A father and his daughter were flying a kite in the park. When they rested, the young daughter saw an old man 1apples. She asked her father to buy her an apple. Her father didn't bring much money 2him, but it was enough to buy two apples. So, he bought two apples and 3them to his daughter.
His daughter held one apple in her left hand and 4in the right hand. Then the father asked her 5she could share one apple with him. When the girl heard this, she 6took a bite (咬) of one apple. And before her father 7something, she took a bite of the second apple quickly too.
The father was 8. He wondered why his daughter did like that. He thought maybe his daughter was too young to understand about sharing and giving. A 9disappeared (消失) from his face.
And suddenly his daughter with an apple in her left hand said, "Daddy, please have this one! This one is much sweeter." The father's smile came back after knowing why his daughter quickly took a bite of each apple.
Don't judge 10too quickly. Always spare some more time to understand things better.
Soap operas are a kind of popular culture in America. Every weekday, lots of fans from all over the world are waiting to see their favorite soaps.
Soap operas were first on TV in 1952. The soap opera is not about soap, and it is not an opera. It gets this name because in the 1930s, soap companies (公司) paid for the shows, and they tell stories just like operas do. What makes the soap operas special is that the story never ends.
There are daytime and nighttime soaps. Daytime soaps usually have more information. Nighttime soaps are usually once a week, and each lasts (持续) for about an hour.
Soap operas are having a difficult time in today's TV market, but they are here to stay. Big fans will never give them up easily!

I think I've really hurt several people's feelings. Yesterday I said a bad word to Friend A about Friend B and Friend C, and I don't think any of them will like me anymore. I feel really bad. What should I do?

No one is perfect. Most people have been in the situation you're in. What makes the difference is what you do next.
You should make a sincere apology (道歉). Try saying, "What I did the other day wasn't right. I shouldn't have said that. I just want to say I'm sorry."
Let the person know you're not going to let it happen again. You could tell your friends, "I'm going to pay more attention to what I think and say in the future. I'll try to be kinder to people, and not to talk behind their back."
Apologize in person (亲自). Having a talk with your friend is best. If you can't do it, write a note. Some people are quick to forgive, but others may need time to get out of hurting feelings.
Forgive (原谅) yourself, too. You can learn from mistakes. You can't change the bad things you have done. You should let yourself get out of it and try to make things right in the future.

Are you a popular kid at school? Do you get along well with your friends? Being a kid is not easy, is it? But don't worry.
We're different, but best friends!
Friends might start to dress the same, talk the same, or even act (做事) the same. Friends can introduce different hobbies, share different ideas with each other. Friends should respect each others' differences.
If your friend asks you to do something that you know is not right, would you have the courage(勇气) to say no? Sometimes, saying no is not easy, because we all want to get along with our friends. Try to think these questions: Do I want to do this? What good things could happen? Then make your own decision even if your friend disagrees.
How to say "no":
Just say it.
Make an excuse why you can't.
Give a reason why it's a bad idea.
Suggest a different activity.
A. Here are some helpful tips. B. Have the courage to say no. C. But friends can be different. D. What bad things could happen? E. Good friends are always with you. F. A good friend is someone who gives you courage. G. If your friend is a true friend, he or she will understand you, not judge (指责) you or force (强迫) you. |
