On the first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out， we found an old woman appeared at the door. She said， "Hi， my name is Susan， I'm seventy years old." While we were1what made her take this challenge (挑战) at her age， she said with a smile， "I/m here to meet a rich husband， get2 ， have two children and travel together. "Hearing this， all of us laughed. "In fact，" she went on， " I always3of having a college education， and now I'm getting one!"

    After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good4. I often listened to this "time machine" as she shared her study with me.

    At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a5. When she was stepped up to the front， suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated (沮丧的) and said， "I'm sorry. I'm so nervous that I can't get my ready talk back ， so I have to tell you 6 I know. "In her speech she told us， "We don't stop playing as we are old， we grow old because we stop playing. The secret of staying 7 ， being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something 8every day. I think there is a great9between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I lie in bed for one full year and never do anything， I'll become seventy - one. Since anybody can grow older， my idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can't be avoided  ， growing up can be10 ， It's never too late to be all you can be possible. "

    During the four years' study， it was so easy for Susan to make friends wherever she went. In the end， the wonderful woman got a college degree.

    Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office, so he was able to drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars were parked outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry.

    He had put up a board, which said "No parking" in the garden facing the road, but nobody noticed(注意) it. People seemed to obey(遵守) only a police notice with white letters on a blue board：

    Mrs Brown suggested(建议) that he steal(偷) a police notice. He was afraid to do so. She then suggested that he make one just like a police notice. He said he was not the police and couldn't use the word "police". Several days later, Mr Brown made a blue board with white letters：

    "Oh！" Mrs Brown said, "You told me you weren't going to use the word 'police', but why do you use it now？" "Really？" he asked. "Look again. "

    She started to laugh. "You are really clever."

    Hi, I'm Dino, the family dog. I help keep people safe, especially on the roads. Take a look at my diary to see what I did last week.

    Sunday

    Some children are really too young to take care of themselves. Our neighbor's boy ran in front of a car to get his ball. The car almost hit him. I saved him though. Remember, always look and listen.

    Tuesday

    People can get very angry when driving, usually for silly reasons. One driver started shouting at Mum today when she stopped to let some children cross the road. I soon made the driver stop.

    Wednesday

    One thing makes me really mad. Grrrrrr. People walk on a dangerous road when they can walk on the safe pavement (人行道). I saw two girls doing that today but I soon made them change their minds.

    Saturday

    Today Mum took me for a walk. One car was parked in a very dangerous place. It was right on the corner of the street. Don't worry though. I left him a message.

    Mr. King lives in a city. He has some shops and makes a lot of money. His son, Mike, studies at a middle school. The boy likes everything but he doesn't like studying. He doesn't listen to his teachers in class and he never finishes his homework on time. He always plays football when he has any free time. He can never pass(通过) the exams.

    Mr. King is busy with his trade that he has little time to stay at home. He never cares about his son's studies, so he doesn't know how he is doing.

    One day Miss Read, Mike's teacher, calls Mr. King. On the telephone she tells him all about the boy's studies. She wants him to try to help his son at home. When the man hears this, he doesn't feel very happy.

    In the afternoon, when his son comes back from school, Mr. King gives him a good telling-off(责罚), but soon feels sorry for it when he sees Mike crying in the bedroom. The next morning, Before Mike goes to school, he says to him, "Study hard and I'll buy you a car when you pass the exam next year."

    Another term is over. Mike doesn't pass the exam once more. Mr. King looks at the grades on the school report for a few minutes. Then he asks his son," You don't pass the exam again, Mike. What did you do at school this term?" "I learned how to drive a car, dad" answers the boy.
