The first friend gave him the advice that the word “hatter” wasn't needed. So John crossed out the word “HATTER” . Then he came to another friend for advice. This friend said that it was not polite to say “for ready money”. So he crossed out “for ready money”. The sign now said:

    One day a friend was passing his shop. He saw this sign and said that when a man bought a hat, he didn't care who made it. So John crossed out that word, too.
    But when another friend saw “ John Brown Sells Hats”, he said , “ Of course you sell hats. No one thinks you give them away for free.” So, at last the sign read:

   Mrs Wilson, the middle-aged wife of a rich businessman, invited some of herfriends to lunch. She was very anxious to try a new way of cooking a fish dish,and she was very pleased with herself when the dish was ready. As the dish was very1, she put it near the open window to cool it for a few minutes.2,five minutes later, when she came back for it, she was frightened to find her neighbour'scat, Chester, at the dish. Luckily she was3to stop the cat from eatingthe fish. That afternoon was a great success and everyone enjoyed the dish verymuch.

   At the end of the afternoon, while she was4,Mrs Wilson felt tired but happy. She was in an armchair just near the window, whenthrough the window she was surprised to see the neighbour's cat5inthe garden. Why, the fish dish must be poisonous (有毒的). What would happento her friends? She at once phoned the family doctor for advice. The doctor toldher to telephone each of the visitors to meet him at the hospital as soon as possible.Finally, the danger was6. Once again Mrs Wilson was alone in herarmchair in the living room, still tired but7happy.Just then, the phone rang. It was her neighbour. "Oh, Millie, her neighbourcried, "Chester is dead. She was killed by someone in the car and thrown inyour garden. "

Fonzie is a 3-metre-long dolphin (海豚). Joe was 3 years old when their story began. After Joe was born, he had a problem with heart and doctors operated (动手术) on him. When he was 3, he got another operation. However, this operation didn't go well—he couldn't move the left side of his body. The doctors didn't think he could get better. Deena, Joe's mother, took him to different places for therapy (治疗), but it wasn't successful. 

Joe liked staying in the water and Deena thought swimming could help him. Then one day Deena took Joe to a special place. There, people could swim with dolphins. Joe met Fonzie for the first time and their story really started. Soon, Joe wanted to see Fonzie every day. Joe loved playing with him and feeding him. Joe's mother told him always to feed Fonzie with his left hand, so Joe had to practice his left side more and more. Slowly, he got better and better. Joe always put a smile on his face from then on. Deena saw that the little dolphin helped her son a lot. So, she and her family worked together and built Dolphin Care for people with health problems. 

Joe once said Fonzie was a great friend to him. They shared a lot of good times together. After Fonzie died (死亡) , Joe was really sad and missed him very much. Joe will never forget the good relationship they had.

In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. It's not a scene from a movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)—bamboo drifting (独竹漂).

Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to lean it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to become stronger through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and the summer heat. "It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing," recalled Yang. It took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to learn more bamboo drifting skills,Yang had to practise so many difficult movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径). Through years of hard training,Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her "best friend".

At one point, encouraged by her grandmother,Yang began to combine (结合) dance with bamboo drifting. "My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different." the young woman said. Yang's hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skills. "I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art," said Yang.

The most positive(乐观的) person I have ever seen is my dad! He is so positive that I do not1 hearing a single word from him which is related(相关的) to hopelessness!

Unlike most moms and dads, my dad never says things that make me feel2 He is always there to give me encouragement and help. 3 I do wrong things, he always tells me what's right in a positive way. For example, if I am in4 he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the 5 that can help me with the problems I'm facing. After that, we have a6 together. 

Even though I'm not always a good kid, my dad7 shouts or gets angry with me. I know that he's8 a day—a day when I grow up and understand things in my life. 

I can see the reason that he is so positive is because he believes in9 . And he believes that whatever10 , it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!
