    One day, while I was walking in the park, I noticed a little girl. Barefoot(赤脚的)and1, she was silent and did not say a word. She was2all the people going by. Everybody just passed by and did not pay any attention to3.

    The next day I went back to that park to see if the girl was4there. To my surprise, she was right there, sadly looking around. I began to5her, as at that time a park full of6was not a good place for small kids to play alone.

    I went towards the girl and7noticed that something was wrong with her back. A thought crossed my mind that maybe this was the reason why everyone was8her and did not try to help. I got closer and smiled to let her know that I was there to talk, to9I started with "Hello" and then sat down10her. The girl was very surprised,11, after a long look into my eyes, she replied,

"Hi". We talked and talked, so many hours passed by and12came. The park became silent and13Then I carefully asked the little girl14she was so sad and lonely.

    "I am different, that's why." was her15I agreed with her and smiled. "Yes, you are!" and then I16, "But you remind me of a sweet angel (天使), full of love."

    She slowly17up, smiled and said, "Really?" She nodded her head and18her wings, adding, "I am an angel." I was so19that I couldn't say a word. "Think of someone else besides yourself- that was the20of my job here." With these words, she disappeared into the sky.

    I'm a virus (病毒) for the common cold. It has been a long time since I infected (感染) humans last time. Today I tried to infect a boy in a primary school all day.

His name is Sam. I waited on his desktop, and when he touched the desk I jumped on his finger. Unluckily, Sam didn't touch his eyes, mouth or nose. Then, right after class, he washed his hands. Now I'm full of soap and sitting in a sink!

    This morning I jumped into the nose of Sam's best friend, Bill. Unluckily, the mucus (粘液) in his nose caught me. I thought it was over for me, when suddenly Bill sneezed while he was talking to Sam.

    I knew that would send me right into Sam's face! However, Sam quickly gave Bill a tissue, and Bill sneezed into that instead! Infecting people is harder than I imagined.

    I'm feeling very unhappy today. Some scientists caught my friend Harry and put him under a microscope. Harry is a flu virus and he's a dangerous little guy. Besides, Sam at all his vegetables today. He's exercising, ad he's getting eight hours of sleep every night. His body is too strong for me!

    Thursday, January 24th

    I tried to infect Sam again today, but he washed his hands five times and never touched his face! He also gave tissues to every student in his class who was sneezing. It's impossible to give him a cold! So I have to give up and I'm moving to another school.

    In the future, people may travel to Mars (火星) by water-powered spaceship! Today's spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at travelling long distances. These spaceships burn chemical fuels (燃料) and they are very expensive. Scientists say that a water-powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper. The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon.

    The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine (发动机) Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels (太阳能板) that heat water to a high temperature. Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars.

    Today's spaceships could not cay that much water But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to

    One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. These spaceships are made of a strong material. Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air. "Balloon" spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip. With the "Balloon" spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!

    Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost. The "Balloon" spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship. Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water.

    Long long ago, there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons. The couple wanted a daughter very much, and finally, they had a girl She was very pretty and her parents loved her very much. One day the father needed water for the child, so he sent the seven brothers to a well (井) in the forest to get it. Once there, though, the boys began to fight and the water jug (壶) fell into the well. The boys looked into the well and thought of their father. They were afraid to go home.

    Hours passed. "Where are those boys?" shouted the angry father. "They are probably playing a game and have forgotten about the water. I wish they were all turned into ravens (乌鸦) !"And when he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away. The father was shocked. "What have I done? he thought. But it was too late. He could not take back his words.

    Later, the girl grew up and discovered she had brothers. The story of their bad luck influenced her deeply, and she decided to find them. For years, she searched and did not stop. She made up her mind to find them. Finally, she found their home. To enter, she needed a special key made from a chicken bone, which she did not have. The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers. With it, she opened the front door and went inside. On a table, there were seven plates and seven cups. She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she accidently dropped a ring that her parents had given her.

    Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized it at once-it was his parents' ring. "I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free." At that moment, their sister ran o them, and suddenly the ravens were human again. The brothers kissed their sister and all eight of them went home together happily.

If you want to make your shoes look new, first, get out a toothbrush and some cleaning oil. Second, spray (喷) the oil on the shoes. Third, wash the dirt off with the toothbrush repeatedly while you are scrubbing (擦) . Finally scrub the shoes with a paper towel or clean cloth If you did a good job, your shoes should look as nice as when you first got them.

If you go to a dance party, you'll need to wear dress shoes. However, wearing dress shoes for a few minutes can be really painful. To solve the problem, you can bring a box of band-aids (创口贴) with you. When your feet hurt, put on those band-aids. The band-aids will create something that will reduce pain.

Golf shoes have sharp metal spikes (鞋钉) , while bowling shoes have almost no spikes a tall Both these shoes help players perform. Besides looking silly golf shoes and bowling shoes do not have soles (鞋底) that are fit for street use.

Are you wearing shoes? Why? People wear shoes for many reasons. The fist and most important reason is to protect their feet. Shoes keep people from hurting their feet while walking on hard roads. Some people wear special shoes designed to help them play a game. Some people wear expensive shoes to look fashionable.

    Music helps us exercise—but why does it have this effect? Experts say there are two main reasons.

The is simple: music takes our attention away. When we listen to a song we like, our brains focus on the music. For example, After we exercise 20 minutes, our body might be tired. But we may not feel this immediately we are listening to music. So we can exercise a little longer.

    Music also makes us want to move. When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat. A positive song also puts us in a good mood, so we feel much .This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer. Music with a quick and continuing beat is good for exercising. "But the music shouldn't be too fast, " Dr. Costas, a famous sports expert. In general, songs in the range of 120-140 beats per minute (BPM) are the best.

    Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was  (interest) in studying medicine at university.

    It was a month that changed my life. I  (introduce) to a world that is very different to mine in so many ways. I was shocked at how poor so many  (family) over there are and how difficult their lives can be. But I was also surprised at how positively people spend  (they) daily lives.

    The way they come together and help each other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten. I think many of us don't realize lucky we are. My work in the hospital was hard. Not only did I spend a lot of time cleaning floors, but  I got to spend some time looking after the patients. And I got the chance  (talk) to some doctors and ask them about the job. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital,  none of them changed my mind about being a doctor  fact, they only made me more determined to do medicine!

    When I finish, I know  I'm going to do I want to work for an international organization like the Red Cross. I can't wait to get started.
