    Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his fashion house.

    Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.

    When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in 2005.

Three months ago, Carlton started his new company. He called it “Design Carlton”.

At work Carlton always wears black trousers and a blue coat, but at home, or when he goes out, he wears clothes with bright colors (red, blue and yellow). He is especially crazy about new glasses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I like to look different every day,” he says.

     Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve. He dyed(给……染色) his hair red when he was 18. It is still red, and this year, for the first time, he has grown a beard. “My wife likes it, that's why” is his explanation. But his beard is black.

        On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash (垃圾) was taken out from there.

         "We did a good job," said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. "We've planned to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won't be so much trash next time."

         The trash came in all shapes, sizes and colors: bottles, bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (高尔夫球杆).  

         The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups - Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already got retired.

         That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots and raincoats. The work took place along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.

         No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favourite ice cream every day.

         Many people laughed at the boy's story. However, it was easily found that the environment there did become better.

Jack's friend Sally isn't fine these days.

One day she asks Jack for help. And she tells(告诉)Jack about her food. For breakfast. She always eats some bread. For lunch, she always has some chicken. She likes eating ice-cream and a hamburger in the evening. 

"They're not healthy for you, Sally," Jack says. "I know, but I like them," Sally says. "What about vegetables? Do you like eating carrots?" Jack asks. "No, I don't," Sally says.

"Sally, don't eat ice-cream. You must eat some vegetables and fruit. They are healthy food," Jack says. "I think you're right," Sally says.

In the next days, Sally always eats vegetables and fruit. And she is well now.

Allan is a doctor. He is taking notes about the lifestyles of two children, Angela and Andy.

Angela: The girl looks healthy. She knows how to keep fit. She gets up early even(即使) at week-ends. And enough exercise makes her fit. She doesn't eat fast food very often.

But sometimes she eats snacks between meals. Are most girls greedy(嘴馋的)? She should eat fewer snacks. They are not good for her. She can eat more fruit between meals.

Andy: Andy likes sports. He is good at swimming and football. He does sports for over one hour every day. That makes him fit and strong.

But Andy is a picky eater. He doesn't eat enough meat for meals. So he is not tall. And he has another problem—sleeping in(睡过头，迟起床). He gets up too late on Saturdays and Sundays.

To get enough energy, Andy should get up early and eat more meat.

One day,a baby snail(蜗牛) found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell at any time. He asked his mother,"Why was I born with a shell?It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (grow)so hard and heavy. " His mother said,Because we don't have bones(骨头) to support us. We move {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(slow),so we need a shell to protect us. "

The baby snail asked again,"The caterpillar(毛毛虫)has no bones,either,and she can't move quickly. Why can she live {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a shell?"The mother snail64. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(answer) patiently,"That's because she will become a butterfly. She can fly high into {#blank#}5{#/blank#} sky which can protect her. "

The baby snail then cried ,"We are so poor!We have no {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(protect) like that !"His mother smiled at him,"That's why we have a shell. My dear,imagine {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we don't have the shell, what will happen to us?Our bodies will be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(dry) out by the hot sun and we'll have nowhere to sleep. What'sB{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(bad),we'll die in the heavy rain. We don't depend on the sky. We should depend on {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we). "

Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents' house. On each visit, their grandpa would give them a few coins. Then all the children would run off to buy 1 . One day, the grandpa told the children, "Let' s have a competition to see who can use the money 2 . In the last month of this year, tell me how you' ve 3 your money."

Ruben and Nico, the two youngest kids, continued spending their money all on sweets. Every time, they would 4 their sweets in front of the other children. This made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer keep saving their money. They soon 5 Ruben and Nico.

Monty decided to manage his money by buying and 6 things. Soon he made a lot of money. The way he was going, he would end up almost a7 man. However, he began to spend his money on more and more expensive things for himself. A few months later, he had no money left. Alex saved all the coins he was given, and by the end of the 8 he had collected more money than anyone else.

Julia had no money left on the last day but she got grandpa' s 9 . In fact, she gave all her coins to a 10 violinist to help improve his life. In return, he taught her how to play the violin.

Julia kept practising hard and years later became a famous violinist. An act of kindness can lead to a great reward.
