A 747 was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loud speaker, "Attention, passengers. We have lost one of our engines, but we can certainly reach London with the three we have left. Unfortunately, we will arrive an hour late as a r esult."
Shortly thereafter, the passengers heard the captain's voice again, "Guess what, folks. We just lost our third engine, but please be assured we can fly with only one. We will now arrive in London three hours late."
At this point, one passenger became furious. "For Pete's sake," he shouted, "If we lose another engine, we'll be up here all night!"
YELLOW: Yellow and black is the most unignorable colour combination in nature - tigers, stingingbees - it’s the colour that says: you’d better pay attention to me.
黄色：黄色和黑色是自然界最让人过目难忘的组合——老虎，蜜蜂都是这样一身装扮。这样的颜色是在宣告：你最好注意着点。
BROWN: Rustic, durable, wholesomeand deliciously rich are just some of the traits of the colour that’s often associated with earth and home, substance and stability.
AN ASTRONOMER used to go out at night to observe the stars. One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well. While he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises, and cried loudly for help, a neighbor ran to the well, and learning what had happened said: "Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?'

【分享】小学英语课堂中的快乐教学
1、指导学生依据课文内容表演会话。小学英语教材设计了很多的情景会话，很贴近我们平时的生活。如打招呼“hello，how are you”“I am fine ，thank you and you？”“I am fine too ，thank you”，“Nice to meet you”还有介绍自己的家庭情况“My family lives in x x x .My father is businessman,his name is xxx”……这样的内容极大地调动了学生的积极性。
SOME BOYS, playing near a pond, saw a number of Frogs in the water and began to pelt them with stones. They killed several of them, when one of the Frogs, lifting his head out of the water, cried out: "Pray stop, my boys: what is sport to you, is death to us."
A BOY bathing in a river was in danger of being drowned. He called out to a passing traveler for help, but instead of holding out a helping hand, the man stood by unconcernedly, and scolded the boy for his imprudence. "Oh, sir!" cried the youth, "pray help me now and scold me afterwards."
