1. Bummer after the Summer

1 Bummer after the Summer My name is A.J., and I know what you're thinking. You're thinking about Oreos. Because that's what I'm thinking about. Oreos are my favorite cookie. How do they get that yummy cream filling inside each one so perfectly? Do they have machines to do that? Or is some guy sitting in a factory squirting the cream into

我叫a.j.，我知道你们在想什么。 你在想奥利奥。 因为这就是我在想的。 奥利奥是我最喜欢的饼干。 他们是如何把美味的奶油馅料完美地塞进每一个蛋糕里的？ 他们有这样的机器吗？ 还是有人坐在工厂里把奶油喷到

every single Oreo? Man, that guy must be tired at the end of the day! I wouldn't want to grow up and become an Oreo squirter, that's for sure. My point is: third grade is finally over and I have to start fourth grade now. Bummer after the summer! In fourth grade, we'll have to learn all new stuff. Harder stuff. Of course, Andrea Young, this annoying girl in my class with curly brown hair, is soooooooo excited about moving up to fourth grade. Do you know what the Human Homework Machine did over summer vacation? She didn't hang out with the rest of us kids. She didn't play ball or watch TV or play video games. No, she studied! It's true! Andrea needs to be smarter than everybody else in fourth grade. What is her problem? On the first day of school, I saw Little Miss Know-It-All outside on the steps. She

每一块奥利奥？天哪，那家伙一天下来一定累坏了！我不想长大后成为奥利奥喷射器，这是肯定的。 我的意思是：三年级终于结束了，我现在要开始上四年级了。 夏天过后的流浪汉！四年级的时候，我们要学所有的新东西。 困难的东西。当然，安德里亚·杨，我班上那个棕色卷发的讨厌女孩，对于升入四年级非常兴奋。 你知道人类家庭作业机器在暑假做了什么吗？ 她不跟我们这些孩子一起出去玩。 她不打球，不看电视，也不玩电子游戏。 不，她在学习！这是真的!安德莉亚要比四年级的其他人都聪明。 她有什么问题？上学的第一天，我看见万事通小姐站在外面的台阶上。 她

was talking with her crybaby friend, Emily. "I went to the beach with my family in August," Emily said. "It was so much fun!" "I taught myself about quadrilaterals and how to do three-digit multiplication," said Andrea. Quadra-what? I had no idea what she was talking about. Why can't a truck full of quadrilaterals fall on Andrea's head? The rest of the gang was coming up the front steps to school. "Who's gonna be our new teacher?" asked Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn't food. "Who's gonna be our new teacher?" asked Michael, who never ties his shoes. "Who's gonna be our new teacher?" asked Alexia, this girl who rides a skateboard all the time. In case you were wondering, everybody was asking who would be our new teacher. We walked a million hundred miles to room 123, which is the fourth-grade

正在和她爱哭的朋友艾米丽聊天。 “8月份我和家人去了海滩，”艾米丽说。 “太有趣了！”“我自学了四边形和三位数乘法，”安德里亚说。 Quadra-what吗?我不知道她在说什么。 为什么一卡车的四边形不能砸在安德里亚的头上？ 其余的人正走上前门的台阶去学校。 “谁来当我们的新老师？”瑞恩问，他什么都吃，甚至不是食物的东西。 “谁来当我们的新老师？”从不系鞋带的迈克尔问。 “谁会成为我们的新老师？”亚历克西娅问，她是一个经常玩滑板的女孩。 如果你想知道，每个人都在问谁会是我们的新老师。 我们走了一百多英里才到四年级的123教室

classroom. The sign above the door said MISS BANKS. "Who's Miss Banks?" asked Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes. "I never heard of her." "She must be a new teacher," I said. That's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. As soon as we stepped on the carpet inside the classroom door, there was a weird popping sound. POP! POP! POP! POP! "Eeeeeeek!" screamed Emily. "Help!" shouted Alexia. "The aliens have landed!" shouted Ryan. "Run for your lives!" shouted Neil.

教室。门上的牌子上写着班克斯小姐。 “谁是班克斯小姐？”尼尔问，我们管他叫裸体小孩，尽管他穿着衣服。 “我从来没听说过她。”“她一定是个新老师，”我说。 就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 我们一踏上教室门里面的地毯，就听到一声奇怪的爆破声。 流行!流行!流行!流行!“eeeeeek!” “救命！”“外星人着陆了！”瑞恩喊道。 “逃命！”尼尔喊道。

Everybody was yelling and screaming

每个人都在大喊大叫
