船长英音世界的伙伴们，今天是2018年的最后一天。再过几个小时，我们就一起来到了新年。

        这一年，无论遇到了什么，只要我们努力过，那就没有浪费这一年。在这里，我特别要感谢所有在船长世界学习的水手们，和我们的金耳朵与志愿者救援队的伙伴们。因为大家的信任和付出，使得我们能够一起为更多喜欢英语特别是英语发音的伙伴们建立了这个不断壮大的社群。我们在新的一年，踏实做事，继续前行。

        新的一年，每人或许都有一些计划。但这还不够，定好计划，我们要做的是竭尽全力地实现它。这就是我的New Year's Resolution。 

        在这个时刻，大部分地区气温已经很低了。想象一下，围坐在壁炉旁，我给大家念这个寓言故事。新的一年，如果你有了计划，那就不再犹豫，坚定地去实现和执行它。

        新年快乐。

        His aunt Helen said to him, ‘No one will ever care for you if you carry on like this. You have no more mind than a blade of grass.’ Arthur looked wise, but stupidly said nothing. 

        One rainy day, the rats heard a great noise in the loft where they lived. The pine rafters were all rotten in the middle, and at last one of the joists had given way and fallen to the ground. The walls shook and all the rats’ hair stood on end with fear and horror. ‘This won’t do,’ said the old rat who was chief, ‘I’ll send out scouts to search for a new home.’

        Three hours later the seven tired scouts came back and said, ‘We have found a stone house, which is just what we wanted; there is room and good food for us all. There is a kindly horse named Nelly, a cow, a calf, and a garden with flowers and an elm tree. ’ Just then the old rat caught sight of young Arthur. ‘Are you coming with us?’ he asked. ‘I don’t know,’ Arthur sighed. ‘ The roof may not come down just yet.’ ‘ Well,’ said the old rat angrily, ‘we can’t wait all day for you to make up your mind. Right about face! March!’ And they went straight off.

        Arthur stood and watched the other little rats hurry away. The idea of an immediate decision was too much for him. ‘I’m going back to my hole for a bit,’ he said to himself dreamily, ‘just to make up my mind.’ 

        That Tuesday night there was a great crash that shook the earth and down came the whole roof. Next day some men rode up and looked at the ruins. One of them moved a board and hidden under it they saw a young rat lying on his side, quite dead, half in and half out of his hole.
