Long long ago, there was a crowd of antelopes(羚羊)in the forest. In this crowd there was1wiseteacher. He was admired by everyone because he taught the young the tricks and strategiesof survival. One day, his younger sister brought her son2 him and asked him to teach3wasimportant to antelopes. She said, "Dear brother, this is my son, Dick. Pleaseteach him the tricks and strategies of survival. The teacher said to Dick, "You4 come at this time tomorrow foryour5 lesson."

    At first, Dick came to have lessons on timeevery day. But soon, Dick became6 inplaying games with others, so he began to cut classes.7,he didn't realize how dangerous it could be for a young antelope8 learned nothing but games.

    Unfortunately, one day the young antelope steppedin a trap. Knowing Dick9, his mother was worried. She went to herbrother and10 him"My brother, how is my son? Have you taught him the tricks and strategies ofsurvival? The teacher replied, "My dear sister, I tried11 best to teach him, but your son did not want tolearn the tricks and strategies of survival. He cut classes. How could I possiblyteach him?"

    At this time, they heard that Dick12 in a trap. They hurried to rescue him before itwas too late. Dick was too scared13 andregretted deeply.

14 the young antelope had kept learning15 all the time, he wouldn't have been caught.

① As Daddy's only daughter, I know what makes my Daddy more fantastic than all the other fathers — his big hands.

② Daddy has smart hands that can make lots of paper toys for me to play with. His hands can also make my hair beautiful. That's why I feel happy when other students talk about my hairstyle. I keep it to myself for years. What's more, his hands can paint a second-hand bike to look new. I get one on my tenth birthday. His hands can cook a delicious and colorful meal in minutes. I feel interested in watching his hands work. 

③ Daddy's creative hands are also useful and hard-working. They can fly a kite high in the sky and get it down from the top of a tree. They can wash my white dress clean, which becomes my favorite one. To my surprise, those hands could feed seven children after Mom died (死亡) . It is his feelings that show what he really is, far more than his abilities (能力).

④ Not only are Daddy's hands great, they can also send me a note full of love. When I am ill, he makes me feel better. He will take a small blanket (毯子), warm it up and put it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. They seem to know I am feeling terrible before I can cry (哭). When I am worried about something, Daddy will often hand me a cup of hot milk and sit next to me. He will say, "The best is always to come, my dear."

⑤ The more I read Daddy's hands, the more stories I get from them. Daddy's hands are fantastic. They have the knowledge (知识) and power to move mountains. They make the impossible possible (可能) .

My favourite food

Everyone knows that exercise is important. We all need to exercise. Doctors say it is good for us. It makes our heart and body strong. Children who often exercise are more clever. This means they do better in tests and schoolwork than those who don't exercise. There are many ways to exercise. 

You can walk, run, swim, skate or play ball games. Make sure you exercise in the following ways. You have to like what you're doing. Exercise enough but not too much. It's best to exercise twice each week. Thirty minutes each time is enough. Try all kinds of things until you find one, two or even three sports that are right for you. 

You can exercise at fitness centers（健身中心）. They have a lot of equipment （设备） there. The equipment will help exercise your arms, legs and other parts of your body to make you fit. Some people buy equipment for their homes. But it is very expensive. 

Exercise can be fun. Friends can exercise together at a fitness center, or they can play sports together. How do you exercise? 

My Good Friend
