Although he could tell it was daylight, he kept his eyes shut tight(紧的). “It was a dream," he told himself firmly. “I dreamed a giant called Hagrid came to tell me I was going to a school for wizards(巫师). When I open my eyes , I'll be at home in my cupboard.” There was suddenly a loud tapping noise. "And there's Aunt Petunia knocking on the door. " Harry thought , his heart sinking(下沉). But he still didn’t open his eyes. It had been such a good dream. Tap. Tap. Tap.“ All right,” Harry mumbled (嘟哝),“ I'm getting up.” He sat up and Hagrid's heavy coat fell off him.The hut was full of sunlight, the storm was over. Hagrid himself was asleep on the Collapsed (折叠的)sofa and there was an owl rapping its claw on the window, a newspaper held in its beak. Harry scrambled to his feet , so happy he felt as though a large balloon was swelling inside him. 哈利第二天早上早早醒来。尽管他能感觉到是白天，但他还是紧紧地闭着眼睛。 “那是个梦，”他坚定地告诉自己。“我梦见一个叫海格的巨人来告诉我，我要去一个巫师学校。当我睁开眼睛时，我会在家里的壁橱里。” 突然，传来了一阵响亮的敲击声。 “那是佩妮姨妈在敲门。”哈利想，他的心沉了下去。但他还是没有睁开眼睛。那是一个多么美好的梦啊。 敲，敲，敲。“好吧，”哈利嘟哝着，“我起床了。” 他坐起来，海格的厚外套从他身上滑落。小屋充满了阳光，暴风雨已经过去。海格自己正睡在折叠沙发上，有一只猫头鹰在用爪子敲打窗户，嘴里叼着一份报纸。 哈利急忙站起来，他感到非常高兴，就好像他体内有一个大气球在膨胀。 How much do you know about the ancient school entrance ceremony? 古代入学典礼知多少? In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony(入学典礼)was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4 ~7 in ancient China.Teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons.Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next,parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.Parents would prepare many gifts for teacher, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children's teacher. On the day their children entered school.parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony.Before that, children would kowtow(扣头)to the statue of Confucius(孔子像)9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead(前额)as it meant opening the wisdom eye.Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term.After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day,students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher,and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination(科举考试). Today,some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment on, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 在古代，入学典礼是最重要的仪式之一。孩子们在4到7岁之间开始上学，老师通常是知识渊博的本地人。由于当时没有固定的开学时间，父母最重要的事情是为孩子们选择一个吉利的日子入学。接下来，父母会为孩子们准备一些学习用品，包括桌椅和文房四宝。父母会为老师准备许多礼物，然后写一封邀请函，邀请一位知识渊博的人成为他们孩子的老师。 在孩子们入学的那一天，父母会带他们参加开笔礼。在此之前，孩子们会向孔子像磕头9次，然后向老师磕头3次，以表达他们深深的敬意。在仪式上，老师会在学生的额头上点一个红点，这意味着开启智慧之眼。孩子们还会敲响某种铃铛，以开始新学期。之后，他们终于可以坐下并开始学习。开笔礼对每个学生来说都是非常重要的仪式。每天，学生们会比老师早到学校，向孔子像磕头，然后回到座位上。通常，老师会给每个学生一个新名字，这个名字将用于未来的科举考试。 如今，一些学校开始举行像古代那样的入学典礼。学生们穿上传统服装，向孔子像和老师鞠躬。这意味着从这一刻起，他们踏上了终身学习的旅程。 “Floating school”水上学校 My name is Sadia Khatun. I’m from Bangladesh (孟加拉). It’s difficult to walk on some roads in the rainy season here. So how do I go to school? It’s easy! The school comes to me! I study on a “floating school”. My floating school is a “school bus” and classroom all in one. The boat picks me up early in the morning. Our classroom is on the boat too. There are many boats on the river at the same time. Each boat has one teacher and one class. The teacher teaches us all the subjects. The boat is long and wide. We sit at wooden (木质的) desks. Big windows bring in lots of sunlight and fresh air. There’s a blackboard at the front. There’s a computer next to it, and it gets its power from the sun. At the end of the school day, the boat takes me home. I learn a lot at my school and have fun too. I love my floating school! 我的名字叫萨迪亚·卡顿。我来自孟加拉国。在这里的雨季，有些路很难走。那我该怎么去学校呢？很简单！学校来我这里！我在一所“水上学校”学习。 我的浮动学校是一个集校车和教室于一体的船。早上，船会来接我。我们的教室也在船上。河上同时有很多船。每条船上有一位老师和一个班级。老师教我们所有科目。 这艘船又长又宽。我们坐在木制的桌子旁。大窗户带来了充足的阳光和新鲜空气。船头有一个黑板。旁边有一台电脑，它的电力来自太阳。放学后，船会送我回家。 我在学校学到了很多，也很开心。我爱我的水上学校！ 中国成语小故事01：The Early Bird Catches the Worm 笨鸟先飞​ It was a beautiful spring day in a forest in ancient China. The air was crisp and fresh, and the sun was shining brightly. In the dense forest, tall trees stood side by side. The sun’s rays hit the treetops and scattered through their branches. They cast shadows of light and dark on the forest floor. 那是古代森林里一个美丽的春天。空气清新，阳光明媚。在茂密的森林里，高大的树木并肩而立。阳光照射在树梢上，透过树枝散落下来，在森林地面上投下明暗交错的光影。 