Even though I just had lunch not long ago, I was felling hungry again. I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.

    I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it. “It's mine! I was the only one who found it!” I shouted. “You are my elder brother, you should give it to me!” said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.

    Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into a yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!

    To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily, within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.

    After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized      . If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learnt a good lesson.

    Mr Gao lives in a town. When he was twenty-five, his son was born. He called him Gao Ling. The little boy is very clever and his parents love him very much.

    It's September 1 today. A new school year begins. Gao Ling is happy and wears his most beautiful clothes. He's going to school with his new bag.

    "Let me take you to school today, dear," says Mrs Gao.

    "Thank you, Mum," says the boy. "The school is not far from here. I can walk there myself."

    At school a teacher meets the little boy and asks, "What's your name, my little friend?"

    "Gao Ling, sir," answers the boy.

    "How old are you?"

    "Six, sir."

    "What's your father's name?"

    "Gao Dalin, sir."

    "How old is he?"

    "He's six too, sir."

    "Oh," he says in surprise. "Is he as old as you?"

    "Yes, sir." says the boy. "He became a father at the time when I was born."

    Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.

    The traveler, who was born with a congenital bone disease (先天性骨病),lost her right leg at the age of four. Although she had a hard time at first, she now thinks that nothing can stop her living her best life.

    To spread that message, Gallagher shares photos of her travels around the world online, and writes her location across her artificial leg (假肢)before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across Europe, all with the well—known locations written on her artificial leg.

    "I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design (设计)on it. One day I had a sudden idea to get a chalkboard," Gallagher said, "My mum and grandmother didn't like the idea, but my friends liked it and told me to go for it, so I did."

    Gallagher said people often stared when she was writing on her leg, but once she shared the photos, she received only positive feedback (正面的反馈). "My leg hasn't stopped me doing anything I've wanted to do, and I've been able to keep up with my peers (同龄人)and lead a pretty great life."

    Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if you run into difficulties, get creative with it because if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.

    Roger is new in town, and it has been hard to make friends. The kids at school are nice, but Roger is shy. His birthday is coming up soon. He is planning a big party. It will be a lot of fun. There will be cake, and ice cream, and a treasure hunt(寻宝游戏). But what if none of the other kids want to come?

    One week before his party, Roger and his dad go to their favorite restaurant. Benny's Pizza Parlor makes the best pizza in town. Roger orders a large pizza, with four kinds of cheese and extra pepperoni (意大利香肠). He loves every bite. When he is finished, Roger and his dad go to the kitchen to talk to Benny.

"How was the pizza?" Benny asks.

    "It was great!" says Roger.

    "Thank you!" says Benny.

    Suddenly, Roger gets a great idea. "Benny," he says. "Will you cook pizza for my birthday party?"

    "Hold on, Roger," says Roger's dad. "Benny is very busy. He might not have time to make pizza for your party." "But everyone loves his pizza!" says Roger. "If we have it, I'll be the most popular boy in school."

    "I know what to do," says Benny. "I won't cook pizza for your party. Instead, I'll show you how to make it yourself!" That week, Roger goes to Benny's Pizza Parlor every day after school. Benny shows him how to make pizza and he tries his best.

    Roger tells the kids at school that his party will have pizza from Benny's. Everyone is excited. Everyone loves Benny's pizza. But when they come to his house, Benny isn't there. Instead, they see Roger, wearing an apron(围裙) and a chef's hat. The kids don't believe that Roger knows how to make pizza. However, he's ready to prove them wrong. Roger makes them his favorite pizza, with four kinds of cheese, and extra pepperoni. Everyone says the pizza tastes just like Benny's. It might even be just a little bit better.
