2 . At present, there are over 36,000 McDonald’s restaurants around the world, but it started out as a small one. The McDonald brothers, Dick and Mac, opened the first McDonald’s in San Bernardino, California in 1948. The menu included hamburgers, soft drinks, pie, French fries, milk, coffee and milkshakes. Ray Kroc, a travel salesman, visited the store and became interested in it. The brothers said that they wanted to open stores in the whole country, and then Kroc became their first franchise agent (特许经销商) in 1954. Kroc opened up a restaurant for McDonald’s on April 15, 1955. That store came with a lot of difficulties in the beginning.
After dealing with the difficulties, McDonald’s started to spread to all over the United States. The McDonald brothers wanted to show their Speed Service System-what we call fast food. Customers were served at large windows in the front of the building. The houses of the first restaurants were red and white with two golden arches(拱)on the side to make the roof look less flat.
The McDonald’s menu in 1977 shows how different its food choices are from today. What’s more, today McDonald’s have digital screens to show menus again and again.
In 1969 McDonald’s changed the style of restaurants. This change is found on the first McDonald’s in Moscow, Russia in 1990. Crowds line up outside to get their first taste of a Big Mac.
With billions of people served, McDonald’s has played an attractive role shaping international culture since its first restaurant opened.

After a very long wait, Mother and I were relieved to see our dog delivered 6 puppies! The sixth was the smallest and black and white. I named her “Precious”. I picked her up and laid her on top of the large pile of puppies, who were trying to suckle (吃奶). Mother dog immediately pushed Precious away from the rest of the group. She refused to recognize Precious as a member of her family.
“Something’s wrong,” said Mother.
I reached over and picked up Precious. My heart sank when I saw the little puppy had a cleft lip (唇裂)and could not close her little mouth. Precious would die because she could not suckle.
I purchased a syringe (注射器) and fed Precious by holding it. I did this every day and night, for more than ten days. The little puppy survived and learned to eat on her own as long as it was soft food.
Vacation was over and my new school life would begin. So I placed an ad for the puppies on the Internet. Within several days, all had been picked up by their new families, except Precious. I decided to keep her and give her an operation if my parents saved enough money.
That night at around seven thirty, Mother and I were eating supper when we heard a knock on the front door. When I opened the door, there was a lady with her son standing behind. After knowing the purpose of their coming, I explained to them there were no puppies left.
Just at that moment, Precious left in the bedroom began to bark (吠叫).
“My puppy! My puppy!” yelled the little boy as he ran out from behind his mother.
The boy ran past me as fast as he could, down the hall to where the puppy was still barking. Holding the puppy in his arms, he looked up at his mother and said, “Look, Mummy. They found homes for all the puppies except the pretty one, and it looks just like me!”

7 . A teacher placed three similar models (模型) of a man and a flexible wire (金属线) near them on a table. He then asked his students to examine the models and identify (识别) the one showing the best human nature. The students studied the models for a long time. One of them found that there were holes in the ears and mouth of every model. He introduced the flexible wire into the holes in each ear of the three models. They gave different results.
The wire introduced into either ear of the first model came out through its other ear. The wire that went through either ear of the second model came out through its mouth. The wire introduced into the ears of the third model entered the head but did not come out.
The first model shows an indifferent (漠不关心的) man. He hears much but does not keep anything in his mind. He fails to benefit from the words of others. The second model is of a talkative person who talks without thinking about everything he hears. He does not exercise any limit and so may talk unnecessarily and end in trouble. The third person gathers information from his surroundings but intelligently (聪明地) analyses the data and speaks out only what is essential and true. He will not hurt the feelings of others by his words. He will be acceptable to all.
It is foolish to speak badly of others. If you are sensible, you will keep quiet. Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind of words that builds up and provides what is needed so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.

8 . A Great Ski Resort
Only 95km or about 90 minutes from Verona Airport, Folgaria is a mid-sized resort (度假胜地) in northern Italy that is famous for being in a snow pocket.

In addition to bars, restaurants and a few small hotels, the community is also offering dog-sledding and mountain bikes.
