②Happy: A dog that is happy and excited to see you will look at you and wags its tail, or it will run around quickly in circles. Some happy dogs will jump up on you.
③Scared(害怕的): A scared dog acts differently from a happy one. A frightened dog puts its tail down between its legs. Or it lays its ears back to head. Some dogs growl(咆哮) to show it is afraid. Others try to hide.
④Submissive (顺从的):Rolling over generally means the dog is happy and being submissive. In fact, the dog is saying, "You're the boss." It taps you with a paw or places its head on your leg. It also might look at you and howl.

People have told stories about Robin Hood for more than 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends(传说), Robin was quite smart and had a playful sense of humour. He loved playing jokes and tricks on people.
"Pick a card, any card!"
The stories say that Robin Hood was a skilled archer(弓箭手) and he always carried a bow and arrow.
"Ha ha, too easy!"
He wore green clothes and a hat with a green feather. He lived in Sherwood Forest with a group of outlaws(逃犯), known as his' Happy Men'. The group included Friar Tuck, "Mmm. yummy!" Little John, who was unusually tall, "Little is just my nickname!" , and Robin's true love, Maid Marian." Take that!"
Sherwood Forest was a royal(皇家的) hunting forest near Nottingham in England. Most people thought that forests were dangerous places to go. People travelling through the forests were often robbed by outlaws.
"Your money, please, my Lord!"
"Oh no, it's Robin Hood!"
The stories say that Robin Hood only took money from rich people so that he could give it to people who needed it. So he became famous for‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor'.
"Here you are, my dear."
"Oh, thank you, Robin!"
The Sheriff(郡长) of Nottingham was Robin's arch-enemy. It was the sheriff's job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer.
"What's that? Is that Robin Hood?"
The Sherlff of Nottingham tried to catch Robin Hood, but never succeeded.
"Oh no, not again!"
Centuries ago people loved to tell each other stories of Robin Hood. Later he became a famous character in books, and nowadays Robin is still a well-loved hero in books, theatre, TV and films.

①I never loved soccer. Not because I didn't find it interesting, but because I never understood the game. Quite silly if you asked me! Two teams kicking a ball into a giant net. In the 90 minutes they did this, I could read through an interesting book!
②I was a disappointment(失望) to my father. He even gave me a football with Pele's name on it for my birthday. Funny looking thing. It was in the gift paper and there was a card that read"Happy birthday, Xolisa, love from Mum and Dad" . I put the ball, still in its gift paper, on my study table just to look at.
③One day, my new friend came to visit."Don't you go out to play?" he asked."No!" I answered as quickly as I could. He rolled his eyes and fixed them on the football on my study table."Whose is that?" he asked excitedly."Mine, " I said. He reached for it. He took off the paper and bounced the ball all over the place."Come, let's go. We'll play outside with this!" I nodded. It was my ball so I followed him! I left my book on the bed.
④I had no idea what I had to do standing in the middle of the field. I just stood there looking at my new friend as he played ha ppily with my ball. He kicked the ball to me. I didn't know what to do. I picked up the ball and ran with it."Kick it at me!" he screamed from across the field. So l placed the ball near my feet and kicked it as hard as I could. It was a bad kick and the ball hit the girl standing in front of me. How embarrassing! Luckily it didn't hurt her!
⑤Soon, other kids joined us. Everyone quickly got into two teams. I didn't know the rules then, but watching others and running just to keep up in the game. I quickly leamed. I didn't kick a goal, but that didn't matter.
⑥To my surprise, I enjoyed the experience even the sweat and the mud. Afterwards, I dribbled(颠)the ball all the way home. When Mum saw me she could hardly speak. Then she smiled and said, "Take off those shoes here, mister. I don't want mud in my house!" I ran inside, hopping(双脚跳) all the way to the bathroom.

If a person wants to be a gentleman, are there any rules on his words and actions? What should a gentlemen pay attention ? Let's find out the answers from Confucius, one of the greatest (teacher) in ancient China
In the West, some people believe that how someone says something is (important)than what he says , Confucius didn't think so He believed that gentlemen should choose their words (careful), even if that may make people feel bored
Confucius believed that etiquette(礼仪) is important words should follow etiquette But he also (put) forward his idea of what gentlemen should do: Work hard He said that gentlemen should not be lazy and need to focus(集中注意力) on their study and work to improve (them)

Speaking English is not only about using the right words and correct grammar, you also need to understand the culture(文化). Here are several important suggestions for you when speaking English in the United States.
*Important Things to Remember
Americans have trouble understanding foreign accents(口音). It means both of you need more time to understand each other.
Try to be polite. Use last names with people you do not know. Always use" Ms." when greeting women.
*Conversation Advice
Talk about places. Americans love to talk about places. When speaking to a stranger, ask him where he comes from and then say something about that place.
Talk about work. It is usual for Americans to ask" What do you do?" It's not thought to be impolite(as in some countries) and it is a popular topic of conversation between strangers.
Talk about sports. Americans love sports! When speaking about football, most Americans understand it as" American football", not soccer.
*Be careful of sensitive(敏感的) topics
Some Americans are sensitive to other cultures and ideas. So be careful when giving ideas about race(种族), religion or other sensitive topics.
