This is my family．This is my father．He is strong．He has short hair．He is a doctor．This is my mother．She is not fat．She is a nurse．She has long hair．This is my grandfather．He is tall．He is a farmer．Where is my grandmother? She is in the kitchen．Look，that is my little brother．This is my big family．

    Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name .My parents gave me both of my other names.

    People don't use their middle names very much. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

    Sometimes people ask me about my name. “When you were born, why did your parents call you Jim?” they ask. "Why did they choose that name?” The answer is they didn't call Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.

    Some monkeys are playing in a tree near a lake. They are having a good time.

Suddenly a little monkey cries, "Look, the moon has dropped into the water!" "Get is out, hurry!" says the old monkey.

    The little monkey hangs from the tree by his tail. Then each monkey hangs from the other by his legs.

    At last they get to the water, but still they cannot scoop up the moon. Another little monkey finds half a gourd (葫芦) to scoop up the moon. Aha! He gets the moon in the gourd.

    At that time all the monkey come for the moon. But the gourd drops and the moon are broken. The monkeys are very sorry. But they look up, they find the moon is still high up in the sky, shining bright.
