Little Mary is a good girl. She began to go to school last year and now she’s in Grade 2. Her home is not far from the school, but she is often late for class because she watches TV and listens to the music in the evening and goes to bed very late. So she can’t get up on time in the morning.
This term Mr. White, Mary’s uncle, works in her school. He teaches Grade 2 history. He is very strict, of course, with Mary, too. He often tells Mary to keep the school rules and come to school on time.

Her uncle is waiting for(等待) her at the school gate. “You’re ten minutes late for the first class.” Mr. White is very unhappy. “Why are you often late for class?” “Every time when I get near school, I always see a sign(标志).It says “SCHOOL—GO SLOW!(慢行)”said Mary.

【推荐1】In Jewish （犹太人） history, King Solomon is considered to be the wisest man who ever lived. There are many stories about the wisdom of King Solomon. Here's one of them.
One day two women came before the King. They carried with them a little baby, which was set down on the floor, at the foot of Solomon's throne （宝座）.
One of the women said "Five days ago I gave birth to a child. This woman and I live in the same house, and three days later she also gave birth, but that same night her child died, and at midnight she arose and, while I was sleeping, took my son away from me, and laid her dead child in its place. When I awoke in the morning I thought at first that my son was dead, until I realized that it was not my child."
"No," interrupted the second woman, "she is lying, my lord, she is lying! The living child is mine and the dead is hers!" "No," cried the first woman, wildly. "No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine."
King Solomon raised his hand for silence. "One of you says 'my child lives and yours is dead', and the other says 'your child is dead and my child lives'. There is a simple way to resolve the matter, bring me a sword."
A sword was brought, and the crowd waited to see what the King would do. "Very well," he said, "cut the child in half, and give them each half." The first woman turned pale. She said in a trembling voice. "Give her the child. I beg you, do not kill it." But the other woman's face remained hard. "Let it be neither mine nor yours," she said, "divide it as the King has ordered." Then Solomon arose, and pointed to the first woman. "The child belongs to her," he said. "Give her the child, and do not kill it. She is its mother." Word of this judgment spread throughout Israel, and people marveled （感到惊讶） at the wisdom of the King.
The lesson of this story is rather simple. It is easy to tell the people who really care: they are willing to give up their half in order to keep the whole alive. In short, sometimes insisting on getting your fair share is still a losing strategy.

【推荐2】Once a man’s ship broke into pieces on a small, lonely island. There was no one living on this island, so he hoped that someone could come to save him. Every day he watched the sea, but no ships ever appeared. The man grew sad.
He thought he should do something to save himself. He built a little house out of wood to live in. But one day, after looking for food, he arrived home to find his little house on fire. The smoke rose to the sky. And everything was lost. He was full of sadness and anger. “God, how could you do this to me?” he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship. The ship was nearing to the island. It had come to save him.
“How did you know I was here?” the man asked these people. “We saw your smoke signal,” they answered.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because hope is at work in our lives. Remember, next time your little house is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that brings better luck.

【推荐3】Flow like the river of change
Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, ‘‘That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
1. The little stream aimed to reach __________.| A．the forest | B．the ocean | C．the desert |

| C．she wasn’t able to fly | D．she wouldn’t give up what she was |
| A．evaporating into the breeze | B．forming a river |
| C．disappearing into the sand | D．changing her nature |
| A．The road to success is not always easy and smooth. |
| B．Whatever others say, we should always be ourselves. |
| C．To succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary. |
| D．We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream. |

David walked down the street. The sun was setting. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to first return his sister's books to the library on the way to Jim's house. In his mind, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. But he had never set foot inside a public library. He planned to just leave the books in the return box outside the door , but it was locked (锁). So he had to go inside to return them. David walked inside the building a few minutes before the closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the restroom, he would be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the restroom. The library lights were turned off. He was locked--in a library. David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. He looked for a light and found a little lamp on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a large piece of paper. It read, "I'm locked inside. Please call for help!" He put it on the glass window on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself. He was surprised to find that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on a desk, he picked it up and began to read. Then something unexpected happened. For a moment, David felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.

3. The lights were off when he got out of the restroom.

It was break, and Mrs. Ford’s class was playing soccer. Emma kicked the ball hard and it landed in an old park next to the school. Yuki ran to get it, but she fell over an old tire and hurt her knee.
“Mrs. Ford, that old park is awful! No one could play there without getting hurt. Maybe we could fix it up,” said Yuki.
Mrs. Ford sighed (叹气). “I think it would cost at least $11,000. The school can’t pay for it.”
“We could have a school sale to get some money!” shouted Emma.
All the children and teachers thought it was a good idea. They held the school sale on Sunday. Each class had a booth. Some booths had games and prizes. One class sold hot dogs. One class painted people’s faces. Everyone had a great time.
On Monday, Mrs. Ford’s class added up the money from the school sale.
“Oh, no!” Yuki said. “We only made $316!” No one spoke. A few children sighed.
Then the headmaster Mr. Peter came. A reporter from a TV station was with him. After knowing that the children didn’t make enough money, he made the school on the news that night. The reporter said, “Viewers, I know you care about the kids. We are short of money. But we could help fix up this park in other ways. Please think about it.” The whole town learned about the park.
The next week, Mr. Peter came to the classroom and asked Mrs. Ford to bring her class out to the parking lot. The children could not believe what they saw! Several trucks from different stores arrived one by one and brought all the things they needed. That weekend, children, teachers and parents fixed up the park together.
After a week, the park was ready to open. When asked to name the park, Mrs. Ford’s class chose “Rainbow Park”.
“Rainbows are made up of lots of different colors,” Yuki told the reporter. “A lot of different people made this park. It’s like a rainbow.”
Mrs. Ford smiled. “We may not have enough money, but we have lots of caring people!”

【推荐3】Love is a two-way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced," Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!"When the boy started making good on his word(履行诺言), the father shouted, "Andrew, don't do it now. I'm too busy!"The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said,"You can finish later." The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, " Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!"But the boy didn't'. Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote, "If only(要是……该多好)I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting." Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a "NO" and it can leave a scar(伤痕).If we don't receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.

Medical experts (专家)say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short time in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities.The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure(压力).
Some western companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase (提高) the amount of work that a person can do.
Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last (持续) no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.
