　　：Five pound too dear

　　Small boats loaded with wares sped to the great liner as she was entering the harbour. Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were son covered with colourful rugs from Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful handmade silverware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decide not to buy anything until I had disembarked.

　　I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.

　　The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly looked genuine. At the base of the gold cap, the words 'made in the U.S.A' had been nearly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth $50, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for $30. I shook my head and held up five fingers indicating that I was willing to pay $5. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to $10. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily accepted the $5 I have him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain -- until I got back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a single world!

　　當一艘大型班船進港的時候，許多小船載著各種雜貨快速向客輪駛來。大船還未下錨。小船上的人就紛紛爬上客輪。一會兒工夫，甲板上就擺滿了色彩斑斕的波斯地毯。印度絲綢。銅咖啡壺以及手工製作的漂亮的銀器。要想不為這些東西所動心是很困難的。船上許多遊客開始同商販討價還價起來，但我打定主意上岸之前什麼也不買。

　　我剛下船，就被一個人截住，他向我兜售一枚鑽石戒指。我根本不想買，但我不能掩飾這樣一個事實：其鑽石之大給我留下了深刻的印象。有的鑽石像玻璃球那麼大。那人竭力想證明那鑽石是真貨。我們路過一家商店時，他將一顆鑽石使勁地往櫥窗上一按，在玻璃上留下一道深痕。我花了半個多小時才擺脫了他的糾纏。

　　向我兜售的第二個人是賣名貴鋼筆和手錶的。我仔細察看了一枝鋼筆，那看上去確實不假，金筆帽下方整齊地刻有“美國製造”字樣。那人說那支筆值50英鎊，作為特別優惠，他願意讓我出30英鎊成交。我搖搖頭，伸出5根手指表示我只願出5鎊錢。那人激動地打著手勢，彷彿我的出價使他不能容忍。但他終於把價錢降到了10英鎊。我聳聳肩膀掉頭走開了。一會兒，他突然從後追了上來，把筆塞到我手裡。雖然他絕望地舉起雙手，但他毫不遲疑地收下了我付給他的5鎊錢。在回到船上之前，我一直為我的絕妙的討價還價而洋洋得意。然而不管我如何擺弄，那枝漂亮的鋼筆就是吸不進墨水來。直到今天，那枝筆連一個字也沒寫過!

　　：The shy turtle

　　Tilly is a shy trutle. She hao no friends. If anyone came by to talk or play, she would duck in her shell1 and wait until they went away.

　　Then one day, Freddy the frog came swimming by.

　　"Tilly,don't hide in your shell. I just want to play. But Tilly was too shy."

　　"No. No. Just go away."

　　Freddy the frog had many friends.He knew all the fish, he liked the dragonflies2. He joked with the ladybugs, and he hung out with the bees, but his best friend was Betty the Butterfly.

　　"Hi,Betty. How are you?"

　　"Hi, Freddy, I'm fine. How are you?"

　　"I don't think Tilly the turtle likes me. Whenever I ask her to come out and play, she hides in her shell and won't come out until I go away."

　　Betty says," I think Tilly likes you, but she is very shy, and she is very lonely. I think you should keep asking her to come out and play. One day she will come out of her shell."

　　Freddy liked Betty best because Betty was smart, and Freddy kept asking Tilly to come out and play.

　　One day when he was just swimming by, he said to Tilly, "You can't have any friends if you hide in your shell. I think you should come on out and give it a try."

　　Tilly was lonely and she knew that Freddy was right.

　　She had no friends because she always hid in her shell.

　　So, Tilly poked3 her head out and looked all around, and she was amazed4 at how many new friends she found.

　　：聰明的熊貓

　　A little panda picks up a pumpkin1 and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can't take it home.

　　Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward2 her. She watches the bike. "I know! I have a good idea." she jumps and shouts happily, "I can roll a pumpkin. It's like a wheel."

　　So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, "Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?" the little panda answers proudly, "I can't lift it, but I can roll it." Her mother smiled and says, "What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,"

　　一隻小熊貓摘了一隻大南瓜，想把它拿回家。但是這隻南瓜太大了，她沒有辦法把這麼大的南瓜帶回家。

　　突然她看見一隻狗熊騎著一輛自行車朝她這邊來。她看著自行車，跳著說：“有了!我有辦法了。我可以把南瓜滾回家去。南瓜好像車輪。

　　於是她把那瓜滾回家。當她媽媽看到這隻大南瓜的時候，很驚訝：“天啊!這麼食的南瓜!你是怎麼把它帶回家來的?”小熊貓自豪地說;“我拎不動它，可是我能滾動它啊!”她媽媽微笑著說：“真聰明啊!記住：只要你肯動腦筋，沒有難辦的事。
