Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends．They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain．So they can help each other．But neither of them likes to use his head．They're both poor though they work hard．Most villagers have built new houses，but they still live in the low and broken houses．They never find out why．

    Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife．In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive．He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back．They decided to carry some apples to the city．They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1，000kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor．Bad luck!A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived．A few days later they had to sell them at a low price （价格）．They felt unhappy and returned to their village．

    "I can't understand why we sustained （蒙受） losses in business while others always profit （盈利）"Uncle Li asked one day．

    "The tractor was too small"Uncle Wang said without thinking．"We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"

    "I agree!"said Uncle Li．"How foolish （傻的） we were!"

    An old man was fishing in the bank of a river. A girl came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the girl was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the girl shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked "Why don't you want the fish?"

    The girl replied, "I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands.”

    The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"

    "It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."

    I think you will certainly say that the girl is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.

    Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the girl, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

Are you looking forward to meeting LinaBell?

Hello! My name is Zhao Na. I'm nine years old. I am in Rizhao, Shandong. My first name is Na and my last name is Zhao. My English name is Julia. I like green. I have a good friend. She is English, but now she is in China. Her name is Helen Smith. Helen is her first name and Smith is her last name. Her Chinese name is Wang Min. She is nine too. Her favourite colour is red. Helen and I are in the same school. We study in the same class.

 Have you ever decided what you want to do when you were a little child? Sounds impossible, but I did it.

 When I was in third grade, I watched a special video. I still1 the video, because the details(细节) of the video 2 influenced me. And since then,I have known what I wanted to do with 3 life.

 As a result, I4 what I wanted to be at nine, and I made it happen. Seems easy, right? Not quite! The road was difficult. I did my studies--university, then a PhD.5 along the way I was told many things: I was too young. wasn't qualified(具备资格). I should get married and have6 . I also needed money so I asked for six grants(拨款): The first7 replies I got said no. Six months later, the last reply came. This time it was yes.8 , I could start my own research.

 Today,I'm 9 to work as an archeologist(考古学家). That makes me have a sense of pride. I study the lives of people who lived in ancient Egypt. It's an exciting 10 . The feeling of holding a piece of history is an amazing feeling. I feel rather 11 .

 For anyone thinking about his 12 , I would say: Never give up. If you want to do something, keep trying. If people say"no" to you, don't give up, and use that- - it will 13 you. At the beginning, it hurts. But the next no hurts a little less. It makes you 14 and actually helps you. Second, focus on your dreams. You don't have to follow 15 . If they say something has never been done, make it happen.
