When I saw Peter for the first time, he looked like other kids in the first — grade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. 1 , he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.
On the day when it was time for Peter to 2 , he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub". It 3 more like "Baw Daw Saw" when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet（字母）.
The year passed quickly and Peter had made some 4 but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the school year 5 , I held an award（颁奖）ceremony. I had gifts and certificates（证书）for 6 . It took me a few minutes to 7 which Peter fit（适合）; I believed the gift could cheer him up. I 8 decided on "The Most Progressive Reader". I showed his certificate and a 9 .
A few days 10 , I saw Peter reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, "He hasn't put that book 11 . That's the first book he's ever 12 ."
Fighting back tears（眼泪）， I came near Peter and asked, "Will you read me your book, Peter?" He 13 .
And then, for the 14 few minutes, he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought.
15 he finished reading, Peter closed his book and said, "Good book."
At that moment, I knew I should do what an author（作家）had done — care children and make them excellent.

Even if you shop with plastic bags, always remember to recycle them. Most families don't realize the importance of eco — friendly living — especially children. So how can you help children start seeing green？ Well, here are a few suggestions.
⒈Don't buy toys — borrow instead. If kids are concerned, most toys start to lose their shine（光彩）. Don't let the unloved toys gather dust around the house, instead, join a local toy library, give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys, try to buy toys made from wood and other eco — friendly materials.
⒉Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him/ her get involved in nature by planting a tree, building a birdhouse, or taking a bike ride in a nearby park.
⒊Teach green. Even if your child doesn't receive an environmental education in the classroom, there's no reason that you can't spread the word at home. Let your kid help out with separating（分类）your recyclables.
⒋Stick with eco — friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment, but put it in a TV show and they'll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show, and you'll finally find the children learn it happily and relaxingly.
Once there was a small hotel keeper who was always caring about money.
One day, a businessman arrived. The keeper looked at the man's thick wallet and thought, "Oh, I wish that all the money could be mine!" The businessman didn't notice that, so he ordered the most expensive room and went to his room to dress for dinner.
Around the hotel, there were some beautiful ginger（姜）plants. Many people said that eating the buds（芽）of ginger would make a person forgetful.
The keeper thought, "If I serve some buds of gingers to the businessman, he may be forgetful to take his wallet!" Then she went into the kitchen. Soon, the businessman came downstairs and asked for dinner. The keeper was very excited as she served the dish to him. "Delicious!" said the rich man. When dinner was finished, he went to bed happily.
In the next morning, the keeper saw the businessman leaving from the front door. As soon as he was out of sight（在视野之外）， she ran up to his room, She looked all over the room for the wallet, but she couldn't find it. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper on the floor. It was the businessman's bill（账单）. He had forgotten to pay for it! She ran down the stairs, out of the front door, and across the road until she was out of breath（上气不接下气）， but the businessman was already far, far away. "I'm so silly!" cried the keeper.

C． The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. D． Shaking hands is very important in the U.S. E． Always look into others' eyes when you shake hands with them.

Ryu got up late in the morning. He set the alarm clock at 8:00 am the night before because he had a job interview（工作面试）at a company today. But the alarm clock didn't ring. How strange!
Then Ryu sat at the kitchen table where his breakfast usually was, but it wasn't there. Instead, he found a note left by his sister, "I am really busy today. Make breakfast yourself." So Ryu had a quick breakfast of bread and milk. Then he rode his bicycle to the company for the interview.
When Ryu arrived, he was scolded（责骂）by the angry boss（老板）for being five minutes late. But he still got the job after the interview. Also, he was told to get to work at 9:00 a.m. the next day. That night Ryu went to bed earlier at 11:00 p.m. in order not to be late the next day.
The next morning, Ryu's sister woke him up at 8:00 am. But he wanted to stay in bed for five more minutes. He finally had to get up when the sunlight shone down on his eyes. He did everything like any other normal day. When he finished his breakfast, he found it was already 9:05 am. He was late again.
