Lesson 139:Don't Be Shy

Our English teacher often says that we should not be afraid to make mistakes. She
also says that people can learn from their mistakes. Therefore, she tells us that we
shouldn't be shy when we speak English. I believe what she says is right, but there is one thing that I don't understand. Every time we speak in class, she tells us to shut up!

不要害羞
我们的英文老师常说我们应该不要怕犯错。她也说人可以从错误中学习。因此，她告诉我们说英文时不要害羞。我相信她所说的是正确的，但有一件事我不明白。每次我们在课堂上讲话，她就叫我们闭嘴!

He tries to accomplish this by being a good student and an obedient son. In this way, he is able to give joy to those who are dearest to him ---- his teachers and his family. It's too bad we don't all have goals like Billy.

Lesson 143:Man's Best Friend

The dog is man's best friend. He can do many things for us. He can protect our
homes. He can guide the blind. He is loyal to his master and never asks for a pay raise.
The dog has also made many contributions to English. For example, if there were no dogs, how could a husband tell his wife her cooking tastes like dog food? How could the weatherman say, "It's raining cats and dogs?" So the next time a dog lifts a leg to your bicycle, don't kick him. Bend down and say, "Take your time."

人类最好的朋友
狗是人类最好的朋友。它可以为我们做许多事情。它可以保护我们的家。它可以引导盲人。它对主人忠实而且从不要求加薪。
狗还对英文有许多的贡献。举例来说，如果没有狗的话，做丈夫的如何告诉他太太她煮的菜吃起来像狗食?气象播报员又如何能用猫和狗来表示雨下得很大呢?因此，下次有狗对你的自行车抬腿撒尿时，可别踢它。要弯下腰对它说：“慢慢来。”

Lesson 141:Global Warming

Have you noticed that it's getting warmer and warmer every year? To put it simply
that's because of air pollution. Scientists tell us that because of air pollution, the earth's heat cannot escape. This is known as global warming. If this situation is allowed to continue, it will just keep getting hotter an hotter. Then, can you imagine what will happen? We should all, therefore, do our part to stop polluting the air and help save the world.

全球气温上升
你有没有注意到天气一年比一年变得还要暖和了呢?简言之，那是因为空气污染的缘故。科学家告诉我们由于空气污染，地球的热气无法散出去。这就是为人所知的全球变暖。如果我们任由这种情形一直持续下去，地球就会变得越来越热。那么，你能想像会发生什么事吗?因此，我们全都应该尽一己之力来防止 污染空气并拯救地球。

Lesson 147:Television Addiction

Television provides us with a wide range of information and entertainment. However, it's a pity that it may also have a bad influence on young minds. For instance, some TV shows have too much violence and crime. These programs may lead youngsters astray. It is easy for students to become addicted to the excitement of these programs and neglect their homework. Parents must, therefore, keep an eye on what their children watch.

电视迷
电视给我们提供广泛的信息和娱乐。不过，遗憾的是，它也会对年轻人的思想有不良的影响。举例来说，有些电视节目有太多的暴力和犯罪。这样的节目可能使年轻人误入歧途。学生很容易沉溺于这些刺激的节目中而忽视了他们的功课。因此，父母们应该留意孩子所看的电视节目。
