Dear Know,

      I need some advice on how to make friends! I have just moved to a new city. I am 13. I don't know anybody here and I want to make some friends. What's the best way? Where can I meet people?

                                                                                                                           Yours,

                                                                                                                                Tony

Dear Tony,

     There are lots of things you can do. First, you can ride your bike in your neighbourhood and try to find some kids. When you find some, you can go up and talk to them. You should also let your parents know that you want to make friends because they can help you. Maybe you can ask your parents to take you to the library or some places where there are lots of kids. You could try joining an art class or a sports club. These are all great ways to meet people. You can also try making friends at churches (教堂) if you go to churches on Sundays. Try to be active wherever you are, but just be yourself and don't try so hard. It takes time and patience. I hope you will find a best friend soon!

                                                                                                                 Yours,

                                                                                                                         Know

    In the future, machines will be improved and do more and more work for man. Few people have to work for long hours. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} How will they use this leisure (空闲时间) in the world of tomorrow? Certainly they will still need holidays.

    In the future, the computer will help people to find the right place. The computer will ask them questions which they will answer by pressing a button. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} then the computer will tell them where to find the place they want for holiday. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} It will also help people to use their leisure time well. There will be more programmes on how to make and how to do things.

    In the future, people will certainly have to do less work. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} This means that the rest of the time will be mostly leisure time.

    Some scientists say that man of the future will be able to get enough pleasure and enjoyment on their own without going anywhere. According to other scientists, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} The cap will make him see, feel and hear all kinds of enjoyable things.

    Mrs Burt was walking along a San Francisco street. Suddenly a man took her purse and ran. She was very angry. She had ten dollars, her bus pass, and the key to her house in her purse. Mrs Burt ran after the thief.

    The thief ran one block, two blocks, three blocks. The thief was a young man, so he could run fast. Mrs Burt was not a young woman-she was 73 years old-but she could run fast, too, Mrs Burt stayed right behind the thief.

    Mrs Burt was wearing two chopsticks in her hair. The chopsticks had sharp ends Mrs Burt took the chopsticks out of her hair. "Maybe I can stab(剩) the thief with these chopsticks." she thought. "Then he will drop my purse."

    The thief ran into an apartment building. Mrs Burt followed him. "Help! Stop him!" she shouted. "He has my purse!"

    Two police officers were walking near the apartment building. They heard Mrs Burt and ran to help her. One police officer stayed with Mrs Burt. The other police officer chased the thief.

    The police officer found the thief on the roof of the apartment building. The thief was looking in Mrs Burt's purse. When he saw the police officer, the thief dropped the purse and jumped off the building. The building was two story's high.

    A few minutes later the police officer caught the thief. He was hiding under a car.

    He couldn't run because he had broken his legs. The police took the thief to jail. The thief will stay in jail for a long time. But the thief was lucky. He was lucky that the police caught him. He was lucky that Mrs Burt didn't catch him!
