Even though I just had lunch not long ago, I was felling hungry again. I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.

    I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it. “It's mine! I was the only one who found it!” I shouted. “You are my elder brother, you should give it to me!” said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.

    Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into a yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!

    To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily, within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.

    After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized      . If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learnt a good lesson.

    Mr．Smith is fifty years old．He began to teach in a middle school twenty﹣six years ago．He works hard and always comes to his office on time．He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them．Some of his students become famous people，but they still remember him and often write to him．Of course the old man is proud of it．

    This term he began to teach Grade One．Some of the new students were told about him，but the others didn't know him well．He told them how to be an honest person．He gave them several examples and said，"I hate telling a lie most．"

    Before class was over，he told all his students to finish Exercise 8 in Unit 1．The next morning，as soon as he came into the classroom，he asked，"Who's finished Exercise 8？"

    A few students put up their hands．He shook his head and said，"Open your workbooks and see whether there's Exercise 8 in Unit 1or not？"

    The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once．

    World famous physicist(物理学家) Stephen Hawking died peacefully at his home in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018.

    Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8th, 1942. He went to school in a small city near London. As he himself admitted, he wasn't very serious about studying. He did very little work, he was never top of his class. However, he still achieved good marks. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University to study physics. Then he went to Cambridge University to study cosmology(宇宙学).

    At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn't communicate except by blinking(眨眼). He sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer's mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器). "I've had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said, "Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work."

    Although Hawking was a disabled man, he made great achievements. He received many awards and prizes for his work, including the Albert Einstein Award—the highest achievement in physics.

    Hawking worked at Cambridge University as a professor. His story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair." he once said, "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

    After returning from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. "The railway owes me 12 pounds," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12 pounds. "

    Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he said politely. "' I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd." The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt(晒黑的) , "he said to her. "Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"

    "Yes," she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!"

    "That's fine," said Harry. '" My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three…"

    "I'm four," the child said proudly. "I'll be four and a half."

    Harry turned to the mother. "I remember your ticket, Madam," he said. "But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?"

    "Er, well..." the woman looked at the child. "I mean...she hasn't started school yet, she's only four. "

    "A four- year- old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs...let me see.13.50 pounds. The law is the law, but since the mistake is mine."

    The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office.

Luckily, an inventor comes to help people. Who is he? Read what he says: "Hi！I'm Flint. I'm an inventor. I invented a new machine to make food for our town. It changes water into food. It can make meatballs and hamburgers rain down. It can make whatever people want!"

    What's more interesting is that there is a special weather reporter. She tells people when and where the food will fall down. Read what she says: "Hi, my name is Sam. I am a weather reporter. People love Flint's invention. They have a lot to eat. But it's raining bigger and bigger food pieces. The food can smash(砸烂) houses! Flint has to stop it."
