    Can you imagine a life without salt? No, salt is very important to us, and we need salt in our food every day. Without enough salt in the food, you will get ill. Animals need salt, too. They need salt to grow strong and faster.

    Most of the salt in our country comes from the sea. People dig very big pools and let seawater in. When the sundries up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.

    There are a lot of salt wells in Sichuan Province of China. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the well water up to the ground and then dry it in big jars over fire. In this way, they get salt.

    We can also get salt from salt mines. A salt mine may be found under the ground. Some years ago, people inJiangxi Province found a big salt mine and soon opened it. People there don't need salt from other places anymore.

    In the northwest of our country, there are a great number of salt lakes. Some of these lakes are very big. The saltin a big lake will be enough for all the people in our country for as long as hundreds of years.

    Mr. Smith works in a factory. There he drives a 1. He's tired all the time. When he comes back, he's always busy and doesn't want to do any housework. His wife is a doctor and likes to keep all the things clean.2she has to do all at home. She usually goes to work from Monday to Friday and has to do all on weekends. All her friends know about it and sometimes they come to help her.

    It's Saturday today. Mrs Smith tells her husband to help her do some housework, but he says he has something to do and goes out early in the morning. He3a lot of dirty clothes everywhere at home. Mrs Smith doesn't go to work but she doesn't feel well. So she doesn't want to do any housework. She wants to have a rest. After breakfast, Jone, one of her friends, comes to see her when she is4.

    The girl finds the rooms are dirty and she asks, “Don't you clean your rooms today, Mrs Smith?” “No, I don't.” says the doctor. “Why don't you wear your glasses?” “Then I will think the rooms are still 5.”

    One year ago, I worked at a traditional Chinese medicine store. Business was not bad. Every day we mixed medicinal herbs(中药) for patients, so the store was always f of a strong herbal smell.

    After I had worked there for a time, a boy of 13 or 14 started coming and sitting on the stairs outside the store for a while every day. It seemed sto me. “Do you like the herbal smell?” I asked him one day.

    “I gup with this kind of smell ”he said. He told me that his mother took herbal medicine for years, so he could mix herbs for his mother when he was very young. He mixed the herbs with deep love, and hoped his mother would get bas soon as possible.

    “Is your mother well now? I asked.

    He shook his head. “My mother passed away three years a.”Looking up into the sky, he went on:

    “When I first passed by here and smelled the herbs, I thought of my mother. It is comforting to remember those days when she was alive. So I come here every day to sit for a moment. When I sit around this smell, I feel as if my mother is s alive and is waiting for her medicine in her room.”

    One day, as two little boys were walking along the road, they overlook a woman carrying a large basket of apples.

    The boys thought the woman looked very pale and tired; so they said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we will carry your basket.”

    “Thank you,” replied the woman, “you are very kind: you see I am weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was a widow（寡妇），and had a lame（瘸腿的）son to support.

    She lived in a cottage three miles away, and was now going to market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden. She wanted the money to pay her rent.

    “We are going to the same way you are,” said the boys. ''Let us have the basket.” and they took hold of it, one on each side, and trudged along with merry hearts.

    The poor widow looked glad, and said that she hoped their mother would not be angry with them. “Oh, no,” they replied, “Our mother has taught us to be kind to everybody, and to be useful in any way that we can.”

    She then offered to give them a few of the ripest （熟透了的）apples for their trouble. “No, thank you,” said they, “we do not want any pay for what we have done.”

    When the widow got home, she told her lame son what had happened on the road, and they were both made happier that day by the kindness of the two boys.

    The other day, I saw a little girl stop and pick up a piece of orange peel, which she threw into the gutter（沟）“I wish the boys would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk（人行道），”she said. “Someone may tread upon it, and fall.”

    “That is right, my dear,” I said. “It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you have a thoughtful（考虑周密的）mind and a feeling（富有同情心的）heart.”

    Perhaps some may say that these are little things. So they are: but we _________________________