High up in a tree, a mother bird was resting in her nest. She had just hatched six baby birds, called nestlings. The nestlings were covered with soft fluffy down. 在一棵高高的树上，一只母鸟正在她的巢中休息。她刚刚孵化了六只小鸟，这些小鸟被称为雏鸟。雏鸟们身上覆盖着柔软的绒毛。 Five of the baby birds were strong. They chirped loudly. The one that had hatched last, though, was not strong at all. Mama Bird called him Xiao Liu, or Little Six. He was frail and quiet. Xiao Liu’s older brothers and sisters teased him often. 五只小鸟都很强壮，它们大声地啁啾。然而，最后孵化的那一个，一点也不强壮。鸟妈妈叫他小六，或小六子。他瘦弱且安静。小六的哥哥姐姐经常嘲笑他。 “Chirp, chirp, look at Xiao Liu,” said Oldest Brother. “He’s so weak, he can barely move.” “Chirp, chirp,” said Fourth Sister. “I know. He wouldn’t budge. I had to climb over him to get to Mama.” “Chirp, chirp, I couldn’t sleep,” said Second Sister.“Xiao Liu was trying to move around. He’s so slow and clumsy! He kept stepping on me.” "啁啾，啁啾，看看小六，"大哥说。"他太弱了，几乎动不了。" "啁啾，啁啾，"四姐说。"我知道。他一动不动。我不得不爬过他才能到妈妈那里。" "啁啾，啁啾，我睡不着，"二姐说。 "小六试图动一动。他太慢了，太笨拙了！他一直踩在我身上。" The older siblings pushed Xiao Liu around. They took his food.Sometimes they even snatched it right out of his mouth!Xiao Liu’s brothers and sisters would call him names too. They gave him the nickname Clumsy Bird. “Chirp, chirp. Move out of the way, Clumsy Bird,” they chirped together. 哥哥姐姐们推搡小六。他们抢走了他的食物。有时他们甚至直接从他嘴里抢！ 小六的兄弟姐妹也会给他起绰号。他们叫他笨鸟。 "啁啾，啁啾。让开，笨鸟，"他们一起叽叽喳喳地说。 Xiao Liu did not like being laughed at or pushed around by his brothers and sisters.Xiao Liu was not physically strong when he hatched. But he did have a strong will. He decided he would get stronger. He would do exercises every day. Soon, his brothers and sisters would not laugh at him anymore! 小六不喜欢被兄弟姐妹嘲笑或推搡。小六孵化时身体并不强壮。但他有坚强的意志。他决定要变得更强壮。他每天都会做运动。很快，他的兄弟姐妹就不会再嘲笑他了！ Every morning, Xiao Liu would rise before the sun even came up. Before his brothers and sisters woke, Xiao Liu would be finished with all his exercises and breakfast.Xiao Liu worked hard morning after morning.He flapped his wings over and over again to make them stronger. He always got the first worms and bugs Mama brought back to the nest. All through the spring Xiao Liu woke up earlier than his brothers and sisters. 每天早上，小六都会在太阳升起之前起床。在他的兄弟姐妹醒来之前，小六已经做完了所有的练习和早餐。小六日复一日地努力工作。他一次又一次地拍打翅膀，使它们更强壮。他总是得到妈妈带回来的第一批虫子。整个春天，小六都比他的兄弟姐妹们醒得早。 After a couple of months, all the birds had grown flight feathers. Mama Bird gathered her babies to teach them to fly. To everyone’s surprise,Xiao Liu was the first one to start flying! 几个月后，所有的鸟都长出了飞行羽毛。鸟妈妈把她的孩子们召集起来教他们飞。令所有人惊讶的是，小六是第一个开始飞行的人！ 单词：Ancient [ˈeɪnʃənt] 古代的， Crisp [krɪsp] - 脆的，清新的 Nestlings [ˈnɛslɪŋz] - 雏鸟 Chirped [tʃɜːrpt] 啁啾（鸟叫） Teased [tiːzd] 取笑 Clumsy [ˈklʌmzi] 笨拙的。 短语： Crisp and fresh - 空气清新 Fluffy down - 绒毛 This story tells us that even though some people may not be good at something at first, with diligence and constant effort, they can also achieve success. 中国成语小故事02：The Frog in the Well井底之蛙 Once there was a frog who lived in a deep well. It had never seen the outside world and believed that the well was all there was. Every day, the frog would jump up and down, looking at the small piece of sky above the well. 从前，有一只青蛙住在一个深井里。它从未见过外面的世界，并认为井就是整个世界。每天，青蛙都会跳上跳下，看着井口上方的一小片天空。 One day, a turtle passed by and stopped to rest at the edge of the well, The frog heard the sound and asked, "Who are you? Where do you come from?" The turtle replied, "I am a turtle and I have traveled far and wide.I have seen vast fields, tall mountains, and an endless sky." 有一天，一只乌龟路过，在井边停下来休息。青蛙听到了声音，问:"你是谁?你从哪里来?"鸟龟回答:"我是鸟龟，我四处游历过。我看过广阔的田野、高大的山脉和无尽的天空。" The frog couldn't imagine such a world and said, "you must be lying. How can there be a sky that is not just the small circle above my well?" The turtle smiled and said, "Believe it or not, but the world is much bigger than you can imagine, There is so much to see and experience." 青蛙无法想象那样的世界，说:"你一定是在撒谎。怎么可能有天空不是像我井口上方那样的小圆圈?"乌龟微笑着说:"信不信由你，但世界比你想象的要大得多。有很多东西值得去看和体验” 单词：Turtle  [ˈtɜ:rtl] 海龟 Experience [ɪkˈspɪəriəns] 经历，体验。 短语： Passed by  路过 Believe it or not 信不信由你。 This story teaches us not to be like the frog in the well. We should always be curious and open to new experiences. The world is vast and full of wonders that we can only discover if we are willing to explore beyond our comfort zones. 练一练:小试牛刀 Dear Tom, How are you? I’m in a new school in Handan this year.
