“Jamila, I just found one dollar sitting on the coffee table,” said Mrs. Johnson. “Is that your money?”

    Jamila looked up fromthe book she was reading. “Oops, it's mine. I emptied my jacket pockets before Ileft for basketball practice yesterday. I was running late, so I didn't have time to take it up to my room.”Jamila placed it quickly in the back of her book and went back to reading.

  “Jamila, you just put that money into the back of your book. I'm quite sure that you're not going to be able to find it when you need it.” her mother said. “You see, some of your money is in the pencil case on your desk. Some is in the glove hanging behind the door. I think you might also have a few dollars in your bag. You are such a careless girl.”

   “Mom. I'm too busy to take care of my money.”

     Mrs. Johnson smiled,“It looks like it's time for you to get your own bank account (账户).”

   “My own bank account?Is it necessary? Kids know little about it."Jamila replied.

    The next day, Mrs.Johnson took Jamila to a bank and opened an account for her. The banking mangerexplained how the money in the account would increase. “The longer the money staysin the account, the more it will earn(获利),” he added.

     Jamila was surprisedto learn that she could earn money just by keeping her money in a bank account.“I wish I had done this a long time ago.”

    Some children are flying kites near the river. They are very high and Peter can see them in the classroom. His mother's friend Mrs White came to see his mother this morning and brought a kite to him. She gave it to him after lunch. It looks like a bird. He wanted to fly it but his mother didn't let him do so.

    "It's time to go to school," said his mother, "or you will be late. You can fly it after school."

    The boy was sad, but he said goodbye to Mrs White and went to school. Now he's in the classroom but he's looking out of the window. He doesn't listen to Miss Black. She writes something on the blackboard and then turns to the class and finds this.

    "Name nine things with milk in them, Peter," she says.

    The boy doesn't hear her and still sits there. A boy behind him taps his back and he knows it. He stands up and Miss Black asks him the question again. He thinks for a while and then says, \ madam. Tea, coffee, cake and... er.. six cows."

Rick and Henry are good friends. They play together every day. 

One night, Rick calls Henry, "Tomorrow will be a fine day. Shall we go out to play football? ""Henry likes football, so he says, "OK. Let's meet at 2: 30 pm. "

The next day, Rick comes to Henry's home on time. But Henry is lying on his bed and playing mobile games. He says to Rick," ▲ "

"OK, "says Rick. He waits for about one hour, but Henry still doesn't come out. At this time, Henry says, "I don't want to go out now. Why don't you go alone? "

Hearing this, Rick goes away angrily(生气地). He says to himself, "I'm not going to play with him any more! "

In the evening, Henry's mother has a talk with him. "You can't break your words like this, or you will have no friends. "Henry feels worried. He says, "I'm wrong. "Then he calls Rick and says sorry to him. And he goes to Rick's home early the next morning!
