    Many years ago in Japan, a farmer and his wife had three children, two boys and a girl. The boys helped their parents on the farm. The girl was small and weak. She was often ill. She spent her time drawing cats. Her parents didn't like her, so they took her to the temple ( 寺庙 ) .

    In the temple the girl drew cats all day long. The other people in the temple tried to stop her, but she didn't listen. So they asked the girl to leave the temple.

    The girl came to a town. She didn't have any money, so she had to stay in an empty house outside the town. Inside the house, there was only a mat (垫子 ) on the floor, a light near the window, and a large paper screen ( 屏风 ) . The girl drew some cats on the paper screen. She drew cats of every kind. When the screen was full of cats, she lay down on the mat and went to sleep.

    The next morning, when the girl woke up, she was very surprised - there was a very large dead mouse in the middle of the house! People in the town said, "The girl's cat drawings came to life ( 复活 ) at night. They saved the girl from the large mouse."

    The girl left the town and went on her way. Everywhere she went, people wanted to buy her cat drawings. Soon, she became one of the most famous artists in Japan. When you visit Japan, you might be able to see one of her pictures.

A cold winter night, a girl quarreled (争吵) with her mother, then ran out of the house. When she went through a noodle shop, she suddenly felt very hungry.

The seller saw her standing there and asked, "Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?"

"But... but I do not carry money..."she shyly replied to the man.

"Okay, I'll treat you. Come in. I will cook you a bowl."

A few minutes later, the seller brought her a bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, the girl cried.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!" she said with tears. "Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles. But my mother, after a quarrel, she is not a good mother!!"

"Girl, why did you think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were born. Why were you not grateful (感激的) and why did you hurt your mom?"

The girl was really surprised after hearing that. "Thanks, I got it."

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly or when your best friend does not wait for you after school？If you do，you need to control （控制） your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.

Gary Egeberg，an American high school teacher，wrote My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells boys and girls how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says getting angry is not a natural way to act.  It is just a bad habit，like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily，and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.

When a baby falls over，it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby，you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.

The book gives much advice to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.

①Keep a record （记录）. Every time you get angry，write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.

②Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will help you calm down soon.

③Do something different. When you get angry，walk away from the problem. Try to laugh!

Hello, I'm Tom.  I come from Cuba (古巴), but recently I moved to China.  I started a new school life here.  It was a big change for me because the school life in China is quite different from that in Cuba. 

School in China starts at 8:00 a. m.  and ends at 4:00 p. m.  The new school is much better than my old school in Cuba.  For example, it is bigger and more beautiful than my old one.  I thought that I might be lost in the first week.  Luckily my new classmate Wang Lei is very friendly.  He showed me around the school.  He is my good friend now.  We always study and eat together.  We go to the canteen for lunch.  The cooks in the canteen cook various (多样的) traditional (传统的) Chinese foods.  They are very delicious.  I hope that one day I can also learn to cook Chinese dishes. 

In China, we don't have so much homework to do every day.  After school, I only have to do my homework for about twenty minutes.  I can go to sleep early.  It's good for my health. 

I start enjoying my school life here.  I am always having so much fun!
