    It's 12 o'clock. Mr Bakery goes into a restaurant for a quick 1. "Hi! Can I help you?" a waiter says. "I'd like some French fries, a hamburger and a medium Coke," says the man. "2 else?" asks the waiter. "No," the man answers. "That's all." "For here or to 3?" asks the waiter. "I'll take it away," says the man. The waiter puts the food into a bag. Then the man goes away4 the bag. "Have a nice day," the waiter says.

    The man goes back to his office. He sits down and opens the bag. There is a hamburger, some French fries and a Coke. But there is also some 5in it. "That's the money for my lunch," says the man. He wants to go back to the restaurant 6he doesn't want to get his lunch for free. He is always such a nice man.

    Mr. Liu is an English teacher in Nanjing. This year, he visits France(法国) for his summer holiday.

    He watches many beautiful buildings and enjoys wonderful song and dance shows there. He also loves French(法国的；法语的) bread, cakes and soup. He has a good time there. But he doesn't feel happy all the time. He wants to visit an art museum. He doesn't know the way.

    So he uses English to ask some French people how to get there. He feels very sad after he finds no one can tell him. At last, a kind lady tells him the way, and says to him, "you are here in France, and people usually speak French only. They can't speak English, so a lot of people don't understand what you say. But even if they understand English, they only talk with you in French, no English."

    When he goes into the museum, he sees so many beautiful pictures and other works(作品) of art. He feels excited and wants to take pictures of what he sees in the museum. At that time, a worker stops him, and asks him not to take any photos. He asks the worker why he can't take any photos in English. The worker doesn't answer, but he points at (指向) a sign on the wall with French words " II est interdit de photographier dans la sallle."

    Have you ever thought about your body changes? Up to about the age of eight or nine, girls and boys look quite alike. They have similar shaped bodies and their voices sound almost the same. As they grow, all their organs(器官) grow, too.

    At the same time after the age of ten, often at eleven or twelve, boys' and girls' bodies start changing. This time of change is called puberty(青春期), The changes mean their bodies are getting ready so that they'll be able to have children when they're older.

    The changes don't happen to everyone at the same time. Each person has his or her own body—changing timetable. By the time they're eighteen, they should be complete. Girls start changing some years sooner than boys. Until they're fifteen or so, they grow faster than boys of the same age. As years go by, boys can catch up and grow taller and stronger. Girls grow taller and heavier as well. Their faces and breasts become fuller. As well as all the changes you can see happening, other important changes — ones you can't see — are happening inside your body at the same time.

    If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things.

    Be open to others.

    Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide(掩盖) it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel relaxed(放松的) in talks.

    Try to smile more.

    When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too, and most people don't like an angry-looking face.

    Learn to be a good talker.

    If you find it hard to start a talk, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?

    Get your attention elsewhere.

    Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don't worry about your looks or whether(是否) other people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it's not so hard to talk with other people.

Title:        to be a little braver

    Every year, November 21 is World Hello Day. On this day, all you have to do is to say hello and give a good day greeting(问候) to at least ten people you meet! Of course this can be family and f      , but be brave to strangers(陌生人). It started on November 21, 1973. The meaning(含义) behind it is : Say hello and stop war(战争).

    S      hello to someone can make a lot of difference(不同). For example, a small thing l      a greeting can mean a lot to shy(含羞 ) people. Because they find it hard to t       with people. A hello to a stranger is also a small thing, but through it we can make the w        a better place.

    In China, people u       say "Ni Hao." when they meet each other. How do people say hello to each other in English-speaking countries? You may have some i       in your mind(头脑).   People usually say, "H are you?" You can answer, "I'm fine," "Very good, thank you," or "Not bad, thanks." You can also ask "And you?"

    In the UK, b       good friends, they say, "You all right?" "I'm good. Any plans (计划) for the weekend?" People also say "How's it going? " B       it's not a question. It just means hello. People often answer, "Good," or "Not bad." Another popular greeting is "Hey, boy." But it is usually among boys. Girls may say "Hey, g      ."

    In the world, people use at least 2,796 languages to say hello to each other.
