Forgetful Nick

    After school on Friday, when Nick got home, he saw Grandpa's car! Nick smiled and walked quickly up the front sidewalk.

He reached the door and said hello to Grandpa. Then Mom called from the kitchen. "Put away your schoolbag first."

Nick's smile vanished(消失). "Oh, no," he said, "I forgot to bring my schoolbag home."

Mom was angry. "Nick, you forgot your schoolbag again! You need to be more careful!"

Grandpa turned to Nick and winked(眨眼), "I'm afraid you inherited(遗传) your forgetfulness from me, Nick. Your grandma used to call me 'Forgetful Jones'."

    Grandpa's words made Nick feel a little better. But he still felt mad at himself.

After dinner, Grandpa suggested going for a walk. As they walked around the corner, Grandpa said, "I'll tell you a little secret, Nick. We're the same. We like to do things, make things and have fun! That's why we sometimes forget things."

"But Grandpa, how did you stop forgetting? How can I stop forgetting?" Nick asked.

"Well," said Grandpa, "I know a few tricks(窍门). I use them to help me remember important things. For example, it's important to turn off my car lights when I park the car. So every time I get in the car, I put my notebook in my lap(大腿)."

"I saw it!" said Nick. "I always wondered why you did that!"

"Now you know my secret," said Grandpa, "It's a simple little trick, but it works. Why don't we put our heads together and come up with a schoolbag-remembering trick?"

    One day, Tom is swimming in a river. He doesn't swim well and will be drown(淹死). He calls out loud for help. A man is just passing by. He doesn't help the boy, but stands by and says to him. “It is dangerous to swim in the river.” “Oh, yes sir,” cries the boy, “ Please save me and scold (责备)me later.”

    Counsel without help is useless.

    If you want to study an interesting subject this summer, and improve your English at the same time, Highbury College is offering three very good courses. The first one is English Literature, and it mainly talks about writers in the 1900s. The second one is British Culture, and teachers will take students to some museums. The third one is Modem Architecture, and students can visit some of the city's most famous buildings.

    All the courses begin on 14 June and end on 12 July. Classes are from 9: 00 a. m. to 3: 30 p. m., so you have enough time for other activities in the long summer evenings. Fridays are free for you to have a rest because there are lessons on Saturdays and Sundays too.

    The price of each course is￡25. The price includes your accommodations (住宿) at the college, all books, all meals and full use of the library. But if you need to take the school bus, you need to buy tickets yourself.

    All the courses are for beginners, so don't worry if you know little about these courses. Come to join us, and I'm sure you will have an enjoyable summer!

    A 16-year-old Australian girl drove her bright pink ship out of Sydney Harbor on Sunday to begin her beautiful travel. She wanted to become the youngest person to sail solo（单人）around the world.

    After saying goodbye to her parents beside the sea, Jessica sailed her 10-meter ship out of Sydney harbor, smiling to well-wishers.

    Her plan is to make a 38-thousand-kilometer journey. Although people are not sure someone so young could make it, the girl and her parents insisted she was an experienced and good sailor.

    On the eve of her traveling, she said she was fully prepared.

    Jessica said, "I suppose it's a big, scary（恐怖的）, and possibly risky（冒险的）thing to do, but yes, there's plenty of different risks, but it can't beat me." Jessica's trip is to last about eight months.

    In August, a 17-year-old British boy, Mike, wanted to be the youngest solo round-the-world sailor. He made a 45-thousand-kilometer trip in nine months.

    Home garages (车库)usually have space for a car and maybe things like tools and bicycles. But at Jaecee Rae Carr's home in Tennessee, USA, her parents, garage is filled with blankets and towels.

    After a visit to the local animal shelter (收容所), Jeacee decided to do something to help make the animals more comfortable.

    "I started asking friends, family and neighbors to donate blankets and towels to our local animal shelters," said Jaecee. "I didn't expect people to give so much! We have donated all of them to 20 shelters in 7states."

    Still, Jaecee Rae wanted to do more for shelter animals. So she started pet food donation. "Family, friends, teachers and people in my community donated about 2,700 pounds of dog and cat food," said Jaecee.

    In 2013, Jaecee was praised on different situation because of her hard work. After a year she won the Tennessee Governor's Volunteer Stars Award. She was the youngest person to win the prize and that made her so proud.

    Jaecee didn't stop trying to do more. "In March 2019, my family and people in the community donated things to my Humane Yard Sale. "Our garage was full! "said Jaecee, didn't realize so many things to help. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. We sold so many things and raised over $1,000 from the yard sale!"

    What's next for the young volunteer to do for animals? Maybe a look at her garage will tell the tale!
