几个州的传统类型的音乐。

田纳西州的纳什维尔是乡村音乐的故乡。

现在许多歌曲只是关于美国现代生活的，比如金钱和成功的重要性，而
不是有关归属感的。

然而，乡村音乐带我们回到“过去的好时光”，那时的人们互相善待、彼此信任。

它提醒我们，生活中最美好的东西都是无偿的——欢笑、朋友、家庭、自然和乡村之美。

萨拉还没有去过纳什维尔，但将来有一天能去那儿是她的梦想。

她已经读了很多关于这个地方的介绍，并做了一些相关的研究。

她知道在纳什维尔有一个乡村音乐名人堂博物馆。

那儿也总有很多大型乡村音乐会，像加思·布鲁克斯那样的著名音乐人和歌手会到场。

萨拉已经听过他的大部分的歌曲。

“加思是美国历史上最成功的音乐人之一。

他的唱片销量已经达到一亿两千多万（million百万）张。

我希望有一天去看他现场演唱！”
