Mandy: No, it doesn't sound like you have a fever. What did you do on the weekend?
Lisa: I played computer games all weekend.
Mandy: That's probably why. You need to take breaks away from the computer.
Lisa: Yeah, I think I sat in the same way for too long without moving.
Mandy: I think you should lie down and rest. If your head and neck still hurt tomorrow, then go to a doctor.

3a 昨天上午九点， 26 路公交车正行驶在中华路上，这时司机看到一位老人躺在路边。在他旁边的一位妇女在喊救命。
公交车司机， 24 岁的王平，没有多想就停下了公交车。他下了车并且问那个妇女发生了什么事。 她说那个人有心脏病， 应该去医院。 王先生知道他必须快点行动。 他告诉乘客他必须送老人去医院。 他希望大部分或全部乘客下车去等下一辆班车。但出乎他的意料， 他们都同意和他一起去。 一些乘客帮助王先生把那个老人移到公交车上。
多亏了王先生和乘客们， 医生及时挽救了老人的生命。 “许多人因为不想有麻烦而不想帮助别人，这令人难受， ”一位乘客说。 “但是这位司机没有考虑自己。他只考虑挽救一条生命。”

Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old Man
At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No. 26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman was next to him, shouting for help.
The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most or all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus.
But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man onto the bus.
Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man in time. "It's sad that many people don't want to help others because they don’t want any trouble," says one passenger. "But the driver didn't think about himself. He only thought about saving a life."
2b 他失去了手臂但还在爬山
阿伦·罗尔斯顿是一个对爬山感兴趣的美国人。 作为一名登山者， 阿伦习惯于冒险。 这是关于做危险运动的令人兴奋的事情之一。 有许多次， 阿伦因为 （意外）事故几乎失去生命。在 2003 年 4 月 26 日，在犹他州登山时他发现自己在非常危险的处境。
在那天，当阿伦独自登山时，他的手臂被压在落在他身上的一块 2000 千克的岩石下。因为他的手臂不能自由活动， 他在那儿待了五天， 希望有人会发现他。 但当时他的水喝完了，他知道他将不得不采取措施来挽救自己的生命了。 他不愿那天就死去。 因此他用刀子切除了他的一半右臂。 然后，他用左臂给自己打上绷带以至于他不会失去太多的血。这之后， 他爬下山寻求帮助。
在他失去手臂之后，他写了一本名为《生死抉择》 （又译作《生死两难》 ）的书。他的意思是 “处于一个你似乎无法摆脱的困境之中。 ”在这本书中， 阿伦讲述了关于做出明智抉择和掌握自己生命的重要性。他对登山如此酷爱以至于即使这次经历之后他还继续爬山。
我们有和阿伦一样的勇气吗？在我们发现自己处于进退两难的处境之前以及在我们不得不做出生死抉择之前，让我们来想想它。

He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing
Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah
On that day, Aron's arm was caught under a 2,000-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.
After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one's life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.
Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let's think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.

Students Who Volunteer
Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others.
Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor. He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “ It' s hard work, ” he says , “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals. I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners' faces.”
Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program. She still works there once a week to help kids learn to read. The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that they’re going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time.
2b 亲爱的李小姐，
我想感谢你给 “动物帮手 ”捐款。我确信你知道这个组织建立起来是为了帮助像我这样的残疾人的。有了你的帮助，我才有可能拥有 “幸运儿 ”。“幸运儿 ”对我的生活产生了很大的影响。让我来告诉你我的故事。
又瞎又聋会是怎么样呢？或者想象一下你不能走或自如地用你的手。大多数人从没考虑过这一点，但是许多人有这样的困难。 我不能自如地使用自己的胳膊和腿，因此，一些像接电话、开关门，搬东西这些平常的事对我来说都很困难。后来，去年的一天，我的一位朋友帮我摆脱了困境。她与 “动物帮手 ”组织联系，试图给我找一只经过特殊训练的狗。她也认为一只狗可能会使我振作起来。我喜爱动物，并且我对拥有一只狗的主意感到很兴奋。
在“动物帮手 ”那里，我与一只狗在一起经过六个月的训练之后， 我能够把他带回家了。我的狗的名字叫 “幸运儿 ”——对他来说是一个很好的名字，因为我觉得拥有他真的很幸运。你看，正是因为你的仁慈，我才能有一只 “导盲犬 ”！“幸运儿 ”很聪明并且能听懂许多的英语单词。当我给他下命令时，他能听懂我说的话。例如，我说 “幸‘运儿 ’，把我的书拿来 ”，他会马上做到。
“幸运儿 ”是一只神奇的狗。如果你喜欢，我寄一张照片给你吧，以后我会让你看看他是如何帮助我的。再次感谢你改变了我的生活。 最美好的祝福， 本·史密斯

Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpers. I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can’t walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is Lucky — a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, “Lucky! Get my book,” and he does it at once.
Lucky is a fantastic dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life.
Best wishes,
Ben Smith

Sister： Could you take out the rubbish, fold the clothes and do the dishes?
Brother：So much?
sister： Yes, because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now. And she won’t be happy if she sees this mess.
Brother：But the house is already pretty clean and tidy!
Sister：Yes, well, it’s clean, but it’s not “mother clean”!
3a 上个月， 当我放学回到家时， 我们的狗迎接我。他想要散步，但是我太累了。我扔下我的书包就去起居室了。我刚在电视机前坐下，我妈妈就过来了。 “你把狗带出去溜溜好吗？ ”她问。“我能先看个节目吗？ ”我问。“不行！ ”她生气地答道。 “你总是看电视，在家里从不帮忙！我不能整天工作，整晚还做家务。 ” 噢“，我在学校也整天学习！我和你一样累！”我大喊回应道。
我妈妈没说什么就走了。一个星期，她没做家务活，我也没有做。最后，我找不到一个干净的盘子，也找不到一件干净的衬衫。
接下来的第二天，我妈妈下班回家发现房子既干净又整洁。 “发生了什么事？ ”她惊讶地问。
“对不起，妈妈。我终于懂得，我们需要分担家务活来拥有一个干净而舒适的家， ”我答道。

Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired.
I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.
“Could I watch one show first?” I asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can’t work all day and do housework all evening.”
“Well, I work all day at school, too! I’m just as tired as you are!” I shouted back.
My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy.
“What happened?” she asked in surprise.
“I’m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home,” I replied.

亲爱的先生：
我不理解为什么一些父母亲让他们的孩子在家里帮着做家务活和杂务。如今， 孩子们已经有来自学校的足够的压力了。 他们也没有时间去学习和做家务活。 家务活浪费他们的时间。 我们只让他们做学生分内的事好吗？为了取得好成绩并且进入一所好的大学他们应当把时间花在学业上。而且，当他 们长大了的时候他们也将不得不做家务活因此他们现在没有必要做家务。给孩子们在家里提供一个干净而又舒适的环境是父母亲的责任。
而且我认为做家务不是那么难。我不介意做。
史密斯先生
亲爱的先生 :
我认为孩子们学会怎样做家务和帮助父母亲做家务活是重要的。 只是在学校取得好成绩是不够的。如今孩子们依赖父母亲太多。他们总是问： “你给我买这个好吗？ ”或者 “你能帮助我做那件事吗？ ”做杂务可以帮助培养孩子们的独立和教会他们怎样去照顾自己。 它也帮助他们理解公正性的想法。 自他们与父母亲一起住在一所房子里以来， 他们就应该知道每个人应当做他们的一部分来保持房子干净和整洁。 我们邻居的儿子上了一所好大学，但在第一年，他不知道怎样去照顾自己。结果，他经常生病并且成绩下降。孩子们越早学会独立，对他们的未来就越好。

Dear Sir,
I don’t understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don’t have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there’s no need for them to do it now. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I don’t mind doing them.
Mr. Smith
Dear Sir,
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They’re always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

3a 亲爱的亨特先生： 我的问题是我不能和我的家人和睦相处。我父母之间的关系已经变得不易相处。 他们经常吵架， 我真的不喜欢这样。 而这是他们拥有的唯一的沟通 （方式）。我不知道我是否应该就这件事对他们说点什么。 当他们争吵的时候， 就像一大块乌云悬在我们家的上方。 而且我哥哥对我也不是很好。 他总是拒绝让我看我喜欢的电视节目。 相反晚上无论他想看什么就看到很晚。 我认为这不公平。 在家里我总是觉得孤独和焦虑。 这正常吗？我能做什么？

