话题经典小故事 01——燕子归巢
Swallows return to their nests
On the edge of the ancient village, there is a towering tree with a swallow nest, which is the home carefully built by a swallow couple. Every spring, they fly back from the distant south, carrying deep thoughts of home.
This year, the swallow couple brought several young swallows who had just learned to fly back home. They fly around the big tree happily, celebrating the joy of returning to the nest. However, when they were about to enter the nest, they found that the entrance was blocked by a large stone.
It turned out that the children in the village thought the swallow nest was very interesting, so they blocked the entrance with stones to see how the swallows would react. The swallow couple looked at the blocked nest opening, filled with anxiety and helplessness. They know that if they cannot remove this stone in time, the swallow will not be able to safely enter the nest to rest.
At that moment, an old swallow flew over. It is the elders of the swallow couple, who once lived on this land. The old swallow saw this scene and immediately understood what had happened. It flew to the stone and gently pecked at it with its beak, trying to move it away.
The swallow couple and the little swallows also joined in the action of cleaning the stones. They worked together, using their beaks and wings to move the large stone away. The nest mouth opened again, and the swallows cheered and flew into the nest.
From then on, the swallow couple cherished their home even more. They not only strengthened the protection of their nest, but also often taught the young swallows to take care of their home. The children in the village were also moved by the unity and tenacity of the swallows, and they no longer disturbed their lives, but began to protect them instead.
燕子归巢
在古老的村庄边缘,有一棵参天大树,树上有一个燕子窝,那是燕子夫妇精心搭建的家园。每年春天,它们都会从遥远的南方飞回来,带着对家的深深思念。
这一年,燕子夫妇带着几只刚学会飞行的小燕子回到了家。它们围绕着大树欢快地飞舞,庆祝着归巢的喜悦。然而,当它们准备进入窝中时,却发现窝口被一块大石头堵住了。
原来,村子里的小孩们觉得燕子窝很有趣,便用石头堵住了窝口,想看看燕子们会如何应对。燕子夫妇看着被堵住的窝口,心中充满了焦急和无奈。它们知道,如果不能及时清理掉这块石头,小燕子们将无法安全地进入窝中休息。
就在这时,一只老燕子飞了过来。它是燕子夫妇的长辈,曾经也在这片土地上生活过。老燕子看到这一幕,立刻明白了发生了什么。它飞到石头旁,用嘴轻轻地啄着石头,试图将它移开。
燕子夫妇和小燕子们也纷纷加入到了清理石头的行动中。它们齐心协力,用嘴啄、用翅膀扇,终于将那块大石头移开了。窝口重新敞开,燕子们欢呼着飞进了窝中。
从此以后,燕子夫妇更加珍惜自己的家园,它们不仅加强了窝的防护,还时常教导小燕子们要爱护自己的家。而村子里的小孩们也被燕子们的团结和坚韧所感动,他们不再打扰燕子们的生活,反而开始保护它们。

The ant listened and suddenly understood, saying, "So that's how it is! Can you hold family gatherings anytime and anywhere then?"
The snail smiled and said, "Yes, sometimes I even invite some friends over to my 'snail' home for a visit. Although they have to slowly climb up, we always have a great time together!"
The ant listened and said with admiration, "You're such a clever snail. Having a mobile home is really great!"
The snail proudly smiled and continued slowly walking through the forest, carrying its 'snail' home on its back..

时文阅读 01——“家”的谚语
There are many English proverbs (谚语) about “home”. Here are some of the best.
“ 1 .”
This proverb comes from the song Home Sweet Home. It simply means home is always the best place. 2 , but it’s where love and family can be found. After being away for so long, you will always find there’s no place like home. So if you have been elsewhere for a long time, you can say “There’s no place like home.” as soon as you arrive home to show how you miss your home and parents.
“The longest way round is the shortest way home.”
Though this proverb also has the word “home”, 3 . Sometimes some students do their homework in a really quick way. They may think it’ll save time if they do it as fast as they can. However, if they only care about the speed, it’s easy to make mistakes, and more time will be spent to red o the task. 4 .
“Home is where the heart is.”
Home doesn’t have to be the building that you live in. It is where you most want to be. 5 . It may be the same city they live in now, the city where they grew up, the house where their parents live, or the place where they are raising their family.
A.So slow down, slow is fast
B.it is necessary to do everything as fast as we can
C.Most people have their “home” in their mind
D.There’s no place like home
E.Where there is a will, there is a way
F.Maybe it’s not that comfortable
G.its meaning is not about “home” but about working and studying skills

2.根据“but it’s where love and family can be found.”可知,前后文为转折关系,前文应说家的缺点。选项F“可能它没那么舒服”符合语境。故选F。

4.根据“However, if they only care about the speed, it’s easy to make mistakes, and more time will be spent to red o the task.”可知,此处指学习东西不能只是关心速度。选项A“所以慢下来,慢就是快”符合语境。故选A。

