   A man and a woman had a son many years after they married. They had a happy family and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was four years old, an accident happened. One night the father was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very busy in the kitchen, and she forgot about it.
   Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn't find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn't know how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news, the father hurried to the police station. When he saw his wife, he didn't blame(责备) her. Instead he said, “I love you, darling!”
   “If I had picked him up or found this earlier, this would not have happened,” the father said to himself. He thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her was just understanding. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, they finally found their lost son. From then on, they became closer than before.
   When something bad happens, people always spend lots of time blaming others instead of giving them support. Try to learn to forgive(原谅), and then you will find the world is much more wonderful.

   When Ben Franklin was only a boy，he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What？”and “How？” and “Why？”
   They couldn't always tell him what he wanted to know．
   When they couldn't tell him，Ben tried to find out for himself．
   Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say，“That Ben Franklin！He's always finding out something new！”
   Ben lived close to the water．He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water．
   One day Ben said to himself，“Why can't the wind help me float（漂浮）across the water？And I'm going to try.” Ben got his big kite．He took hold of the kite string（线）and ran with it．The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water．
The wind blew the kite high into the air．Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side，and he had not worked at all ．
   One boy shouted，“Look at Ben floating across the water！His kite takes him to the other side without any work！”“Yes,” said another．“He's always finding new ways to do things.”

It is nice to hike with kids, but you must know something about hiking if you want to take a happy, relaxing trip.

Start early, know what to do in a heavy rain and carry sunglasses. Take snacks, toilet paper and a bag with you. Take a whistle(口哨) for kids. You may use it if children run away.

Find a partner. Kids are naturally competitive, and you can use this to your hike. They will try to do better than each other when they go hiking. They also will keep each other interested in something new.

Do something easy. It's good to play easy games. You can say "Does anybody see anything red that matches my shirt?" Kids will be easy and happy to answer this kind of questions.

If you aren't excited, they won't be either. When your kids find something they are interested in, you must show your interest in it, too.

A man came out of the airport. A lot of taxis were there. He asked the name of every taxi-driver. Then he took the 3rd one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. "How much does it cost for the whole day?" the man asked. "One hundred dollars," said the taxi-driver. This was very expensive, but the man said it was OK.

The driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening, they went back to the hotel. The man gave the driver 100 dollars and said, "What about tomorrow?" The taxi-driver looked at the man and said, "Tomorrow? It's another 100 dollars." But the man said, "That's OK! See you tomorrow." The driver was very pleased.

The next day the driver took the man everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again. And in the evening they went back to the hotel. The man gave the driver 100 dollars again and was going home tomorrow. The driver was unhappy because he liked the man and above all, 100 dollars a day was a lot of money. "So you're going home. Where do you come from?" he asked. "I come from New York." "New York!" said the driver. "I have a sister in New York. Her name is Lucy. Do you know her?" "Of course I know her. She gave me 200 dollars for you!"

Dear Frank,

Thank you for your postcard. I'm very glad you are having a good trip now. Ottawa is very beautiful in May. I hope I will have a chance to go there one day.

Our summer holiday will start next month. I enjoy my summer holiday, although(虽然)it's hot at that time in America. During the summer holiday, I can swim in the sea and go fishing. It's so cool. And I am going to our hometown near Chicago with my sister Linda, and my parents agree(同意). Our uncle lives there, so Linda and I can stay with him.

We are not going to take a plane. We are going there by train. I am going to fish there. And Linda likes painting. She is going to do some painting there. I'm sure we'll have a good time.

Sincerely,

Jack
