My problems started after I went to a boarding(寄宿)school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends-but only friend. I never guessed my friendship with boys would become a problem.

    Then, two months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long to get attention(注意)from them. A few months after that, the class teacher James asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well at school. I came first in the English and Math exams. A week later, the list(名单)came out and it didn't include me. James came to me and said, "Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe you're a little distant(远的)from the girls in our class. They don't know much about you, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get on well with everyone and I think you'll make it next time. "

    Tony is a seven-year-old boy. He has big eyes, a small nose and a small mouth. Tony is not a quiet boy and he likes climbing.

    He tries to climb up the fridge, but falls down(跌落). His mother sees him and says, "Be careful(小心)!Don't climb!" He tries to climb up the bookshelf, but falls down again. His father sees him and says, "Be careful! Don't climb!"

    But Tony doesn't listen. This day, he decides to climb the big tree in front of his house. This time, he is very careful. At last, he gets to the top of the tree.

    Tony's mother comes out and sees him. She asks Tony to get down from the tree, but Tony refuses. So his mother tries to climb the tree to get Tony down. But she can't climb the tree. Tony's father comes out and tries to climb the tree. But he falls down and lands on his head.

    Then Tony climbs down. He looks at his parents and says, "Be careful! Don't climb!"

Skiing(滑雪） is one of the most popular sports in the world especially in Norway (挪威). It is the best way to have fun in winter. Almost everyone can ski. Children learn to ski after they learn to walk. Long long ago in Norway, there were no buses, trains or cars. People had to find a way to walk over the deep snow. Skis were the right answer!

Although they love winter, the people of Norway are also happy to see summer come. They enjoy the outdoor activities at any time of the year. In summer they swim and sunbathe near the beach. 

Some people go cycling and go mountain climbing. Sail-boating is also very popular during the warm sunny summer months. 

The Norwegians (挪威人), like people everywhere, find many indoor ways to have a good time. During the long winter they also enjoy movies. They like to read books from the libraries in all seasons. Family life is very important to the people of Norway. 

Mr. Black is the best doctor in a hospital. He is quite busy at work during the day. So he1 have a good rest at home. He often goes to bed2 after supper. Mr. Black lives in an apartment. 

3 keep quiet except Jeff. The young man, who moved there months ago,4 downstairs. He likes music and5 a piano last month. He always plays it for hours6 . Mr. Black7 get to sleep.

Although Mr. Black tells Jeff about it8 , the young man forgets it soon.

One day, Jeff was ill. He had to go to the hospital and Mr. Black was just his doctor . " If you stop9 the piano at night, you'll be all right10 !" When the young man left, a nurse asked, "Is playing the piano really bad for his health , Mr. Black?" "No," said Mr. Black, "But it is bad for mine!"

Jenny was a nurse in a children's hospital. One evening there was a big dance in the hospital, Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course some had to look after the children. Jenny was not among the fortunate (幸运的) ones who were free to go to the dance. She enjoyed dancing very much, so when she had to start working that evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself. She went to each sick child one by one and said good night. She came to a little boy called Tommy in the end. Tommy was only 11 years old, but he already talked like an adult. Poor Tommy had a very serious illness, and now he could hardly move any part of his body except his hands. But he was happy and thought about others instead of himself all the time. 

When Jenny came up to his bed, he said, "I'm sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer, you'll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it's pretty fresh." "I'd get up and dance with you if I could," he added. 

Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Jenny.
