Mr. Read works in a big shop. He's very1and always gets to the office on time. The2is satisfied with(对……满意) him and pays him more. One evening he was very tired, and as soon as he finished eating3, he put his watch on the table and went to bed. Little Mable, one of his daughters, came in and4something there. She dropped the watch to the floor. She picked it up and5quickly. The next morning he got up on time. After breakfast he had a look at his watch and began to 6newspapers. When he got to his office, it was half past eight. He was 7for the first time! At that moment he found something was wrong with his watch. He had to ask someone to8it.

This morning Mr. Read was going to take a train to London. But he 9it because his watch was slow again. He was very surprised and said, "It was all right yesterday, but why is it10now?"

"Last night I found it was dirty, "said Little Mable." I had to wash it for you!"

Here is our pet dog, Mr. Hawkeye. Mr. Hawkeye is seven years old, and we got him from our vet (兽医). He takes in a lot of cats. He receives his name because he is such a hawk(掠夺者)around food. If you are not looking，he will take a sandwich off your plate. He can smell the delicious food in the fridge from another floor in the house，and potato chips are his favourite thing to steal! This comes the name，Hawkeye. Hawkeye was a great animal at the vet. They thought he could bring good luck and he took care of all the new cats，giving them baths, etc. He does that at our house as well. Like I said，he is quite a character(有个性的) and very friendly. He always greets (问候) us when we come home. He has to check out all the bags to make sure if there's food there for him, especially chips!

School Report Card

It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. "I'll send Mom some roses"

While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars，Madam?" he asked. The assistant (店员) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).

"No, I have to have red roses. "He said. "My mom was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, and it has to be roses, because roses are her favorite."

After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved (感动)by both of them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you. "Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth (值得) twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.

When he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery(坟墓). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, "Mom, oh, Mom, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her."

Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.

Computers can injure(伤害) you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you falloff a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.

Your eyes

Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters (厘米) from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.

When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect(反射) on the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.

Your hands

Hand injuries can happen because the hands are moved in the same way hundreds of times. Lf you use a keyboard for a long time, follow this rule: Stop sometimes and exercise your hands and fingers in different ways.

Your back

Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back and your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.

Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.
