A young boy was playing with a ball in the street. He threw(扔)it too hard and it broke(打破)the window of a house and fell(掉)inside. A woman came to the window and shouted(大喊) at the boy. The boy was afraid and ran away. But he still wanted his ball back. A few minutes(分钟)later. The boy came back and knocked(敲)at the door and said, "My father is going to come and repair(修理)your window soon."

    After a while, a man came to the door with tools(工具)in his hand, so the woman let the boy take his ball away.

    When the man finish repairing the window, he said to the woman, "Please pay ten dollars."

    "But aren't you the father of the boy?" the woman asked, looking surprised(惊奇). "No," he answered, looking more surprised, "Aren't you his mother?"

It's 5 o'clock. SeanMurphy is on his way home from work. He is tired and the bus is full, but whenhe thinks of seeing his lovely family at home, his heart is full of joy again.

"I want to see mywife, my children and my mother," he thinks. "But first of all I wantto sit on the sofa. I want to relax and read a good book."

Finally Mr. Murphy isat home. He is very tired now but he is happy. He says hello to his family.Then he sits down on the sofa, stretches(伸展)hislegs and lifts up his book.

"Now I canrelax," he thinks and smiles. But Mr. Murphy is not alone in the room. Hismother is playing the guitar and his wife is playing the piano. His two youngerchildren are fighting and his two older children are arguing about thetelevision. And the pots and pans are bubbling on the cooker(炊具).

It's the same everyday. Poor Murphy is very unhappy. He talks to his friend about his problem at abus stop.

Mr. Murphy's friendlistens to him carefully. Then he says: "Go and see Linda McCormack! Sheis a very clever woman. She knows the answer to everything."

Mr. Murphy thinks itworth(值得)a try. The next day, whenhe gets home, he doesn't go into the house as usual. He goes to the garage(车库)and gets on his bike.

Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat (汗) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep people from running in the open air.

However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower.

John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary's University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it's much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heat rates.

When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don't let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.

It is the 31st year that Zhang Yufei has worked and lived in Faxing Temple. Changzhi，Shanxi province. 

The 52﹣year﹣old man {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the cultural relics （遗产） in the temple very well. "These cultural relics are part of my life and I want {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the culture，art and stories behind them to a wider public，"Zhang says. 

After graduating from junior middle school，Zhang took several part﹣time{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The turning point was in 1991 when Chongqing and Faxing temples wanted some guards. Zhang became one of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . "There was no water and electricity in the temple and in winter it was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} cold，"Zhang says. 

Later he became a guide at Faxing Temple. In 1998，he met Shi Yanchun at Faxing Temple. Shi is an expert and helped to rebuild {#blank#}6{#/blank#} than 1，000 cultural artifacts. "That was when I started learning professional knowledge about painted clay statues（雕像）. We talked about the art form at night，"Zhang says. Since then，he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} reading books on the topic. He has also taken every chance to communicate with experts. 

One day，he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a camera as a gift by an expert. With it，Zhang started to record the painted clay statues in the temples in Shanxi. In 2011，his first book introducing the art form came out. He also wrote over 100 articles telling the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} stories about Shanxi's cultural relics online. Zhang hopes that more people can take part in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of cultural relics. In this way，they can truly keep alive. 

Hi! My name is John. I'm eleven years old. I'm in Grade Seven. Our classes start at 8 : 00 in the morning and finish at 3 : 30 in the afternoon. My favourite subject is labour because I can learn a lot from it. I don't like geography. I think it's boring. I'm very busy every day. Here is my schedule (课程表). Please have a look.
