Lesson 8 The best and the worst 最好的和最差的
課文內容：
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for‘The Nicest Garden Competition’each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
Notes on the text 課文注釋
1 Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. 喬·桑德斯擁有我們鎮上最漂亮的花園 。在第1冊的第107-112課中，我們講到了英文中形容詞和副詞的比較級和最高級 。本課的主要句型仍是形容詞和副詞的比較級和最高級 。如果形容詞或副詞有兩個以上音節，其比較級和最高級是在形容詞或副詞前加上more或most，如more interesting, the most beautiful 。
2 enter for, 報名參加(各種競賽，考試等活動)
3 more flowers and vegetables, 更多的花卉和蔬菜 。英語中有些形容詞或副詞的比較級和最高級并不規則，如課文中的 good----better----best, bad----worse----worst, many----more----most 。
4 for the worst garden in the town 是介詞短語作定語，修飾prize 。
參考譯文
喬·桑德斯擁有我們鎮上最漂亮的花園 。幾乎每個人都參加每年舉辦的“最佳花園競賽”，而每次都是喬獲勝 。比爾·弗里斯的花園比喬的花園大，他比喬也更為勤奮，種植的花卉和蔬菜也更多，但喬的花園更富有情趣 。他修筑了一條條整潔的小路，并在一個池塘上架了一座小木橋 。我也喜歡花園，但我卻不愿意辛勤勞動 。每年的花園競賽我也參加，但總因是鎮上最劣的花園而獲得一個小獎！
Lesson 9——A cold welcome
課文內容：
On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, ‘It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!* I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

The instrument was brought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken.
