3 . A farmer lost an expensive gold watch in the barn(谷仓) on the farm. He looked for it everywhere but couldn’t find it. So he put a notice on the gate of the farm: Whoever finds the gold watch will get 100 dollars from me. People tried their best to look for the watch in order to get the money. However, the barn was too large and the straw(草) in the barn was too thick. It was getting dark and they were still unable to find it, so they gave up the 100 dollars one by one.
But only a small boy still kept on looking for it. He had nothing to eat the whole day. To solve the family problem, he hoped to find the gold watch and let parents, brothers and sisters have a full meal.
The night was already getting late, the boy was also tired. He was lying in the straw to have a rest when he heard a strange “tick-tick”. He held his breath at once, listened carefully, and followed the sound. He found the watch and got the 100 dollars.

4 . Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women have jobs are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.

6 . When you like your teachers, it's easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks. When you consider your teachers as friends, you'll certainly have more respect for them. When your teachers consider you to be a friend, they'll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way. So a good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very pleasant place. Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers.
If you have any questions about that subject, ask them. Show them that you're interested in their subjects. That will make them notice you. But never ask questions that you already know the answers to. If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions, they might think that you're not actually trying to learn, but only trying to make an impression (印象).
You may also talk about non-school subjects with your teachers. When you see one of your teachers in the hall, greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie. That way you'll show that you consider him/her as a friend. Some teachers don't like to have friendly relationships with students, but most of them are happy to chat with their students. After a while, they may start to talk with you about non-school topics in the classroom.
The rest is totally up to you. It is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers. If you want to be friends with your teachers, just treat them as friends, but don't forget that no matter how good friends you are, they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.

7 . Jack London was a famous writer. He was born on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California. His family was so poor that Jack had to leave school to make money at an early age. As a result, he had little education as a child. He worked hard in many different jobs-working as a paper boy, a sailor, and a miller. Though he had to work long hours at these jobs, London spent all his free time on books, especially those travel and adventure books borrowed from the library. He travelled to Japan and Korea in 1893. These trips made London decide to educate himself and change his life. He returned to school, quickly completed high school and entered the University of California. After only one term, however, London gave up his studies and travelled to Alaska in 1897 in search of gold, but he failed as a gold miner.
Though unsuccessful, the trip to Alaska provided ideas for his career as a writer. Once back in California, London decided to work as a writer. He bought a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day, changing his Alaska adventures into short stories and novels.
In 1903, he became famous all over the country after he published the popular novel The Call of the Wild. He soon became the highest paid writer in the US. During his career, he wrote more than a million dollars. Several of his novels, including The Call of the Wild(1903), The Sea Wolf(1904), The White Fang(1906), have become American most famous novels. People can always get encouragement and ideas about life from his works. To Build a Fire, for example, tells the story of a man who fought against the extreme cold to live through the Alaska winter.
Jack London was a great writer in the history of literature. His works have been translated into different languages and are still popular all over the world. However, he was not a happy man. In poor health, he killed himself in 1916.

9 . Sometimes school life is very interesting for children, but sometimes it’s hard for them. Then as parents, you can help them to learn.
Sometimes your children may not like reading, then you must help them with their reading. You can keep good books and newspapers in the house. Let them see you reading. But how to help them? Take them to visit the library. Let children read to you, and talk about the books with them. What is the book about? What will people in the story do next?
After a day, your children become very tired. They may like watching TV and don’t do their homework. Then you should teach them how to use time. How long can they watch TV every day? What time should they get up and go to school? When should they do their homework and go to bed? You must teach them to do the right things at the right time.
Children may think school life is boring. It’s time for you to do something. You can talk with your children and listen to them. You can talk with them about their teachers and classmates. Listen to their interesting things or difficult subjects at school. You can also visit the school or talk with teachers on the phone.
