　　3分鐘英語小故事 My family

　　Everyone has a family. We live in it and feel very warm. There are three persons in my family, my mother, father and I. We live together very happily and there are many interesting stories about my family.

　　My father is a hard-working man. He works as a doctor. He always tries his best to help every, patient and make patients comfortable. But sonetimes he works so hard that he can't remember the date.

　　My mother is a woman with a bad memory. She always does a lot of housework, but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness. For example, one day, she washed clothes in the washer, after the washer finished the work, she found she hadn't filled the washer with water.

　　Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day, father wanted to get up early as usual, buthe wasn't able to do that, because he hadn't set the alarm clock the night before, so when he got up, he did everything in a hurry. After father left, mother said to me mysteriously, "He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised. "Because today is Sunday, his holiday!" Just as mother said, father came back home soon, and went to bed again--he was too tired.

　　You see, what an interesting family have! I hope that you will have one like mine, too.

　　我的家庭

　　每個人都有家。我們大家生活在那里，并從那里獲取溫暖。我們家有三口人，我媽媽、爸爸，還有我。我們在一起幸福地生活，我們家有許多有趣的故事。

　　我爸爸工作認真。他是一名醫(yī)生，他總是盡他最大的努力 去幫助每一位病人，盡力使他們感覺舒服。有的時候，他工作太認真以致于忘了日期。

　　我媽媽是一位記性很不好的人。她總是做很多家務活，但有時卻因為她的粗心而做錯事。比如說，有一天，她用洗衣機洗衣服，最后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己忘了在洗衣機中放水?，F(xiàn)在讓我告訴你一件有趣的事：一天，爸爸想像平常一樣早起，但是由于他前天沒有設置鬧鐘，所以他起晚了，當他起床時，他匆匆忙忙地洗漱完畢就去上班了，爸爸離開后，媽媽神秘地對我說：“他一會兒一定會回來的。”“為什么?”我十分驚訝。“因為今天是星期天，他的假日。”媽媽正說著的時候，不一會兒，爸爸就回來了，并且再一次上床睡覺了——因為他太累了。

　　你瞧，多么有趣的家庭!我希望你也有一個像我一樣的家庭。

　　3分鐘英語小故事 Man Injured at Fast Food Place

　　A 79-year-old man was slightly injured on Saturday while waiting in his brand new convertible in a drive-through lane at Burger Prince restaurant. Herman Sherman of Northville suffered a mild burn about 9:00 p.m. when a young female employee accidentally spilled a cup of coffee into his lap. Sherman said the coffee was hot but not scalding.

　　He refused medical aid, saying the only problem was the stain on his slacks, but it would wash out. He was given a fresh refill. Before Sherman drove off, the restaurant manager, John Johnson, gave him two free gift certificates--one for an extra-large coffee and one for the restaurant's newest sandwich, the McRap.

　　The employee, who was a new hire, was let go later that evening. She was quite upset. She said she would probably sue Burger Prince for letting her go. She said it was the man's fault for ordering something that she might be able to spill.
