A teenage girl couldn't stand her parents' family rules, so she left home.
She wanted to be famous. But she had poor education and several years later she had to ask for food on the street for a living. Now her father has died. Her mother is an old woman. But she is still looking for her daughter. She has been to every corner of the city. Everywhere she goes, she puts up a big photo of herself on the wall. At the lower part of the photo she writes,“I still love you . . . , come back home!”
One day, the daughter saw one of the photos. The face was familiar（熟悉）. “Is that my mother?” she moved closer and read the words“I still love you ...” She cried. When she got home, it was early morning. She knocked on the door. The door opened itself. She rushed to her mother's bedroom. Her mother was sleeping. She woke her mother up,“It's me! Your daughter is back home!” The mother and daughter held each other, full of happy tears. The daughter asked, “Why is the door not locked? A thief could get in.” The mother answered softly, “The door has never been locked since you left.”
The door of parents' love for their children will never be closed.

    The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers(表演者) in the theater. He was a man famous for his escapes（逃走；逃生） — from prison cells（囚室）, from wooden boxes floating（漂浮） in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.

    Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.

    Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison （监狱）escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded（说服） a detective（侦探） which to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.

    It was the publicity(宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini's success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs(手铐) and toes trained to escape ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.

    Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame, and a name remembered today.

One day, Mrs. Green asked her class, "Does anyone think that they have changed since last year?" Danny put up his hand. 

"I was very lazy when I was in the fourth grade, " he said. "I 1 did my homework. I didn't bother (花费时间精力) going to the 2 because I didn't like to read books. But a park cleaner changed me. One morning, I was playing football in the park. The ball rolled (滚动) away and I ran to3 it up. I saw a cleaner sweeping up the leaves nearby. When he saw me, he stopped and said, 'Young man, doesn't the park look much cleaner now? I always work hard to make sure the park is clean. I don't waste my life and don't waste4 either. ' I thought about the man's words on my way home. I said to myself, 'I' m going to work hard to get good results at school. I won't be5 anymore. '"

Everyone gave Danny a big clap (鼓掌). 

Billy lives in a quiet street in a big city. His mother sometimes takes him to the park to play, but when she is busy, he plays in the street by himself. One evening Billy's father gave him a beautiful new ball, and the next morning Billy went out into the street to play with it. He played happily for a few minutes, but then a big came along. When the dog saw the ball, he wanted to play with it, too. 

Billy picked the ball up and held it above his head. He did not want the big dog to take it and to run away with it, but the dog jumped up and knocked him over. 

Billy's mother came out of the house and ran to him at once. " Did he bite(咬) you?" she asked. "No, he didn't bite me. But he tasted me, Mum. "
