There was once a spider that lived in a cornfield. She liked this home and planned to stay there for the rest of her life.
One day, the spider caught a little bug (小昆虫) in her web. Just as the spider wanted to eat him, the bug said: "If you let me go, I will tell you something important that can save your life."
The spider thought for a little while and listened. "You'd better get out of this cornfield," the little bug said. "The harvest (收获季节) is coming!"
"I think you are just telling me a story," the spider said with a smile.
"Oh no, it is true," the little bug said." All the stalks (秆) will be knocked down, and the corn will be. You will be killed by the large machines if you stay here."
"I don't believe you," the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch.
A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: "A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life, and nothing has ever troubled me."
The next day was a beautiful sunny day. The sky above was clear, and there was no wind at all. That afternoon, when the spider about to have a rest, she noticed something like clouds moving toward her. She could hear the noise of a great engine, and she said to herself: "I wonder what that could be?"
Second-grader Christian Bucks noticed that some of his friends seemed lonely on the playground during the break. Then he remembered something he learned that helps children make new friends at school. He decided to make it happen.
Bucks started a buddy bench(朋友长椅)，a place where students can sit if they feel lonely, and other students will come up to them and ask if they want to play or just sit and talk. Bucks said it acts as a way to "grow our dream circle of friends"
Bucks first heard about the buddy bench at a German school, and loved the idea very much. "He thought this was a great way to help other kids who might feel lonely," said his mom, Alyson.
Last year, just before school ended for the summer holiday at Buck's school in Pennsylvania, USA, Bucks told his principal(校长) Matthew Miller about the buddy bench. He explained why he thought he school should have one. Miller and Bucks' teachers loved the idea and even let Bucks pick out the color and style of the bench!
The buddy bench was put near the playground. Bucks hopes that students will use it and that it will help teach students to be kind to each other.
"We show we care about others when we ask others to play," he said. "I also hope that new friendships will be made because of the buddy bench."
Dear American Girl,
My birthday party guest list has a lot of people on it, but I can only invite five to my birthday party. They're all my good friends. How can I choose?
Jessica
Dear Jessica,
You can talk to your parents about your birthday party. Explain that picking only five friends might cause friendship problems for you, and ask if there's a way to deal with it. Could you have a simpler party with more people? You can change your party plan to include more friends. This could avoid hurting people's feelings.
American Girl
Dear American Girl,
There's girl in our grade who always follows us around. We don't like her because she's annoying and always getting in our business. How can we get her to play with someone else without hurting her feeling?
Four friends
Dear Four friends,
Your four need to be careful because this is how many bullying(欺负)situations get started. This girl is just trying to find a place to fit in. Maybe it's with your group, and maybe not. Either way, try not to be mad at her for "annoying you ", and really give her a chance. Be kind. Say hi. And accept the fact that she's not perfect — who is perfect, after all? If she asks you questions you don't want to answer, just ask her a question about herself to change the topic. Telling this girl to play with someone else can turn quickly into bullying. That will hurt her feelings and might put you four in trouble. So just share your friendship.
American Girl
Kids should learn when they should call 911 because sometimes accidents happen. I will never forget the day when I first called 911.
One day I was sitting on a rock watching my mom train a horse. Suddenly, the horse kicked(踢)and she fell off the horse. She landed on the ground, rolled over, got up on her knees, and held her face in her hands. The horse ran off.
I was in a bit of shock. I shouted to my mom and asked if she was all right. She didn't answer. Instead, she ran into the house. I was scared, but I knew my mom would want me to make sure the horse was safe. I found the horse and led him back to the barn(畜棚).
After I put him in the barn, I ran into the house. My mom did not look OK. I called 911 and told the operator what had happened. Soon an ambulance(救护车)came. It drove us a short distance to where a plane was waiting to take my mom to the hospital. In the ambulance, I called my mom's friend, who came and took me to the hospital, too.
On the way to the hospital, I was scared and started to cry. Would my mom be OK? Luckily, after five days in the hospital, she got well and came home. She said I was a brave girl. I was so happy to have her back. She was riding and training horses again after about six weeks.
Friends are very important in people's live. I think it's very easy to make friends with other people and build a friendship between each other. However, So what is true friendship? In my opinion, true friendship includes:
First of all, true friendship must treat their friends loyally and help each other. In other words, you must not take advantage of your friends, For example, some unfriendly people make friends in order to cheat money and feelings, or get a certain secret and so I don't think these are true friendships.
Second, For example, if a friend is really in need of money to escape from some troubles, true friends might lend it and help him or her.
Third,One of the greatest men once said:" If you tell your happiness to your friend, you will get double happiness. If you tell your sadness to your friend, you will get half.