亲爱的伤心 13：
在你这个年龄是不容易的，有这些感受是正常的。你为什么不和你的家人谈谈这些感受呢？如果你的父母亲正遇到问题， 你应该主动提出帮助。 或许你可以在家里作更多的事情以便他们有更多的时间进行适当的交流。 其次， 你为什么不坐下来和你的哥哥沟通呢？你应该说明你不介意他总是看电视。 但是， 他应当让你看你喜欢的节目。 我希望今后你会自己觉得好些。

或许你应该学会放松
如今，中国孩子有时在周末比工作日还要忙， 因为他们不得不上那么多的课外补习课。 他们中的许多人在学习考试技巧以便他们能进入一所好的高中并且随后上一所好大学。其他人在训练体育以便他们能比赛获胜。然而，这不仅仅发生在中国。
泰勒一家是一个典型的美国家庭。 对于凯茜 ·泰勒的三个孩子来说， 生活是忙碌的。 “在大多数日子的放学后 ”，凯茜说： “我送我的两个男孩子中的一个去进行篮球练习，送我的女儿去进行足球训练。 然后我得送我的另一个儿子去上钢琴课。 或许我可以舍弃（放弃） 他们的几个活动， 但是我相信这些活动对我孩子们的将来是重要的。 我真想要他们成功。 ”然后，疲惫的孩子们直到晚上 7 点才到家。他们匆忙地吃完饭，接着就该做家庭作业了。
琳达·米勒，三个孩子的母亲，清楚所有这样的压力。 “在一些家庭里，在孩子很小的时候竞争就开始了并且持续到孩子长大 ”，她说道。 “母亲们送她们的孩子们去上各种各样的班。并且她们总是把他们和别的孩子对比。这是不理智的。我认为那是不公平的。 为什么他们不让他们的孩子成为孩子呢？人们不应该把孩子逼得那么紧。 ”
医生们说太多的压力对一个孩子的发育不好。 艾丽斯 ?格林医生说所有这些活动会对孩子们造成许多压力。“孩子们也应该有时间去放松和为他们自己去思考。尽管想要成功的孩子是正常的，但是拥有快乐的孩子甚至更为重要。 ”
Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!
These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy.” On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful. ” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.”

这场暴风雨使人们关系更亲近了
在阿拉巴马州，本能听到他家外面的大风。乌云使天空变得很暗。外面没有光亮，感觉像是半夜。电视新闻报道了一场特大暴雨发生在这一地区。
街区里每个人都在忙。本的爸爸正在把几块木板放在窗户上那时他妈妈则确认手电筒和收音机都能正常使用。她也把一些蜡烛和火柴放在桌上。
当雨开始对着窗户猛烈地敲打时本在帮助妈妈做晚饭。 晚饭后，他们设法玩纸牌游戏，但外面正下着严重的暴风雨，想玩得开心是很难的。
起初本睡不着。当大约凌晨 3 点风在逐渐变弱时他终于睡着了。当他醒来时，太阳正在升起。 他和家人一起来到外面并且发现街区凌乱不堪。 吹倒的树、 打破的窗户和垃圾随处可见。 他们加入到街坊邻居中去帮着一起打扫。 虽然这场暴风雨把许多东西拆散开了， 但是它使许多家庭和邻居们关系更亲近了。
The Storm Brought People Closer Together
Ben could hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama. Black clouds were making the sky very dark. With no light outside, it felt like midnight. The news on TV reported that a heavy rainstorm was in the area.
Everyone in the neighborhood was busy. Ben’s dad was putting pieces of wood over the windows while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working. She also put some candles and matches on the table.
Ben was helping his mom make dinner when the rain began to beat heavily against the windows. After dinner, they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm happening outside.
Ben could not sleep at first. He finally fell asleep when the wind was dying down at around 3:00 a.m. When he woke up, the sun was rising. He went outside with his family and found the neighborhood in a mess. Fallen trees, broken windows and rubbish were everywhere. They joined the neighbors to help clean up the neighborhood together. Although the storm broke many things apart, it brought families and neighbors closer together.
