A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow and one day when it was ill, he was very worried. He telephoned the vet.（兽医）
“What's the problem?” The vet asked him when he arrived.
“My cow's ill” the farmer said. “I don't know what the matter with her is. She's lying down and won't eat. She's making a strange noise.”
The vet looked over the cow. "She's certainly ill," he said, "and she needs to take some very strong medicine."
He took a bottle（瓶子） out of his box, put two pills（药丸） into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her better” How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.
The vet gave him a tube (管子)and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That will make it."
The next day the farmer sat outside his house and looked more worried.
“How's your cow?” the vet asked.” No change,” the farmer said, “and I am feeling very strange myself. I did what you said, I put the tube(管子) in the cow's mouth and then put two pills down it.” And?” the vet asked.” The cow blew first, and blew the pills to my mouth.” the farmer said.
Have you seen the videos on TV? Do you wear large T-shirts and baggy（宽松的） jeans? Or have you heard someone rap (说唱)? Hip-Hop is very hot now.
Hip-Hop music was started in the middle of the 1970s by African Americans in New York. break-dancing (霹雳舞)and graffiti(涂鸦)are the two main kinds of music in Western Hip-Hop culture. Most of the Hip-Hop songs are about love, jobs or even games.
Usually in rap, singers speak words very quickly to a certain beat. Most of the words are fun. Singers play off words to make fun of themselves or others. Hip-Hop music has few rules. Singers just do what they think and rap it out in a clever or creative way. The freedom makes a lot of teenagers fall in love with the music. Many of them like wearing large T-shirts and baggy jeans. Famous rap(说唱) and Hip-Hop stars include Eminem in the U. S. and Jay Chou from China.
Today Hip-Hop is more and more popular across most of the world.

More and more young people from China begin to celebrate（庆祝）Father's Day. They send fathers present, or invite them for a nice dinner. But do you know how Father's Day started?
While Mrs. Dodd, from America, was listening to a talk about Mother's Day in a church （教堂）in 1909, she had an ideas of having Father's Day to honor（纪念）her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart used to be a soldier(军人). His wife died when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mr. Smart had to raise his six children alone. They lived a hard life. After Mrs. Dodd grew up, she wanted to thank her father for what he had done for them. She wrote a letter to a church and asked for the third Sunday in June to be Father's Day. The church agreed with her.
The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910 in Washington. Children made special desserts and did other things to make their fathers happy.
