Early one morning, a crow sat in a tall re. She had a big piece of cheese in her beak（鸟嘴）. She thought it would be a nice1for her baby.
A fox came by. He was quite2 because he could not find anything to eat. As he walked by, he3and saw the crow up in the tree with the cheese. Since he wanted the cheese for himself, he began to think hard how he could take it from the crow. The fox could not climb the 4, so he would have to find a way to make the crow5the cheese.

Michelle is sixty years old now. She hopes to calculate her body age to learn if she is living a healthy life. Here are her ways to calculate her body age:
Find resting pulse rate（静息脉率）
A healthy heart usually beats between 60 and 100times per minute. A lower pulse rate shows that our hearts are strong. Higher pulse rates mean that our hearts have to work harder to do the same amount of work--they are weaker.
She adds one year to her chronological age（实际年龄）because her resting pulse rate is more than 100 beats per minute.
Calculate sleep
Our body needs sleep. People usually need to sleep between 7 and 8 hours per night. Getting less than that can make us tired and older.
Michelle will subtract（减去）six months from her age if she often gets 7-9hours of sleep. If she gets 5-6 hours of sleep or sleeps more than 9 hours, she will ad one year to her age. If she gets less than 5 hours of sleep, it means her body age will be even older.
I once worked at a restaurant. One night，an elderly couple signaled（夫妇示意）to me that they were ready to order. I quickly went to them and gave them the menu.
The man began ordering but he talked stutteringly（结结巴巴地）. It was very clear that he had a speech disorder His wife told him what she wanted and the man took the ordering as a way to practise speaking. It took some time for him to order. At the same time his wife was sitting there and she looked so proud.
I had to say they touched me a lot. It just made me realize that love is about acceptance, tolerance and support（接受、宽容和支持）. His wife could have made the order and made things easier for the man, but she didn't. Instead, she supported him and was proud to see him order by himself.
I also learned that life is difficult for us most of the time. The most important is to face the problems in life and try our best to solve them.
