A man walked into a restaurant. The restaurant advertised it had the1menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how2it was.

    At the bottom of the 3, there was a notice that said, "If you do not see the dish you need on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu right away."

The man4 the menu and decided to make sure if it was true. He would order5 that was very unusual.

    When a waiter came up to take his order, he said, "You say you can serve any dish, even if it's not on your longest menu in the world."

    "That is correct, sir. We are able to meet everyone's requirements."

"Well, "the man said, "bring me a sandwich with two elephant ears.6, not African." The waiter wrote down on his paper：Two Indian elephant ears on toast.

    "Very good, sir, "he said." That shouldn't 7long."

    The waiter walked away quickly.

    The man was very surprised and rather disappointed.

    Then he smiled8 the waiter returned with a very unhappy look on his face.

    "Ah！"the man said." You can't9 it to me, can you？"

    The waiter made an apology(道歉).

    "I'm very sorry, sir, and this is the 10 embarrassing, "he said, "but I'm afraid we can't because we've run out of bread."

Jenny is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old girl from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles, US, is taking care of three green abalones(鲍鱼) at school.

The students of Violeta Llamas' science class, including Jenny, have cared for the sea animals since January. The science class has eight teams. Each team takes turns to care for the abalones. Team Five—Jenny, Alexis, Jennifer and Ricardo—have now got their turn.

The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day, Alexis checks if the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of the abalones. Jenny makes fresh seawater. Then the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and give some food to the abalones.

    "Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them. " Jennifer said.

Nancy Cruso, a scientist, leads the project. She said the number of green abalones is going down because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea lives now depends on the young students.

"The students love taking care of the abalones. " said Llamas.

"Taking care of the abalones could open the door for those who want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector," she said.

The students' time with the abalones will end this school year. Cruso and a team of volunteers will record the abalones and then let them return to the sea.

    Miss Miller, the English teacher wants to know about her students. She asks them some questions. The next are some of the students' answers：

In winter, it is always very cold outside, while there are some people who make the season warm by offering help. This time, the14-year-old teenager Wang Minran brought warmth to us. That was a cold night and it was already 10 p.m. A 3-year-old girl played outside a restaurant and suddenly she fell into a 20-metre-deep well(井) by accident. Hearing that, people around soon went there and tried to save her. Four excavators(挖掘机) were even prepared. However, the well was not wide enough for a grown-up to get in. It almost drove the girl's father crazy. He tried to get in the well but a helper stopped him. As the girl's crying became weaker and weaker, everyone was very worried but could do nothing. Just at that time, Wang Minran appeared and volunteered to have a try. He was thin enough to get in the well. He was sent into the well from the mouth of it several times. Although it was very difficult, he didn't give up, and together with the helpers, saved the little girl successfully. The teenage hero is a middle school student. From him, we can see a warm winter and a promising(有希望的) future of our country.
