【推荐1】It was a bright and sunny morning. Daniel woke up early and jumped out of bed, ready for a full day outside. He came to the kitchen and his mom made him his favorite pancakes.
Daniel ate his pancakes quickly and got dressed. When he opened the door, he felt a rush of warm air. He smiled at the sun. “Perfect hiking (远足) weather,” he thought.
Daniel loved the forest park. There were plenty of tall trees. If he walked far enough, he would reach a creek (小溪). When it was really warm outside, he could walk in the water to cool off.
The leaves were just beginning to grow on the trees after the cold winter. Daniel wandered (闲逛) for a bit. Suddenly, he saw something that wasn’t a rock or a leaf on the ground. When he got closer, he found a small injured bird between the fallen leaves. He looked around and didn’t see any other birds. Then, he took the poor bird home.
“Mom, I found a bird that’s hurt!” he told his mom as he ran through the door. “Let’s try to save it!”
Daniel’s mom looked carefully at the bird. She carefully picked it up and put it in a shoe box. “We’d better take it to the animal hospital,” she said.
Daniel agreed and they drove to the animal hospital right away. The doctor checked and treated it carefully. A few days later, the bird could stand up again. Under the good care of Daniel, it could finally walk and fly around. Daniel was so excited.

【推荐2】One beautiful winter morning. a little boy of 10 years old went to a grocery shop to make a telephone call. Clearly, he changed his tone(语气) of voice while speaking over the phone.

【推荐3】Have you ever cut your finger or scratched (划破) your knee while playing outside? Then you have probably used Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages (绷带), sticky strips with cotton pads that are placed over small cuts and burns. There were no Band-Aids until almost 100 years ago, when a man named Earl Dickson created them for his new bride, Josephine.
Mrs. Dickson loved to cook, but she often cut or burned herself while working in the kitchen. If she was at home alone, she did not have an easy way to cover her injuries by herself. This caused her husband to worry, so he came up with an idea.
Mr. Dickson worked for Johnson & Johnson, a company that made bandages, tape, and other materials for hospitals to use. Mr. Dickson placed a piece of hospital tape with the sticky side up on a table. Then he folded a cotton pad and put it in the center of the tape. Finally, he covered the entire bandage with a piece of fabric (织物) called crinoline so it would stay sticky. If his wife cut or burned herself, she could remove the crinoline and stick the bandage over the hurt area. Mrs. Dickson loved the sticky bandages.
Mr. Dickson showed the bandage to his bosses at Johnson & Johnson. They loved it too, and they quickly began selling the product.
At first, the sticky bandages did not have a name. Then in 1920, another Johnson & Johnson worker named W. Johnson Kenyon came up with a new word, “Band- Aids”. The word “band” was for the piece of hospital tape and “aid” for first aid or help for the person who was hurt.
Since then, Band-Aids have become famous all over the United States, and people of all ages have used them to cover small hurts.
