My mother works all day so I have to take care of my younger brother. My little brother is about four years old and he1our mother all the time.
One day, after I give my little brother his dinner, he starts 2 for Mum. He is so young and3misses(想) Mum. So I 4 him, put on his shoes, carry him on my back(背) and walk out. Soon he falls asleep and we go on. About half a(n) 5 later, I find that he loses a shoe while sleeping. I take him off my back and put him down. I know we 6 find that shoe, for our mother doesn't have enough money to buy new shoes. We have to go back to find 7, so I tell my brother to wait(等) right 8. A man hears it and stops me just before I walk off. He is very 9 . He asks me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What will you do if(如果) your 10 is not here when you return?"
I don't know 11 to answer that question. He says, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, 12 it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sends us to 13 workplace(工作地) by taxi.
In my lifetime, I meet many strangers 14 the young man. I feel sorry that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even 15 what the man's face looks like, but he teaches me a lesson — people are more important than things.
In different places around the world, students go to school in different ways.
Cindy Vaporetto is a kind of boat that can run on the water in Venice, Italy. It travels between Venice and nearby islands. My brother and I take the vaporetto to school on school days. It often takes us 20 minutes. Vaporetto works 24 hours a day. |
Judy In San Francisco, the USA, you can see the trolley cars run on tracks on the streets of the city. Look! The new trolley car with old-fashioned wooden seats and modern mobile TVs is 12 meters long and can carry 80 passengers at one time. It runs on electricity. I get to school by trolley car. It takes me about 45 minutes because it doesn't run very fast, although my home is not far from my school. |

Mr. Lee is a teacher. He is strict with his students. He asks them not to be late for school. Never! Sometimes the students are late and Mr. Lee is not happy.
This morning, Mr. Lee gets up at 7:40. Oh no! He must be late for class. Mr. Lee doesn't have breakfast or take a shower. He runs to the bus stop quickly. Many people are at the stop, but there is no bus for Mr. Lee to take. So Mr. Lee takes the taxi (出租车).
Mr. Lee works at No.15 Middle School, but the taxi takes him to No.50 Middle School. At last, Mr. Lee gets to school at 8:35.
"I'm sorry, boys and girls. I'm late for school today," Mr. Lee says to his students. "Everyone can make mistakes(错误). From today on, I don't ask you never to be late for school. Please do your best not to be late. Can you do it?"
"Yes, we can," the class says happily.

Do you know any left-handers? Their special day is on August 13. It is International(国际的) Left-Handers Day! Only about 10% of people are left-handers. Some people say left-handers are smarter than right-handers. Is it true?
Scientists say that left-handers don't have higher IQs(智商) than right-handers. Left-handers and right-handers just use their different brains. They are good at different things.
The left side of our brain is Language(语言) and Writing. The right side of our brain is Creativity(创造) and Emotion(情感). The right-handers use the left side of their brain more often. The left-handers use the right side of their brain more often.
Why are some people left-handed? Scientists are still looking for the answer. Genes(基因) might be one reason(原因). Some use their left hands at a very early age, and others might hurt(使受伤) their right hands. Then they begin to use their left hands more often.
