When I was a boy, I was a football fan（迷）. I played football with some other boys in the backyard all the time. My mom was worried that I would get ill in the hot summer.
One day my brother gave me a new football. I came into the yard and played it excitedly. But suddenly, the ball flew through the window and nearly hit my dad. Dad said nothing. He took my football and cut it in half.
I didn't cry because I knew how terrible my mistake was. I didn't expect to get another football. But to my surprise, Dad bought me another one the next month and told me to be more careful. I was really thankful for my father's forgiveness (宽恕). He showed me that even when I made a mistake, he still loved me and gave me another chance（机会）.
Parents always give us their love and forgiveness. We should always give our love and forgiveness to them, too.
Bob is a man from the USA. He is 76 years old and lives with a dog called Kelsey. A few days ago, when he went out alone to collect wood, he fell down and hurt his neck. It was a snowy day. The temperature was around -4℃. For only a few meters, Bob was just wearing a shirt and shorts when he went outside. He lay in the snow for about 14 hours. Thanks to his dog, he didn't die. The dog kept him warm through the night and barked (狗叫) for help.
"I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter mile away. It was 10:30 p.m., but Kelsey came, " said Bob.
Kelsey kept Bob warm by lying on the top of him, and kept him awake by licking (舔) his hands and face.
"She kept barking for help but never left my side. She kept me warm and awake (醒着). By morning my throat was sore and I couldn't shout for help. But Kelsey didn't stop barking. I knew I shouldn't give up because it was my hope to live."
Bob's neighbor finally found him after hearing Kelsey's barking and called 911. When Bob arrived at the hospital, his temperature was below 69 °F. Normal body temperature is 98.6 °F. The doctor said, "I think his dog really help him and save his life. He is very lucky."
① Called 911. ② Kept him warm.
③ Kept him awake. ④ Barked for help.
Who would win in as a competition to remember numbers, a chimp (猩猩) or a teenager? In fact, scientists agreed that the chimp did better than the teenager in this competition.
Do you still remember last year's summer holiday? When you think back on it, you might think of the night you spent watching the concert of Langlang. But how do you store these things in your mind? By using your memory(记忆). Memory is our ability（能力） to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. When something happens, our brains （大脑） save the important information and put it in our memory.
Scientists say that there are different kinds of memory — short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. Long-term memory means the meaningful information you try hard to keep in your mind. People start to forget things just after they learn them. They learn about something one day, but have forgotten half of it the next day. A week later, they remember just a third of what they learnt. So remember to go over your lesson after you learn it.
Scientists agree that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it. But one thing is for sure, if you remember things with different ways together, you can get a better result. So try imaging pictures with English words, and at the same time listening to tapes of the same words. Maybe studying English won't be a difficult thing.
Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, " Friends are God's way of looking after us. "
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to make friends. Sally says finding friendship （友谊） is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and look after it to make it grow.
First you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you.
To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your happiness. But things can't be always happy. Even the best friends have fights. You can talk to him or her. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.Say what you have done wrong and why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.
A. A good friend can help you study harder.
B. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend?
C. Tell him or her how you are feeling in your letter.
D. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
E. A good friend should be kind and a good listener.
