1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Our school’s science festival just ended a few days ago. What impressed(使留下深刻印象) me most was the time we spent making a car. It was made of corrugated cardboard(瓦楞纸板), but can still hold a person, as well as move.
1.我们对这个想法很激动, 但我们发现做辆车很难。It seemed impossible for a cardboard car to carry someone. Our physics teacher showed us a video. In the video, there was some corrugated cardboard shaped like a “V” or “W”. It is tougher (更加坚固) and can hold more weight. This gave us the idea to make the car after getting the proper materials.
2.Because there was not much time left for us, we had to finish it as quickly as possible. We talked about how the car should be made and how to do experiments with it. I was glad that we were able to work closely with each other. 3.每个人都认为这是个有趣的放松方法。Indeed, enjoying the process helped us feel less stressed. 4.When the car was finally finished, we all wore a smile on our faces and found that all our hard work had been worth it, even after spending the whole afternoon working on it.
We joined the competition after we finished the car. 5.Though we didn’t win, we found something more meaningful than success. We learned new things about physics and learned how to get along with each other.

Suppose you are 17 and live alone with no money. Years ago, that was my dad. His father died when he was 10, and as the oldest of five, he had to take care of his brothers and sisters. When his mother remarried, my dad had to leave home. With few choices, he joined the army, and worked as hard as he could for a job, a nice house, and a family. Having a dad like him has made me different from other people; with his help and advice, I set and meet my goals.
When I wanted to play basketball, my dad said, “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.” People thought I was too small to play, but he let me know I could. Looking back now, I know why my dad said this to me: it was something his father and mother never told him.
Time flew by. It was time for me to look for a job. A department store offered me a job as cart assistant. For the whole day, I pushed shopping carts. It was so cold that I couldn’t move my hands. But my dad wouldn’t let me give up, even though I wanted to. He kept saying it would get better, and he was right. I’ve worked there for a year now and I do much more than just push carts.
My dad helped me grow into the person I’m becoming. When I was younger, I was small. The other boys called me “____Nicky”. I hated it. I went to my dad for a help. He encouraged me and helped me make an exercise plan and I got to work.
In my life, there are different roads. My dad helped me get on the one I continue on today. I know I am just at the beginning. There will be difficulties. But there will always be my dad. Even when he is not physically here for me, his words won’t leave my mind.

26、Once there were three trees in the woods on a hill. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, “Someday I hope to be a treasure box. I could be filled with gold, silver and valuable items. I could be decorated with beautiful designs and I will be the most beautiful treasure box in the world.” Then the second tree said, “Someday I will be the biggest ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my body.” Finally, the third tree said, “I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will come to see me on the top of the hill. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.”
After a few years of praying(祈祷)that their dreams would come true, the trees were visited by a group of woodsmen. When one came to the first tree, he said, “This tree looks like a strong one. I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter(木匠).” And he began cutting it down. The tree was very happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure box.
At the second tree, a woodsman said, “This looks like a strong tree and I should be able to sell it to the ship factory.” The second tree was also very happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a huge and strong ship. When woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down, his dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, “I don’t need anything special from my tree. I’ll take this one.” And he cut it down.
The first tree was made into a feeder box for animals and was placed. In a barn and filled with hay(干草). The second tree was made into a small fishing boat. The third tree was left alone in the dark.
Years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one day, a woman came to the barn and saw the feed box. The man wished that he could place their baby in this feed box that was made from the first tree. The tree could know that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water a great storm came and the tree didn’t think it was strong enough to keep the man safe. The men stood and said “peace” and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. The tree was raised in the air at the top of a hill to support the electric wire and he came to realize that he was strong enough and his dream came true.
