4、he learned to love the cat so much he has had cats ever since Cats let us know when it is time to change the sofaEither when the fabric starts to look like Einsteins hair that has been combed with cat paws，thanks to the generous donation of cat hair 安迪的爱好 安迪总是看电视节目上的动物频道。当他还是个孩子的时候，他最喜欢的书就是杰拉尔德达雷尔写的

5、有关动物的书籍。每当他听到一些关于动物的事情，尤其是那些有关爱护动物的故事，他都会记录下来。 他一直爱养宠物，他的第一个动物朋友是猪。后来他尽自己的最大努力去说服他父母为他买一只狗。由于某些原因，无论安迪怎样承诺，他们似乎并不相信安迪会每天出去遛狗三次。 他尽自己的最大努力说服他们：他擅长画画，到处都放着狗的素描。他跑到图书馆去借他能找到的所有关于狗的书籍，也把它们丢得到处都是。他的父母已经习惯他把书丢得到处都是了。 后来安迪的母亲得知一个朋友家的猫生了小猫，他们可以去抱一只回家。起初安迪感到有点失望，但自从有了猫之后，随着时间的推移他学会给猫很多爱护。猫让我们知道什么时候该换沙发了，也就是当

6、沙发织物开始看起来像用猫爪梳理过的爱因斯坦的头发时，这其实多亏有了慷慨捐赠的猫毛。 Larry Schwarzs Hobbies Larry Schwarz has played with toys all his lifeAs a child，he often pulled his toys apart，and then glued them back togetherHe made toy rockets，cars，and buildings out of boxesAlthough he put his toys away long enough to become a lawyer，h

10、汽车和楼房。尽管为了成为一名律师，他不得不长时间把玩具放在一边，但他从未丧失童年时对玩具的那种热情。上学时施瓦茨梦想拥有很多玩具。他上课不做笔记，反而在 26 个笔记本上画满玩具草图。不过，他还是设法取得了法律专业学位。 现在，施瓦茨不在法庭工作，而是滑着滑板在他位于纽约的拉姆普斯公司总部转悠。1997 年，他创办了拉姆普斯玩具公司，发明了各种各样的疯狂玩具，比如有 12 个海绵器官的玩偶格丝古茨、独眼玩偶赛克洛普斯，甚至连包装盒都可以玩。玩具盒上印着的说明书可指导孩子们把盒子变成俱乐部会所、公共汽车或飞机。他喜欢乘坐一辆名为“拉姆普斯公路火箭”的彩色校车四处跑。他参观医院和学校，给大家带去玩

11、具、快乐和忠告。施瓦茨说：“如果你特别相信某件事，而且觉得自己可以做好的话，你真的应该试一试。” Molly Makes a Change about Her Business Molly Boylan is one of the most successful businesswomen in Canada after setting up her cosmetic company Blazes in 1992Though she is very successful，she says that she finds it harder every year in balance her bu

12、siness with her family lifeShe sometimes feels that her two children know more about their baby-sitter than they do about her Molly employs around eighty people in her factory and warehouse，and ten others in her two new fashion stores，but her newest employee is the most important one for herAfter ye

13、ars of worrying about her business more than her family，she has decided to make Sally Pamonte new general manager in her companyMolly will still be involved in decision-making，and shes going to stay in touch with the people who work for her，but Sally is going to look after day-to-day running of the

14、business so that Molly can spend more time with the kids The new arrangement is going to start on Monday，and both of them are already excited about itSally says，Im very nervous，actually，but Im sure Molly will help me a lot in the early days，even though I hope she feels she can trust me not to make t

15、oo many mistakes Molly，on the other hand，seems quite relaxed about the whole thingI know that Sallys going to be a very nice manager she says，Shes only been here a couple of days and shes already shown me how to work out a few problems we were havingThe best thing though is that I feel a hundred tim

17、家庭之间很难取得平衡。有时她感到她自己的两个孩子对保姆的了解比对她了解的还要多。 莫莉为她的工厂和仓库雇用了大约八十人，为两个新时装店雇用了十人，但她最新的员工对她最为重要。她多年为家庭操心，为生意更操心之后，决定任命萨莉帕蒙特为公司的新总经理。莫莉仍参与决策，并与为她工作的人保持联系，但是萨莉要照料公司业务的日常运行，这样莫莉能有更多的时间跟孩子们在一起。 新的工作安排将于星期一开始运作，他们俩都已经很兴奋。萨莉说，“我真的很紧张，但我确信在早期阶段莫莉将会给我很多帮助，尽管我希望她可以相信我不会犯太多错误。”另一方面，莫莉对整个事件似乎很轻松。“我知道萨莉将成为一个非常好的经理，”她说，“

18、她来这里只有几天时间，她已经向我展示了如何解决我们遇到的一些问题。最棒的是，我觉得我比以前幸福了一百倍。我的意思是，我真的不记得上次我感到像这次这样的轻松是什么时候了，我的孩子们对我有更多的时候待在家里真的感到格外兴奋。老实说，我希望我在多年前就应该这做出这样的决定。” Jons Working Situation Dull Axe Jon likes his job and he used to be quite good at itIn fact，ten years ago when he began working at IT，he was considered one of the b

