When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona, nothing should get in your way — even if you have no feet.

    An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club's summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, dribble (运球), pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.

    His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, “He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell.” Muniz's gym teacher added, “He is challenging the social norms (标准). When he arrived there, no one believed in him.” But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.

    The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he'll be able to show off his “fancy footwork” and meet his idol, Barça soccer player Lionel Messi.

    Muniz wears a prosthetic (假体的) ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympic (残奥会的) sport.

    A man was visiting a rich person's house. As he went along, he saw a box of apples on the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples. The rich man will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away in the dust(尘土).

    He went on and came to a river. The river had gotten so high, and he could not get through it. He waited for some time and said," I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

    He started to go home. He had eaten no food that day. And he was very hungry. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

    Do not throw good things away. You might be happy to have them later.

    One afternoon, Kate and her brother, Bob, went out to play. Kate was eight, and Bob was ten. "Let's go to the bridge and we can see fish in the river." said Kate.

    "I don't know…" Bob said." Mum told us, "Don't go on the bridge." She said it's dangerous.

    Kate said," I am not afraid. Are you?"

    They walked onto the bridge and began looking for fish in the river. The bridge was a train bridge. Trains went over the bridge three times a day.

    The children were standing in the middle of the bridge when they heard a loud noise. "A train is coming!" Bob shouted. "Run!" He ran to the end of the bridge. He was safe.

    Kate ran, too, but she fell. The train was coming fast. Kate ran towards Bob. She fell again right on the train tracks（铁轨）. There was no time to leave. She had to lie down between the tracks. A few seconds later, the train went over the girl, but she was not hurt at all. She stood up and said to Bob, "Don't tell Mum! Don't tell Mum!"

    At last their mother found out the story. She was angry because they went on the bridge. But she was happy that Kate was all right.

Grace lives in Oklahoma. She is only six years old, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she already has big ideas for helping other kids!

One Saturday morning when Grace was five, she {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pass) a lemonade stand (柠檬水摊). Some teenagers were selling lemonade. Their purpose was to raise money for some of their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (friend). Grace wanted to have a try, so her mother explained to her {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to start a lemonade stand.

Grace wanted to help kids too, especially foster (寄养的) kids! That was because she and her brother were foster children. She thought that maybe she could help {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) by starting a lemonade stand!

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (luck), Grace's first lemonade stand made $ 132! She was very excited {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (buy) things for the foster kids with her mother. She helped 24 children for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} first time. Grace wanted to help {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (many) kids so her mum helped her start a project called Grace's Lemonade for Love. So far, she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (raise) over $ 17, 000! Someday maybe she will be able to send toys to all foster kids in her country.

(Now more and more people like shopping online, but is it good or bad? Here're a few different ideas. Let's take a look at them. )

Fred: I spend time on the Internet and buy many things online. I don't need to go out and wait for a long time. Also, I can always get the best things online. 

Dennis: I like shopping online a lot. I love to buy things on the Internet because people can send the products to me in a few days after I click the mouse on what I want. 

Anthea: Shopping online is a good way for us young people. We can save lots of time. When we buy anything online, we can compare different prices and features at the same time. 

Elihu: l like spending time going here and there in different shops and meeting different people, so I do very little online shopping. 

Harriet: 1 especially like shopping online, because it's much easier to choose my favourite things. Now I also have an online store called Millen to sell clothes.

Script Murder (剧本杀), also known as the mystery of murder, is gaining popularity among young people. A guest in the party secretly plays the role of the murderer without the knowledge of others while other guests, as players, need to find out the murderer through investigating (调查) and reasoning. In recent years, this game has gradually become a top choice for parties in China. 

There are two ways to play Script Murder, that is, online and offline. Most of the scripts provided by online apps are free; only a few high-quality scripts need to be paid. Players play role-playing games in a network "room" while offline stores usually set up scenes exactly the same as script settings. Players live in a "room", performing stories through language, expression, conversation, body movements and so on. This game often takes about 4 to 6 hours in total. 

In fact, murder-inspired board games, card games and party games have been around at least since the so-called golden age of British crime fiction in the 1920s and 1930s. The enduring popularity of these games presents a mystery of its own: What drives people to spend an evening investigating fake cases and hunting for "murderers"? 

One simple explanation might be curiosity (好奇心). When he's playing Script Murder in particular costumes, one feels like he's in that world. But that is not the full story. Instead, murder games follow a surprisingly complex set of psychological (心理的) rules, which can be educational and help people develop important thinking and acting skills. 

"People are considering the games as a way to simulate threatening plots (模拟威胁情节) and then play around with how they would react to it." Coltan Scrivner, a behavioral scientist, says, "After all, real-life violent (暴力的) crime is every person's worst nightmare."