时文阅读 02——家对人们的重要性
Do you know the saying “There is no place like home!” This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place. Our bedroom, our family, our pets, and all of the things we love are at home.
Is home a place where you can have fun? Being at home means different things to different people. As people grow older, home usually means more responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out?
There are many different kinds of homes. Some people live in flats or single-family homes. Homes have different rooms that are used for different purposes (目的). The kitchen, the bedroom, the living room and the bathroom each have their own use. If your house does not have a roof (屋顶) and you are a bird flying over it, what does your house look like? Think about it.
Some people say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and get a snack from the fridge. You can rest in your room and read a book or playa game. You can ask friends over to play. Home is a place to take care of and be thankful for. Though (虽然) you are young, you can help make your home a nice place. After all, home is where the heart is!
6. What does the saying “There is no place like home!” tell us?

8. What is your best part of being home? Why?

话题经典小故事 01——燕子归巢
Swallows return to their nests
On the edge of the ancient village, there is a towering tree with a swallow nest, which is the home carefully built by a swallow couple. Every spring, they fly back from the distant south, carrying deep thoughts of home.
This year, the swallow couple brought several young swallows who had just learned to fly back home. They fly around the big tree happily, celebrating the joy of returning to the nest. However, when they were about to enter the nest, they found that the entrance was blocked by a large stone.
It turned out that the children in the village thought the swallow nest was very interesting, so they blocked the entrance with stones to see how the swallows would react. The swallow couple looked at the blocked nest opening, filled with anxiety and helplessness. They know that if they cannot remove this stone in time, the swallow will not be able to safely enter the nest to rest.
At that moment, an old swallow flew over. It is the elders of the swallow couple, who once lived on this land. The old swallow saw this scene and immediately understood what had happened. It flew to the stone and gently pecked at it with its beak, trying to move it away.
The swallow couple and the little swallows also joined in the action of cleaning the stones. They worked together, using their beaks and wings to move the large stone away. The nest mouth opened again, and the swallows cheered and flew into the nest.
From then on, the swallow couple cherished their home even more. They not only strengthened the protection of their nest, but also often taught the young swallows to take care of their home. The children in the village were also moved by the unity and tenacity of the swallows, and they no longer disturbed their lives, but began to protect them instead.
燕子归巢
在古老的村庄边缘,有一棵参天大树,树上有一个燕子窝,那是燕子夫妇精心搭建的家园。每年春天,它们都会从遥远的南方飞回来,带着对家的深深思念。
这一年,燕子夫妇带着几只刚学会飞行的小燕子回到了家。它们围绕着大树欢快地飞舞,庆祝着归巢的喜悦。然而,当它们准备进入窝中时,却发现窝口被一块大石头堵住了。
原来,村子里的小孩们觉得燕子窝很有趣,便用石头堵住了窝口,想看看燕子们会如何应对。燕子夫妇看着被堵住的窝口,心中充满了焦急和无奈。它们知道,如果不能及时清理掉这块石头,小燕子们将无法安全地进入窝中休息。
就在这时,一只老燕子飞了过来。它是燕子夫妇的长辈,曾经也在这片土地上生活过。老燕子看到这一幕,立刻明白了发生了什么。它飞到石头旁,用嘴轻轻地啄着石头,试图将它移开。
燕子夫妇和小燕子们也纷纷加入到了清理石头的行动中。它们齐心协力,用嘴啄、用翅膀扇,终于将那块大石头移开了。窝口重新敞开,燕子们欢呼着飞进了窝中。
从此以后,燕子夫妇更加珍惜自己的家园,它们不仅加强了窝的防护,还时常教导小燕子们要爱护自己的家。而村子里的小孩们也被燕子们的团结和坚韧所感动,他们不再打扰燕子们的生活,反而开始保护它们。
阅读感悟:
This story tells us that home is the warmest place in everyone's heart, and no matter how difficult it is, we should try our best to protect it. At the same time, we should also learn to respect and protect the homes of others, so that the world is filled with harmony and warmth. 这个故事告诉我们,家是每个人心中最温暖的地方,无论遇到多大的困难,我们都要努力守护它。同时,我们也应该学会尊重和保护他人的家园,让这个世界充满和谐与温暖。

时文阅读 02——家对人们的重要性
Do you know the saying “There is no place like home!” This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place. Our bedroom, our family, our pets, and all of the things we love are at home.
Is home a place where you can have fun? Being at home means different things to different people. As people grow older, home usually means more responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out?
There are many different kinds of homes. Some people live in flats or single-family homes. Homes have different rooms that are used for different purposes (目的). The kitchen, the bedroom, the living room and the bathroom each have their own use. If your house does not have a roof (屋顶) and you are a bird flying over it, what does your house look like? Think about it.
Some people say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and get a snack from the fridge. You can rest in your room and read a book or playa game. You can ask friends over to play. Home is a place to take care of and be thankful for. Though (虽然) you are young, you can help make your home a nice place. After all, home is where the heart is!
