A farmer had a donkey and he usually took a rest after work with tying his donkey with a rope to a tree.

One day, the farmer forgot to take the rope. Then he decided to lie down, holding the donkey's ears to stop it running away. But in this way, the donkey didn't feel comfortable and the farmer wasn't able to have a rest e. An old man passed by and saw what happened. He s that the farmer should take the donkey to the place where it was tied every day. Even without a real rope, it would not run away. The farmer did what the old man said and then took a nap. When the farmer woke up, he was surprised to see the donkey standing in the same place. But the donkey drove him m as the donkey was not prepared to leave for home.

The farmer had no i what to do. Luckily, he saw the old man again. He ran up the told him the donkey's strange behavior. The old man laughed and said, "Though you p to tie up the donkey, did you untie it? Go and untie the imaginary rope." The farmer followed the advice and thanked the great mind for his help. Now he understood that his donkey was tied by its thoughts, not by the rope.

In our daily life, if we get used to some thoughts or bad habits and never manage to "untie" them, we will never make any progress.

Almost every day, we talk about how to keep healthy. But what is health? According to some research, "health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having proper weight. So what can we do to stay healthy?

Eat different kinds of food. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite food. That is bad for our health.

Drink more water and milk. Water is important to our bodies. Everyone should have about 8 glasses of water every day. Besides, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones. Milk is rich in it.

When we are eating, notice how our body feels. When our stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating just about 20% less than usual can be a great help. Eating too much can make us unhealthy and fat.

Limit screen time. What's screen time? The more time we spend on these activities, the less time we spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend less than 2 hours a day on screens.

B. So some kind of dairy product is a good choice.

C. Here are some tips you may follow.

D. It means how long we watch TV, use our phones, etc.

He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O'Neill called him "the true father of American literature". "Mark Twain is all of our grandfather," agreed William Faulkner, another Nobel winner.

Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you will find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined.

The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

Most importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of its old traditions.

Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical (批评的) points about the culture and the society of the US at the time. That's why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn't afraid to express his opinions, and he did so clearly.

For instance, Twain didn't like US wars abroad, and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900. He also believed strongly in women's right to vote in elections (选举) and gave a famous speech on the subject, called "Votes for Women", in 1901.

"Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young," Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well have been describing himself.

The Locked Trunk

One sunny Saturday morning, my best friend Ollie and I were helping his grandmother, Abuela, prepare for a rummage sale (旧货义卖) to raise money for the local homeless shelter (收容所). The garage was filled with dusty boxes and old furniture that Abuela had collected over the years.

As we carried a heavy box of books to Abuela's car, Ollie suddenly stopped and pointed to a large, rusty trunk in the corner. "Look at that!" he said excitedly. "It looks1!"

Abuela smiled. "That old thing? It's been here since before your parents were born. I've never been able to open it—the lock is stuck."

Ollie's eyes shined with2. "What's inside?" he asked.

"I honestly don't know," Abuela replied. "Most likely just a bunch of things we don't need anymore."

"But what if there's3?" I added. "Like gold coins or an old map!"

Abuela laughed. "Well, if you two can open it, you can keep whatever's inside."

Ollie ran to get his tool kit, determined to break the lock. "I bet I can4 this in two minutes flat!" he declared.

But two minutes turned into twenty, then two hours. We tried every tool— pliers, screw drivers, even a hammer—but the lock wouldn't move. Sweat dripped down Ollie's face as he complained, "It's no use. We have to5."

I shook my head. "What about that saying your parents love? ‘If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!'"

Ollie sighed. "Unless a magical key fairy appears, we're never opening this trunk."

Just then, Ollie's little siblings, Indi and Tex, arrived with a plate of cookies for the rummage sale. "Mom said to bring these," Indi announced.

Tex stared at the trunk. "Wow! Is that a boat?"

Indi giggled. "It's upside down! Let's turn it over and play pirates!"

Before we could stop them, they climbed onto the trunk, pretending it was a6 in a storm. "Ahoy! Shark attack!" Tex yelled, jumping up and down.

Suddenly, a screw popped loose and rolled across the floor. Ollie's eyes7. "That's it! We don't need to pick the lock—we can remove the hinges!"

With Tex and Indi's "help", we unscrewed the hinges and lifted the lid. Our hearts8—what treasure would we find?

But instead of gold, we saw…shoes. Dozens of old, polished shoes neatly stacked inside.

Indi wrinkled her nose. "Ew! Why would anyone save these?"

Abuela laughed. "These are old but classic! People will love them at the sale."

Sure enough, the9 sold quickly, raising more money than we'd expected for the shelter. Ollie grinned at me. "Not treasure, but still pretty cool."

Later, as we ate cookies, I realized something important: sometimes, trying the same thing over and over won't work. Like when I struggle with homework, staring at the page won't help—but asking for ideas or drawing a picture might.

Abuela patted my shoulder. "Life's full of locked trunks. The trick is knowing when to try a10 key."

And that, I decided, was the real treasure.

In a small village in China, there lived a boy named Ming. His dream was to find the lost treasure of his ancestors (祖先). His parents told him the treasure1 somewhere in the mountains near the village.

Ming decided to explore the mountains and set off2 some food and water. After3 for hours, Ming came across an old stone door. He found ancient paintings on the walls. They seemed4 a story about the lost treasure. Suddenly, he noticed a box covered with dust in a corner. He opened it5 and found a piece of paper with a message written in old Chinese.

The message said, "The true treasure is not gold or silver,6 the wisdom and courage within you." Ming didn't understand at first, but then he realized7 this was a test set by his ancestors. They wanted to see8 he had the wisdom and courage to face challenges and discover the true meaning of treasure.

9 Ming hadn't found any gold or silver, he had got something more valuable. The knowledge10 lies within oneself is the true treasure.

On his way back to the village, Ming met an old man who was lost11 the forest. He helped him find the way out. The old man was so12 that he wanted to give Ming a gift. However, Ming politely refused. He said that helping13 was its own gift.

When Ming returned to the village, he told his family he had found something14 than treasure. He said it was not material wealth (物质财富) but the wisdom and courage15 life's challenges. His story encouraged many villagers to be curious and brave, especially the young kids.
