【篇一】第25期
The First Ball Games
The first interesting thing for sports use was the ball.
In ancient Egypt, as in everywhere,
throwing stones was a favorite children's game.
But a stone could hurt a child.
Looking for something less dangerous to throw,
the people in Egypt made,perhaps,the first balls.
At first,balls were made of grass or leaves held together
Later they made balls with animals' skin.
They put the pieces of animals' skin together with thread
and put in some birds' feathers or grass.
This kind of ball was soft and not heavy.Everyone liked to play with it.
Although the people in Egypt liked fighting and wars,
they tried to save time for sports games.
Before long they could play a lot of new ball games,each with its own rules.
Perhaps they thought
the games were useful to help the young men run faster in wars.
【篇二】早的球類運動
球是早的有意思的體育用具。
在古埃及，和其他地方一樣，
丟石塊是孩子們喜歡的游戲。
但是石塊會傷到孩子。
為了找到可以降低危險的玩具，
埃及人做出了第一個球
起初，人們把草或樹葉塞緊做成了球。
后來,他們用動物皮做球，
他們用線把動物皮縫起來，
再把鳥的羽毛或草塞進去。
這種球又軟又輕，人人都愛玩。
盡管埃及人喜歡打架，征戰(zhàn)，
但還是找時間參與體育游戲。
不久他們能夠玩很多新鮮的球類游戲，各個游戲有自己的規(guī)則。
或許他們認為
這些游戲能使他們在戰(zhàn)場上跑得更快。
【篇三】第26期
Fires Long Ago
We don't know how the first fire was made.
Early fires on the earth were certainly caused by nature,not by man.
Some were caused by lightning in a storm,
others,perhaps by one hot material which came out of a volcano.
Quite possibly,at times,
the heat of the sun set light to some dry grass or leaves.
At first,man,like other animals,was probably afraid of fire.
He saw that fire could destroy a forest;
he knew that fire could hit his body.
So great was the power of fire that he feared it and worshipped it.
Gradually,however, with his better powers of thinking, he overcame his fear
Probably he overcame most of his fear
when he discovered how to make fire for himself,
but,undoubtedly,
he learned some of the uses of fire
before he could make one when and where he wished.
Throughout the ages he has learned more about fire,how to control it,
and how to use it in many ways.
Now fire is no longer a master or a god,it is a servant.
Again,at some early date,
Man found how fire could be used to make certain metals from rocks.
Some time later,he found out how to make the metal which we now call bronze.
This is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze was a very useful metal.
It was hard and tough,
but he could shape it by hammering(probably with heavy stones).
It isn't so easy to get iron from its ore
and this metal was probably not discovered until very much later.
【篇四】很久以前的火
我們不知道第一束火是怎樣來的。
但地球上早期的火是由大自然產生的，不是人發(fā)明的。
有些火是由雷電造成，
有的也許是由火山噴發(fā)出的熱物質造成的。
也許更多的是
太陽的熱量燃燒了干燥草和樹葉。
起初，人像其他動物一樣怕火。
他看到火燒毀整片森林
他知道火會燒傷他的身體。
火的力量如此強大，他懼怕它，崇拜它。
漸漸的，隨著他思考的越多，他克服了這種恐懼。
或許他克服了大部分的恐懼，
在他發(fā)現(xiàn)怎樣自己生火時，
但是，毋庸置疑，
他學會了一些火的用途
在他隨時隨地能夠生火前。
隨著歲月的推移，他對火了解得更多了，知道如何控制它，
如何用不同的方式用它
現(xiàn)在火不再是主人或上帝，而是人類的仆人。
又如，早期，
人發(fā)現(xiàn)了怎樣用火把某些金屬從巖石里弄出來
后來，他想出了如何生產我們稱之為青銅的金屬，
它是銅和錫的混合物，青銅的實用性強。
盡管它很堅硬，
但是人能夠用錘子把它分開（也許是用很沉的石頭）。
從礦石中提煉出鐵不是件容易的事，
所以很多年之后，人們才發(fā)現(xiàn)這種金屬。
