同學們，你或身邊的朋友有過因搬遷或轉學等原因進入新環(huán)境的經(jīng)歷嗎？面對陌生的新環(huán)境，你是會覺得缺乏安全感呢，還是會去快樂地主動接受？今天讓我們一起來看看故事的小男孩是如何表現(xiàn)的吧！

Sally and Robin were twins.

One day they were looking for their old cat， Moggy， when they saw a big van. Then they saw a boy by the van. He looked sad.

“Look， Robin， someone has come to live in that house，” said Sally.

“Lets go and see，” said Robin.

They got off their bikes and went over to the van.

Robin and Sally went up to the boy.

“Im Sally and this is Robin. Do you want to play with us？”

“No，” said the boy， “I dont want to play with you.”

“We only want to be friends，” said Sally.

“I dont want to be friends with you，” said the boy. “I want my old friends. I want to go back to our old house.”

Just then Moggy jumped down from a wall and went into the boys garden.

“Thats our cat， Moggy，” said Sally.

“I dont like cats，” said the boy. “Get him out of here.”

Sally took Moggy out of the garden and put him back on the wall.

“Come on， Robin. Lets go and play on our bikes again，” she said.

“Your bikes are not good，” said the boy. “My bike is much bigger and faster than yours.”

van貨車

get off下車，反義詞組為：get on 上車

go over to朝……走去（有一定距離）

go up to走上前去，靠近

go back to回去，返回

go into進入（某空間、建筑物等）

That made Sally cross.

“So you think you can go faster than us， do you？” she said.

“Yes， Ill show you，” said the boy， and he went off to get his bike.

“I dont like him much，” said Robin.

“I dont like him at all！” said Sally. “Ill show him that my bike can go faster than his！”

The boy came back with his bike.

It was bigger than Sallys bike and it looked as if it could go much faster too.

Sally and the boy got on their bikes and Robin called out，

“One， two， three， GO！”

“Come on， Sally！” Robin called.

Sally tried to catch up with the boy， but he was going much too fast for her.

Just then Moggy jumped down from the wall. He sat down on the path and went to sleep.

Moggy didnt see the boy coming on his bike.

“Oh no！” said Robin. “Hes going to run into Moggy.”

Then the boy looked up and saw Moggy on the path. He pulled on his brakes and Moggy ran away.

But then the boy fell off his bike and cut his knees.

Sally and Robin ran over to him.

“You would have been first if you hadnt stopped，” said Robin.

“Yes，” said the boy， “but I didnt want to hurt your cat.”

Then the boy said， “Im sorry I was cross before. Can we be friends now？”

“Yes，” said Sally and Robin， and they all went off to play on their bikes.
