　　3分钟英语小故事 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

　　每个人都有家。我们大家生活在那里，并从那里获取温暖。我们家有三口人，我妈妈、爸爸，还有我。我们在一起幸福地生活，我们家有许多有趣的故事。

　　我爸爸工作认真。他是一名医生，他总是尽他最大的努力 去帮助每一位病人，尽力使他们感觉舒服。有的时候，他工作太认真以致于忘了日期。

　　我妈妈是一位记性很不好的人。她总是做很多家务活，但有时却因为她的粗心而做错事。比如说，有一天，她用洗衣机洗衣服，最后却发现自己忘了在洗衣机中放水。现在让我告诉你一件有趣的事：一天，爸爸想像平常一样早起，但是由于他前天没有设置闹钟，所以他起晚了，当他起床时，他匆匆忙忙地洗漱完毕就去上班了，爸爸离开后，妈妈神秘地对我说：“他一会儿一定会回来的。”“为什么?”我十分惊讶。“因为今天是星期天，他的假日。”妈妈正说着的时候，不一会儿，爸爸就回来了，并且再一次上床睡觉了——因为他太累了。

　　你瞧，多么有趣的家庭!我希望你也有一个像我一样的家庭。

　　3分钟英语小故事 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.
