people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape-recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair
next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Every one goes in the same direction, of course. They should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out.
Then, before the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair! The one who sits on the chair when
the music when the music stops is the winner.
你知道如何玩耍名叫“音乐椅”的游戏吗?这是很容易玩的,大多数人游戏及小部分人播放音乐。如果有人会弹奏,可以使用一架钢琴或任何其他乐器。你也可以使用一个录音机。你
甚至可以使用收音机。
把椅子排成一排。椅子需背对背成双摆放。一个更好的办法是把椅子面对面一把挨一把地
摆放成一行。
这个游戏是容易玩的。当音乐开始,游戏者轮着椅子转圈。每个人按同一个方向走,当然,他们应该跟着音乐走。如果音乐节奏快,他们应该快走。如果音乐节奏慢,他们应该慢慢走。
播放音乐的人不可以看到游戏中的人。当音乐停止时,游戏者设法坐在椅子上。如果有人不能找到椅子坐下,他就出局了。然后,在音乐停止之前,会有更多的游戏者出局。 最后,将有两名游戏者,一把椅子!当音乐停止时,一个坐到椅子上的人就是赢家。

Chinese children are very obedient. In China, children are taught to obey and
respect their parents, teachers and elders. But children is Western counties do not obey
every time.
Most parents and teachers in the West expect some bad behavior in children. They
expect to see it in teenagers as they are becoming adults.
In China students stand respectfully when they answer questions from the
teacher. In the West they don’t stand and often several answer the teacher’s questions at the same time. This sometimes makes the classroom noisy and hard to control. But students in these classrooms can also have good talks about interesting ideas. Not all the
ideas come from the teacher.
Is it good to be an obedient child at all times? Do you sometimes feel that your parents are being unfair when they ask you to do something? Perhaps the answer is somewhere between the two days-the Western way and the Chinese way. If you disagree sometimes, it might be a good way to speak out your ideas politely. That was your parents or teachers can listen and perhaps learn to see your point of view. So you can disagree
sometimes as long as you do so politely and with respect.
中国孩子很听话。在中国,儿童被教导要服从和尊重他们的父母,老师和长辈。但是西方
国家的儿童不都是这样。
在西方大多数家长和老师期望发现孩子们的一些不良行为,他们希望在青少年阶段发现这
些,因为孩子们正在成长为成年人。
在中国,当老师提问时,学生需恭敬地站着回答。在西方,学生不必站着,往往会在同时有几个人回答老师的提问。有时候这样会使课堂嘈杂和难以控制。但是,在这些教室里的学生
可以对感兴趣的想法作活跃的讨论。并非所有的观点都来自于老师。
在任何时候都听话的孩子是一个好孩子吗?当你父母要求你做某事,有时候你会感觉到他们的要求不太公平吗?也许答案是介于上述两种,中国式和西方式。如果有时候你不同意,有礼貌地说出你的想法可能是一个好的方式。这样,你的父母或老师听过后,也许能采纳你的观
点。因此,只要你这样,有礼貌地和尊重地行事,有时候你可以持不同意见。

Jack went to school to study history. But when he finished his first year, he didn’t
pass the exam and the teacher said to him, “You have to leave school.”
When the boy’s father heard the news, he was worried. He came to the school to see the teacher. He found the teacher in the office and asked the teacher to let Jack study
in school the next year.
“He is a good boy. He always does well in history.” said Jack’s father, “He will do
better next year and pass the exam.”
“No, no, that is not right!” answered the teacher, “Last month I asked him, 'When did
Napoleon die?’ and he didn’t know.”
“Please sir, give him another chance,” said Jack’s father, “You know we don’t have any newspapers in our house, so nobody on our family knew that Napoleon was ill.” 杰克去学校学习历史。但是,当他学完了第一年,他没有通过考试,老师对他说:“你必

“不,不,不是这样!”老师回答说:“上个月,我问他,'拿破仑什么时候死的?',而他
不知道。”
“对不起,老师,再给他一次机会吧,”杰克的父亲说,“要知道在我们家里没有任何报
纸,所以我们家没有人知道拿破仑病了。”

A middle school organized a “No TV Week” programme. All the teachers, parents
and students worked together for this programme and most of them found it to be a very good one. The headmaster said, “The idea was not to stop watching TV completely but for the students just to find how much time they watch TV and try to use this time for other
things.”
What did the students say about this “No TV Week”? One boy said, “I can’t believe I haven’t watched TV for a week, but it’s been fun doing it. ”A girl student said, “I’m going to give up all TV programme except for 'Our Animal World’ and other language-teaching
programme. I’m really pleased that I have more time to do things like walking and thinking. I enjoy this 'No TV Week’ very much……”But not all the students thought it was good. Here one student said something different, “I don’t like 'No TV Week’ because I
like watching TV. I have lots of favourite programmes and I don’t want to miss them. But
we have to do it.”
一所中学组织了一次“无电视周”活动。所有的老师,家长和学生一起参与其中,大部分参与者发现这是一个非常好的活动。校长说:“这个想法不是完全禁止学生观看电视,而是为
了调查他们多少时间用于看电视,并尝试使用这些时间做其他事情。”
有关这个“无电视周”学生们说了些什么呢?一个男生说:“真不敢相信我一个星期没有看过电视,但我一直乐在其中。”一个女生说:“除了'我们的动物世界'和其他语言教学节目,我将放弃所有的电视节目。我真的很高兴,我有更多的时间做其它事情,比如散步和思考。我非常喜欢这个'无电视周'... ... ”但是,并非所有的学生都认为这是好的。这里有位学生说了一些不同的看法,“我不喜欢'无电视周',因为我喜欢看电视。我有很多十分喜爱的节目,我不想
错过它们。但是,我们不得不这样做。”

