After school on Friday, when Nick got home, he saw Grandpa’s car! Nick smiled and walked quickly up the front sidewalk. He reached the door and said hello to Grandpa. Then Mom called from the kitchen. “Put away your schoolbag first.” Nick’s smile disappeared（消失）. “Oh, no,” he said, “I forgot to bring my schoolbag home.” Mom was angry. “Nick, you forgot your schoolbag again! You need to be more careful!”

Grandpa turned to Nick and winked（眨眼）, “I’m afraid you inherited（遗传）your forgetfulness from me, Nick. Your grandma used to call me ‘Forgetful Jones’”. Grandpa’s words made Nick feel a little better. But he still felt mad at himself.

After dinner, Grandpa suggested going for a walk. As they walked around the corner, Grandpa said, “I’ll tell you a little secret, Nick. We’re the same. We like to do things, make things and have fun! That’s why we sometimes forget things.” “But Grandpa, how did you stop forgetting? How can I stop forgetting?” Nick asked. “Well,” said Grandpa, “I know a few tricks. I use them to help me remember important things. For example, it’s important to turn off my car lights when I park the car. So every time I get in the car, I put my notebook in my lap（大腿）.”

“I saw it!” said Nick. “I always wondered why you did that!” “Now you know my secret,” said Grandpa, “It’s a simple little trick, but it works. Why don’t we put our heads together and come up with a schoolbag—remembering trick?”

Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers.

The first story is from Ray. “I hates my cat, Tiger, because when I use my iPad, it takes my attention away. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn’t get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ‘What’s he up to?’ I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn’t realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn’t know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to call my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor.”

The second story is from Colin. “Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild ‘Mom’ parrot from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage. It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild parrots came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom’ parrot in the cage was soon hoping. But as she couldn’t fly, ‘Dad’ parrot built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to ‘Mom’ parrot. ‘Baby’ parrot would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily.”

After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should care for every life in the world.

There is a famous English saying“You are what you eat”，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you．Many experts(专家)useitto tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit．For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight．To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food．However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food．

“When we say some people‘sweet’，we mean they are kind and friendly to us．Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts，”said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team．“Taste is something we experience every day．What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste．”

In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character—whether，for example，they were soft-hearted or not．Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food．According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer．

In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t．For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on．

The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food．So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful．Next time，try some ice cream．

In our daily life, we always put our time into three jars (罐子). These would be the necessary (必要) tasks jar, the voluntary (自愿) tasks jar and the happiness jar.

Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This jar is filled with tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run well.

However, we often forget to fill the third jar − the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.

That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance (社交舞) class. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes more happily than when I entered. Playing music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week, I was happy to take part in an orchestra (管弦乐队) practice at my church (教堂). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.

Consider how to spend your time. Try to find ways to get a balance. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that we fill our happiness jar.
