One day, a little schoolboy went home with a pain in his stomach.
"Well, sit down and 1 a cake," said his mother."Your stomach 2hurting because it's empty.It'll be all right when you've got something in it."
Five minutes later, Dad came home 3 the office.And he said he had a headache.
"That's because your head is 4," said his clever son."You'll be all right if you have got 5 in it." His dad and mum laughed.
Some people like to put their life in order.They are never late for work, they return their books to the library on time, they 1 people's birthdays and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive.Mr.Robinson is 2 a person.
Mr Robinson works at a bank and lives alone.His sister live in the next town with her husband, and her son, Jack.Mr.Robinson doesn't visit his sister or her 3 from one year to the next, but he 4 Christmas cards to them, and he hasn't forgotten each one of Jack's 20 birthdays.
Last week Mr.Robinson drove home from the bank at the 5 time, driving neither too slow nor too fast.He parked his car where he 6 parked it, out of the way of other cars and he went into the house to make 7 evening meal.Just then there was a knock 8 the door.Mr Robinson opened the door and found a policeman standing on the doorstep.
"What have I 9 wrong?" Mr.Robinson asked himself in surprise, "Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been any trouble at the 10? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"
"Hello, Uncle," said the policeman, "My name's Jack!"
The American secret service began in 1865．It has many important jobs．One is to stop different types of fraud (诈骗), such as printing fake (假的) money, credit card fraud and computer fraud．The other is to protect the president at all times．
The secret service's earliest job was to stop people from making fake money．The secret service agents (特工) still have to do that because the criminals (罪犯) are smarter now．They are better at using computers and other expensive equipment．But agents are much smarter．
Protecting the president is hard．The most dangerous places are outdoors．Agents can't check every person in the crowd, so they must watch the crowd carefully．And they always follow the president．They're just like the president's shadow．
Unluckily, some people do want to give the president trouble, or even hurt him．The secret service agents try to find them and stop them when they want to do something bad．It's a dangerous, but important job．The secret service helps keep the president and the country safe．
Time managements is the greatest challenge for me in high school．I have to take good care of my subjects, activities, social life and rest．I was often angry with my family members just because I didn't plan my time well．For example, I might shout at them for troubling me when I was working．And sometimes I might say something bad to them when I missed deadlines, even if it was actually my fault for cramming everything in (把所有的事情堆积起来) at the last minute．
As time goes by, I realize that time management is very important in our everyday life．The best advice to deal with time management is "break it into bits"．It's really important for you to learn how to break a big project into small, manageable tasks．Then you can work progressively and have a sense of achievement whenever you've done with a small part．
Another piece of advice is to plan a timetable for yourself．It doesn't have to be the one that you follow completely．It's just there to serve as a guide．You can compare your actual timetable with the planned one to see how well you actually use your time．The final suggestion is to always set deadlines for yourself．
How much do you know about the bird world?
Birds use three gaits: walking, running and hopping．
In walking, the left and the right feet move in turn (轮流)．Each foot is on the ground for more than half the time, so there are more times when both feet are on the ground．In running, each foot is on the ground for less than half the time, and there are more times when both feet are off the ground．In hopping, the feet move almost at the same time．This means that for much of the time both feet are off the ground．
Middle-sized and large birds walk at low speed and either run or hop at higher speed．Small birds, such as sparrows and swallows, usually do not walk, because walking may be too slow for them．It seems that the more time a bird spends in trees, the more likely it is to hop．Perhaps there is wide space in a tree between one thin branch (树枝) and the next, so walking is not a good choice, while on each small branch there is enough room to set both feet down side by side, so hopping seems to make sense．
