Crossing the river to school
How do you get to school? Do you walk or ride a bike? Do you go by bus or by train? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for the students in one small village in China, it is difficult. There is a very big river between their school and the village. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats. So these students go on a ropeway to cross the river to school.
One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the river every school day. But he is not afraid because he loves school. “I love to play with my classmates. And I love my teacher. He’s like a father to me.” Many of the students and villagers never leave the village. It is their dream to have a bridge. Can their dream come true?
2b：过河去学校
你是怎样到学校的？你步行还是骑自行车？你乘公共汽车还是乘火车去？对于许多学生来说，到达学校是容易的。但是对于在中国的一个小村庄里的学生来说，是困难的。在他们的学校和村庄之间有一条很大的河。那儿没有桥，对于小船来说，这条河流太湍急不能摆渡。因此这些学生乘索道过河去学校。
一个11岁的男孩，亮亮，每个上学日都过河。但是他不害怕。“我爱和我的同学们玩耍。我爱我的老师。他对我来说，就像父亲一样。”
这些学生和村民中的许多人从没有离开过这个村庄。有一座桥是他们的梦想。他们的梦想能实现吗？
Unit 4 Don’t eat in class
John: Hi, my name’s John. It’s my first day at school. Alice: Hi, John. I’m Alice. This is a great school, but there are a lot of rules.
John: Really? What are some of the rules?
Alice: Well, don’t be late for class. This is very important.
John: OK, so we must be on time. Can we bring music players to school?
Alice: No, we can’t. and we always have to wear the school uniform. John: I see.
Alice: Oh, and we also have to be quite in the library.
John:嗨，我的名字叫John。这是我在学校的第一天。
Alice:嗨，John，我是Alice。这是一所极好的学校，但是有许多规则。
John:真的吗？规则当中的一些是什么？
Alice:嗯，不要上课迟到。这是非常重要的。
John:好吧，所以我们必须准时。我们可以带音乐播放器到学校吗？ Alice:不，我们不可以。并且我们总是不得不穿校服。 John:我明白了。
Alice:奥，并且我们也不得不在图书馆里保持安静。
Dear Dr. Know,
There are too many rules! At 6:00 a.m., my mom says, “Get up now and make your bed!” After breakfast, my mom always says, “Don’t leave the dirty dishes in the kitchen!” After that, I run to school because I can’t be late. At school, we have more rules--- don’t be noisy, don’t eat in class, …
My dad says I can’t play basketball after school because I must do my homework. I can play only on weekends. After dinner, I can’t relax either. I must read a book before I can watch TV. But I have to go to bed before 10:00. Rules, rules, rules! It’s terrible! What can I do, Dr. Know?

亲爱的万事通博士：
有太多的规则！在早晨6:00，我妈妈说：“现在起床并整理你的床铺！”早饭后，我的妈妈总是说：“不要把脏盘子留在厨房里！”洗碗盘子后，我因为不能迟到而跑向学校。在学校，我们有更多的规则——不要吵闹，不要在课堂上吃东西……
我的爸爸说放学后我不能打篮球，因为我必须做家庭作业。我仅仅在周末能玩。晚饭后，我也不能放松。我在看电视之前必须先读书。但是十点前我得上床睡觉。规则，规则，规则！太可怕了！我能做什么，万事通博士？ 莫莉.布朗
Dear Molly,
I know how you feel. People always tells us, “Don’t do this!” or “You can’t do that!” But think about it, Molly. There are a lot of things you can do. You can play basketball on weekends. You can watch TV after you read a book. Parents and schools are sometimes strict but remember, they make rules to help us. We have to follow them. Good luck! Dr. Know
亲爱的Molly：
我知道你感觉怎样。人们总是告诉我们“不要这样做”或者“你不能那样做”，但是考虑一下这样的事，莫莉。你可以做许多事情。你可以在周末打篮球。你可以在读书后看电视。父母和学校有时是严格的，但是记住，他们制定规则是为了帮助我们。我们不得不遵守他们。 好运！ 万事通博士