When you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new word.
What’s the best way to know it?
You may look it up in the English-Chinese Dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and also how to use this word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find
it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?
First, all the English words are arranged in the alphabetical order. In the
dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, then B, C, D, E… That means if there are two words “desert” and “pull”, “desert” will be certainly before “pull”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth…For example, “pardon” is before “plough”,
“judge” before “just”, etc.
Do you understand how to look up a word in a dictionary?
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you’ll use it as often as possible in
your English learning.
当你在看英文读物时。你可能会经常碰到生词。认生词的最佳方法是什么呢? 你可以查英汉词典。词典会告诉你这个词的内容:语音,一部分引语,中文意义,以及如何使用这个词。但是你如何在成千上万的英语单词中查找这个词呢?如何快速在词典中找到它
呢?
首先,所有的英文单词按字母顺序排列。在词典中,您可以先看到以字母A开头的单词,然后是B, C, D, E...这意味着,如果有两个单词“desert”和“pull”,“desert”将肯定在“pull”之前,如果有两个单词都以相同的字母开头,你可以看第二个字母。依此类推,看第三个,
看第四个......例如,“pardon”在“plough”之前,“judge”在“just”之前。
你理解怎样查词典了吗?
词典将是你的好朋友,我希望你在英语学习中尽量经常翻翻词典。

A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day. You may not pass an exam if you don’t work hard for most time and then work hard only a few days before the exam.
If you are taking an English exam, do not only learn rules of grammar. Try to read
stories in English and speak English whenever you can.
Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper. Try to
understand the exact meaning of each question before you pick up your pen to write. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answer. Correct the mistakes if
there are any and make sure that you have not missed anything out. 一个通过考试的好方法是每天认真学习。如果你大部分时间不认真学习,只在考试前几天
突击,你不大可能通过考试的。
如果你正面临英语考试,不是仅仅只去复习语法规则。尝试阅读英文故事,只要你能就朗读出来。 在你考试开头时,仔细阅读试卷上的问题。在你动笔答题之前,尝试了解每个问题确切含义。当你考试结束时,复查你的答案,如果有错误就纠正,并确认你没有遗漏答题。

All students need to have good study habits. When you have good study habits, you
learn things quickly. You also remember them easily.
Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place, because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, like bedroom. A quiet place will help you only
to think about one thing.
When you study, do not think about other things at the same time. Only think
about your homework. If you do this, you will do your homework more quickly, and you will
make fewer mistakes.
Good study habits are very important. If you do not have them, try to learn them.
If yours are already good, try to make them better.
所有学生应该养成良好的学习习惯。当你养成了良好的学习习惯,你学习新事物会很快,
还很容易记忆。
你喜欢在客厅里学习吗?这不是一个合适的地方,因为那地方太吵杂了。你需要一个安静
的地方学习,比如卧室。一个安静的地方会帮助你只去想一件事。
当你学习时,在同一时间不要考虑其他的事情。只去关注你的功课。如果你这样做,你做功课会更快,也会少犯错误。良好的学习习惯是非常重要的。如果你没有,尽量培养起来。如
果你已经很好了,尽量做得更好。

There should be no weekend homework for us. Five days given to school are enough for the modern students, who have many other interests. With homework for Sunday, when can we find time to help around the house, join in a football or basketball game or a good film, or just rest? Because of all these other activities, weekend homework in usually not done until Sunday night. It is often done so poorly that on Monday teachers scold the whole class of students who have no idea of what the learned lessons are about. Without homework for the weekends, students could go to school on Monday well rested
and willing to study. Teachers, don’t you agree with us?
对我们而言应该没有周末的家庭作业。现在的学生5天时间在学校已足够,学生们还有很多其他兴趣。如果有星期日功课,我们什么时候可以有时间去帮着做家务,去参加一个足球比赛或一个篮球比赛或去看一场好电影,或者就去休息呢?由于所有这些其他活动,周末功课通常直到周日晚上才完成。这样往往是草草了事的,以至于星期一老师责骂全班学生对所学的东西一点也不懂。如果没有周末功课,学生们星期一上学能精神饱满和更有求知欲。老师,你是
