One day, a poor boy who was selling things from door to door found that he only has a cent(美分) left. He was so hungry that he decided to ask for a meal at the nex t house.

     However, he just asked for a glass of water when a beautiful young woman opened the door. She though he looked hungry, so she brought him a lager glass milk. He drank in slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe (欠) you”

“You don't owe me anything.” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.”

     Years later the women needed an operation(手术). The local doctors could do nothing. The finally sent her to a big city. Dr. Milton, who was famous, was called in for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she cam form, he went to see her. He recognized  (认出) her at one. At the same time, he made his decision to try his best to save her life.

After hard work, the operation was successful. Dr. Milton asked the nurse to pass the final bill to him. He wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the patient's room. She was afraid to open it because she thought it would cost all her money. To her surprise, she saw there words written by Dr. Milton: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.”

     Tears ran out of her eyes as she said silently, “Thank you. Love has spread through human hears and hands.”

    Mr. Brown lives on Green Street now. He wants to send a postcard(寄明信片) to his pen friend in Toronto, but he doesn't know where the post office is. “ where is the post office？” he asks his new neighbor Joe. “I want to send a postcard to Toronto.” “The post office is quite far from here，” answers Joe. “If you only want to post some letters(信件) or postcards, you needn't go to the post office. You can put them into a mailbox（信箱）down the street.”

    On Thursday a new boy came into the classroom. He didn't have any uniform on. Just trousers, a jacket and a shirt. Tom could see that the boy wasn't quite comfortable. He had a plastic (塑料的) bag with exercise books, pens, pencils, rulers and erasers in it. The boy stood at the blackboard. Mrs. Brown talked to the boy, and then she said, “Boys and girls, this is Peter. He is your new classmate. Peter is your age. I hope you'll get on well with each other. Peter will spend a lot of time together with you.”Mrs Brown asked Peter to sit next to Tom at the desk near the window.

    The students had math after that and Tom could see that Peter was not bad at it. He counted (数数) well. It was not difficult for him at all. Then Mrs. Brown said,” It is half past twelve. It's time to have lunch. “Peter joined Tom and went to wash his hands. Then the boys sat down on the floor and started to open their lunch bags. Tom opened his bag and put his hand in it. He took out an old brown apple, some old cheese and some fish from dinner.“Oh, no!” cried Tom.” This is rubbish. I have the wrong bag. I took the rubbish bag and left my lunch bag at home. I have only rubbish for lunch today.” The other children laughed and laughed. Then Peter said,” I have two eggs. Why don't you have one? I don't need two. And would you like some bread?” Tom smiled,” Thanks. It's very kind of you.”

    Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.

    This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.

    The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rain forest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”

    The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn't have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.

    A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rain forest? The police said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.

    Larry is going to be a pilot. He wants to fly an airplane. But Larry is not a rich man. He doesn't have an airplane. He has only a chair. Larry ties 45 big balloons to his chair and then sits in the chair. The chair goes up.

    For a few minutes, everything is fine. The view from the chair is beautiful. Larry can see houses and trees below him. He is happy. He is flying!

    The chair goes up very high. Larry is afraid. “I don't want to go very high,” Larry thinks. “I want to go down a little.” With a small gun, Larry shoots 10 balloons. Then something terrible happens. Larry drops the gun, and it falls to the ground. Larry can't shoot more balloons. The chair goes up and up.

    Larry is three miles above the ground. Airplanes are flying over him. Larry has a small radio. “Help! Help!” he says into the radio. “I'm flying in a chair, and I want to come down!” People hear Larry, but they can't help him.

    Larry flies in the chair for 45 minutes. Then the balloons begin to lose air, slowly the chair comes down, and Larry is back on the ground. He is not hurt.

    A crow, having stolen a piece of cheese, held it firmly in her mouth and stood in a tree. A fox, who was very hungry, took the following ways to get the cheese for himself.

    "How handsome is the crow!" he said. "How beautiful is her shape and how fair her feather! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she might rightly be called the queen of birds!"

    This he said in a soft voice. The crow, anxious to show that her voice was equal to her other attractions, made a loud caw, and dropped the cheese.

    The fox caught it as it fell. "My good crow," said he," your voice is all right, but your brain is not good."
