Lesson 1　Evening at Home　第1课　温馨的家

newspaper cold order seem through

stockings chat story light Harry

branches kiss burns Mrs. events

an other Mr. stool lamp mends

It is winter. The cold wind whistles through the branches of the trees.

Mr. Brown has done his day's work, and his children, Harry and Kate, have come home from school.They learned their Lessons well to-day, and both feel happy.

Tea is over. Mrs.Brown has put the little sitting room in order.The fre burns brightly.One lamp gives light enough for all.On the stool is a basket of fne apples.They seem to say，"Won't you have one?"

Harry and Kate read a story in a new book. The father reads hisnewspaper, and the mother mends Harry's stockings.

By and by, they will tell one another what they have been reading about, and will have a chat over the events of the day.

Harry and Kate's bedtime will come frst. I think I see them kiss their dear father and mother a sweet good night.

Do you not wish that every boy and girl could have a home like this?

这是冬天，寒风从树枝中间呼啸而过。

布朗先生忙完了一天的工作，他的孩子哈里和凯特也已经放学回家了。今天课上得非常好，他们都挺愉快的。

喝完茶，布朗夫人将小小的客厅打扫得井井有条。炉火烧得很旺，一盏灯照亮了整个房间。凳子上放着一篮可口的苹果，它们似乎在说：“你不来一个吗？”

哈里和凯特拿着一本新书津津有味地读着里边的故事，父亲在看报纸，而母亲在补哈里的袜子。

过了一会儿，他们互相讲述自己所看的内容，并聊起了这一天发生的事情。

到了哈里和凯特睡觉的时间，我想他们会向亲爱的爸爸、妈妈亲吻并道晚安。

难道你不希望每个男孩和女孩都有这样一个家吗？
