    One afternoon, Mrs. Smith decided to visit her friend Mrs. Green. Mrs. Green lived in a nice house with a large garden in the countryside. Mrs. Smith took her dog with her. While the women were having coffee outside the house, the dog was running around in the garden. The two friends were surprised when the dog appeared with a dead rabbit in his mouth. Mrs. Green began to feel sick because she knew that her neighbor kept rabbits in a hutch (兔窝) in his garden. As the dog and the rabbit were both covered with dirt, the woman took the rabbit and carefully cleaned it in the bathroom. When it got dark, they went quietly into the neighbor's garden and put the dead rabbit into the hutch.

    The next afternoon, Mrs. Green's neighbor found her in the garden with the dead rabbit. She walked to the neighbor and she felt very afraid. Because she knew she did something wrong. “You know what?” her neighbor said. “Yesterday morning I found one of my rabbits dead in the hutch. So I put it in the ground in the garden and this morning, it's back to the hutch! I'm going to take it to a right pet cemetery (墓地).” he said secretly.

    Hello! This is a UFO. And I'm an alien（外星人）. I am Eric. Look! My jacket is nice. It's white. What's this in English? It's a pen. What color is it? It's red. And what's this in English? It's a key. It's a yellow key. What's that? It's an English CD. I like（喜欢）it. This is an English book（书）. It's green. It's 0.5kg in weight（重量）.

    Once upon a time, there was a family with 18 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school at the same time.

    After many discussions, the two boys finally worked out a plan. They would toss(抛) a coin. The loser would go down into the mines(煤矿) and, with his money, pay for his brother's college tuition(学费).Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, he would pay Tor the other brother to study at the college.

    One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down into the mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his teachers. He was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.

    Durer returned. When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said softly: "The four years in the mines have done too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can't even hold a glass."

    To show his great love and respect for his brother, Durer drew his brother's hands with palms(手掌)together and thin fingers towards the sky. He called his drawing The Praying Hands, which became very famous years later.

    The next time you see a copy of that touching work, take a second look. Let it be your reminder: No one can ever succeed alone!
