A PIGEON(鸽子)：

A pigeon, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly.

Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Moral：Zeal should not outrun discretion.

翻译：一只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一只水杯。她并不以为那只是一幅画，而是发出一声响亮的呼噜声，朝画飞去，无意中撞在了招牌上，把自己撞得很不稳。她的翅膀被风吹断了，摔在地上，被一个旁观者抓住。

孤立的单词不容易记，而语句、文章是有情节的，词放在句子里，联系上下更便于识记。学生经常练习口语，接触到的生词、句式日益增多。这对学生灵活运用常用词以及短语十分有益。

学英语只有开始时就注意语音、语调，大胆效仿，及时纠正口型和舌位，才能讲出标准的英语 ， 对于学员的英语口语表达能力的培养，口语训练就更为重要了。其作用有二：其一，如前所述，口语训练有助于学生冲破心理障碍。

学习语言就必须培养语感，语感对学好一门语言起了很重要的作用。语感它强调通过对语言文字的直觉感受，最终达到语言文字快速领悟的境界，是构成一个人英语素质的核心因素。

而语感是由后天的培养而产生起来的，在言语实践中，听觉、视觉等各种感官通过与语言材料的接触中，不断积累语言知识，体会出其语音、语义、语调及语气，日积月累，便逐渐培养了对语言的感知。

教师范读或播放课文录音，能使学生保持高度的注意力，唤起他们的感知和想象。这些具体的形象既能帮助学生增强对词汇和语言结构的记忆，又能增强学生的语感。

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today. In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

目前环保还存在着许多问题。最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病，造成死亡。更有甚者，随着现代社会的迅速扩建，植被大大的减少。 为了保护环境，各国政府做了大量的工作。采用了立法措施控制大气污染，保护森林资源和海洋资源，制止任何环境污染。因此，在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用。 我的看法是，为了保护环境，政府应当采取更具体的措施。首先，应当通过教育的方法使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性。第二，应更加努力把计划生育政策付诸实施，因为人口多就意味着污染严重。最后，要严惩那些故意破坏环境者。使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。
