One night, a young woman was driving along a country road. It was dark and rainy. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding up her hand as if she wanted a lift(搭车).

   "I can't leave her out in such bad weather," the young woman said to herself. She stopped her car and opened the door.

   "Do you want a lift?" she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she talked with the old woman. But the old woman didn't say anything. The old woman only nodded or shook（摇）head. She tried again." Bad weather for the time of the year" she said.  The old woman nodded.

    Then the young woman noticed that the old woman's hands, which were large and hairy (多毛的). Suddenly she realized(意识到)that" she" was a man! She stopped the car." I can't see out of the rear screen(后视镜)," she said. "Would you please help me clean it?

   "The old woman" nodded and opened the door. As soon as "she" was out of the door, the young woman drove off as fast as she could.

When she got to the next village, she stopped. She noticed "the old woman left "her" handbag behind. She picked it up and opened it. Inside was a gun(枪).

    "We only had one recess (课间休息) today!" a girl from Connecticut said sadly to her mom. The mother, Lucy Dathan wishes her daughter had more recess time. "It helps kids build relationships and be creative thinkers," Dathan is working to pass a state bill(议案). The bill would require at least 50 minutes of recess every day.

    Advantages of recess

    There was a report about recess in 2017. It said that playtime encourages kids to be active. It can build healthy bodies. It also helps kids make friendships. Last year, the state started requiring two recess periods a day. Most U.S. schools offer 27 minutes. But some schools offer none at all.

    Powerful Voices

    At least six states have laws that require primary schools to provide recess. Other states are considering the same thing. Kids can help. In Arkansas, they asked lawmakers to consider a state bill. This bill requires 40 minutes of recess. Izzy Kopsky is one of those kids. Playing with his friends is his favorite part of recess, but he felt like he didn't have enough time to do that. He spoke in front of lawmakers and told them that more recess time could help students pay attention in class. The governor of Arkansas signed the state's recess bill on April 1st.He likes the kids' efforts. "Young people can have a powerful voice."

    Test Case

    Many schools have to make sure students do well on state tests. That's why some schools have shorter recess. It makes more time for class. But cutting back on recess may not be the right choice. Recess can improve a child's memory and focus.

Little Sam goes shopping with his mom in the shopping center.He sees four mirrors in the center.Sam feels they are interesting and he is really interested in them.

He stands in front of the first one.Oh，no!The boy in the mirror is not him.He is short and fat.Then Sam comes to another mirror.This time he is very thin and tall and his legs are very long.In the third mirror，Sam is tall with a long neck.Sam thinks he looks really funny and laughs. "You look like a giraffe （长颈鹿），" Mom says and laughs，too.

Sam comes to the fourth mirror. "Look，Mom，" Sam says， "It's me.I'm not tall or short.And I'm not fat or thin.I'm of medium build.It's good."

"What makes you look different in the other three mirrors？" Mom asks.

"Science，" Sam says. "Science is so fun!"

One day, a (n)1 woman came in the store where I worked. I welcomed her to the store, and she immediately started up a conversation, telling me her name was Barbara and asking me about my day. I stepped out to walk with her and nodded along while she2 . 

As we chatted, Barbara stopped to look at a shirt, "I really like the pattern. I used to wear colors like this when I was younger. "

I asked, "Oh? What changed?"

Barbara chuckled(轻笑)，"Well, as I started to get older, these sorts of clothes just didn't look good on me anymore Maybe it will be 3 for you, since you're a very pretty young girl. "

"Don't say that, Barbara! You're still very beautiful. "

Laughing, Barbara replied, "Thank you, sweet girl, but it's all right. I'll just 4 to what I normally wear. Patterns like this are made for young people like you. "

I always hate it when older people believe their5 is ugly. Older women buy wrinkle(皱纹)correctors, dye(染) the white and silver out of their hair, and do everything they can to cover their age until they 6 and say to themselves, "I'm just old and ugly now. "

I don't see things that way at all. So, I 7 her to try it on. 

When Barbara stepped out of the dressing room, I was 8 The dress fit her 9 perfectly, the colors brought out the warmth in her skin, and most importantly, she looked really, really happy in it. She didn't just like the dress; she liked HERSELF in the dress, clearly feeling more 10 . She even turned in a circle to show us how the skirt flared(展开)!

Before Barbara left, she said, "Thank you for making me feel forty years younger today. "
