THE GYMNASTICS CLUB One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—wham! Bean crashed into the grass.

体操俱乐部一，二，三，四，五，六，七，八，九，十，砰！比恩撞到了草地上。

"Ouch," said Ivy, peeking through a hole in her sandwich. "Doesn't that hurt?" "No. I'm just dizzy," said Bean. She sat up, and the playground began to tilt. Ugh. She lay down again. Now Emma stood up. She lifted her hands above her head, took a big breath, and began. She did nine good cartwheels before she fell on her head. "Are you all right?" Ivy asked Emma with her mouth full of peanut butter.

“哎哟，”艾薇说，从她三明治的一个洞里偷看。 “不疼吗？”“没有。我只是头晕，”比恩说。 她坐了起来，操场开始倾斜。 啊。她又躺下了。现在艾玛站了起来。 她把双手举过头顶，深深地吸了一口气，开始了。 她做了九个漂亮的侧手翻才倒地而下。 “你没事吧？”艾薇问艾玛，嘴里塞满了花生酱。

"Sort of" said Emma., Now it was Zuzu's turn. Zuzu was the best cartwheeler in the Gymnastics Club. She was also the best backbender. She could do seven round-offs in a row. Nobody else could do even one. Zuzu pulled down her ruffled pink shirt and raised her hands. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve cartwheels, and still Zuzu landed on her feet. Then she arched over backward. She flung her arms over her head and made a perfect backbend. She looked like a turned-over pink teacup. Then she rose back up—boing—like a doll with elastic in its legs. "Wow," said Ivy. Bean jumped up. She just had to do twelve cartwheels. "Stand back!" she yelled. "Wait," said Zuzu. "What about Ivy?

“差不多吧，”艾玛说。现在轮到祖祖了。 祖祖是体操俱乐部最棒的轮盘手。 她也是最棒的御术师。 她可以连续做七次四舍五入。 别人连一件都做不到。 祖祖拉下粉红色的褶边衬衫，举起双手。 一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十、十一、十二次侧手翻，祖祖还是双脚着地。 然后她弯下腰来。 她把双臂举过头顶，做了一个完美的后弯。 她看起来就像一只粉红色的茶杯。 然后她又站了起来——像个腿上有松紧带的洋娃娃。 “哇，”艾薇说。比恩跳了起来。 她只需要做12个侧手翻。 “退后！”她喊道。“等等，”祖祖说。 “那艾薇呢？”

Aren't you going to do a cartwheel, Ivy?" "I'm guarding the jackets," said Ivy. "But Ivy, this is the Gymnastics Club," said Zuzu. "You can't just guard jackets." Why not? Ivy wondered. "We'll teach you how to do it if you don't know" said Emma., "She knows", said Bean. "She can do a cartwheel. I've seen her." Ivy looked at Bean in surprise. Why was

艾薇，你不来个侧手翻吗？”“我在看守这些夹克，”艾薇说。 “但是艾薇，这里是体操俱乐部，”祖祖说。 “你不能只保护夹克。” 为什么不呢?艾薇想知道。“如果你不知道，我们会教你怎么做。”艾玛说。“她知道，”比恩说。 “她会翻筋斗。我见过她。” 艾薇惊讶地看着比恩。 为什么

she saying that? Ivy had never done a cartwheel in her life. Slowly, Ivy put her sandwich down next to Emma's jacket. "There's just one little problem—" she began. "Hey, Leo!" yelled Bean suddenly. "You'd better watch out! If I get hit with that ball, there's going to be trouble!" Leo was the leader of the soccer kids at Emerson School. Before there was a Gymnastics Club, the soccer kids had the whole field to themselves during lunch recess. When Bean and Emma and Zuzu and Ivy started the Gymnastics Club, they kept getting hit with soccer balls. One day, Bean got clobbered in the stomach, and she declared war on the soccer kids. She came to school with a bag of ripe plums and chased Leo down. When she caught him, she sat on him and rubbed plums into his hair. Rose the Yard Duty had been really

她这么说？艾薇这辈子从没翻过侧手翻。 慢慢地，艾薇把她的三明治放在艾玛的夹克旁边。 “只是有一个小问题——”她开始说。 “嘿，利奥！”比恩突然喊道。 “你最好小心点！”如果我被那个球击中，我就有麻烦了！”里奥是爱默生学校足球孩子们的领袖。 在体操俱乐部成立之前，踢足球的孩子们在午休时可以独占整个场地。 当比恩、艾玛、祖祖和艾薇成立体操俱乐部时，他们一直被足球打。 有一天，比恩肚子上挨了一拳，她向足球孩子们宣战。 她带着一袋成熟的李子来到学校，追赶利奥。 当她抓住他时，她坐在他身上，在他的头发上揉李子。 罗斯的庭院值班真的是
