1.A Bus Ride 

One day I was on a bus. I found an elderly woman standing in front of me. She 

had a big bag in her hand. "It's a virtue for a young person to help the 

old,"I said to myself. 

When I was standing up to give my seat to the old lady, a young foreigner got 

up quickly saying, "Please sit down."The old lady thanked him and sat down. 

She looked very happy. 

I was a little embarrassed because I was sitting in the middle of the bus. 

Suddenly a pregnant woman got onto the bus. I quickly stood up to give up my 

seat to her. The foreigner smiled at me. He said that he was an Australian, 

and was a student studying Chinese culture in  China .

乘公共汽车

一天，我在一辆公共汽车上。我发现一位年长的妇人站在我的面前，她手里拿了个大包。“帮助老人是年轻人的美德。”我对自己说。

当我正要站起来把自己的座位让给那位老妇人时，一个年轻的外国人很快站了起来，说：“请这里坐。”老妇人谢谢他，然后坐下，她看上去非常高兴。  

我有一点尴尬，因为我坐在车厢的中间。突然一个孕妇上了车。我很快地站起来把座位让给了她。那个外国人笑着看着我，他说他是澳大利亚人，正在中国学习中国文化。

2.The Dog and His Shadow

It happened that a dog had some meat that he wanted to eat at home. On his 

way home he met a river. As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water. 

"Just look!"said he to himself. "That dog down there has some meat, too. If I 

could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!"

With this thought, he made a snap at the other dog's meat. And as he did, his 

own meat fell into the water. So then he had nothing at all. 

Then he saw that the other dog had lost his meat, too. "That is as it should 

be!?thought he. "For I saw him trying to take my meat away from me."

By wanting to have everything, he has lost everything he had! 

shadow  影子  snap at  抓，咬

狗和他的影子

碰巧狗有一些肉，他想回到家后再吃。回家的路上，他遇到了一条河。当他往河里看时，在水里他看到了他的影子。 “看啊！”他对自己说，“下面的那只狗也有一些肉。如果我能从他那里把肉弄过来，那我今晚就可以美餐一顿了！”  带着这个想法，他朝另一只狗的肉扑去。当他这么做时，他自己的肉掉进了水里。所以他就什么都没有了。 然后，他看到另一只狗的肉也没了。“活该！”他想，“因为我看到他想从我这里抢走我的肉。”   什么都想要，却失去了原来所拥有的!
