Before Father's Day, I found my father was unhappy because he was out of work. I decided to cheer him up by buying him a special Father's Day gift.
One day after school I1to the Agins which was known for fashions and styles. I told Agins that I was looking for a Father's Day present.
“ Do you think he'd like a2?”she asked. “I think he might.”I told her.
She 3a Swiss watch and I told her that would like it.
“ How much money do you have?”she asked.
“ 4dollars.” I replied.
“You're so lucky!”she told me. “It's only $11. You still have $1 for the5 . “ She packed the watch and I thanked for my business, and I rode off home with the gift under my arm.
When my father opened the gift, he asked6. “Where did you get it?”
“I boughtit at the Agins.I cost me $11.” I said. My father was shocked into silence.
Many years later, I did learn that the watch was worth several hundred dollars,7I appreciated(赞赏) how wonderful Agins had been to me. I always felt8that I never had chance to thank her.
“What really amazes meto this day…my daughter.”My father said, “Letting you have the watch for 11 dollars was9 enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch(触动) of10. I'll never forget it.”
Paul: Hi, Bill! Have a look atmy house in the country. I'm sure you can enjoy yourself.
Bill: I'd love to.But I hear that the food is not delicious, and your house is not good. Is it so?
Paul: No, that's not true. Go and see!
Then Bill goes to the countryside with Paul.
Bill: Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have better food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.
Paul: Thanks! Maybe you are right. I'll visit your house one day.
Several days later Paul goes to Bill's house in the city. The house is big and beautiful. They are sitting in the sitting-room, having a big dinner comfortably. Suddenly, there a great noise.
Bill: Run! Run! The cat is coming!
Paul: Oh, no! It's terrible! Both the house and the food are nice, but I do not like living in the city. I enjoy living in my hole in the field, for it is nice to be poor but happy than to be rich but afraid.

As soon as you walk into an EF school, you will understand why creating a welcoming learning environment is important for us to teach English. Our schools have modern well-equipped(装备) classrooms, computer labs, and teaching preparation areas. Our teachers receive a complete modern teaching program to prepare themselves to teach our high standards. And they've got high salary.
EF was set up a yearbefore 1965 with the duty to “break down barriers(障碍) in language, culture and geography”. It has helped over 15 million students to learn a new language and travel abroad.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. "I used to hate parties,"says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别) this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem music. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. "When people invite me to a concert, I just say "No, thanks. I'm amusic." says Margret.
