Long time ago, there were two friends working for the King（国王）. One boy wanted to give his sick（生病的） younger sister something to make her happy.

    One day, he walked with his friend in the garden, and he saw the beautiful flowers. He took one to his sister, thinking that no one would see him do so. He did the same thing the next day, and the next, and the next……. One day, the King noticed few flowers were left. He was so angry（生气的） that he called everyone to get together.

When they were all before the King, the boy thought he should tell King that he took the flowers. But his friend told him to be quiet, because the King would be very angry with him. The boy was very afraid, but when the King came near, he decided to tell the King what he did.

    When the King knew why the boy picked the flowers, he smiled （微笑） and said, "I couldn't think of a better use for my flowers." From that day, the boy and the King took two of those beautiful flowers every day, one for the boy's sister, and the other for the Queen（女王）.

    There is an old man in a house. In the house there are many mice. The old man has a cat. Every day the cat catches the mice and eats them.

    One day, the old mouse says, "All mice must come to my room this evening. We must find a way to deal with (对付) the cat."

    All the mice come. Many mice speak, but they don't know what to do. At last, a young mouse stands up and says, "We must put a bell (铃) on the cat. When the cat comes near, we can hear the bell and run away. So the cat can't catch us." "Who can put the bell on the cat?" asks the old mouse. But no one answers.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} ⑴The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come "around 3:00", that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ⑵Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house. This could be a box of chocolate for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} ⑶When you visit your friend's house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names, and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} ⑷As we all know, students should learn how to get on well with others. But in what ways? First of all, we should respect others. Everyone has their own way to do things, so we should understand each other. Besides, it is important for us to communicate with each other. What's more, we should be kind to others and offer necessary help to those who are in trouble.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} ⑸Everybody has his parents. But not everybody gets on well with his parents. Well, first, we should respect our parents because they bring us up and care for us all the time. Second, we are supposed to do some housework at home. We should help clean the room, cook meals and so on. Third, we should care for them, have a talk with them about their work.

Two simple words "thank you" have made a big difference to thousands of firemen in New York City.

Savannah is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}girl from Texas. "I was trying to think {#blank#}2{#/blank#}I could help them out," she says. After {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(hear) about sacrifices (牺牲) made by firemen, she was moved by the risks they face. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Savannah made 200thank-you cards for them. "I want to show how much I care about them."

"I told the firemen thank you," Savannah recalls. "They're always there to help us."

Savannah {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (decide) to keep making cards. For the next seven {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (month), she woke up early to paint and colour and cut. In that time, she sent 1,600 cards {#blank#}7{#/blank#}bite-sized candies while meeting these heroes. Soon, fire stations started thanking the girl.

Once too shy to talk to others at school, it is now easy for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she) to communicate with firemen and school students. And she can even give a speech in public. She is quite {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(difference) from what she used to be. "She's saying how thankful she is for them!" Savannah's mum, Debbie, says, "Savannah sees that stepping out and doing something can {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(true) make a difference."

Bonnie shook with cold. It was almost 1 . Bonnie needed a warm and safe place to spend the following months. 

Finding a new place to sleep was 2 than he thought. No place was right. Finally, Bonnie found a cave in a hill. It was 3 except for one thing. The opening was small because it was covered with a lot of soil and roots. "I'll dig out some soil and make the entrance bigger," he thought. Bonnie dug and dug. It took a lot of hard work and effort. 

The roots were too strong to be cleared away.4 he heard a loud sound, "rack". Bonnie turned quickly and saw a small squirrel. He smiled at Bonnie, "It seems that you need help." Bonnie sighed, "I have been trying to 5 this cave, but it's difficult." 

"I'm Jack, and I can help," said the squirrel. "But you are too small," said Bonnie. Bonnie sat down as Jack ran away. A few minutes later, he came back. 

"What you need is a book," said Jack. "Reading can help you. Books are full of knowledge. He handed Bonnie a thick book." 

Bonnie paid careful attention to the story about a lion and a mouse. 

The lion thought the mouse was too 6 to help him. One day the lion got caught in a 7 . The mouse chewed( 咬 ) the net's ropes and helped the lion run away. "The lion learned an important lesson," said Bonnie. "I think I did, too." The mouse had sharp teeth and so did Jack. Jack could help. The new friends made a fine team. Jack chewed through the thick roots and Bonnie dug out the soil. Finally, Bonnie could 8 the opening easily. 

"Are you 9 with your new home?" asked Jack. "Sure, I am!" said Bonnie, "I won't be homeless on such a cold day any more! And I have 10 something, too. Never look down upon others who appear to be weaker than you." 

Do you think there will be a robot in hospitals? If you go to a hospital in London, you'll see a new doctor there. He is very clever. He can work 24 houts a day and never gets tired. He is Dr Robot. 

Doctors often need to ask their patients a lot of questions, and it always takes them a lot of time to do that. But Dr Robot can ask patients questions for an hour if it is necessary. With the help of Dr Robot, a human doctor can have a lot of useful information when he meets his patients. 

How can Dr Robot do this? A computer "tells" him what to do. Dr Robot can do a lot of things that people can do, though he can't completely replace human doctors.
