George was a quiet, serious young man. He had been studying very hard for one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.

  “You've never been to a dance, George.” he said. “It's boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.”

  “Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment of hesitation.

    So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim became worried about him, so he said, “now we'll walk home in the cool air.”

    On their way home, they came to a bridge. George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected on its surface.

  “What are those lights down there?” George asked.

  “They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.

  “The stars?” George said. “Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!”

Old Jack goes to see a doctor．The doctor looks over(检查)him carefully and says，"Medicine can't help you．You must have a good rest．Go to a quiet place for a month．Go to bed early，drink some milk，walk a lot and smoke one cigar(抽一支雪茄烟) a day. "Thank you very much，"says old Jack．"I can do everything you say．''

Four weeks later，Old Jack comes to the doctor again．"Well，"says the doctor．"I am glad to see you．You look much younger．''

"Oh，doctor，"says Old Jack，"I feel quite well now．I have a good rest．I go to bed early．I drink a lot of milk and walk a lot．Your advice(建议)helps me．But you ask me to smoke one cigar a day，and it nearly kills me at first．It is no joke(笑话)to smoke at my age．"

    In America，primary school lasts six years. There are about twenty students in one class. They are in different groups. Different groups may have different textbooks. The whole grade graduate(毕业)at the same time，but the students learn different knowledge.

    Primary school students don't have schoolbags. Their books are in the school. The students usually study reading，arithmetic(算术)，language，science，music，art and PE. The performances(成绩)show three grades. G means good. S means satisfaction. N means you need to work hard.

    Is lightning dangerous?

    Lightning is beautiful and exciting, but it kills a thousand people in the world

every year. Lightning is electricity. The electricity in lightning is very strong.In 1998, one flash of lightning killed eleven players at a football match.

    What does it feel like?

    Sabrina, aged 12 and her father are lucky to be alive. Last year, they were hit by lightning, but it did not kill them. Sabrina said afterwards, "It felt like a big hammer. My feet and legs hurt for an hour afterwards. My dad said he felt as if his hands were in an electric socket (插座).”

    How far away is it?

    When you see lightning, start counting the seconds: one...two...three....Stop

counting when you hear the thunder. Every three seconds is one kilometer. So if

you count six seconds, the lighting was two kilometers away. That does not mean

it is safe. Lightning can move very fast.

    How to be safe in a storm

    ⒈Stay inside if you can. You will be safe if you do not use the telephone,

electrical equipment or water. Do not stand too close to windows or doors.

    ⒉Lightning often hits metal things, so do not touch metal things outside. But

you are safe in a car if the windows are closed. The electricity goes down through

the car's metal and not through the people!

    ⒊Lighting often hits the tallest thing. Ask yourself "What is the tallest thing there?" If the answer is "A tree", do not stand under that tree. If the answer is "Me", move quickly!
