Once a man's ship broke into pieces on a small, lonely island. There was no one living on this island, so he hoped that someone could come to save him. Every day he watched the sea eagerly,1no ships ever appeared. The man became sad. He thought he should do something. He built a little wooden house to protect2from the bad weather, and to store the few things left in the ship.

But then one day, after3out looking for food, he arrived home to find his little house on fire. The smoke rose up to the sky.4was lost. He was very upset and cried, "Oh, my goodness.5do all the bad things happen altogether at the same time?"

Early the next day, a ship was coming near to the island. The sound of 6ship woke him up. It came to save him.

"How did you know I was here?" asked the man.

"We7your smoke signal," the people answered.

8things are going bad, don't be sad. We shouldn't give up9because hope is around the corner.10, next time your little house is burning to the ground, it may just be a smoke signal that brings better luck.

Lola the Whale was big but lonely. For years she wanted nothing to do with anyone and became sadder and1. Whenever anyone tried to get close to her and cheer her up, Lola would go away. Many thought that she was the most2whale in the world, but a hundred-year-old sea turtle always told3that Lola was actually a good, kind whale.

One day, Dido, a young little dolphin followed Lola the whale and found out that she would throw herself against the4. Dido didn't understand why Lola would hurt herself like this. In fact, Lola had terribly bad breath. She could not5beautiful songs any more because a little fish was stuck(刺) in her mouth and made her feel uncomfortable. This problem made Lola too6to speak to anyone. But no one knew it.

"I don't want them to think I am strange," said Lola.

"Is that why you've spent so much time7everyone?" asked Dido. "However, they don't think you are strange. They think you're not friendly, boring, and that you don't like them. Do you think that will make you8better?"

Lola suddenly understood that her pride, shyness, and not9anyone to help brought an even greater problem. Full of regret(懊悔), she asked Dido to help take out the fish in her mouth.

After that, Lola began10to everyone again. She had to try hard again to go back to her friends. She also tried to ask for help when she really needed it. More happily, she began to sing songs again.

Last week, a boy called Bobby wrote to me, saying that he had a problem with his father. His father was nice, but very busy. When they were together, they just sat there without saying anything and it made both of them look foolish. He didn't know what to talk about with his father. He asked me for advice.

Here is what I wrote back:

Dear Bobby,

I think you can try telling your father everything you told me in your letter. But if you're still afraid to do that, here are some helpful ways to start a talk.

First, remember that everyone loves to talk about themselves. You can ask your father something about himself. For example, you can ask him, "What's something you loved to do in your childhood, but you never have time for these days?" You will learn something about him and have a lot of new things to talk about next time. Another way is to tell him about something bad in your daily life. Ask him about a time when he was also troubled. You could change "troubled" to any other word, such as worried, unhappy and so on. Here's one more tip: You can find thousands of questions online. If your father asks why you have so many interesting questions, tell him that you find them online and you think they're fun.

Yours,

Aunt Linda

Problems are always there but you can find a way to get through the difficult time. If you have problems like the boy, you can also try the advice. I hope all of you can live a happy family life!

XINHUA - MAY 5, 2022

On Monday, a company called Rocket Lab used a plane to catch a rocket when it fell from space. Rocket Lab hopes to lower the costs of rocket launches by using the booster（推进器）of the rocket again.

To get enough energy to launch spaceship into space, a rocket may use more than one booster. Peter, who leads Rocket Lab, says that about 80% of the costs of a rocket is for the first booster. That's why Rocket Lab is working to try to catch and use its first part of the boosters again. Saving money by using rocket parts again will bring down the cost of launching.

In the past, Rocket Lab let some boosters fall into the ocean and took them back, but the salty sea water can be bad for boosters and make them hard to reuse safely.

As you might imagine, catching a big rocket booster is very difficult because it weighs nearly 1,000 kg, but it worked — at least for a short time. When it began falling, a parachute was opened to slow it down. Then, the plane used a long cable with a hook at the end to catch it. This hook caught onto another cable between the parachute and the booster, catching the falling booster. So, the quality of the cable is very important.

This test wasn't fully successful because later the plane had to drop off the rocket for safety reasons because the cable was not strong enough. However, Rocket Lab still hopes that next time the plane will be able to take the booster to a nearby boat.
