“Eat your breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day!” Why are parents always saying that?
Well, a person is like a car. After a long night of sleeping, there is no fuel in your fuel tank(燃料箱). Breakfast is like the fuel. It makes you work or walk on the road.
What should you eat? Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have hamburgers or dessert(甜點(diǎn)) all the time. They don’t have the necessary nutrients(必需的營(yíng)養(yǎng)素). And if you have a hamburger for breakfast, you won’t feel full for long.
Try to eat all kinds of foods like grains, fruit, vegetables and drink some milk. Oh, try to eat more apples because an apple a day can help to keep the doctor away.

Helen loved small animals. One morning while she was walking in the forest, she found two weak birds in the grass. She took them home and put them in a small cage. She looked after them with love and the birds both grew well. They thanked her with a wonderful song every morning.
But something happened one day. Helen left the door of the cage open. The larger bird flew from the cage. She thought that it would fly away, so she grasped it. She was very excited to catch it. Suddenly she felt strange. She opened her hand and looked sadly at the dead bird. Her great love had killed the bird!
The other bird was moving back and forth (來(lái)回地) in the cage. Helen could feel the bird want to go out. It wanted to fly into the blue sky. At once, Helen took the bird out of the cage and let it fly away. The bird circled, twice, three times…

Hello，this is your gardening adviser.
Now，just as our garden are at their most colourful, and most productive time, what do we do？We’ll go off on holiday. What I suggest you do is this: invite a friend or neighbour to help you. You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you return, but first make sure that he knows how to do it. What he should not do is throw water over the leaves of the plants themselves, because if he does that, it will invite diseases. Also for the same reason, ask him if he can possibly water in the morning, rather than in the evening.
If you haven’t got a greenhouse, there is one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away, and this is how you do it. Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath. Yes, the bath! Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are all wet. Now put the flower pots（花盆）to stand on the wet paper, go off on holiday, and they should be alive and well when you return in two weeks’ time.
Thank you for calling. Goodbye and good gardening!

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(請(qǐng)客)at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
" Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? "
" Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come'? "
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):
" Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or " Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie." Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辭)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀請(qǐng)). For example:
" Please come over for a drink sometime? "
" Why not get together for a party sometime? "
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
【小題1】 Why do Canadians and Americans often invite friends for meals at home?

A．Because they have no time. 
B．Because they can spend less money 
C．Because they enjoy entertaining at home 
D．Because they have modern and beautiful houses 
【小題2】Which of the following is a real invitation?
A．"If you're free, let's go for a drink sometime." 
B．"Please go to the cinema with me some day." 
C．"Would you like to have a cup of tea with us sometime?" 
D．"I've two tickets here. Can you go to the concert with me?" 
【小題3】 If people say "Let's get together for lunch some day", you just say“_______".
A That's great. I'll be there on time.    
B. How about this weekend?
C. Oh, sorry. I'm very busy.      
D. That would be nice.
【小題4】People use "not real invitation" to show that_______.

What’s the most important thing in your life? Have you thought about this question?
I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad.
When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy about music at that time. In my opinion, if I couldn’t sing or couldn’t listen to music, my life would be meaningless.
As time went by, I changed my mind again. When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.
Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. The writer said, “happiness is the destination for everyone.”
Soon I realized that, in fact, friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. There are many important things that make our lives colourful and beautiful.
What’s the most important thing in life? I don’t have the answer yet. However, in fact, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life. And I believe I will be very happy if I can achieve that.
I hope everyone can find the important things in their lives, and cherish them!
