Text A There is Something Very Nice inside Your Drum

It was Jimmy's birthday, and he was five years old. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family, and one of them was a beautiful big drum.
Jimmy的生日到了，他已经五岁了。他从家人那里得到了很多很好的生日礼物，其中一个是一个很大很漂亮的鼓。

"Who gave him that thing? "Jimmy's father said when he saw it.
“谁送他那个鼓的？”Jimmy’的爸爸看到鼓的时候问。

"His grandfather did,"answered Jimmy's mother.

"Oh," said his father.
“他祖父送的，”Jimmy’的妈妈说。
“哦，”他爸爸说。

Of course, Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day, and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise.
当然，Jimmy非常喜欢他的鼓。他用他制造了很大的噪声，但他妈妈不介意。他爸爸白天在工作，而当他晚上回家时Jimmy已经躺在床上睡觉了，所以他不会听到噪声。

But one of the neighbours did not like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him, "Hello, Jimmy. Do you know, there's something very nice inside your drum. Here's a knife. Open the drum and let's find it."
但他们的一位邻居一点也不喜欢那种噪音，所以几天后的一个早上，她带着一把锋利的刀去Jimmy家，那时Jimmy正在打鼓。她跟他说，”Hello，Jimmy。你知道吗，有件很棒的东西在你的鼓里。给你刀，把这个鼓打开，让我们找到他。“

如果你是Jimmy，你会听这位邻居的话打开心爱的鼓吗？我是说在你五岁的时候哦。

Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading and retell the story to your partner.

想一想，大家觉得小偷被抓住了吗？OK，don't forget to retell the story!

The police in the big city were looking for a thief. At last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him - from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat - he suddenly attacked the policemen and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away.
Then a week later the telephone rang in the police-station, and somebody said,“You are looking for Bill Cross, aren't you?”
“Yes.”
“Well, he left here for Water bridge an hour ago.”
Water Bridge was a small town about 100 miles from the city. The city police at once sent four different photographs of the thief to the police in Water Bridge.
Less than twelve hours later they got a telephone call from the police in Water Bridge. “We have caught the fours this evening, we think.”
