(pen)、一把尺子、一块橡皮(eraser)、一盒磁带(tape)、一支粉笔(a piece of chalk)、一份报纸、一本杂志(magazine)、一张地图(map)、一个乒乓球(table tennis ball)以及其他物品。她让班里的每个成员按她的吩咐给她所要的物品。课进行得很顺利(smoothly)，学生们对这个工作看起来很感兴趣也很认真。但是当我的表妹对一名来自意大利的学生说，“给我钥匙”时，那人看起来很吃惊。看到这，我的表妹以为他没听清楚(clearly)，于是又重复了一遍，“给我钥匙。”那位意大利学生看起来有点害羞，然后，他伸出胳膊(arm)搂住老师的脖子(neck)．在她的双颊上亲吻(kiss)了两下。

41. A Cockroach in Our Classroom (1)

What would you do if you found a cockroach in your classroom? Would you cry? Would you laugh? Or would you just sit there and do nothing? In my class we did all those.

Suddenly I heard a terrible cry from one of the girls. My heart missed a beat. I heard another cry. I am now thinking to myself “what is going on”! Then there it was! It was at least an inch and a half long, just a little cockroach! Now this was the first time I had seen in real life, but from all the pictures and the movies I had seen in the past, I could tell it was a cockroach.

My teacher quickly ran to fetch some paper towels. To be honest, I didn?t think that window cleaner could help. I was wrong. The little cockroach got a big drop of “The Window Cleaner”, and lying on the floor, did not move.

41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(l)

如果发现你的教室里有一只蟑螂你会怎么做？你会大叫吗？会大笑吗？或者你只是坐在那里什么也不做(do nothing)吗？在我们教室里，以上种种行为全都有。 突然间我听到一个女孩的可怕的叫声。我的心跳(beat)停了一下。我又听到一声喊叫。我心想(think to oneself)“发生什么事了(what is going on)”，接着我看到了！是一只至少(at

least) 一英寸(inch)半长的小蟑螂！这是我第一次在真实的生活中看到。以前在图片里和电影 (movie)里看到过，因此我知道那是一只蟑螂。

我们的老师快速跑去拿来(fetch) 一些纸巾(paper towel)。说实话(to be honest)，我本以为窗户(window)清洁剂不会起什么作用，但我错了。这只小蟑螂被淋了一大滴“窗户清洁剂”，躺在地板上(lie on the floor)，不动(move)了。

41. A Cockroach in Our Classroom (2)

Well that was just the beginning. Ok, here is the whole story. My teacher walked over to the, now not moving, cockroach. If you have a weak stomach I am warning you now... she stepped on it.

I don't know if you have seen the movies where someone steps on the cockroach and you hear a loud “CRUNCH”(嘎扎嘎扎的压碎), but I can tell you right now that those movies are one-hundred percent true.

I was laughing hard that I was crying. I looked around the classroom Some of my friends were laughing too. Of course the girly girls were crying and some of the other kids thought it was no big deal and just sat there reading their books.

My teacher was not very happy to find out that she was the one who had to clean up the dirty place.

Most people will not realize that when you step on a cockroach it will make a terrible sound you may not want to hear. So when you ever go to kill a cockroach, watch out for “THE CRUNCH”. 41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(2) 那只是开始，现在才是完整的故事。我们的老师走向这个，现在已经不动了的，蟑螂。如果你的胃口(stomach)不好，我现在可提醒你??她踩了上去。

我不知道你是否看过这样的电影，某人踩到蟑螂上，然后你听到响亮的“嘎扎嘎扎”声，但现在我告诉你那些电影是百分之百(one-hundred percent)的真实。

我笑的眼泪都要出来了。我环顾教室，我的一些朋友也在笑。当然，一些娇弱的女孩正在大喊大叫，其他一些孩子认为不是什么大事(no big deal)。只管坐在那里看书。

我们的老师不太高兴，她发现她是唯一要善后打扫(clean up)这个脏(dirty)地方的人。 大部分人没有意识到(realize)当你踩蟑螂时会发出一种可怕的你不想听到的声音(sound)。因此，你要杀死一只蟑螂时，当心(watch out)那“嘎扎嘎扎”的声音。

42.This Is My Supper

Miss Green ate a lot for every meal, and she liked eating meat, especially pork and beef. So she was very fat. She weighed 100 kilos and she got heavier every month. One day she went to see a doctor. The doctor said, “You have to go on a diet(节食), Miss Green “He gave her a small book and said, “This is a book on how to lose your weight. Please eat the things on page 11 every day. Then come back and see me in two weeks.”

