A
A gentleman once advertised(登广告)for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he in a short time chose one, and sent all the other boys away.
“I should like to know," said a friend, "on what ground you chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation(推荐信)with him.”
“You are mistaken,”said the gentleman, "he had a great many: —
“He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly(井然有序的).
"He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was
"He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully c恭敬地); showing that he was polite.
"He lifted up the book which I had purposely (故意地) laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.
"And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest (谦逊的 ) .
"When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.
"Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do; and the things that I can discover a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, is worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring.”

It seems that school children all over the world complain (抱怨) about their school food. What do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries?
Japan
High schools have dining rooms. They serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and vegetables. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.
United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one third of the daily amount (总量) of necessary nutrition (营养), such as, vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium (钙).
Australia
Meat pies, sausage rolls (香肠卷) and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the country pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to appear on school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red labeled c标注) foods, including cookies, chocolate and soft drinks. Is served only twice a week. Healthier green labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available every day.
South Africa
Most of South African schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at l; 30 p. m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students. As a result, it has caused a rise in obesity c肥胖) among children. But as more people began to realize that being too fat may cause different kinds of serious illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.
We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail (细节) of all the events in her daily life.
Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory ( HSAM,超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would forget with in (在......以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.
"I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old,” she said. " That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that every day, what the weather was like and so on.”
Rebecca can also re—experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly "taste” it.
However, sometimes her memories prove (证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. "When I relive (再体验) memories, the feelings return, too,” Rebecca said. "For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee. "
"At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on, she added. "1f it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep. "
Bullying (欺凌) is doing things to hurt other people. It is a serious problem at school.
Miah—now a 22-year-old girl, still (remember) how she was bullied in junior high school. "They kicked me, put sticks in my hair and took money from me. Even worse, I (make) to eat rubbish. I never (forget) those moments. "
Miah is not the only case. I saw another bullying situation when I was a student. Some students bullied a handicapped (智力低下的) girl every day —hitting, pushing, and kicking her. They just enjoyed (do) it. The girl didn't realize that people (hurt) her. She couldn't even tell the teacher. The situation lasted for a long time.
Bullying at school is getting worse, so, many people (try) to start anti—bullying(反欺凌) programs. Students in many schools have already taken actions. They (create) anti—bullying clubs. Many students have joined the clubs. They work with teachers to show students how to stop bullying. Some other programs have proved to be successful, too.
In Wales, two girls came up with an idea to stop bullying on the school bus. They created a bus pass (乘车证) and made four rules for students: no bullying, no swearing(骂脏话), no smoking and no shouting. Whenever a student broke a rule, he would get a mark on his pass. When a student had four marks, he wouldn't be allowed to take the bus anymore. The bus pass idea worked. It (stop) bullying on the bus.
In Michigan, some students tried to stop bullying with friendship. They made DVDs. They gave the DVDs to students in their school (teach) them how to be good friends. This idea worked, too. After that, there was less bullying at their school.
School programs like these (help) bullies learn to behave properly and they can also help prevent school bullying. I think it will come to a stop if everyone does something.
FAJTHFUL(忠诚的)TO DEATH
Some time ago, a fire broke out(爆发) in a building late at night. Nearly all the families were s inside the house. After the firemen came, they rushed into the burning building and saved the people to the safe p.
The crowds thought a the people were safe. But it was not so. Two little orphan (孤儿) girls were still asleep alone at the very top of the building, in a small room. N thought of them. Luckily, they lived with a dog.
The dog tried to wake them up, but f. He ran to the window and barked(吠叫) loudly for help. B no one noticed him. Then he climbed down the ladder (梯子) and tried to pull a fireman to the ladder. The fireman kicked him away, thinking he was mad. Then the dog ran to a fireman, jumped on him, ran to the ladder, barking all the time and looking back as if he was asking the fireman to follow him.
This fireman realized there must be someone in the little room, as the dog was acting so strangely. So he followed the dog u the ladder, there he saw the two girls and saved them.
Where was the d? A brave fireman rushed into the room to look for him and found him lying near the window, choked (窒息) with smoke. He brought him down with care, but he was already d. He had given his life for his friends. What a faithful friend!
