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. Buyt he is not afraid. "I love to play with my classmates. And I love my teacher. He is like a father to me."
Many of the students and villagers never leave the village. It is their dream to have bridge. Can their dream come true?
过河上学
你怎么去学校？你走路或骑自行车？你乘公共汽车还是乘火车？对于很多学生来说，很容易去学校。但对于在中国的一个小村庄的学生来说，它是困难的。这是他们的学校和村庄之间的一个很大的河。没有桥对船的来说河流的太快。所以这些学生去索道过河去学校。
一个11岁的男孩，亮亮，每一天去学校都要横跨这一条河。他一点都不害怕。”我爱同学们一起玩。我爱我的老师。他就像我的父亲。”
许多学生和村民从未离开村庄。他们的梦想是有一座桥。他们的梦想会成真？
Unit 4
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 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?
Molly Brown, New York
亲爱的医生知道，
有太多的规则！在6:00，我妈妈说，“起来，整理你的床！”早餐后，我妈妈总是说，“别留脏盘子在厨房里！”之后，我跑去学校，因为我不能迟到。在学校，我们有更多的规则——不要吵，不能在教室里吃东西…
Unit 5
Hello. We are students from Thailand, and we want to save the elephants. The elephant is one of Thailand's symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck.
Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very well. People say that "an elephant never forgets". Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. They can also remember places with food and water. This helps them to live. But elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Toiday there are only about 3000 elephants (over 100,000 before). We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.
你好。我们是来自泰国的学生，我们想拯救大象。大象是泰国的象征。我们的第一个国旗上有一个白色的大象。这是一个好运气的象征。
大象是聪明的动物。他们会踢足球或玩音乐。他们也可以画画也画得很好。人们说“大象永远不会忘记”。大象可以走很长一段时间，不会迷路了。他们还记得，食物和水的地方。这有助于他们的生活。但大象是很危险的。人们砍掉了许多树，大象们失去了它们的家园。人为取得象牙也杀死大象。今天仅有约3000头大象（以前超过100，000）。我们必须要保护树木，不买象牙做的东西。记住三月十三日是泰国大象日。
我爸爸说放学后我不能打篮球，因为我必须做我的作业。我只能在周末打篮球。晚饭后，我要看电视之前，我要读书。但是我必须在10点之前上床睡觉。规则，规则，规则！它是可怕的！我能做的什么，知道医生？

Unit 6
Today's story is bout Zhu Hui, a student from Shenzhen. He's now studying in the United States. He is living with an American family in New York. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. It is 9:00 a.m., and Zhu Hui's family are at home. His mom and aunt are making Zongzi. His dad and uncle are watching the boat races on TV.
Is Zhu Hui also watching the races and eating Zongzi? Well, it is 9:00 p.m. in New York, and it is the night before the festival. But there is not a Dragon Boat Festival in the US, so it is like any other night for Zhu Hui and his host family. The mother is reading a story to her young children. The father is watching a soccer game on TV. And what is Zhu Hui doing? He is talking on the phone to his cousin in Shenzhen. Zhu Hui misses his family and wishes to have his mom's delicious Zongzi. Shu Hui likes New York and his host family a lot, but there is still "no place like home".
今天的故事是关于朱辉，一个来自深圳的学生。他现在是在美国读书。他是居住在纽约一个美国家庭里。今天是端午节。现在是上午9:00，朱慧的家人都在家。他的妈妈和阿姨在包粽子。他的父亲和叔叔都是在电视上看龙舟比赛。
朱慧是不是也看龙舟竞赛和吃粽子？嗯，在纽约现在是下午9:00，它是端午节前一天晚。在美国是不过端午节的，所以朱辉和他的寄宿家庭像任何其他的夜晚一样。母亲对她的孩子读一个故事。父亲正在看电视上的足球比赛。朱辉现在正在做什么？他正在打电话给在深圳的表弟。朱会想念家人，希望吃他妈妈做的美味的粽子。朱辉非常喜欢纽约和他的寄宿家庭，但仍然“没有地方像家一样”。
