英語初級(jí)口語開心學(xué) Lesson 3 在你的鼓里有很棒的東西
It was Jimmy's birthday, and he was five years old. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family, and one of them was a beautiful big drum.
Jimmy的生日到了，他已經(jīng)五歲了。他從家人那里得到了很多很好的生日禮物，其中一個(gè)是一個(gè)很大很漂亮的鼓。
"Who gave him that thing? "Jimmy's father said when he saw it.
“誰送他那個(gè)鼓的?”Jimmy’的爸爸看到鼓的時(shí)候問。
"His grandfather did,"answered Jimmy's mother.
"Oh," said his father.
“他祖父送的，”Jimmy’的媽媽說。
“哦，”他爸爸說。
Of course, Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day, and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise.
當(dāng)然，Jimmy非常喜歡他的鼓。他用他制造了很大的噪聲，但他媽媽不介意。他爸爸白天在工作，而當(dāng)他晚上回家時(shí)Jimmy已經(jīng)躺在床上睡覺了，所以他不會(huì)聽到噪聲。
But one of the neighbours did not like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him, "Hello, Jimmy. Do you know, there's something very nice inside your drum. Here's a knife. Open the drum and let's find it."
但他們的一位鄰居一點(diǎn)也不喜歡那種噪音，所以幾天后的一個(gè)早上，她帶著一把鋒利的刀去Jimmy家，那時(shí)Jimmy正在打鼓。她跟他說，”Hello，Jimmy。你知道嗎，有件很棒的東西在你的鼓里。給你刀，把這個(gè)鼓打開，讓我們找到他。“

復(fù)述：
Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading and retell the story to your partner.
The police in the big city were looking for a thief. At last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him - from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat - he suddenly attacked the policemen and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away.
Then a week later the telephone rang in the police-station, and somebody said,“You are looking for Bill Cross, aren't you?”
“Yes.”
“Well, he left here for Water bridge an hour ago.”
Water Bridge was a small town about 100 miles from the city. The city police at once sent four different photographs of the thief to the police in Water Bridge.
Less than twelve hours later they got a telephone call from the police in Water Bridge. “We have caught the fours this evening, we think.”
