It's a fine day. TheWhite family gets up at seven o'clock. They have breakfast at seven forty. Andthen they go to the park. They take a basket of food and a carpet (地毯).The park is not far from their home, so they ride bikes there. When they get tothe park, it's half past eight. Mr. and Mrs. White are talking with each other.Their son, Ted, is playing with a ball. Their daughter, Jenny, is takingphotos.

    After about an hour, Ted and Jenny sit down to relax. At that time, they see a squirrel eating a pine nut (松子)in a big tree. When they see the squirrel eating, they feel hungry. They go tohelp their parents take the food out of the basket. Ted has a hamburger.Hamburgers are his favorite food. Jenny has an apple. Mr. and Mrs. White havesome bread. They have a great time in the park.

    Life comes in a package. Thispackage includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope anddespair.Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and makeus a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with varioussituations.

Love plays amain role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person couldbecome cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who showus with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good andbad. But we don't always care about it. It is only after marriage and havingkids that a person understands others' feelings.

Happiness canbring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is thecause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things willpass away.

Failure is thepath to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and showsus a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.

Hope is whatkeeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makesus dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in thedarkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

Life teaches usnot to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrowis unknown, for it could either be bright or dark.So the only choice is towork hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

Do you know the grass in the picture ? It is a kind of grass for cats. It is good for your cat. Are you a cat lover? Do you want your cat to be healthy? Then you can plant this kind of grass at home. Please find the following steps.

What you need: A small planter(花盆) Potting soil (盆栽土) Water

Seeds (种子) (You can buy them at any plant store. )

▲:

Fill the planter with the soil. Water the soil until it is a little wet. Throw seeds across the top layer (层) of the soil, and then press (按)them into the soil. Water the soil again. Keep the soil wet until the seeds begin to sprout (发芽)-about one or two weeks. Then water is needed. When your seeds grow tall enough, you can invite your cat to taste it.

 Nick can't find his watch. It is blue. The watch is from his uncle Tom.

 Nick makes a telephone call to his father. He says," Dad, I can't find my watch. Do you know where it is?" Mr. Smith says," No, I don't. Is it on your desk?"" No, it's not on the desk."

 Nick calls his mother at 879-9904. He asks," Mom, do you know where my watch is?" Mrs. Smith says," Oh, I think it's in your room." But Nick's room isn't tidy. He doesn't want to look for it everywhere. Nick puts down the telephone and sits on the sofa. And just when he wants to call his uncle at 879-0994, his brother Rick says," Nick, I …"

Nick says," Rick, I am busy now."

" Yeah? Busy looking for your watch? It's on my wrist (手腕) ," says Rick.

Do you have a dog? What can your dog do for you? Do you know that dogs can read our feelings? Now some people find that dogs can smell people's stress(压力). 

Dogs are really man's best friends. They have special smell. A new study said that dogs can smell if people are feeling stressed. Teachers at Queen's University, the UK, made the study. They got breath(呼吸) and sweat(汗) from people both before and after doing a hard maths problem. They looked at people's heart rate(心率), blood pressure(血压) and stress feeling in the study. Dogs can smell the differences in breath and sweat from people. Then they can know when people are stressed. 

The finding is wonderful: Dogs found stress in 675 of the 720 people. " They could be 93. 75% right!" Australian News reported. The study's writer Clara Wilson said, " Stress can change people's breath and sweat. Dogs are very good at smelling these changes. " In the study, she also said, " This finding helps us learn that how dogs may know people's feelings. "

This finding shows how special the bond is between people and dogs. The finding also tells us that dogs are very clever. And maybe dogs can help stressed people. 

School PE Club is going to have some sports classes for the new term. Let's have a look.
