New grammar item:

Project 　　　　　　　 Cucumbers are gr

own for eating fresh o

r preserving as pickle

s. They must be grow

n in warm

temperatures and full sunlight, and

will not stand frost. Cucumbers

mature quickly and are best suited

to large gardens but can be grown in

small areas if caged or trellised.

Cucumbers do best in loose, sandy

loam soil but can be grown in any

well drained soil. Remove rocks,

large sticks and trash before

preparing the soil. Leave fine pieces of

plant material such as dead grass and

small weeds. They will help enrich the

soil when turned under. Spade the soil

to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. This is

about the depth reached by most

shovels or spading forks.

Turn each shovel of soil completely

over so all plant materials are covered

with soil.

Some English farming proverbs.

He who does not rise early never

does a good day’s work.

起床不早 , 一天的工作干不好。 Go to bed with the lamb and rise

with the lark.

随羔羊就寝 , 与云雀同起。

A barley-corn is better than a dia

mond to a cock.

对一只公鸡来说，一颗麦粒优于一颗钻石。

The cuckoo comes in April, and st

ays the month of May; sings a song a

t Midsummer, and then goes away.

布谷鸟，四月来，五月一直在，仲夏唱歌，然后就离开。

Always take out the meal-tub, and never

putting in, soon comes to the bottom.

取粮不储粮，桶底粮光光。 No mill, no meal.

不磨面就没有饭吃。 Sow nothing, reap nothing.    

春不播，秋不收。
