Returning a Father’s Love
He was a single father, raising a 5-year-old boy by himself. He often worried about his son growing up without a mother to care for him.
One day, he went away on business, leaving the child alone. He worried about his child all the way, not knowing if he had eaten. But his child always told him not to worry. He ran home as soon as possible after he finished his work.
When he got home, the child was deep asleep. He was tired out. He was about to sleep when he was surprised to find an overturned (翻到的) bowl of noodles under the quilt (被子). He hit his sleeping son angrily, “Why are you so careless, making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?” It was the first time that he had hit his boy after his wife’s death.
“Sorry, but…” the child explained with tears in his eyes, “This is your supper, Daddy.” In order to let his father eat dinner when he arrived home, the child prepared two bowls of noodles: one for himself, the other for his father. He was afraid that his father’s noodles would get cold, so he placed them under the quilt!
Hearing this, the father felt deeply moved and felt sorry about what he did to his son — he hugged his son tightly without saying a word.
1.Where was the boy’s mother?
2.What did the father worry about his son?
3.How many bowls of noodles did the son prepared?
4.Why did the father hugged his son tightly without saying a word after hearing his son?
5.What do you think of the little boy? (no more than 6 words)

Four types of friends you need in your life
Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The surveyshows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.
The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.
1. A Loyal Best Friend
Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knowsall of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
2. A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday,you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.
3. A Workmate
You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.
4. A Friend From a Different Culture
If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that don’t make friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.
If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so ifyou make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck.
