　　At last one of them said, “What's the use of doing this foolish(愚蠢的) work? We can 2 fill the basket.” 3 man answered, “That is none of your business.” The first man said, “You may do as you like, but I am going to work at 4 so foolish.” He 5 his bucket(桶) and went away. The other man said no word, and kept on carrying 6 . At last the well was almost 7 .

　　As he poured(倒) the last bucket of water into the basket, he saw a bright thing in it. He picked it up. It was a beautiful gold ring(金戒指). Just then the king came. 8 he saw the ring. He knew that he had found the king of man he wanted. He told him to keep the ring for himself. “You 9 so well in this little thing,” he said, “ 10 now I know I can believe you with many things.”

　　The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Life today is easier than it was 1 years ago, but it has brought some new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution(污染). We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

　　Man has polluted the 2 . The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so 3 people. When the land was used up(用光) or the river was not clean in a place, man went to 4 place. Now man is slowly polluting the whole world.

　　 5 pollution is still the most serious, it's bad for 6 things in the world. Many countries don't let people burn(燃燒) 7 for air in houses and factories in the city. Pollution by SO₂ is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It's caused by(由……引起) heavy traffic. People say it's 8 to ride bikes. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But even in developed countries, most people don't go to work by bike. It's not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work. It's because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger. So more people 9 their bikes and go to work by car, then things are getting worse and worse. We should have Special(特別的) roads only for bikes and make it 10 difficult and expensive for drivers to drive their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bikes.

　　The mountain road was narrow(窄的) and the old woman was walking 2 , because she did not want to have 3 and lose her cabbages.

　　Suddenly she 4 a loud bell, and a bicycle came round the corner. It passed her and went very fast 5 the hill. The old woman had to jump to one side of the 6 so quickly that the basket of cabbages nearly fell into the valley(山谷).

　　She looked up and saw that a young boy was on the bicycle. He was 7 on without even looking round to see 8 the old woman was all right.

　　The old woman began to shout, “Come back, young man! You dropped something!”

　　When he heard this, the boy stopped the bicycle so suddenly that he 9 fell off. Then he turned and began to 10 the bicycle back up to the hill. “What is it?” he asked, “what did I drop?” “Little boy,” the o1d woman answered, “you dropped your manners(禮貌).”

Two days 2 the doctor came and looked over the sick man. 3 asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine. But there was no pen 4 paper in the village, because no one could write.

　　Mark's family and friends did not know 8 to do. They could not read the strange words. Then a young man 9 an idea. He took off the door of the house, put it on his carriage(馬車)and drove to the nearest 10 . He bought the medicine there, and Mark was soon well again.

　　When July comes, children know they'll have 1 examinations and the school year will end soon. Boys and girls will have a nearly two moths' holiday, and they'll leave school 2 train or by car to 3 to see their fathers and mothers.

　　The summer holidays are the 4 time of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so one can 5 most of his time playing outside. If one lives in the country, he can 6 into the woods and in the fields. If one lives in a big town, he can usually go to a park to play.

　　The best place for a summer holiday is the 7 . Some children are 8 enough to live near the sea. But for the others who do not, if they have the chance to stay at one of the big seaside towns for a week or two, they will talk about it all the following school year.

　　Now, 9 makes children like the seaside so much? I think it is the sand, the sea and the sun, not anything else. Of course, there are 10 new things to see, nice things to eat, and interesting things to do. But the feeling of sand under their feet, of salt water on their skin, and the feeling of the warm sun on their backs make them happier.

　　My hobby is playing chess－one of the greatest games in the world. My mum taught me 1 to play when I was seven years old. She 2 me every time for the first year. But then, on my 3 birthday, I won for the first time. Now I am always the winner between us.

　　It takes about a day to learn the rules. 4 if you want to be good, you have to practise for years. You don't need much to play chess－just a chess set and someone to play with. Chess sets 5 be very cheap, or quite expensive. Some people collect chess sets as a hobby, but I 6 to play.

　　There is a chess club in our school. We meet every week to play each other. I am the best 7 in the club, and the captain of the school chess team. This year we 8 the All England Schools' Championship(冠軍). I had to go up on stage(臺(tái)子) in front of the whole school to collect the prize.

　　I'm saving up my money to buy a chess 9 . It's very good for practice. That way I'll 10 have someone to play with, and I'm sure I'll make more progress.

　　The food that is served is 3 cut into pieces, so there is no need to use knives and forks but instead special spoons and forks are used. The Thais 4 to eat with their hands and now there are still some people who eat this way. There is a special 5 of doing it. First they wash their 6 hands in a bowl of water－they only eat with their right hands. They are careful not to let the food 7 the palms(手掌心) of their hands. After the meal, the 8 are again carefully washed.

　　The meal usually has several different dishes. They are all hot. They are served in bowls which everyone shares(共享), 9 each person has their own bowl of 10 . As Thailand has a long coastline(海岸線), it is not surprising that fish and shellfish play an important part in Thai cooking.

　　You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. In fact, an English dictionary you 1 today wasn't made until the Qing Dynasty(清朝), Three men did most of the important 2 work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to 3 words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary. The 4 for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor(編者) of its new dictionary.

　　Murray had never been to 5 . At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 6 he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house 7 in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and 8 in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was 9 adding(增加) words for the letter “A”! He worked on the dictionary 10 he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1982,other editors finished the dictionary.
