Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor(味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions' great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals(化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease.
No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating(刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes.
Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions：
Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes.
Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes.
Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes.
If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don't worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion's chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears "happy tears"．
① Cut the onion under running water.
② Use a fan to blow air over the onion while cutting.
③ Cover the onion with a piece of cloth as you cut it.
④ Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting.

Once upon a time，there was a man named Lazy. He wanted to have a big house and it took him over a year to build one. The house was so beautiful that all of his (neighbor) admired him very much.
But as time went by，his house started to have some problems. One day old neighbor went past it and said，"Your house is beautiful，but the grass in the yard is a bit overgrown. "Lazy answered (quick)，"I know，but it's OK. I (cut) it tomorrow. "
A few days later，a mailman came by with a letter for Lazy. The mailman said，"Sir，your house is wonderful，but the windows are a bit dirty. You can make it more wonderful by (clean) them. "Lazy replied reluctantly(不情愿地)，"I know，but it's OK. I will do that tomorrow. "
Weeks passed by. Lazy's yard was in a mess. The paint was falling down and the windows were covered with dirt. One day，his brother came over(visit) him. He was(surprise) at what he saw and scolded him angrily，"Lazy，I know why you're called Lazy. You're just your name！What have you done for your house？It could fall apart at any second！"
Just the next day，after a heavy rainstorm，Lazy's house fell down!
There are many Lazys around (we)．Are you lazy，too？Have you ever put off "something" to "tomorrow"，"next month" even "next year"？It's much better to just deal with things today than to wait until some imaginary(想象的) "tomorrow" that might not actually come.
