Tom's father died of lung cancer. He couldn't stop smoking. He tried quitting several times. However, whenever he
saw someone smoking, he couldn't resist lighting up. In the end, he gave up trying. It was no use stopping one day
and starting again the next. He enjoyed smoking too much. He certainly paid a heavy price, though.

他放棄了嘗試。因為一天停下來, 第二天又開始是沒有用的。他太喜歡抽煙了。不過, 他也的確付出了慘重的代價。

there first. They crossed the Pacific to Mexico in the fifth century. In fact, Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492

Amerigo Vespucci, who landed in America in the late fifteenth century.

Confucius is respected by most Chinese as the greatest teacher of all time. Perhaps the most important word he
taught was "ren, which means "benevolence." According to Confucius, benevolence means courtesy, loyalty and
unselfishness. In fact, benevolence is the essence of his teachings. Every teacher should, therefore, follow in his
footsteps and emphasize benevolence when teaching.

　　孔子被許許多多中國人尊為自古以來最偉大的老師。或許他所傳授的最重要的一個字就是“仁”, 也就是英文的

時, 應效法孔子並強調仁的道理。

Many people put off until tomorrow what they can do today. They always look for excuses to postpone doing
something. In the end, it never gets done. If we leave things undone, we will eventually worry. This will then cause
unnecessary stress. Therefore, if you have this bad habit, it's best to get rid of it and do things as soon as possible.

It cannot be denied that Van Gogh was a great artist. However, he was considered an outcast by other artists of his
time. Many of his most famous paintings were painted at a time when he was isolated by society. Today these
paintings are admired as masterpieces, and are sold for large sums of money. Clearly, it was Van Gogh's destiny to
be a painter.

名的畫都是在他被社會孤立時所畫的。今天這些畫被贊為傑作, 賣價甚高。顯然梵古命中註定要做個畫家。

Our English teacher often says that we should not be afraid to make mistakes. She also says that people can learn
from their mistakes. Therefore, she tells us that we shouldn't be shy when we speak English. I believe what she
says is right, but there is one thing that I don't understand. Every time we speak in class, she tells us to shut up!

　　我們的英文老師常說我們應該不要怕犯錯。她也說人可以從錯誤中學習。因此, 她告訴我們說英文時不要害羞。我
相信她所說的是正確的, 但有一件事我不明白。每次我們在課堂上講話, 她就叫我們閉嘴！

Walter : Hi, Kelly! What's new?
Kelly : My father told us that we'll soon be moving.
Walter : That's awful.
Kelly : Uh...why?
Walter : I won't have anyone to make fun of anymore.

Have you noticed that it's getting warmer and warmer every year? To put it simply, that's because of air pollution.
Scientists tell us that because of air pollution, the earth's heat cannot escape. This is known as global warming. If
this situation is allowed to continue, it will just keep getting hotter and hotter. Then, can you imagine what will
happen? We should all, therefore, do our part to stop polluting the air and help save the world.

　　你有沒有注意到天氣一年比一年變得還要暖和了呢？簡言之, 那是因為空氣污染的緣故。科學家告訴我們由於空氣
污染, 地球的熱氣無法散出去。這就是為人所知的全球變暖。如果我們任由這種情形一直持續下去, 地球就會變得越來
越熱。那麼, 你能想像會發生什麼事嗎？因此, 我們全都應該盡一己之力來防止污染空氣並拯救地球。

The dog is man's best friend. He can do many things for us. He can protect our homes. He can guide the blind. He
is loyal to his master and never asks for a pay raise.
　　The dog has also made many contributions to English. For example, if there were no dogs, how could a
husband tell his wife her cooking tastes like dog food? How could the weatherman say, "It's raining cats and dogs?"
So the next time a dog lifts a leg to your bicycle, don't kick him. Bend down and say, "Take your time."

　　狗是人類最好的朋友。它可以為我們做許多事情。它可以保護我們的家。它可以引導盲人。它對主人忠實而且從不
要求加薪。
　　狗還對英文有許多的貢獻。舉例來說, 如果沒有狗的話, 做丈夫的如何告訴他太太她煮的菜吃起來像狗食？氣象播
報員又如何能用貓和狗來表示雨下得很大呢？因此下次有狗對你的自行車抬腿撒尿時, 可別踢它。要彎下腰對它說：“
慢慢來。”

Some people have goals in life. For these people it is important to achieve their goals. As for my brother Billy, his
goal in life is to make people happy. He tries to accomplish this by being a good student and an obedient son. In
this way, he is able to give joy to those who are dearest to him ── his teachers and his family. It's too bad we
don't all have goals like Billy.

　　有些人的人生有目標。對這些人來說, 達到他們的目標是很重要的。至於我哥哥比利, 他人生的目標是讓別人快樂。

他設法以做一名好學生和乖兒子來完成這個目標。這樣一來, 他就能將快樂給予跟他最親的人 ── 也就是他的老師和
家人。令人遺憾的是, 並不是所有的人都像比利一樣有人生目標。

146
Bill : What's your goal in life, Kathy?
Kathy : My goal is to be rich. What about you?
Bill : I just want to be happy.
Kathy : What?
Bill : I think being happy is more important than having all the money in the world.

比爾：凱茜, 你的人生目標是什麼？
凱茜：我的目標就是要有錢。你的目標呢？
比爾：我只想要快樂。
凱茜：什麼？
比爾：我認為快樂要比擁有世上所有的錢來得重要。

Television provides us with a wide range of information and entertainment. However, it's a pity that it may also
have a bad influence on young minds. For instance, some TV shows have too much violence and crime. These
programs may lead youngsters astray. It is easy for students to become addicted to the excitement of these
programs and neglect their homework. Parents must, therefore, keep an eye on what their children watch.

因此, 父母們應該留意孩子所看的電視節目。
