Where is Love? How can we find Love?
Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.
They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy(快乐)on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman,s son was also surprised at his mother,s pleasure and asked why.
“I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.”

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.

Fifty years later, there were 120 “Bow Street Runners”, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829 , the first Metropolitan(or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.

When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）.People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.

When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃).

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(军营).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.
“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”
Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”

The snow lasted until last Friday. I opened the window this morning and saw the sun  but I felt much colder.
“You’d better go to work on foot , dear,”said my husband,“It is dangerous for you to drive.”
I thought him right and agreed. It would take me about forty minutes to go my hospital. There was about an hour left, so I started, with a bag of sandwich for breakfast. In the streets there was thick snow and ice and the traffic was less than before and people walked carefully. Suddenly I saw a car going fast. The driver tried to pass the crossing before the lights turned red. Maybe he didn’t see two boys in the middle of the street. His car knocked down(撞倒)one boy and stopped just in front of the police box.
People crowded around the boy at once. I rushed out of the gathering crowd (聚集的人群)and was going to look him over. But a man pushed me aside and said,“Step back(向后退),please. I,ve had a course in first aid(急救).”
I had to stand and watch his ministrations(救助) for a few minutes. Then I said to him,“When you need a doctor, sir, I,m already here.”

If you come to London for the first time now, you,ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road, you,ll also see a lot of bikes because nowadays more and more people travel by bike.
There are a lot of reasons for this. First, it,s very cheap to use a bike, and it,s quick too. You often wait for a bus for half an hour. When the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the road that the bus moves very slowly. The underground train is quick but very expensive and often crowded.
I traveled to work by bus for about four years. I often arrived at work late and tired. Then one day, about two years ago, a workmate said,“I go to work by bike, why don,t we travel together?”
“Because my bike is old,”I answered,“and there are so many buses and cars on the road. I always feel frightened.”
“You needn,t worry about this,” said my friend.“If you follow me and we ride slowly, you,ll be fine.”
Although we went slowly, we arrived at work quickly. The bus ride took forty minutes and the bike ride took half an hour!
The next day I bought myself a new bike. Now I don,t feel afraid. I love cycling to work, and I feel fit and well.

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You must be unhappy because of it.  You don't want to work. You stay in bed feeling very sad.
What makes us ill?  It's germs.
Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope（显微镜）. They are very, very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we can see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in the air and dust（灰尘）. If you cut your finger, and if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs will go into your finger. Your finger will become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs will go into all of your body, and you will have pain everywhere.

Children all over the world like to celebrate their birthdays. American children are not different. American children usually celebrate with a party. They invite their friends to join the celebration. The party may not be held on the date of their birthday if it comes on a school day. It may be held on the closest weekend instead.
Today two kinds of parties are the most popular. One is held at home. Parents make the house beautiful with balloons(气球)and colored paper. They prepare a special birthday meal. The children play games. Another kind is held away from home. Some are at a special restaurant. The children eat pizza and ice cream. The waiters also sing and tell jokes to the children. Other parties may be held at a park, or a movie theater, or some other places.
Every birthday party has a birthday cake with candles on top. There is one candle for each year of a birthday boy or girl,s age. When the candles are lighted, everyone sings the special birthday song: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.!

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went in to the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table and then went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone sitting in the nest seat. It was a boy, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was coloured bright at the front. He had started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was rather uneasy(不安)about him, but I didn,t want to have any trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn,t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought,“Well, I shall have the last piece.”And I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,’’ There’s something wrong with that woman!’’ Everybody looked at me, but I did not want to quarrel with the boy, so I kept quiet. I kept quiet. I did not realize that I had made a mistake until I finished my coffee and was ready to leave. My face turned red when I saw my unopened chocolate under the newspaper. The chocolate that I had been eating was the boy,s.

Most people have jobs. They go to work nearly every day. Some people are lucky. Either they have very interesting jobs or they can earn(赚)a lot of money. Most people are not so lucky. Either their jobs are not very interesting or they don,t earn a lot of money.
The most interesting jobs are often the most difficult. It takes a long time to learn how to do them. Doctors study for at least 6 years after finishing school. Airline pilots(飞行员)study for longer. They have to learn to fly in small plane first, and then slowly move up to bigger and bigger plane. Most airline pilots are at least 30 years.
Some young people have interesting and well-paid jobs. Many successful athletes are young .Football and tennis stars are usually under 35. Older people usually can,t play these sports very well. They can,t move far enough. Golf, however, is a good sport for older people.
