A father and his daughter were walking back home on a hot summer day. On the way the daughter saw a woman1apples. She wanted her father to buy one for her. The father didn't take much2with him, but it was enough to pay for two apples. So he went to the woman, bought two big red apples and gave3to his daughter.
Then the father smiled and asked her to share the two apples with him. After4this, the daughter took a bite from one apple. The father felt surprised.5, before he could speak, the daughter put the other apple into her mouth. She took a bite from it6.
The father was a little7about what his daughter did.8did she act in such a greedy(贪婪的) way? He guessed maybe she was too young to understand9and giving. There was no smile on his face. Just then the daughter said," Dad, have this one. This one is much10."
He felt11for making the judgment (判断) so quickly about a child. His12came back again. Now he13why his daughter took a bite from each apple.
It14takes some time for us to understand things better.15don't judge(判断)anything too quickly.

Dear Jackie.
Hello from Hong Kong! My class tour of China is almost over. Hong Kong is our last stop. Wear rived here on Friday night, and I'm having a lot of fun.
On Saturday, we visited the top of Victoria Peak. The view from the top was incredible! l could see all of Hong Kong. There were also some nature trails(观景小路)on the peak(山顶). We went for a short walk and then had lunch in the afternoon.
In the evening, I went with two friends to the Temple Street Night Market. The streets were full of people selling food, clothes, watches, bags, electronics(电器), and lots of other things. I bought some souvenirs(礼物) to bring home. It was really a great day!
Yesterday, our group went to Disneyland (yes, there's one here)! The park was crowded, and the lines for rides were long. I waited an hour to go on Space Mountain. That was my favourite!
Today is Monday, and we're going to Ocean Park to see the pandas. I'm really looking forivard to it! we will leave for our home in Vancouver(温哥华)tomorrow night and arrive on Thursday morning. See you soon!
Yours,
Natalie
Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.
A hero does something worth(值得) talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of(高度评价) it. But a hero is not just the person with great power fame(声誉).
A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests(暗示) they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr, Americans might take different buses, cat in different restaurants; go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colours of their skin.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.
In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.
Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu(菜单) on the counter (柜台),and say what you'd like to cat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip (小费).
In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to cat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (收银员) as you leave.
In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her your name. If you can't finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add fifteen per cent to the bill (账单) as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.

Yellowstone is a huge park covering over 3,400 square miles in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. You can reach there by air to Cody or Jackson, 50 miles from the entrances (入口). There is no train service nearby.
Limited (有限的) bus service is used from some of the towns near it. So when you are in the area, a car is a must. The park has 5 entrances and the entrances are open from May to October. It is a good idea to plan a trip during the good weather. And parts of the park are open in winter for snow sports.
Be sure to prepare for different weather at any time of the year. Take enough clothes because the temperature is changeable(多变的).Take good walking shoes and thick socks, if you are going to hike. You can also see the park on horseback.
lf you want to learn about Yellowstone, there are many talks, films and tours to help you to understand it at the National Park Service.
A man tried to catch monkeys to sell them to zoos. The monkeys, however, were very c and every kind of trap(计谋) failed.
A young boy watched the man's efforts(努力) and then took a pot (壶) with a narrow neck (瓶颈). He put a few peanuts(花生)around the pot and put lots of peanuts I it. He then t the pot to a tree and he told the man, "We should have am in a few hours."
Some monkeys soon found the peanuts and the pot. One put his hand into the pot e and got some peanuts, but he couldn't pull his h with peanuts out of the narrow neck of the pot. The monkey was afraid and began to cry. Some of the o monkeys tried tan successfully to pull the pot off his hand.
The boy and the man heard the noise. As the boy came near to the monkeys with a bag, the monkeys all ran away c , the one with its hand in the pot. The boy packed the monkey and the pot into the bag. The man was s and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap." Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out? "
The boy laughed and said, "The monkey could get his hand back out if he let go of the peanuts in the pot, but he just wasn't w to let go. They never are."
