Today let’s enjoy a song<Yankee Doodle>扬基歌. 它描述了一个农村小伙子观看革命军集合时的情景。歌曲曲调比较简单，轻快，歌词诙谐有趣，形象地反映了美国人民乐观、开朗的性格。　　

Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony，　　

　　Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.　　

　　Yankee Doodle keep it up， Yankee Doodle dandy！　　

Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy.　　

　 　

　　Father and I went down to camp along with Captain Gooding.　　

　　There were all the men and boys as thick as hasty pudding.　　

　　　　

　　And there was Captain 　　Washington　　　　

　　Upon a slapping stallion.　　

　　Giving orders to his men I guess there were a million.　　　　

　 　

　　Yankee Doodle give a tune， it comes in mighty handy.　　

　　The enemy all runs away at Yankee Doodle dandy！　　

　　　扬 基 歌　　

　　扬基·杜多进城，骑着一匹小马。　　

　　他帽子上插着翎毛，被人叫做纨绔子弟。　　

　  扬基·杜多，战斗吧！　　

　　扬基·杜多，公子哥！　　

听着音乐和着脚步同姑娘跳舞。　　

　 　

　　我和爸爸跟着古丁上尉来到军营，　　

　　见到人群熙熙攘攘，往来穿流不停。　　

　 　

　　看，上尉华盛顿骑在高大的骏马上，　　

　　向战士们发出命令，就走来了千军万马。　　

　　　　

　　扬基·杜多吹着曲子准备大显身手，　　

　　敌人见了扬基都会吓得屁滚尿流。　　

　 　

早在美国革命以前，在这些英国殖民地上《洋基歌》的曲调和歌词的某些段落就已经很流行。甚至在十八世纪七十年代以前，英军就曾唱《洋基歌》来嘲笑殖民者。 “洋基”是对新英格兰土包子的轻蔑之词，而“嘟得儿”的意思即蠢货或傻瓜。然而，在美国革命期间，美军却采用《洋基歌》作为他们自己的歌，以表明他们对自己朴素，家纺的衣着和毫不矫揉造作的举止感到自豪。歌词有许多不同版本。我们这里选的是比较传统，比较流行的一种。多年来，这首歌一直被当作非正式的国歌，而且是人们最喜欢的儿歌。　　

Next let’s enjoy an English story.　　

The Lion and the Mouse（狮子与老鼠）　　

Long long ago, there was a lion and a mouse in a wood. The lion was great , but the mouse was small.　　

Once the great lion was sleeping under a tree. The little mouse happened to come and ran over his face. The lion awoke, “Oh, it’s you, little mouse. You wake me up!” Then he caught the little mouse in anger, and was going to kill her. “ Oh, dear kind Lion!” cried the little mouse. “ Please forgive me. I didn't mean to do you any harm. Let me go. I’ll return your kindness.”　　

“ Ha, ha, ha,” laughed the lion. “ How can a little thing like you help a great lion?’’ “Kind Lion! Let me go, please. I hope I’ll do something for you.’’ said the little mouse. “OK, little mouse, go away.” “Thank you very much.” Some time after this, the lion was caught in a trap. Just then the little mouse came along. She saw the lion in the trap. She said,” Don’t worry, Mr Lion. I’m coming.” At once she ran up to the lion, and said, “ You were very kind to me once. Now I'll save your life, and repay you the kindness which you showed me the other day.” Soon she gnawed the ropes of the trap with her sharp teeth, and the lion was happy to be free again. “ Thank you, little Mouse! You save my life.” said the lion. Then the great lion and the little mouse were good friends.　　

     It is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion. 就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。所以同学们真诚地对待我们身边每个人，每个物吧！
