I can't tell you how excited I went to Beijing with my parents. We went to many museum and tasted traditional Beijing food. The most exciting time was during our visit to Tian'anmen Square. How proud we felt to watch the national flag rising there! |

Mary Armstrong was a pretty little girl, but she did not pay attention to her things. She usually left her books and playthings everywhere, and it gave her mom much trouble in picking them up and putting them in the proper places. Some of her books and toys became spoiled (损坏). Her mom had often told Mary the bad result of being so careless. The growing habit of carelessness would make her unhappy, and sometimes annoy her friends. Even worse, it would be of great harm to her all her life. But Mary didn't listen to her mom. So they argued a lot.
One day, Mary made a beautiful toy, a gift for her best friends birthday. When her mom asked her to go out into their yard to play, Mary put the toy in her room casually (不经意地). She ran around and played happily there. An hour later, it was time to go to her friend birthday party. Mary went back to get the toy. But she couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, she found the toy broken in the comer. At once she realized that Dash, her pet dog had done this, and she was very angry. Carrying the broken toy to her mom, she couldn't help crying.
Mrs. Armstrong asked Mary if she had left the toy in the place where Dash could easily get it, and Mary answered, "Yes, mom."
"Then you should not be irritated, Mary, because the dog does not know it is wrong to play with your toy. I hope this will be a lesson to you hereafter, to put your things away when you finish."
"I will try", said Mary. And her mom promised to repair(修理)the toy as well as she could.

Holidays with friends can be great fun and a good way of getting to know each other better. Planning the trip well will help you have a good time. Also it will help you to save money if you start planning earlier.
Going abroad (国外)will cost more but be a more exciting experience. Don't go abroad if this is the first trip you help to organize. Going to a different place in your own country can also be fun and will be cheaper.
Work out how many people you will be able to plan the trip for. Find out how much interest there is for people to go on the trip, and then invite people who you think will enjoy themselves and who you get on well with.
Everyone will have their own idea of what they want the trip to be like, so you should have a meeting. Keep a notebook and write down things to do. If you share ideas with others, you will take a happier trip.
After you decide on your hotel, you'll know the dates(日期)of your stay and be able to book transport, such as bus, train and airplane. Booking transport earlier can save some money, so you'd better book as soon as possible.
Everyone worries. It's true even for kids. We asked 1,154 boys and girls, and they said it was the health of their loved ones.
Kids are most worried about their loved ones who are ill or who they think might have a health problem.
The people they love mean a lot to them. If it's a parent, they might worry about something happening to him or her. Who would take care of them, be there for them, or know just how to make their favorite breakfast?
Is there anyone you're worried about now? If so, here are two ways to deal with it
Get the facts. If you hear a little piece of information when you mom or dad is talking on the phone to someone, don't get yourself worriedJust ask your mom or dad if someone is ill. If the answer is no, then you can stop worrying. If the answer is yes, ask your mom or dad to tell you what kind of illness it is and what Hie person needs to do. The good news is that there are treatments(治疗) and medicines for just about every kind of illness.
Talk it out. Some worries can be too much for kids. Sometimes he or she won't be able to change the things that worries you, but just getting your worries out of your heart and head can make you feel better.
A. So they get afraid and sad if one of their loved ones get ill. B. But what do kids worry about most? C. Talking to someone can help you a lot. D. Why do kids worry about their loved ones? E. First, find out what's happening. |

One afternoon, it was very hot. I was on the highway to Fuzhou when another car suddenly came into my lane(车道). My car was ill the far right lane, so it ran onto the roadside. luckily, it didn't cause an accident.
I was with that driver, but I that he just did not pay attention to the lane change, and maybe be was just.
The car ran away after cutting me off. Very soon it disappeared. After a while, I came around a curve(弯道)and found the same car. The driver was walking along the roadside. He was an elderly man and looked . As there was no telephone nearby and the nearest services were twenty miles away, I decided to help and see what the problem was.
The man's car had a flat tire(瘪胎).Though he had another tire, had nothing to work with. I decided to help him. I changed the tire for him and let him sit in my air-conditioned(空调)car while 1 did it.

When Dean was ten years old, he lost his arms in accident. His father also died in that accident.
From then on, he had to depend on his younger brother. One day, his younger brother decided to leave him. He wanted to live his own life. Dean was very sad about that and didn't know what do.
A similar thing happened to a 7-year-old girl, too. One night, she tried to prepare meals for her parents, but a big fire happened and it took her hands away. Though her elder sister said she would like to take care of her, the girl thought that she could look after herself. Then she learned to strong. Once she wrote the following words, "I am lucky. my wings(翅膀)are broken, my heart can still fly."
Nobody knows what will happen in our life. if we decide to be strong ,everythingbe OK. And new hopes will appear.