Miss Green came again two weeks later, but she wasn't thinner. She was much fatter. The doctor was surprised and said, “Are you eating the things on page 11 0f the small book??? ??Yes, doctor. “She answered. The next day, the doctor visited Miss Green when she was having her meals. “Miss Green,”he said, “Why are you eating potatoes and dumplings? They are not on the list of your diet.”“But doctor,”

Miss Green answered, “I ate my diet at lunch time This is my supper.”

Funny enough! That's why Miss Green is getting fat. But since then, Miss Green has made up her mind to lose weight, and she has made an effort to follow the doctor?s advice 42．这是我的晚餐

格林小姐每顿吃很多，她喜欢吃肉，尤其是猪肉(pork)和牛肉(beef)。因此她很胖(fat)，重(weigh)达100公斤(100kilos)，而且一月比一月重(heavy)。 一天，她去看医生。医生说：“你必须要节食，格林小姐”，他递给她一本小书，然后说：“这是一本关于如何减轻体重(lose weight)的书。你每天只吃第11页(page)中所列出的食物。两周后再来医院。” 格林小姐两周后又来了，但她没有变瘦(thin)，反而更胖了。医生很吃惊，问她：“你是吃那本小书里第11页的食物吗？”“是的，医生。”她答道。第二天，当格林小姐正在吃饭时医生拜访了她。“格林小姐，你为什么吃土豆（potatoes）和水饺(dumplings)呢？那页食物清单(list)里没有这些。”“医生，可我是在午餐时吃规定的食物，”格林小姐回答：“这是我的晚餐(supper)。”

真有趣！那就是格林小姐更胖的原因了。但从那以后，格林小姐就下定决心(make up one's mind)要减肥，还努力(make an effort to do)遵循医生的建议。 43. Two Travelers

Two men were going along a lonely road and talking of what they would do if a bear or wolves attack(进攻)them. “Never fear,”said the larger one, “I can protect myself and you too, so there will be no danger. There is nothing in the forest for any man to fear, except a hungry bear, and I'd like to meet the bear that could be a match for me.”

Just at that time, a huge bear appeared in the road and moved towards the two men. The two men ran for a tree. The one who had spoken so bravely reached it first and climbed to safety. The smaller man. being left to face the bear alone, threw himself on the ground and lay as if dead. When the bear came up, he smelt the man on the ground and went away. Then the larger man came down from the tree and said, “What did the bear say in your ear? You seemed like old friends.”

“Oh,”the other answered, “he told me never to trust a boaster(自夸者)” 43．两位旅行者

两个人沿着一条荒凉的(lonely)公路(road)前行，他们谈到如果遭遇一只熊(bear)或狼群(wolves)进攻该如何应付。 “不要害怕(fear)，”个头较大的那人说，“我可以保护咱们俩，不会有危险(danger)。在那片森林里没有什么好怕的，除了(except) 一头饥饿的熊之外。我倒是想碰到一只能成为我对手(match)的熊”。 正在那时，一只巨大的熊出现在公路上，朝这两个人赶来。 这两个人向一棵树跑去。之前讲话很勇敢(bravely)的那个人先跑到树下，然后爬到一个安全(safety)位置。个头较小的人现在要独自面对那只熊，于是他就躺在地上，仿佛(as if)死了(dead) 一样。当那只熊走近时，它闻了闻地上的那人，然后离开了．接着个头较大的人从树上下来，问，“那只熊在你耳朵(ear)边说什么呢？你们看起来像是老朋友一样。”“哦，”另一位回答道，“它告诉我决不要信任(trust)吹牛者”。

46.The Blue Pig with a Black Tail Once upon a time(从前) a certain king sent a message to another king, saying, “Send me a blue pig with a black tail, or else——” The other replied, “I haven't one; if I had——”

Both kings were so angry that they went to war with each other. They collected all their soldiers and fought with each other. Brave men were killed, and women and children died because they could get nothing to eat.
