    Text B How Did You lose Your Way？

    嗨嗨，神馬時(shí)候走累了想坐車(chē)又沒(méi)money ，干脆就call警察叔叔幫幫忙唄，
瞧人家老爺爺多威風(fēng)啊，坐著警車(chē)回家。

    Mrs Brown's old grandfather lived with her and her husband. Every
morning he went for a walk in the park and came home at half past twelve
for his lunch. Mrs Brown的年老的爺爺和她及她丈夫住在一起。每天早上他都
會(huì)去公園散步然后在12點(diǎn)半回家吃午飯。

    But one morning a police car stopped outside Mrs Brown's house at
twelve o'clock， and two policemen helped Mr Brown to get out. One of
them said to Mrs Brown， The poor old gentleman lost his way in the park
and telephoned to us for help ， so we sent a car to bring him home. Mrs
Brown was very surprised， but she thanked the policemen and they left.
但有一天早上12點(diǎn)時(shí)一輛警車(chē)停在了Mrs Brown 家門(mén)外，兩個(gè)警察把Mr Brown扶
出警車(chē)。其中一位跟Mrs Brown 說(shuō)：“這位可憐的老人在公園迷路了，打電話向
我們求救，所以我們用車(chē)把他帶回家來(lái)。Mrs Brown 很吃驚，但她還是感謝兩位
警車(chē)，然后他們離開(kāi)了。

    “But ， Grandfather，” she then said，“you have been to that park
nearly every day for twenty years. How did you lose your way there？”

    “但是，爺爺，”她說(shuō)，“你幾乎每天都去那個(gè)公園已經(jīng)二十年了，你怎么
會(huì)在那里迷路呢？”

    The old man smiled， closed one eye and said，“I didn't quite lose
my way. I just got tired and I didn't want to walk home ！”

    這位老人笑了，閉起一只眼睛說(shuō)，“我并沒(méi)有迷路，我只是累了不想走回家
而已！”

    Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading
and retell the story to your partner.

    釣魚(yú)好玩呀，偶曾經(jīng)連續(xù)掉起好多魚(yú)，可就是沒(méi)條夠大夠養(yǎng)眼夠炫耀的噻，
可俺們的主人公卻把釣上來(lái)的大魚(yú)統(tǒng)統(tǒng)扔了，這是為啥子類(lèi)？

    One morning a man was crossing a narrow bridge when he saw a fisherman
on the shady bank of the deep ， smooth river under him ， so he stopped
to watch him quietly. After a few minutes ， the fisherman pulled his
line in. There was a big， fat fish at the end of it. The fisherman took
it off the hook and threw it back into the water. Then he put his hook
and line in again. After a few more minutes he caught another big fish.
Again he threw it back into the river. Then ， the third time ， he caught
a small fish. He put it into his basket and started to get ready to go.
The man on the bridge was very surprised， so he spoke to the fisherman.
He said ，“Why did you throw those beautiful ， big fish back into the
water and keep only that small one？”

    The fisherman looked up and answered，“Small frying-pan. ”

    怎么樣，下次釣魚(yú)前先去買(mǎi)個(gè)大鍋才行是吧？

    常用口語(yǔ)：

    TextA 有點(diǎn)長(zhǎng)不過(guò)很簡(jiǎn)單，童鞋們要掌握的主要是"What's the matter with
you ？" ，這句話很常用哦，比如你見(jiàn)到朋友精神不振的時(shí)候就可以關(guān)懷地問(wèn)一
句。

    TextB 需要掌握"lose his way"即迷路了，當(dāng)你在陌生的地方迷路時(shí)，可以
及時(shí)向警察或路人求助告之"I lost my way."相信好心人會(huì)幫你找到回家的路滴。
