I was driving after school on Monday from Dublin to Drogheda and on my way home, I saw a wallet lying on the roadside. I thought the wallet must belong to the driver in front of me, because he had smoked there. I sounded the horn twice but he didn't hear. So I stopped and picked up the wallet. I checked the wallet to see if I could get any phone number to call. I found and called two numbers but I was told they were wrong numbers.

    Later, I found a driving license and decided to drive to his house in Termonfeckin according to the address on the license. It is a 30-minute drive away from Drogheda. When I got to his house, I saw his wife and the first thing she asked was if I had found a wallet. I started smiling and said yes. The lady was really happy and called her husband. He ran to us at the gate and welcomed me to their house. After giving the wallet to him, he checked to see whether everything was inside. They offered me 20 dollars for gasoline(汽油) but I refused.

If you want to be a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly and others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions(说明书) carefully. The slow reader may be a good reader. But he may spend too much time reading a story for fun. So the reader who reads everything quickly or the one who reads everything slowly isn't really a good reader. Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading can help you to know whether(是否)you need to read quickly or slowly. Some things should be read slowly. You must read these things slowly all the time to understand and remember everything important. Examples(例子)are instructions for making or doing something. Also, math books, science and even some storybooks are full of important information. However, some things should be read quickly. Examples are picture-books for enjoyment, letters from friends , and some quick news from newspapers.

In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast. You will need to read some pages quickly and then slow down and do more carefully reading when you come to important ideas. So, knowing when to change your reading speed is one important symbol of being a good reader.

Jane is from America. She is in China with her parents. Now she is writing an e- mail to her1 back home.

The first marathon(马拉松) of the modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. Now marathon is a popular sport across China. Teenagers also take part in marathons actively.

Xu Qian is a 15-year-old boy from Duqian, Jiangsu. He loves running very much. He took first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon on April 2, 2023. To get ready for the race, Xu had to train for months. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometres each week ahead of the run. "The 800- meter run at school is more about speed(速度),but marathon tests a runner's endurance and psychological quality(心理素质)," he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself to fight on.

Of course, kindness from the people is also important in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometre Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course(跑道)really encouraged her. "When things were hard, they cheered me on. The simple words ‘keep it up' meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end," Li said.
