We need some help
Sandy: Please help me. I am a girl from America. I can’t learn Chinese well. My Chinese teacher always speaks too fast. Many of my friends think Chinese is easy. But I don’t! I can’t get high marks(高分). Sometimes, I can’t understand what the teacher says in class. How I hope I can have a Chinese pen friend.
Jim: I am too short. I am only 1.4 meters tall. I like playing basketball, but they all say I can’t be a good basketball player. How can I be as tall as all my friends? Can short boys play basketball? I hope someone can teach me how to be a good guide(后卫).
Joan: I want to be a slim girl. Some of my friends say I am too fat. Is it because my parents are fat, too? Am I a pretty girl? When I see those slim girls, my eyes are green. I hope to know some ways to be slimmer.
Danny: I need friends. I am sad because I don’t have many good friends to chat with . I am not good at talking. And my face turns red when I am with many people. But I really want to have many friends. Can you tell me how to make friends with other children?

【推荐2】Many people believe that yellowing and wetness are the greatest enemy of stamps. In fact, stamps are afraid of not only wetness, but also light and dirty things. People protect their stamps in several different ways.
To protect stamps, we should never touch the stamps with our hands. This avoids moving dirty things onto them. Stamp tweezers (镊子) should be used in all conditions.
Stamps are printed things. The colour will slowly disappear if the stamps are put in the light for a long time. So we should not put stamps in the light for long. Direct sunlight must be avoided as well.
Wetness is an important problem for stamps. Some collectors will put stamps in separate plastic (塑料) bags. However, it is possible that some stamps have taken in some water from the air before they are put into the plastic bags. Stamps become yellow easily and rapidly after they take in wet air. To protect the stamps, some people also put the stamps into a special room which has a machine to keep the air cool and dry. However, not many people can afford that.
To keep stamps, stamp collectors usually put them under plastic covers. It is a common and simple way. This helps because the plastic cover keeps the stamps off the wet air. It also stops the fingersfrom touching the stamps.
Some collectors prefer to store stamps inside a plastic box with desiccants (干燥剂).However, we should take care not to let the stamps. touch the desiccants. On top of that, don't take your stamps out on a wet day.

That evening, the steamboat stopped at Louisville, where Lucy’s husband worked. When they shouted the name of the place, she put her coat between her bags on the sleeping child. Then she ran to the side of the steamboat, hoping to see her husband.
Suddenly, Haley took the baby and gave it to the buyer. “Don’t wake him up.” The man took the child and got off the steamboat.
When they left Louisville, Lucy returned to her seat.
“Lucy,” said the trader, “you know you couldn’t take your child down south. I sold him to a very good family that will take care of him better than you can.”
Lucy sat down. She looked calm.
Tom saw everything, and he was crying. He went to sit with Lucy, and tried to comfort her, but she didn’t want to listen.
Night came and everybody went to sleep. But something woke Tom up at midnight. He saw something black move quickly to the side of the boat, and he heard a splash (落水声) in the water. He got up and saw that Lucy wasn’t there.
The next morning Haley wrote her name in his accounts book under losses.
Haley started to trust Tom. At night Tom had to sleep in chains, but during the day he was free to walk around the boat. He often helped the workmen on the boat, and everybody liked him.
A rich man, St Clare was travelling with his daughter, Eva, who was about five years old. She was a beautiful child, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was always busy or running around, and Tom noticed her and thought that she looked like an angel.
She often went where the slaves sat in chains and looked at them with sad eyes. Sometimes she brought them food. She liked Tom and hoped her father could buy Tom.
Later that day, Eva moved too quickly on the side of the boat and fell into the water.
Tom saw everything and he jumped into the water immediately. He caught her and swam back to the boat. Eva was saved.
The next day, St Clare bought Tom at high price.
