Once upon a time, there was a hardworking farmer named John. Every day, he worked really hard in his 1 , but his crops (农作物) did not grow well. An old man in the village2 John's hard work and decided to give him some advice.
The old man told John, "You should plant different crops each year 3 the soil (土壤) needs to stay good." John listened to the old man and started 4 different crops. The next year, his crops were really 5 .
But John did not stop there. He asked the old man for more farming ways. And John 6 these ways carefully. After a few years, his farm is very rich, and he got a lot of crops.
Other villagers saw John's 7 and came to ask him for advice. John 8 shared his knowledge, and quickly, the whole village's farming got better and the villagers got 9 .
Hard work and learning can bring success, and sharing what you know can help many 10 . John not only made his own life better through his work but also helped the village.
One day, a rich man went to a place in his country. When he came back, his feet hurt a lot. There are too many small stones (石头) on the way. "They hurt my feet. You should cover (覆盖) the way with leather (皮革)," he told other men. Of course, he would spend a lot of money on it. One of the men called Jack told the rich man, "Why not cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?" The rich man was happy to hear that. He thought Jack's idea is good because it's easy. He asked the men to make a pair of leather shoes for him.
Maybe this is not the beginning of leather shoes. But it teaches us a lesson of life: If we want to make the world a happy place to live in, the best way is to change ourselves (我们自己), not the world.

①Franz Schubert was a music giant (巨匠). He wrote several symphonies (交响乐) and operas, about600 songs, and had many other musical works.
②Schubert was born in a musical family in Vienna on January 31, 1797. His father was a teacher, and he taught young Schubert to play the violin. One of Schubert's brothers also gave him piano lessons. Schubert was really good at writing all kinds of music. Schubert started working at his father's school in1814, but he didn't like teaching. So he spent most of his free time writing music. During that time, he wrote his first full symphony and opera. He also wrote many famous songs.
③In 1818, Schubert gave up teaching to make music full time. It was a good change. People liked his music, and they even paid him to write music for them. Schubert finally made money from his musical works, but they didn't make him rich.
④Schubert died at the age of 31 on November 19, 1828. Schubert and his music were popular during his time. And people still listen to his music today.
① Do you have a dog? What can your dog do for you? Do you know that dogs can read our feelings? Now some people find that dogs can smell (v.闻到; n.嗅觉) people's stress (压力).
②Dogs really are man's best friends. They have special smell. A new study said that dogs can smell if people are feeling stressed. Teachers at Queen's University, UK, made the study. They got breath(呼吸)and sweat(汗) from people both before and after doing a hard maths problem. They looked at the people's heart rate (心率), blood pressure (血压) and stress feeling in the study. Dogs can smell the difference in breath and sweat from people. Then they can know when people are stressed.
③The finding is wonderful: the dogs found stress in 675 of the 720 people. It could be 93.75% right! Australian News reported. The study's writer Clara Wilson said, "stress can change people's breath and sweat. Dogs are very good at smelling these changes." In the study, she also said, "this finding helps us learn that how dogs may know people's feelings."
④ This finding shows how special the bond is between people and dogs. The finding also tells us that dogs are very clever. And maybe dogs can help stressed people.

There is a language. We use it every day. It's not Chinese, Japanese, or English. Guess what it is! It's language! When we were babies (婴儿), we already knew how to use body language. When we wanted a toy, we to the toy. When we wanted a hug, we opened our . As we grew up, we learned to speak. But we still often use body language.
Sometimes body language is much more honest (诚实) than words. Look at that man. He says, "I didn't it yesterday." Is he telling the truth (事实)? Maybe not! He is touching nose when he talks. That means he is lying (撒谎). Some body languages have meanings in different countries.
Here is an example. What does this picture the right mean? Very good? In Germany, "thumbs up (竖起大拇指)" means "1". But in Japan, means "5". So, be careful when you are using body language in different countries.
