    Helen was seven years old, and one day one of her teeth began hurting. She cried in her class at school. Her teacher said kindly, “What's the matter, Helen?” “One of my teeth hurts,” answered Helen.“Tell your mother about it," said the teacher,“and then go and see the dentist.”

    That afternoon Helen told her mother about her teeth, and her mother took her to the dentist later. The dentist examined the tooth and then he said to Helen,“It' s very bad. I'm going to pull it out, and then you are going to get a new tooth. It will be as nice as the others next year.” He pulled the tooth out.

    The next day Helen's teacher asked her about the tooth. She said to her,“Does it still hurt, Helen?”“I don't know. You'd better(最好) ask the dentist.” Helen answered.“Why?”the teacher said.“Because the dentist has got it," Helen answered.

    Western people like to say "Thank you" when other people help them or say something kind to them. "Please" and "Thank you" are magic words that can show your good manners. You should say "Thank you" when someone passes you something. You should say "Thank you" too when someone walks ahead of you and keeps the door open for you. And also, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful, you would say "Thank you". The magic words are not only for your friends, but also for your family.

    "Excuse me is another way to show your good manner. When you hear someone say "Excuse me" behind you, you will know somebody wants to pass by you without touching you. If some people are talking, it's impolite to interrupt them. You'd better say the magic words first, and then begin talking.

    Let's say more about these magic words "Thank you" "please" and "Excuse me" in our life.

    Yesterday was 18h March. It was Sunday. My friend Han Mei was very busy. In the morning she got up early, and then helped her mother water the flowers and clean their rooms. After lunch she slept for an hour and then did her homework for two hours. She went out and played games with her friends at about 4:30 pm. In the evening she felt very tired and went to bed at 8:00 pm.

    On summer holiday I am in the forest by myself (我自己), I go down to fish in the river. Soon get a big fish. Then I hear a great noise. There, right behind me, sits a big black bear! Wild animals are afraid of any quick move. So I move very slowly. The bear watches me. But he sits still. I take the fish and throw it to him. He eats it at once.

    Now what am I going to do? I'd better go on fishing, I think. The bear thinks so, too. Soon I gets another fish. I go over to him and put the fish into his big red mouth. I fish and fish—all for him. At first I am afraid to stop. Then I begin to like doing it. He is so friendly.

    When evening comes, the bear stands up and turns away (转身离开) from me. I can take some fish for my dinner.
