Kathy and Polly were friends but they liked playing tricks on each other.
One day Kathy met Polly in the street. She said, “Hi, Polly. It’s good to see you.”
“How can you see me when I’m not here?” Polly asked.
“What do you mean, you’re not here?” Kathy asked. “Of course you’re here.”
“No, I’m not.” Polly said. “and I’ll bet you ten dollars that I can prove I’m not here.”
“Alright,” said Kathy. “Ten dollars. Now prove you’re not here.”
“Easy,” Polly said, “Am I in Hong Kong?”
“No,” said Kathy.
“Am I in Paris?”
“No,” said Kathy.
“If I’m not in Hong Kong and I’m not in Paris,” Polly said, “then I must be somewhere else. Right?”
“Right,” said Kathy. “You must be somewhere else.”
“Exactly.” said Polly. “And if I’m somewhere else I can’t be here, can I? Ten dollars, please.”
“That’s very clever, Polly,” Kathy said, “but I can ‘t give you ten dollars.”
“Why not?” asked Polly. “We had a bet.”
“Certainly we had a bet,” Kathy said, “but how can I give you ten dollars if you’re not here?”
And with a laugh she walked away.

Science Night |
| It’s almost time for Science Night. I need a partner. Who should I ask? I have three friends who all want to help. How can I choose just one for the task? |
| My best friend Jule is fun to be around. But she’s as chatty as a bird. When she starts to talk-Just watch out! I can’t get in a single word. |
| Still, that might work for Science Night. She’d show our project to the crowd. Jule’s voice would boom out（发出低沉的声音）like a drum. I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud! |
| And then there’s Dan, who’s really shy. But wise as an owl-he’s so smart! He’d help with the thinking for the job. He wouldn’t talk, but he’d do his part. |
| But what about Shel, who’s good at art? He paints and draws and sculpts so well. Our project would look great-no doubt! I’m sure I should be asking Shel. |
| How can I choose just one from three? I need them all! I’m feeling sick. I’m as dizzy（晕眩的）as a spinning top（陀螺）. When trying to choose, I just can’t pick! |
| But wait-why not ask them all to help? A group of four is better than one. I’d love to work with all my friends. In such a group, we’d have such fun! |
| The work could be shared by four of us. By me and Shel and Dan and Jule. We’d fit together like puzzle（拼图）pieces. And take the grand prize in the school! |

【推荐2】Below are some ideas by the English children. They emailed about how to help Africa (非洲) . Which do you think is the best?
I think being healthy is the most important thing. We should use the money first to clean water and to help people keep healthy. Robin. 16. Birmingham I think the most important thing is to improve (提高) the education (教育) of the African countries. There is an old saying. “If you give a man a fish, you will give him food for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you will give him food for lifetime.” We need to help people to help themselves, not just to give money at the problem when it happens. Rebecca, 15, Liverpool Some people seem to give a lot more money when there is something bad. It’s good for them to do so, but everyone should give a small part of their salary (工资) to charity (慈善). If everyone does that, it will make a big difference. Mary, 14, Startford Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the best answer. I think these countries need a good government (政府). Bethany, 16, Newcastle The best thing we can do is to send people like engineers, doctors an teachers to help the people to help themselves. Robert,16, Cardiff |
