Mrs. Black was worried because she couldn't stop her son, Jack, from betting (打赌). Jack spent all his money betting on horse races. And even worse he would bet on everything. So Mrs. Black asked her family doctor, Mr. Dodd, for help. The doctor was an old funny man with a beard (胡须). He said, “I've stopped many people from betting before. I can help your son, too.”

The next day Mrs. Black took Jack to see the doctor. While they were talking, Jack was looking at the doctor's beard. Suddenly he said, “I bet you $50 that your beard is not a real one.” “Oh, no,” the doctor said. “Can I pull your beard and find out?” the boy asked. “OK, if my beard is real, you will pay me $50.” Then the boy pulled it and soon found out it was real. The doctor laughed.

Two days later, the doctor telephoned Mrs. Black, “I think I've stopped your son from betting.” He told her the story. But Mrs. Black said, “You've made him worse.” “Why?” the doctor asked. “Because before he went to see you, he bet me $100 that you would ask him to pull your beard!”

Today is the fifth day of August. It is Judy's birthday. When she comes back home from school, she sees a card on the table. It says, "There's a present (礼物) for you, Judy. Look for it in your bedroom." Judy runs into her bedroom. Her parents are looking at her and smiling. On the chair she sees a red box. She thinks her present must be in it. She opens it, and there is a piece of paper in it. She reads it, "Dear Judy, I'm your present. My first letter is in the word 'bag', but not in 'age'. My second letter is in 'like', but not in 'lake'. My third letter is in "know", but not in 'now'. And you can find my last letter in both 'desk' and 'get'. What am I?" Judy thinks for a while and says, "Aha, I know. But where is it?" Her father tells her it is in her study.
What is it? Do you know?

There are four girls. They go to school by car every day. Their parents drive them all to school.
One day, after the girls arrive at school, Angie says, “Let's go to class an hour late. I don't want to take the math test today.” The other three girls think it is a good idea, because they all don't want to take the test. Angie says, “But our teacher will be angry if we come late. So we need a good excuse(借口).” “Oh, that's easy,” says Susan. “ We just tell the teacher that my mother's car has a flat tire(轮胎坏了). So we are late.” All the girls think it is a good excuse. When the girls arrive at the classroom an hour later, the math test is over. The teacher is very angry. “Why are you late?”asks the teacher.

Write down which tire is fault(出故障) on the paper.” The four girls look at each other and they don't know what to write.

How The Little Kite Learned To Fly?

By Katherine Pyle

"I never can do it," the little kite said,

As he looked at the others high over his head.

"I know I should fall if I tried to fly."

"Try, "said the big kite, "only try!

Or I fear you never will learn at all."

But the little kite said, "I'm afraid I'll fall."

The big kite said, "Ah, well, good-bye;

I am off." And he rose towards the sky.

Then the little kite's paper stirred（微动）.

And he shook himself free for flight.

First whirling（回旋） and scared, then bravery grown,

Up, up he rose through the air alone,

While far below he could see the ground,

And the boys like small ants moving round.

"Oh, how happy I am!" the little kite cried.

"And all because I was brave and tried."

You have nothing? That's not true! You have the most expensive things in the world, so you are a rich person." The young man was very surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? You can see I have nothing. What are these expensive things?" Then the old man said, "If you sell your eyes to a rich blind(盲的) man, you'll make a lot of money and can get everything you want. Would you like to sell them?" The young man didn't want to be blind, so he said, "No." The old man asked again, "Then what about selling your hands for some gold(金子)?" The your and shook his head for the second time. At last, the old man said, "Now you understand, you have the most expensive things in the world."
