Eric was walking along the road of the countryside with his dad when he saw the tortoise(乌龟). He touched it. The tortoise stopped moving and retracted(缩)its head and legs to the shell(壳). Eric became angry. He used a stick and tried to force its head and legs to come out.
His dad saw this. He stopped him and said, "Son, you won't get it open with a stick." Eric was surprised and asked," Why? ”
"Just wait and see, "his dad answered. Then to protect the tortoise, he put it in a bag and took it back home.
After getting home, the dad put it near the fireplace. A few minutes later, the tortoise stretched(伸展)out its head and legs and moved a little. How exciting!

Teaching kids good manners is very important. It's best to do it when they are young.
Good eating manners begin with good table manners. Tell your kids that dinner time is family time. There should be no phones or text messages at the table. They can talk about family things.
Kids should say" please" and" thank you" when asking for food on the table. They should not reach over(越过)other people to get food. Teach your kids not to eat with their mouths open or talk with their mouths full. If it's hard for them to understand, show them how it looks and sounds. When they see this, they'll understand. They should also eat slowly and take small bites(咬).
Washing hands is important to health. When eating at a friend's house, tell your kids to thank the host. Let them put their own dishes in the sink(水槽)after diner. For elder children, they can help do the dishes.
On December 3rd, 2017 a program by CCTV called National Treasure(国家宝藏)was shown to people all over the country. It became popular with both the old and the young as soon as it came out.
The show took 27 pieces of cultural relics(文物)from nine museums across the country, such as the Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, Shanxi History Museum and so on. The show expected to bring life to the national treasure. They invited 27 actors and another 27 common people to tell the" old and new life stories" of the relics. The actor acted in a short play about the history of each relic. The other person told his or her own story in relation to the relic.
More and more people are interested not only in the relics themselves, but also in enjoying the stories behind those relics. There are a lot of jokes online about the show. They also help the show by bringing the museums and relics closer to the people.
Why did the show become so successful? "By telling stories and inviting famous stars, it has turned the old culture into interesting stories. It's a really creative program, "said Yin Hongru, a teacher from Tsinghua University.
"The social value(社会价值)of the show is more important than anything else, "said Yu Lei from the program. "We just want more people to go to the museums and take a look at the country's most fantastic treasures."
DNA is the whole" map" of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called "genes" (基因)in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that genes are really messages. They're written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first" word" that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞)to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still don't understand what they all do. By understanding what just one" word" means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this can help to make better medicine to help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more" word" and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way. Just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.

I grew up in a small town in Ohio USA. There was a man, in my town named Bob. He couldn't talk clearly and didn't receive much education. So children in the town all thought he was silly and often played jokes on him.
One day, when 1 met Bob, I decided to play a joke on him just like the other children. He asked how it was going. I told him that my father lost his job, and that, we didn't have enough money to live. Seeing my friends laughing far from us, I decided to continue to play the joke. I knew he was poor, so it seemed funny when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didn't know-if we would have enough to eat.
The next morning, I went out and found a box of food outside my house. I knew it was from Bob. I looked at the small box in shame(羞愧), and wanted to return the box. My father stopped me. He said it would hurt Bob's feeling.
From that day on, when we had dinner, I would think of the small box. Bob gave me the best he had and I knew that I should not have been given that gift.
