Jack comes from Spain. "My twenty-first birthday is on a Saturday , " he says. " I'm going out with my friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they will pull on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It's an old habit. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very strict! "

Mr. Sato is from Japan. He's going to be sixty tomorrow." In my country, people call the sixtieth birthday Kanreki, " he says. " It's the start of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so they always have something red for the sixtieth birthday. "

The polar bear lives inside the Arctic near the North Pole. It has a very warm coat because the weather is cold at the north of the Arctic. A grown﹣up polar bear is usually about three metres long，and weighs 450 kilos. The food of the polar bear i{#blank#}1{#/blank#}fish，seals and other sea animals. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It can e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}swim 120 kilometres out into the water. Some people kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. S{#blank#}3{#/blank#} are calling on people to protect polar bears. The governments of Canada，the USA and Russia say that n{#blank#}4{#/blank#} is allowed to hurt﹣polar bears now. They say that these beautiful animals are d{#blank#}5{#/blank#} out. 

When you are too sick or tired to eat, would you enjoy a bowl of ramen? It wouldn't matter how good the ramen is any more-you wouldn't enjoy it anyway. 

If the boss decides to give you another bowl of the world's best ramen and lets you invite someone to eat for free. But you do not have any loved ones to invite-not even a close friend. Your feelings of loneliness will make the ramen tasteless as well. 

Ramen is like the expensive things that many of us think we want in life. Nice cars, expensive houses and beautiful clothes. They are nice to have, but we shouldn't forget that the most important things in life are our health and our loved ones. We must first take good care of our health and our loved ones before we worry about having nice things. 

Being rich is not always about having more money; it can also come from the heart. Having a rich heart is about finding inner (内心的) peace. Once you have made it, you will be thankful for what you have and be less worried about what you don't have. Or all the riches in the world will not be able to fill your heart. 

The next time you are enjoying a bowl of delicious ramen with a loved one or a close friend, think about how lucky you are. When life brings you difficult problems and challenges, remember that these same people are there for you to help you get past difficult times. 

Mobile phones have become a problem for some middle schools. In a middle school in Australia, students are not allowed to carry mobile phones during school hours.

Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students will want them.

Mary Bluett, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction (分心的事) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat (作弊) during exams.

She said some schools had tried to ban (禁止) mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn't get in touch with their children.

Many teachers think students should not have mobile phones at school. They said there were many reasons. The mobile phones were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies. But if there was a good reason, students could leave their phones at school office. 

Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.
