Lesson 10　At Work　第10課　做作業

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.

偶爾玩玩無傷大雅，甚至大有好處。玩過之后，我們就應該靜下心來好好做作業。

我認識一個男孩，他非常喜歡玩游戲。他總是去跑步、游泳、跳高、打球，放學后他總是玩得特別開心。

但他知道，不是所有時間都是用來玩的，我們擁有的每一分鐘、每一小時、每一天，都是無比珍貴的。

所以，玩完游戲之后，他就回家了。之后，他會洗洗手，梳梳頭，然后幫助媽媽做家務、讀書，或者在石板上寫字。

他總是說：“做事情要專心。”做完作業之后，他會繼續玩，但他從不會邊玩邊做作業。
