Charlie liked school, but he didn't want to line up to go into school. Mr. Tiffin's class lined up by 1 , always from tall to small. Charlie was at the back, every time.
One morning, Mr. Tiffin brought two orange pumpkins—One was big and the other was small.
"2 seeds are in a pumpkin? "Mr. Tiffin asked the class.
Robert sounded like he was 3 , "I guess the big one has more seeds!"
"Let's 4 them and see, "said Mr. Tiffin. Then he got the seeds out. Most students wanted to count the big one. Only Charlie chose the small one.
"See?" said Robert. "This big pumpkin has 340!"
"Well, there are 350 seeds in my pumpkin!" Charlie said and felt5 .
"You can 6 tell how many seeds are in a pumpkin before seeing its inside, "Mr. Tiffin said. "But there may be some clues* outside. "He told the students to 7 the pumpkins carefully.
"Charlie's has more lines, "Robert pointed out.
"Exactly, "said Mr. Tiffin. "For each line, there is a row of seeds inside. As a pumpkin grows, it gets more lines. Charlie's is small 8 it stayed on the vine* for a long time. "
When it was time to go home, Mr. Tiffin let the class line up, "small to tall this time. "
"Small things can have a lot 9 them. "Charlie smiled. Now he knew that being small could also be a good 10 . He went at the front confidently and left the classroom.
Lily joined in a project to ask the old about their lives and know their family stories in 2020. She asked her grandmother, Mrs. Hill about her past life. Here were her questions and notes.
Sometimes people may tell lies. When they tell lies, their hearts may beat fast, their hands or feet may shake badly, and scientists found that lying can be bad for brain.
Imagine you're late for class. The teacher asks why and you try to lie. So you say, "I picked up a book from the library. "Your teacher asks, "The book I told you to read last time?" If you say yes, the teacher might ask to see the book. So you might say, "No. "Now you have to think of a book title. You need make sure it's a book the library really has.
See? When you lie, the brain needs to work a lot more to keep it going. A part called the prefrontal cortex does the work, scientist Jennifer Vendemia told Science news. It also helps us remember, plan and solve problems. Using too much brainpower to lie means there's little for other things. It may stop you from doing other important work
Lying is even harder for young people, said Vendemia. That's because the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until age 25. So always remember: telling the truth can bring you an easy life and help your brain work better. Think twice before lying next time!
Bobbie said, "hush! What's that sound?"
"There, "said Peter, "the trees!"
As Peter pointed, the trees and rocks fell down to the railway with a loud noise. "Look at what they've made!" said Bobbie.
Suddenly, Peter stood upright. "Train 11:29 hasn't gone by here. We must tell the station about this, or there will be a train accident*. "
"Let's run, "'said Bobbie, and began.
But Peter shouted, "Come back! No time. The station is two kilometers away. It's past eleven. But if we had anything red, we could get down on the railway and wave it. "
"Our coats, "Bobbie cried, "they're red! Let's take them off. ""But, you're not going to tear* them, right?" Phyllis asked.
'Don't you see, Phil, "said Bobbie, "if we can't stop it, people on the train may die. "
Peter quickly made six flags*. He looked at the watch. "We've got eight minutes. "Each of them held two red flags and stood on the railway to get ready to wave. It seemed they'd been waiting for hours. Bobbie's hands became cold and she could hardly hold the flags.
Then came the train's sound.
"Wave!" said Peter, "when it gets close, step back but keep waving!" The train came along very fast.
"They don't see us! They won't! It's no good!" cried Bobbie. Her hands did not shake now. It seemed the train came on as fast as ever. It was very near now.
Peter dragged Phyllis back by her arm and shouted, "Stand back, Bobbie!"
But Bobbie cried, "Not yet!" She kept waving. The train looked big and the sound was loud. "Stop, stop, stop!" cried Bobbie. No one heard her. At least Peter and Phyllis didn't. But it seemed as if the train had一for it slowly stopped, not twenty meters from Bobbie, but somehow she couldn't stop waving.
