When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our 1 . He was a geologist（地质学家）and loved to go on long walks to 2 stones to add to his collection at the university.
One day our uncle gave us two 3 and asked us to help him carry the stones. The whole day, we walked 4 the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were 5 surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags. We thought he had just found better ones.
We got back home in the late afternoon. The bags were so heavy that we were really 6 when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's bag was nearly 7 .
"Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked.
"I didn't. You did." he said, waiting for a while before continuing. "You did not know it, but I gave you a little attitude（态度）test today. And whenever you 8 about anyone or anything in an attitude of negative（负面的）thinking, I put a stone in your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive（积极的）thinking, I 9 a stone. And now look at your bags."
The bags were 10 full.
"Your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your 11 just like those stones in a bag. The more negative thoughts you have, the 12 your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and 13 you talk about things".
This little 14 was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for 15 us one of the most important lessons of life—the power of attitude.

What could a soccer player do after stopping working as a player？Jared Veldheer started a job in a school kitchen. It was even a little surprising to himself.
Veldheer likes cooking，but he was not sure if he wanted to work in a school kitchen. But when he saw the job in the newspaper，he took it happily. His two children's school didn't have anyone to run their kitchen just weeks before the start of the new school year. He thought， "I'd like a job to do with my time. And I'll be around my two children. That is a good idea to work there."
Veldheer is tall and strong，and doesn't look like a usual cook. His working style（风格）is different from others. He doesn't make usual meals like pizzas or hamburgers. He uses his interest in exercise science and nutrition（营养）to make healthy and delicious meals for the students.
To make the meals better，he asks students for ideas. Then he makes some changes（变化）. It's not easy work，but Veldheer does his best to make the lunch special and delicious. The students love him and they are happy to taste his new food.
No. 15 Middle School is a very good school. Here are five teachers. Students like them best in the school. Let's take a look at what they look like.
Sara is a maths teacher. She has long curly hair. She wears glasses. Her eyes are big, her nose is small and her mouth is small too.
Peter teaches history. He has short curly hair and a round face. He doesn't wear glasses. Peter is good to his students. He always talks to his students with a smile on his round face.
Tom is an art teacher. He has a small nose, big eyes and a big mouth. His hair used to be long and curly, but now his hair is short and straight. That makes him look good.
Cathy is a very beautiful English teacher. She is tall and she has long curly hair. Her eyes are always full of love for her students.
Betty is a thin woman teacher. She has short straight hair and she doesn't wear glasses. She doesn't look like a music teacher, but she is students' favourite music teacher in the school.
① She is tall. ② She is thin. ③ She wears glasses. ④ She has straight hair.
Helen wants to find a job, so on a sunny morning she starts to dress herself up. Soon she has a new look. She has long curly brown hair and wears a white T-shirt and blue jeans. She looks tall and beautiful.
When she walks in the street, she finds a big whiteboard in front of a shop. There is a notice on it—"A worker wanted in our shop". She goes into the shop. The owner meets her. He asks Helen some questions and she answers them well. Then the man says, "OK, you can get the job. Please come to work next Monday." Helen is so happy and asks, "How much will you pay me?" The man answers, "In the first three months, I'll pay you 400 dollars every month. Then I'll pay you 50 dollars more from the fourth month." "Great! I'll come and work here three months later then," Helen says happily.
Hi，guys，let me share my favorite story with you.
It's the story of Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan was not（像） other girls.She loved to （练习） with her father's sword（剑）. One day，some soldiers came to her （村庄）. It was a small one with only about three （百） people. " One man in every family has to be a soldier," they said. Mulan（担心） father was too old and her brother was too （幼小的）. That night，Mulan dressed up as a man. She jumped onto her horse and (骑) off. In the army，she was an （优秀的） soldier. The war ended twelve years later. "Mulan？Is that you？" her father asked （激动） . Mulan cried，"Yes，Father! I'm （回来）!"
They were happy to see each other again.
Being safe (安全的) is important to students. What do you have to do in a new place?
you go out, remember the three "W"s: Always tell your parents WHERE you are going, WHO you are going with and WHEN you will get back home.
Make sure you know where your home is and your telephone number is.
Say "No" loudly if someone wants (make) you feel unhappy.
Shout loudly and run away if someone makes you go with (he) or lets you do the things you don't like.
Some strangers (陌生人) look very (friend), but never talk to them and never take gifts from them. If you do, you'll be great danger.
If you get (lose) in a place, be careful of whom you ask for help. Ask a policeman or someone with child for help.
You may think it's not easy to keep safe. if you follow these (rule), you will be safe.
Yours,
Mike
Eyes are very important to us . Everyone wants to have bright （明亮的） eyes, but many children don't know how to protect （保护） them. More and more children wear glasses before going to middle school. Here are some ways to protect our eyes .
