A little monkey and a little fox (狐狸) were friends. One day, they went out to play near a river. They saw a (n)1 tree on the other side of the river. There were many big and red apples 2 it. But there was no bridge over the river. The monkey and the fox thought hard and finally they had a (n)3 . They pulled down (拉倒) a small tree and put it over the river as a bridge.
The monkey said, "My dear friend, you go first." 4 after the fox went to the other side, he kicked (踢) the tree into the river and ran to the apple tree. "How can 5 get there without the tree?" shouted the monkey. The fox laughed and said, "You 6 stand there and watch me eating the apples." The monkey was very 7 .
Suddenly, it began to rain. The water level (水位) in the river rose and the tree went away with the water.

When we asked about brothers and sisters, more than 2,000 children wrote to tell us about their brothers or sisters. Many children told us that fights often happened. More than half of the children fought with their brothers or sisters at least once a day. Most children said they shouted at their sisters or brothers when they fought. Almost half said they hit each other. But some of the children, about 20%, said they asked their mom or dad to help them solve the problem. And even more children said that after a fight, they said sorry to their brothers or sisters.
For now, you are still a child. You may be unhappy sometimes because of the fights with your brothers or sisters, but you will think they are funny experiences when you grow up. You will be the parent and you will have to stop the fights! So stop shouting when you get angry with your brothers or sisters. It is not always easy, but maybe you can start with just making one day "No Fight Day". Then your mom and dad will be very happy. Remember that it is never OK to shout at your brothers or sisters and hurt them.
There was an old man who was very poor, and he had to live with his son in a small and old house. But he was always helping others all the time. When people asked him why, he always answered, "It is better to give than to receive (收到,得到)."
One day, the old man was badly ill, and before he died, he said to his son, "I have come to the end of my life. It is time for you to carry on our work. " A few days later, there was a funeral(葬礼) for him. Some people came to the funeral.
A man said, "I'd like to thank him for helping me." And a man from another town said, "I never helped anyone, but I always got help from him!"
Then a woman explained, "I knew the old man when I was young. When I became richer than before, I gave him money to build a house. However, he used that money to help you. He wanted to make you understand charity(慈善), but you have never learned. "
Next day, these people who the old man once helped came with wood and tools. "What are you doing?" asked his son. One of them said, "For forty years, the old man tried to make us understand charity. We finally learned!"
Within (在…之内) a few weeks, a new house was built for the old man's son. In the front of it, there was a sign that said, "It is better to give than to receive."
When learning English, reading can help you a lot. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. When you read, you can find some good materials(材料) for your writing. Here are some good reading tips (建议) for you.
Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can more or less understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not suitable for you.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them down in your notebook. But you don't have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read, and mark them with a pen. Then come back when you finish reading it and look them up in a dictionary. Write down their meanings and try to remember them.
Try to read regularly(规律的). For example, read for a short time every day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix(固定) a time to read and keep doing that. You can read for fifteen minutes before you go to bed, in the morning or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. Because you are going to spend time reading it, choose an interesting one. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers for teenagers in China. You can always find something interesting in them.
