To learn new words: junior, clear, bedroom, own, railway, part, certain, honest, while, truthful …
Read the article written by a father for a newspaper. What is his family going to sell at the yard sale?
My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children’s home.
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too!
Read the article again and answer the questions.
1. Why did they decide to have a yard sale?
They decided to have a yard sale because they have too many things in the house and don’t seem to have enough space.
2. What do they want to do with the money from the sale?
They want to give the money to a children’s home.
3. Why does the son want to keep his train and railway set?
He wants to keep his train and railway set because he has had it since his fourth birthday and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven.
4. How can the old toys be useful again?
Old toys can bring joy to children who don’t have the money to buy toys.
5. Have you ever thought about having a yard sale to sell your things? What would you do with the money you raise?
Yes, I have. I would give the money I raise to my favorite animal shelter to help the animals there.
Language points

我要替你把那个小衣橱清理出来。
2. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use.
我们决定每人出售五件不再使用的物品。
(1)此句中we no longer use是由that引导的定语从句，修饰前面的名词five things。
(2)句中no longer的意思是“不再；不复”，有时可用not ... any longer或not ... any more替换。
e.g. He no longer lives here.
(= He doesn’t live here anymore / anylonger.)
他不再住这儿了。
3) each在句中对we进行限定，表示“（两个或两个以上的人或物中）各自；每个”。
e.g. My sister and I each have an English-Chinese dictionary.
我和姐姐各有一本英汉词典。
3. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
1) certain adj. 意为“某种；某事；某人”
