Once a little boy named Tom always felt lonely and unhappy. One day he decided to meet love. He started off with some food and drinks in the early morning. When he passed through a small park, he saw an old woman watching some flowers. She looked a little hungry. He gave her a sandwich. She gave him a smile and ate it. The smile was very beautiful. He wanted to see it again. So he gave her another sandwich. She smiled at him once again. Tom was very happy and sat down beside her.

    They sat there for a long time, eating and smiling, but said nothing. When it grew dark.Tom decided to go home. After he had gone a few steps, he turned around, ran back and gave the old woman a hug(拥抱). And she gave him the biggest smile ever.

    When Tom came back home his mother was amazed at the joy(快乐)on his face. "Tom, why are you so happy?" asked the mother. "I had lunch with love, and she has the most beautiful smile in the world. ”

    Also the old woman's daughter was amazed at her mother's pleasure. “Mum, what has made you so happy?"asked the daughter. "I ate some sandwiches with love and he is much younger than I expected,"the old woman answered.

    Mr. and Mrs. Black opened a small restaurant. In order to attract (吸引) customers, they put a notice in front of the restaurant that said "Meals on the House for Three Days."

    A foreign student who didn't know much English happened to pass by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunch time and he felt very hungry. "Well, here is a restaurant. I am going to have something to eat."

    He walked towards the restaurant when he saw the notice. "American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on their houses. But how can I get up to the top of the house?" he said to himself.

    He looked around and found a ladder against a tree nearby. He started climbing up. But as he reached the top，he heard someone shouting at him.

    "Hey, what are you doing up there?" Mr. Black shouted at him. Next to him was a policeman.

    "Doesn't your notice say? "Meals on the House for Three Days'? Is it just a joke?" the foreign student answered.

    On hearing this, both Mr. Black and the policeman laughed. "Do you know what ON THE HOUSE means? Look it up in the dictionary," the policeman said.

    One day a young man was standing in a crowded place, shouting that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. Most of the people who saw his heart were amazed at the beauty of his heart. It had no little flaw (瑕疵).

    Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, "Oh, my son, your heart is not as beautiful as mine."

    The old man showed his heart to the young man. It was beating strongly, but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in. But they didn't fit quite right, and there were gaps and rough(崎岖不平的) edges. Some places have never been filled in.

    The young man laughed, "My dear old man,   ▲   Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars."

    The old man said, "Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart. You see, each scar shows where I have given my love. Sometimes people give me a piece of their heart back, and it fills the space as best it can. Other times, I give my love and get nothing in return. Those are the empty spaces. They hurt, but they show me that I can love and love again. "

    The young man stood still. His eyes were filled with tears. He walked up to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.

    The old man placed it in his heart, and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart.

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever.

The World Health Organization (世卫组织) says air pollution makes seven million people lose their lives around the world each year. Even if (即使) polluted air does not kill people, it can make them very ill. 

However, breathing dirty air does more than hurt people's body. It can also affect (影响) their brain and their ability (能力) to think. 

A new study shows that air pollution can cause (引起) a"huge" reduction (降低) in our intel- ligence (智商). The researchers (研究者) reported that long- term exposure (暴露) to air pollution can affect a person's men tal abilities (智力的) in two areas: language (语言) and math. Xi Chen, the researcher of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing pol- luted air can reduce a person's education (教育) level by about one year. 

Chen said that the affect usually is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education. "The older persons—— they are more affected. And we find, quite interestingly men are more affected than women. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors. "

The researchers found that the influence of pollution on language ability is even more serious (严重) as people age, especially among men and the less educated. Why are a person's language skills more affected than math? There's an important part in our brain: white matter (脑及脊髓的白质). 

White matter is more connected (连接) with a person's language skills. Studies have shown that air pollution has a great affect on the white matter in the brain. 

Chen said that air pollution did affect the math skills just not as much as their language skills. 

It's Sunday today. Peter doesn't go to school. He wants to play computer games, but his mother Mrs. Smith1 him to do his homework first. Then he can do the2 he likes. Peter isn't 3 . He asks. "Mom, do you love me?"

Mrs. Smith says, "Yes, I do, my dear. "

"Then why don't you4 me play computer games?5 can't I do the things I want? I like computer games. " says Peter. 

Mrs. Smith puts Peter' s 6 on the sofa and asks him, "Dear, do you love me?" Peter says, "7 . "

Then Mrs. Smith says, "Great! Dear, I don't like doing the washing. So I don't want to wash your socks. You8 play computer games after you wash them. "

Then Peter has a 9 at all the socks on the sofa. His face gets red and he says. "Mom, I am very sorry. I should(应该) help you do some housework at home. Let's do it together. Then I' ll10 my homework. I love you. "
