事》
劳动是一切具有劳动能力公民的光荣职责。
从前，有一位技艺精湛的老木匠，他在财主家工作了许多年，打造出了无数精美坚固
的房屋。
Once upon a time, there was a highly skilled old carpenter who had worked for a wealthy
landlord for many years and had built numerous exquisite and sturdy houses.
如今，老木匠年纪渐大，打算退休，过上悠闲的生活。
Now, as the old carpenter was getting on in years, he planned to retire and lead a leisurely
life.
财主得知老木匠要离开，心中十分不舍。
When the wealthy landlord learned that the old carpenter was about to leave, he was very
reluctant to part with him.
他深知老木匠的手艺高超，便恳请老木匠再为他建造一座房子，作为最后的告别之作。
Knowing the old carpenter's superb craftsmanship, he earnestly requested the old carpenter to
build one more house for him as a final farewell work.
老木匠虽然答应了，但心思早已不在工作上。
The old carpenter agreed, but his mind was no longer on the work.
他想着即将到来的退休生活，满心期待，干活时也不再像以往那般用心。
He was looking forward to his upcoming retirement life with full anticipation and no longer
worked with his usual dedication.
在建造房子的过程中，老木匠没有像往常一样精心挑选材料，而是随手拿了一些质量
较差的木材和工具。
During the process of building the house, instead of carefully selecting materials as he used to,
the old carpenter casually picked up some poor - quality wood and tools.
他干活的速度倒是很快，可每一个环节都显得敷衍了事，完全没有了往日的严谨与专
注。
He worked quickly, but every step seemed perfunctory, completely lacking his former rigorand concentration.
没过多久，房子就建好了。
Before long, the house was built.
这座房子从外表看似乎和其他房子并无区别，但只有老木匠自己知道，这座房子存在
着诸多隐患。
From the outside, this house seemed no different from others, but only the old carpenter himself
knew that there were many hidden problems in this house.
房子建好后，财主带着家人来到了新房前。
After the house was completed, the wealthy landlord came to the new house with his family.
他微笑着对老木匠说：“老师傅，您为我工作了这么多年，这座房子是我送给您的
礼物，希望您能在这里安享晚年。
”He smiled at the old carpenter and said, "Master, you have worked for me for so many years.
This house is a gift from me to you. I hope you can enjoy your old age here."
老木匠听后，顿时愣住了。
Upon hearing this, the old carpenter was stunned.
他看着自己匆匆建成的房子，心中充满了悔恨。
Looking at the house he had built in a hurry, his heart was filled with remorse.
如果他当初能认真对待，这座房子本可以成为他晚年舒适的住所，可如今却因为自己
的疏忽，让它成了一个劣质的作品。
If he had taken it seriously at the beginning, this house could have been a comfortable residence
for his old age. But now, due to his negligence, it had become an inferior work.
他后悔自己没有珍惜这最后的机会，没有以一贯的高水准完成工作。
He regretted that he hadn't cherished this last opportunity and hadn't completed the work with
his usual high standards.
从那以后，老木匠只能住在自己亲手建造的这座并不完美的房子里，时刻提醒自己做
事要始终如一，不能有丝毫懈怠。
From then on, the old carpenter could only live in this imperfect house he had built with his
own hands, constantly reminding himself to be consistent in doing things and never slack off.
这个故事告诉我们：人生的每一件事都是为自己而做，要做就做到最好。
This story tells us that every single thing in life is done for ourselves. If we do something, we
should strive to do it to the best of our ability.劳动节相关词汇

阅读理解BAfter a long week in my boarding school(寄宿学校), Friday finally came. As usual, I went
home excitedly after school with my big suitcase.
When I opened the door, my cousin threw her arms around me. She just came all the way from
Germany(德国) to visit my family. Then she saw my luggage(行李)and looked very interested. She
thought I brought gifts for her. But when she opened it, she found it was full of a whole week's dirty
laundry and smelled very terrible. This was because in order to have more time to study, I would

"German students always do the laundry by themselves, "my cousin said in a low voice. Not
until that day did I truly know the difference between Chinese and foreign students. Take German
students as an example, they usually have a chore list, and housework is normal for them.
Feeling ashamed, I decided to make a change. I told my parents not to help me with my clothes.
The next day, I got up early to wash them. It took me more than an hour to do it. Although I was worn

smiled sweetly.

Teens will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing life's difficulties alone,
so they should learn basic (基本的) life skills and develop good working habits.
The government (政府) has been trying to pay attention to (关注) the importance of hard-
working spirit education(劳动教育). But it seems that people haven't cared much about it in recent
years. Many teens do not value (重视) the
importance of working hard. There is a teenage girl named Nancy. She never helps out around
the house. Once her mother was on vacation for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother
came home from vacation, she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, Primary
and middle schools should provide students with courses on hard-working spirit every week. To our
joy, some schools have provided each class with a small place outside to plant their favorite
vegetables. For example, No.38 Middle School in Hefei, set up a 500-square-meter farm on an open
platform (露天平台) of their teaching building. Each class is asked to grow and pick vegetables
there.
Parents should also encourage (鼓励) children to learn how to do chores at home. Teens should
learn one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes
and tidying their rooms. The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the
future.
10．The example of Nancy in the second paragraph shows ____.
A．Nancy is too busy to help out around the house
B．many teens do not value the importance of working hard
C．Nancy's parents don't want her to help with chores at home

A．playing computer games B．washing clothes
C．cooking D．cleaning the bedroom

A．Schools should teach students the value of working hard.
B．Parents should encourage their children to do chores at home.C．The government never pays attention to hard-working spirit education.

Most people think privacy (隐私) is very important in their lives. If you want your parents to knock

Do some chores.
3 But if you choose to do chores before your parents ask you to do so, you will feel in
control of your own time. Also, you can choose the chores that you like to do.
Don't always criticize (指责).
It's easy for you to criticize your parents because you know they love you the most. 4
But that doesn't mean you should do like that. You should be polite to them and talk with them in a nice
way.
