    There are so many English expressions (表达) about weather. They mean 1different.

    Raining a lot isn't a good thing, but there is good news about rain: "Save for a rainy day" 2 people are working hard for a future plan. And "as right as rain" tells us that someone is as 3 as usual. So when your friend says, "I was ill, but now I feel as right as rain", you know he is OK.

    However, the expressions about 4 don't sound so good. If a person only wants to do something great but 5 starts with small things, we may say "he has his head in the cloud". And if someone passed (通过) a difficult test (测试) and felt very 6 we may say he is "on cloud nine".

    On hot days, wind makes you feel 7 and comfortable. The expressions with wind mean a lot more. "Sail (航行) close to the wind" tells us it is dangerous to 8 a dishonest (不诚实的) man. While the expression "know which way the wind blows (~)" suggests that a man won't tell his idea about something 9 he knows it very well.

    Snow has many meanings. When there is too much work for you to 10 on time, you may say “I've been snowed down by my work". And "as white as snow" Means being honest.

Tui: Hi, Andrew. Isn't the snow great?

Andrew: Yes. New snow makes everything white and very beautiful.

Jane: Snow is nice at the start, but when it melts (融化), it becomes dirty water.

Tui: Maybe, but this is my first time to see snow. It's great.

Jane: Don't you have snow in Thailand?

Tui: No, never. It's too hot there.

Kate: Wow, it's special. It often snows here in America.

Andrew: So this must be fun for you.

Tui: Yes, very fun. I began to watch the snow fall when it started yesterday afternoon. I even went outside to play for about half an hour.

Jane: This morning the snow stopped. Now the sky (天空) is clear and the sun is shining (照耀) on the new snow. That is good to see too.

Tui: How long will the snow last before it melts?

Andrew: If the weather stays cold, the snow can be here for some days or a week.

Tui: Great. I want to play in it as much as possible. Do you want to go outside with me?

Jane: Sure, I can do that.

Andrew: Yes, that' 11 be something good to do.

    ”I am so happy!" said Gorilla. "The Great King Ape is coming for dinner!"

    Chimp was happy too, and he jumped up and down.

    "I will cook a great meal for the Great King Ape!" said Gorilla.

    "I will cook too!" said Chimp.

    But Gorilla did not want Chimp t~ cook. He was sloppy. He often made a mess (搞的一团糟). He would ruin (破坏) her great meal. So she asked chimp to buy some drinks.

    When, Chimp came home, he asked, May I cook now?

    "We still need bananas," said Gorilla. "Please pick the best bananas you can find. I want to cook sliced (切片的) bananas for dessert (甜点)."

    Soon Chimp brought back a bag of bananas and put the bag on the kitchen chair. Gorilla walked into the kitchen. She did not see the bag and sat down on the chair. "Oh, no! My bananas! They are ruined!" Gorilla started to cry.

    "Don' t cry, Gorilla," said Chimp. "I have an idea for a nice dessert."

    Chimp took out a big bowl and a spoon (勺子). He peeled (剥皮) some bananas, put them in the big bowl and mashed (捣碎) them with the spoon. Then he put some milk in. At last, Chimp put it into a small bowl.

    Soon the Great King Ape arrived. He ate up all the food. "This is the best meal I have had!" he said.

    Chimp brought out the dessert. The Great King Ape tried it. "Delicious!" he said. "You are both great!"

    "Thank you," said Gorilla. She smiled at Chimp. "Chimp is a wonderful cook," she thought.

    In the United States, teenagers (青少年) can only get a full-time(全职的)job if they are 16 years old or older. But there are things that the younger teeagers make some money. Here are a few examples.

    Parents will young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children at home alone. So they ask a teenager to stay in the house and look after their children when they are out. If the children go to bed early, the teenager can do some of his or her homework!

    Some people have a dog, but they don't have time to take it for a walk. Dogs need a lot of exercise! So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It's a good idea -- they can make money and stay outside in the fresh air. They get some exercise too!

    Teenagers can deliver (递送) newspapers. They usually ride a bike and leave newspapers at each house. They need to have their own (自己的) bike. They have to get up early too, because people want to read their newspapers at breakfast.

    Teenagers can also work at home on their computers. Some companies pay teenagers to take online surveys (调查). They want to know what teenagers are interested in. It's a fun and easy way to make money.

    These are all popular jobs.青少年可以选择™中的一个来赚些钱 Before they do their jobs, they usually tell someone about what they' re doing Being safe is the most important thing after all.
