George was a quiet, serious young man. He had been studying very hard for one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.

  “You've never been to a dance, George.” he said. “It's boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.”

  “Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment of hesitation.

    So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim became worried about him, so he said, “now we'll walk home in the cool air.”

    On their way home, they came to a bridge. George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected on its surface.

  “What are those lights down there?” George asked.

  “They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.

  “The stars?” George said. “Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!”

    Mr. White is a farmer. He lives on a farm.

    In spring, it's warm and rainy. He plants(种植)crops(庄稼). And the crops like the rain.

    In summer, it's hot and sunny. And the crops like the sun. They are tall and green.

    In autumn, it's cool and windy. The crops are yellow. Mr. White harvests the crops. He is busy but happy.

    In winter, it's cold and snowy. He has nothing to do. So he stays at home.

    He is a happy farmer. He likes his job and his lire very much.

    Mr. Ones and Mr. Brown worked in the same office. One day Mr. Jones said to Mr. Brown, “we are going to have a small party at our house next Wednesday evening. Would you and your wife like to join us?”

    Mr. Brown said, “Thank you very much. We are free that evening, I think. But I will telephone my wife and ask her. Maybe she will go somewhere else that evening.” So Mr. Brown went to the other room and telephoned. When he came back, he looked very sorry. “What is the matter?” Asked Mr. Jones. “Did you speak to your wife?”

    “No,” Answered Mr. Brown, “She wasn't there. My little son answered the telephone. I said to him “Is your mother there, David?” And he answered, “No, she's not in the house.”“ Where is she then?” I asked. “She is somewhere outside.” “What is she doing?” “She is looking for me.”

    What's the weather like? Oh, it's a cold day. It is snowy. I like snowy days. We can make snowmen(雪人). I like sunny days, too. I can play outside on a sunny day. But I don't like rainy days.
