In the Stewart's house early Saturday morning. Grandpa is making breakfast as Robbie enters.
Robbie:Hi, Grandpa.
Grandpa:Hi, Robbie.
Robbie:Can I help?
Grandpa:Yes, indeed. Hand me two eggs from the refrigerator, and I'll make you two fried eggs.
Robbie:How about some bacon?
Grandpa:I made enough for an army. You going to the baseball game today? It's a perfect day for it----a little cloudy but nice and warm.
Robbie:Dad and I were planning to go to the game, but he has to work today, and my friends don't want to go. It's not an important game, anyway.
Grandpa:Do you have any other plans for the day?
Robbie:I'll work on my computer. _________________1___________________
Grandpa:Maybe you can teach me how to work on a computer someday.
Robbie:Anytime. It's really easy, but, like anything, you need to work at it, Grandpa.
[They begin to eat breakfast.]
Robbie:[eating] This bacon is great. I love crispy bacon.
Grandpa:Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?
Robbie:Nothing much.
Grandpa:Well, maybe your dad and I could take you fishing with us.
Robbie:I'd like that, but…
Grandpa:But what?
Robbie:But Dad is always so busy.
Grandpa:Well, can you come fishing with me tomorrow?
Robbie:Sure, I can.
Later that morning. Philip is eating breakfast quickly. He is speaking with Grandpa.
Grandpa:Robbie says you can't take him to the game today.
Philip:I really feel bad about it, but they need me at the hospital today, in the children's ward.
Grandpa:I understand.
Philip:Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.
Grandpa:Definitely. We should. You and Robbie and me. Remember our first fishing trip?
Philip:I sure do…. Well, I've got to run, Dad. See you later. [He leaves.]
On the patio later that day. Grandpa is looking at some fishing gear, things he will need for catching fish. Philip enters.
Philip:Going fishing?
Grandpa:I'm thinking about it…. So, how's work?
Philip:Oh, the usual problems.
Grandpa:You're working pretty hard these days.
Philip:I guess I am.
Grandpa:_______________2___________________
Philip:I remember exactly. It was on his birthday, June second, two years ago. [He laughs.] We didn't catch anything.
Grandpa:Remember our fishing trips?
Philip:Yes. I loved them.
Grandpa:Remember catching your first fish?
Philip:How can I forget? I fell out of the boat! We had some good times together.
Grandpa:Yes, we did. Maybe we should do it again.
Philip:How about tomorrow?
Grandpa:Don't you have to work?
Philip:My paper work will wait.
Grandpa:Oh, Robbie will be thrilled. I am, too, Son.
Philip:I want to spend more time with Robbie.
Grandpa:Tomorrow. ____________3______________And Robbie will love it.

美国文化介绍
三.美国文化介绍
我们在学英语的过程中,无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们,学习一种语言,不只要学其语言,还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧!
1.美国非常喜欢利用周末或节假日外出活动。夏季喜欢去海滨或北方避暑。冬季喜欢到南方或高山滑雪……一般都是自己开车去。在外出旅行度假时人们住的地方之一就是“lodge”。“lodge”是建在乡下或山中的小屋子。一般人们外出狩猎或搞体育运动时的落脚之地。
2. fishing trips:钓鱼是美国最常见的休闲活动之一,但在很多州里,随便垂钓可能是非法的。一般都要购买钓鱼执照,并遵照各地的特殊规定。例如在若干长度以下的鱼,钓上之后须再放回水中,或对于钓竿的使用,有些特别的限制等。
