Shumei has many pen-friends around the world. She likes writing to them and receiving their letters in return. She stated writing to her first pen-friend, Thomas Wright from Britain, when she was ten years old. They have been writing to each other

for two years now.

Shumei enjoys writing to people from other counties because she finds it very

and enjoying their friendship.

She will also try to look for pen-friends from other counties such as Japan, China

and France.

The boss found a boy in the stock room just standing around doing nothing. “How much do you get paid a week” He asked the boy. The boy replied, “Twenty dollars.” Taking a twenty dollar bill out of his wallet, the boss gave it to the boy and said, “Here, take this. Now get out of here and don’t come back.” As the boy walked out

the door, the boss said to the manager, “How long has that lazy kid been working for us” “He doesn’t work for us,” replied the manager. “He just delivered a package.”

“Peter has just come back from the shops,”said Mrs. James. “He wanted to buy some new football boots, but he wasn’t able to find any that were right for him.”

“Were they all the same”I asked.

“He said they showed him different pairs but he didn’t like any of them.”

“What is Peter going to do about his boots, then”I asked.

“Well, the shop told him to come back the next week. It’s out a big problem because he doesn’t need to have them before the new school term. But he always begins to get his things ready early. For example, he has never been late for school.”

“My daughter is different,”I said, “I have to throw her out when it’s time for school.”

“彼得刚刚从商店回来，”詹姆斯太太说。“他想买新的足球鞋，但他没能找到适合他的。”

“球鞋款式都一样吗”我问道。

“他说店员给他看了不同的样式，但他都不喜欢。”

“那么，彼得怎么办呢”我问。

“嗯，店员告诉他下周再来。这不是个大问题，因为在新学年开始之前，他还不需要球鞋。但他总是提前做准备工作。比如，他从不迟到。”

“我的女儿就不同了，”我说，“每到上学时间我都不得不‘扔’她出去。”

The world is filled with many interesting sounds. Some are unpleasant to our ears while others are very pleasant to hear. In a single day you probably hear hundreds of different sounds. All sounds are different. Some may be loud. Some are high; others are low. Some sounds are useful.

Without sound we cannot talk or listen to one another. The ringing of the alarm clock wakes people up. The hooting of a car warns people of danger.

Some sounds are harmful. When planes fly low over the land, the very loud sounds can damage the houses. Very loud sounds can even make people deaf.

We know sound travel about one kilometer in three seconds. In a thunder storm you see the lightning first and then hear the thunder. This is because light travels much faster than sound.

Next time you see lightning; count the number of seconds before you hear the thunder. Divide this number of seconds before you hear thunder. Divide this number by 3. This will tell you how many kilometers away the thunder storm is.

这个世界充满了许多有趣的声音。对于我们的耳朵而言，有些是不舒适的，有些则是悦耳动听的。在一天之内你可能听到数以百计的不同声音。所有的声音是不同的。有些可能是响亮的。有些高的，有些低的。有些声音是有用的。

没有声音，我们彼此不能听说。闹钟铃声唤醒人们。汽车的啼声警示处于危险状况的人们。
