How to live long   

　　I’m John Doe. I’m a journalist with an important magazine. The other day I saw a white hared sitting on the porch in front of house. I could see the winkles in his face and neck, and his wrinkled hands. Articles on the secrets of living to an advanced age are always popular with our readers, so I decided to pursue this story and discover the secret of this man’s long life. As I approached him, I said.
　　John: Sir, would it bother you if I talked with you for just a moment!
　　Man: Not at all. On the contrary, it would delight me. I get very bored sitting here, even for a short time. Until a little while ago I lived a full and active life without a moment’s rest.
　　J: Well, they say that a lot of activity helps one to live a long time.
　　M: That’s true, very true. I still feel very well, although my step has slowed down a little.
　　J: Would it bother you if I smoked a cigarette!
　　M: Not at all.
　　J: I’d offer you one, but I suppose you probably don’t smoke, or drink, or …
　　M: On the contrary! I’ve always smoked my head off. And until a little while ago I went dancing every night. And as for alcoholic drinks….
　　J: Do you mean to say that you’ve done these thing all for life!
　　M: Of course. Why does that surprise you so much?
　　J: I’ve always been told that doing those things is had for the health.
　　M: Ridiculous!
　　J: I suppose that you have another secret… a lot of fruit… vegetables … a lot of exercise in the fresh air…
　　M: Don’t be silly! I hate exercise in the fresh air, and I don’t like any kind of vegetables.
　　J: This is incredible!
　　M: What do you mean, incredible! What are you talking about!
　　J: It’s just that I can’t understand how you’ve been able to live like that and to have lasted so long. Tell me, how old are you?
　　M: Me! I’m twenty-seven. Why?

The New Baby    

　　Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had a seven-year-old boy named Pat. Now Mrs. Taylor was expecting another child.
　　Pat had seen babies in other people's houses and had not liked them very much, so he was not delighted about the news that there was soon going to be one in his house too. 
　　One evening Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were making plans for the baby's arrival. "This house won't be big enough for use all when the baby comes," said Mr. Taylor. 
　　Pat came into the room just then and said, "What are you talking about?" "We were saying that we'll have to move to another house now, because the new baby's coming," his mother answered. 
　　"It's no use," said Pat hopelessly, "He'll follow us there."

A Hero

　　John was nine years old, and he was a very bad boy, but his mother always hoped that he would behave（表现） better. Then one day, after he had come home from school, John’s teacher called his mother on the phone and said, “Did you know, Mrs. Perkins, that John saved（拯救） another boy when he fell into（掉进） the river while we were out for a walk this morning?” 
　　Mrs. Perkins was very happy when she heard this. She thought, “John’s becoming a good boy.” Then she turned to him and said, “That was your teacher. Why didn’t you tell me you had been such a brave（勇敢） boy and saved one of your friends when he fell into the river this morning?”

But John did not look very happy when he heard this. His face became very red, and he said, “Well, I really had to pull（拉） him out, because I pushed（推） him in.”

to see a world in a grain of sand,,

and a heaven in a wild flower,

hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

and eternity in an hour.

从一粒沙子看到一的世界，

从一朵野花看到一个天堂，

把握在你手心里的就是无限，

永恒也就消融于一个时辰。

“But you pushed “2” and “5”!”She said.

“Did I?” said Yingtian. And then he remembered. ”oh, no! I worked on the computer for three hours this afternoon. They both laughed” Maybe three hours is a little long.” she said.
