介绍:
1. It is winter. The cold wind whistles（v. 吹口哨） through the branches（n. 树枝） of the trees.
2. Mr. Brown has done his day's work, and his children, Harry and Kate, have come home from school. They learned their lessons well today, and both feel happy.
3. Tea is over. Mrs. Brown has put the little sitting room（n. 客厅） in order. The fire burns brightly. One lamp（n. 灯） gives light enough for all. On the stool（n. 凳子） is a basket of fine apples. They seem to say, “Won't you have one? ”
4. Harry and Kate read a story in a new book. The father reads his newspaper, and the mother mends Harry's stockings（n. 长筒袜）.
5. By and by, they will tell one another what they have been reading about, and will have a chat（n. 聊天） over the events of the day.
6. Harry and Kate's bedtime（n. 睡觉时间） will come first. I think I see them kiss their dear father and mother a sweet good night.
7. Do you not wish that every boy and girl could have a home like this?
