Mick Polly has a toy store. He lives with his daughter Carolina in Kentucky, US. People also call him the Bike Man because over the past few years, Mick has built hundreds of bikes for needy kids.

    One day in 2012, a 13-year-old boy with a broken (坏的) bike walked by Mick' s house. "I was working in my garage (车库), and he asked if I could repair (修理) it," said Mick.

    The boy's bike had broken wheels (车轮). Mick posted (发布) a picture on Facebook, asking his friends if they had the parts he needed. One friend saw the picture and gave away two used bikes. Mick took parts from each to build new wheels for the boy.

    Soon after, Mick repaired a bike for the boy's brother and one for his sister. During the year, he repaired lots of bikes for kids whose parents didn't have enough money for new ones.

    "People are throwing away (扔掉) bikes every day," said Mick.

    Mick puts the bikes and bike parts in his garage. "I take off the good wheels and use them," he said.

    Up to now, Mick has repaired hundreds of bikes and given away almost 700 newly repaired bikes. They're free, but the kids must agree to try their best to study in school.

    Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids off the sofa (沙发)" When I was growing up we all rode our bikes" he said' Hopefully these kids can get some exercise."

    Hans Christian Andersen was born in Denmark in 1805. He lived with his parents in a town called Odense. They were a very poor family and they couldn't afford to send Hans Christian to school.

    As a little boy, Hans Christian enjoyed making up fairy tales(童话) and puppet(木偶) shows. When he was only eleven years old, his father died and he had to go out to work to make money to help his mother.

    Three years later, Hans Christian left home and went to the city of Copenhagen to be famous and rich. To begin with he didn't do very well there, but at last he was able to go back to school and then on to university to continue his education.

    He wrote fairy tales and stories and soon became famous. At first he wrote the stories that he had heard when he was a child and then began to make up new tales. During his seventy-one year life. Hans Christian wrote over three hundred stories.

    Many of his stories are still enjoyed by children today. Among his best-known stories are: the Emperor's New Clothes, the Ugly Duckling, the Snow Queen, the Princess and the Pea, and the little Mermaid.

    When I was five years old, I took a boat out on the river and went fishing by myself. I really wanted to catch a fish! But they were not biting. I stayed in my boat for three days, waiting. A few times, I thought I felt a fish at the end of the line. The first time I pulled in my catch, it was not a fish; it was an old bag. The second time, it was a shoe. Finally, at the end of the third day, I felt a strong pull at the end of the line. The pull was so strong that my boat raced around and around. I needed all my power just to hold onto the fishing rod. I pulled, and I pulled and I caught the biggest fish that ever swam on the earth! It was heavier than everyone in this room put together! Then something terrible happened! After I pulled the huge fish into my boat, I saw that the boat was going under water! Water was coming into the boat from all sides! I was not a very good swimmer, so I was scared.

    Although it was the hardest choice I ever made, I had to let the fish go. I pushed it back over the side of the boat, and we waved good-bye to each other as it swam away.

    It is evening，a cock（公鸡）is in a tall tree. A fox（狐狸）finds(发现) him.

He says to the cock, "Hello, Mr. Cock. I have something to tell you."

    The cock says, "Oh? What's it? "

    The fox says "All the animals are good friends now. Let's be friends, too. Would you like to have dinner with me?" "OK!" says the cock, "I am very happy." Then he says to the fox, "Look! There‘s something over there! "

    "What do you see?" asks the fox.

    "Oh, I see some animals over there. They're coming."

    "What are they?"

    "Oh, they are dogs."

    "Ah? Dogs! I have to go home now. Goodbye."

    "Wait a minute, Mr. Fox," says the cock. "Don't go home. The dogs are very kind, and they are our friends now." The fox says, "Yes, But they don't know that."

    "I see," says the cock. He smiles and goes to sleep in the tree.
