Lesson 10　At Work　第10课　做作业

washed hours precious game

harm any brushed end

A little play does not harm any one, but does much good. After play, we should be glad to work.

I knew a boy who liked a good game very much. He could run, swim, jump, and play ball；and was always merry when out of school.

But he knew that time is not all for play；that our minutes, hours, and days are very precious.

At the end of his play, he would go home. After he had washed his face and hands, and brushed his hair, he would help his mother, or read in his book, or write upon his slate.

He used to say，"One thing at a time."When he had done with work, he would play；but he did not try to play and to work at the same time.

偶尔玩玩无伤大雅，甚至大有好处。玩过之后，我们就应该静下心来好好做作业。

我认识一个男孩，他非常喜欢玩游戏。他总是去跑步、游泳、跳高、打球，放学后他总是玩得特别开心。

但他知道，不是所有时间都是用来玩的，我们拥有的每一分钟、每一小时、每一天，都是无比珍贵的。

所以，玩完游戏之后，他就回家了。之后，他会洗洗手，梳梳头，然后帮助妈妈做家务、读书，或者在石板上写字。

他总是说：“做事情要专心。”做完作业之后，他会继续玩，但他从不会边玩边做作业。
