In my class we did all those.Suddenly I heard a terrible cry from one of the girls. My heart missed a beat. I he

2、ard another cry. I am now thinking to myself “what is going on”! Then there it was! It was at least an inch and a half long, just a little cockroach! Now this was the first time I had seen in real life, but from all the pictures and the movies I had seen in the past, I could tell it was a cockroach.

3、My teacher quickly ran to fetch some paper towels. To be honest, I didnt think that window cleaner could help. I was wrong. The little cockroach got a big drop of “The Window Cleaner”, and lying on the floor, did not move.41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(l)如果发现你的教室里有一只蟑螂你会怎么做？你会大叫吗？会大笑吗？或者你只是坐在那里什么也不做(do nothing)吗？在我们教

4、室里，以上种种行为全都有。突然间我听到一个女孩的可怕的叫声。我的心跳(beat)停了一下。我又听到一声喊叫。我心想(think to oneself)“发生什么事了(what is going on)”，接着我看到了！是一只至少(at least) 一英寸(inch)半长的小蟑螂！这是我第一次在真实的生活中看到。以前在图片里和电影(movie)里看到过，因此我知道那是一只蟑螂。我们的老师快速跑去拿来(fetch) 一些纸巾(paper towel)。说实话(to be honest)，我本以为窗户(window)清洁剂不会起什么作用，但我错了。这只小蟑螂被淋了一大滴“窗户清洁剂”，躺在地板上(

5、lie on the floor)，不动(move)了。41. A Cockroach in Our Classroom (2)Well that was just the beginning. Ok, here is the whole story. My teacher walked over to the, now not moving, cockroach. If you have a weak stomach I am warning you now. she stepped on it.I dont know if you have seen the movies where so

6、meone steps on the cockroach and you hear a loud “CRUNCH”(嘎扎嘎扎的压碎), but I can tell you right now that those movies are one-hundred percent true.I was laughing hard that I was crying. I looked around the classroom Some of my friends were laughing too. Of course the girly girls were crying and some of

7、 the other kids thought it was no big deal and just sat there reading their books.My teacher was not very happy to find out that she was the one who had to clean up the dirty place.Most people will not realize that when you step on a cockroach it will make a terrible sound you may not want to hear.

8、So when you ever go to kill a cockroach, watch out for “THE CRUNCH”.41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(2)那只是开始，现在才是完整的故事。我们的老师走向这个，现在已经不动了的，蟑螂。如果你的胃口(stomach)不好，我现在可提醒你她踩了上去。我不知道你是否看过这样的电影，某人踩到蟑螂上，然后你听到响亮的“嘎扎嘎扎”声，但现在我告诉你那些电影是百分之百(one-hundred percent)的真实。我笑的眼泪都要出来了。我环顾教室，我的一些朋友也在笑。当然，一些娇弱的女孩正在大喊大叫，其他一些孩子认为不是什么大事(no big de

9、al)。只管坐在那里看书。我们的老师不太高兴，她发现她是唯一要善后打扫(clean up)这个脏(dirty)地方的人。大部分人没有意识到(realize)当你踩蟑螂时会发出一种可怕的你不想听到的声音(sound)。因此，你要杀死一只蟑螂时，当心(watch out)那“嘎扎嘎扎”的声音。 42.This Is My SupperMiss Green ate a lot for every meal, and she liked eating meat, especially pork and beef.

12、 eating potatoes and dumplings? They are not on the list of your diet.”“But doctor,”Miss Green answered, “I ate my diet at lunch time This is my supper.”Funny enough!

13、llow the doctors advice42这是我的晚餐格林小姐每顿吃很多，她喜欢吃肉，尤其是猪肉(pork)和牛肉(beef)。因此她很胖(fat)，重(weigh)达100公斤(100kilos)，而且一月比一月重(heavy)。一天，她去看医生。医生说：“你必须要节食，格林小姐”，他递给她一本小书，然后说：“这是一本关于如何减轻体重(lose weight)的书。你每天只吃第11页(page)中所列出的食物。两周后再来医院。”格林小姐两周后又来了，但她没有变瘦(thin)，反而更胖了。医生很吃惊，问她：“你是吃那本小书里第11页的食物吗？”“是的，医生。”她答道。第二天，当格林小姐
