英語閱讀是英語學習之路的“重頭戲”,也是培養個人理解和運用英語技能的一個基本方法,英語故事是英語閱讀中比較有趣的一種類型,有時讀者還可以在輕松閱讀中得到全面的人生啟迪,從故事中學習人生哲理和發現生活中困難的處理方法。
A man was going to the house of some richperson. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side ofthe road. He said, “I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man willgive me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat.” Then he took theapples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The riverhad become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; thenhe said, “I cannot go to the rich man’s house today, for I cannot get over theriver.”
He began to go home. He had eaten no foodthat day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to takethem out of the dust and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may beglad to have them at some other time.
