One afternoon, Einstein was walking home from work. At the same time, a 12-year-old girl was walking home from school. They were soon walking side by side. The girl looked at him in surprise from time to time.
"Pardon me," the girl said, "but you look just like Albert Einstein. "
"That's because I am Albert Einstein!" Einstein said.
"I don't believe you," the girl said. "Everyone knows that Einstein is a genius (天才). But you're wearing your sweater backwards (反面), so you can't be very clever. "
Einstein began to laugh. "You're the first person to be so honest with me," he said to the girl. "I'm happy to hear someone tell me the truth about my look. "
After that day, the girl often went to visit Einstein's house after school. One afternoon, the girl's mother went to visit Einstein. She asked him why he spent so much time with her daughter.

Everyone has worries. How do you deal with (处理) your worries? There is always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no use and it can't solve your problems. Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you worry most about grades, ask yourself these questions:
◆Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
◆How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?
◆Do I have a good learning environment?
◆Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight with your friend, you might write down all the things you could do－write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things to do, you could choose one thing that may get your friend back.
You can ask for help when you're worried. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends and teachers.
Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource .
Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless (无限的) and that we might be running out of it.
Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.
But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.
People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic (立方) meters of sand to build.
If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam (越南) may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.
Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.