20、ous and asked，When was the last time you sharpened your axe? Jon looked at his friend as though he was crazy and said，What are you talking about? His friend replied，When was the last time you took courses to upgrade your skills? You work in a competitive industryIf you dont update your skills，you wi

21、ll fall behind Jon felt silly and laughed I have spent all of my time trying to cut trees with a dull axeAll I needed to do was sharpen it! 乔恩的工作现状钝了的斧头 乔恩热爱工作，他曾经是这一行的高手。事实上，十年前他开始在 IT 行业工作时，他被认为是公司里的顶尖高手。可是几年过去了，乔恩的工作表现往下滑落。看着朋友突飞猛进，而他自己一点长进也没有，乔恩越来越感到沮丧。 有一天乔恩终于向一位朋友寻求忠告，“我不明白，我在公司里如此努力，却无法升职。” 他

22、的朋友表情严肃，问道，“你上次磨利你的斧头是什么时候的事?” 乔恩看着朋友，好像他的朋友有点疯了并说，“你在说什么?” 朋友回答，“你上次什么时候去上课提高你的技术? 你在极具竞争性的行业里工作，如果不更新你的技术，你就会落后的。” 乔恩觉得自己很蠢，大笑，“原来我一直在拿一把钝了的斧头在砍树，却忘了需要磨利它!” The Meanest Mother I had the meanest mother in the whole worldWhile other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have porridge，eggs or toastWh

23、en others had Cokes and candy for lunch，I had to eat a sandwichBut at least I wasnt alone when I was sadMy sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did My mother preferred to know where we were all the timeShe had to know who our friends were and where we were goingWe had to clean cloth

24、es and take a bath every dayThe other kids got to wear the same clothes for daysWe could not lie in bed sick in order to miss school The worst is yet to comeWe had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morningWe couldnt sleep till noon like our friendsSo while they slept，my mo

25、ther was brave to break the Child Labour LawShe made us workWe had to wash dishes，make beds，and learn to cook and all sorts of things at homeI believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do My mother was a complete failure as a motherTwo of her children received higher educationNone of us

26、 have ever been arrested(taken away by the police) or divorcedShe forced us to grow up into educated and honest adultsI am trying to raise my three children this wayI am filled with pride when my children call me meanWhy? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the worl

27、d 最无情的母亲 我有一个算得上世界上最无情的母亲。当其他小孩早餐可以吃糖的时候，我却只能吃麦片、鸡蛋或烤面包。别的孩子午餐可以喝可乐吃糖，我却只能吃三明治。但至少并不是只有我这样，我的姐姐、两个哥哥与我一样，都有同一个这样无情的母亲。 我母亲一直喜欢了解我们的行踪，我们和哪些朋友在一起，要去哪里。我们每天都得穿干净的衣服，而且每天必须洗澡，而其他孩子一件衣服能穿上好几天。我们不能躺在床上“生病”以逃避上学。 最糟糕的事还在后头呢。每天晚上我们必须在 9 点之前睡觉，第二天早上 8 点必须起床。我们不能像其他朋友那样睡到中午。当他们想睡到中午时，我母亲就会勇敢地违反童工法。我母亲让我们干活：洗

28、碗、整理床铺、做饭以及各种各样的家务事。我认为我母亲躺在床上不睡觉，一直在想着要求我们去做的那些事情。 作为母亲，我的母亲完全是一位不称职的母亲。但她的两个孩子接受了高等教育，我们中没有一个人被警察逮捕或离婚，她迫使我们长成有教养的、诚实的成年人。我想用这种教育方式培养我的三个孩子。我的孩子说我“无情”时我心中充满了自豪。为什么呢? 因为现在我每天都在感谢上帝给了我世界上最无情的母亲。 My Faithful Father My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at homeBut he would come back hel

29、p to harvest rice every year One autumn，he promised to help our neighbor，who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999，to harvest his riceAfter Father harvested our own，his little rice picker brokeWhats worse，he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospitalIt meant tha

30、t Father wouldnt be back in a few daysIt now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor Father told us that he wouldnt let the neighbors rice rot in the fieldHe decided to harvest it by hand without a machineIf tonights weather is clear，I think I can do it added my fatherIn fact，he was rather tired

31、after a days harvest work After dinner，Father had a short rest and made his way to the fieldA full moon was glowing in the sky and the weather was cold but clearHe spent the whole night keeping his word I would never forget the image：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moonBehind him

32、，row after row of rice stocks stood at attention，showing respect for a man who kept his word 信守诺言的爸爸 我的父亲过去在城里工作，很少待在家里，但每年都会回来帮助收割水稻。 一个秋天，他答应帮我们的邻居收割水稻，邻居在 1999 年的一次交通事故中失去了双臂。在爸爸收割完我们自己的水稻之后小割稻机坏了。更糟糕的是，爸爸第二天必须赶回去上班，因为他的搭档生病住院了。这意味着爸爸在几天内不再回来，现在帮邻居收割水稻似乎不可能了。 爸爸告诉我们，他不能让邻居家的水稻烂在地里。他决定没有机器就手工收割水稻，他又加上一句“如果今晚天气晴朗，我想我能做到。”事实上，他在一天的收割工作之后已经是相当累了。 晚饭后，爸爸休息了片刻，然后就去了田地。天空一轮明月，天气寒冷却明亮，他用了一整夜时间帮邻居收割水稻，实现了他的诺言。
