CHAPTER 1 THE PRESIDENTS' DAY CHALLENGE FERGUS AND ZEKE loved school. They were the class pets in Miss Maxwell's room, and they did everything the children did. When it was time for math class, Fergus and Zeke worked on problems together.

第一章总统日的挑战费格斯和齐克都热爱学校。 它们是麦克斯韦小姐房间里的班级宠物，孩子们做什么，它们就做什么。 上数学课的时候，费格斯和齐克一起做题。

When the students did yoga, Fergus and Zeke tried out every pose. And when everyone gathered for show- and-tell, Fergus and Zeke shared their treasures with each other, too.

当学生们做瑜伽时，费格斯和齐克尝试了每一个姿势。 当大家聚在一起表演时，费格斯和齐克也互相分享了他们的宝贝。

One day, Miss Maxwell circled a date on her calendar. "Presidents' Day is coming up soon." she said. "We will each do a special project to teach people about the presidents. You can choose to make a poster or a model or share a report."

一天，麦克斯韦尔小姐在日历上圈出一个日期。 “总统日马上就要到了。” 她说。“我们每个人都会做一个特别的项目来教人们了解总统。 你可以选择制作海报、模型或分享报告。”

Miss Maxwell showed the class a picture of the White House, where the president lives. "The president is the leader of the United States," she said. "What do you think it means to be a good leader?" "Leaders should be good listeners," said Will.

麦克斯韦尔小姐给同学们看了一张总统住的白宫的照片。 “总统是美国的领袖，”她说。 “你认为成为一个好领导意味着什么？”“领导者应该善于倾听，”威尔说。
