每日背誦第五期43
In our country schools are closed during the summer. This custom was important 200 years ago when most people were farmers. People needed their children to help them pick the crops in June, July and August. But few people are farmers anymore. Today many parents feel school should be open during the summer months.
在美國，學(xué)校在夏天都放假。這個(gè)習(xí)俗在200年前是很重要的，當(dāng)時(shí)大多數(shù)人都是農(nóng)民，人們?cè)?至8月份需要孩子們幫助收割莊稼。但現(xiàn)今，只有極少數(shù)人是農(nóng)民，許多家長感到學(xué)校應(yīng)該在夏天開放。
