　　Bill was a boy of 15．His parents went to gambling(賭博)day and night．Nobody cared about hi．He always failed in his exams．So his teachers didn’t like him, nor did his classmates play with him．

　　Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school．He almost gave himself up．

　　One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill’s class．She was a smiling, beautiful woman．Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teachers; yet, still he failed．

　　It was Miss Jones’ class．She was asking a question．“I’d like the smartest boy to answer my question．” Then she said loudly, “Bill, please!”

　　Bill was surprised．And he stood up without a word．

　　“Just try it! I believe you can!”

　　After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill．She told him that she cared about him and believed in him．

　　Bill thought a lot that evening．From then on he arrived at school on time every day．Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon．She even cooked delicious food for him．She told Bill, “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart in it．”

　　Later, Miss Jones gave another exam．Bill did it with all his heart．He was very excited to find that he had passed the exam．Now Bill discovered that not only could he learn, but he could do it well．A changed took place in Bill’s heart．

　　You see, one teacher saved one boy, it’s simple(簡單的), really．

　　Do you now that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents．

　　Several years ago a heavy rain hit a town and made the river go up．When the rain stopped, people found that a dog swam to an island in the river twice a day for two weeks．Why did she do so? Her four children were there．The mother swam there every day to feed her babies．This true story moved many people．

　　Another story is about chimpanzees(猩猩)．A scientist named Jane Goodall spent 4 years living with chimpanzees in Africa．She found that chimpanzees also cared for those that were hurt or got lost．“It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do,” she said．

　　Two birds in Chengdu also showed their parental(父母的)love．Their baby was hurt and fell on the street in the center of the city．Cars were driving past but the brave parents rushed down to the road and took the little bird away with their claws(爪子)．

　　How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大腦)that does these things．A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory．” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep．In fact, your brains is working day and night．If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep．What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按鈕)” in the human brain．It might make a person more talented．

　　There are more interesting things about the brain．Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light．Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day．According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠)keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker．

　　Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain：

　　●Eat healthy food．

　　●Get a lot of playtime or exercise．

　　●Don’t drink or smoke．

　　●Use your brain a lot．

　　A sign is another kind of language．Here are some of them that you see on the roads．

　　Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it．When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers can hour．We see this sign when we are getting near a town．Number two is a sign that we're near a crossing．We must drive carefully．Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road．Again, we must drive slowly and carefully．It is not safe to go round a bend very fast．Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right．There is a junction at this place．Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow．Drivers must go slowly and carefully．Number seven has the word “ SCHOOL” on it．This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road．Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school．So drivers must look carefully and go slowly．Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it．The letter “P” means “ Parking ”．At some places, there're the signs “ No parking ” or “ No waiting”．If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car．

　　If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It save your life．This is the surprising advice of a British cook．One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen．He picked up a dish from a table, and suddenly a snake appeared and bit him on the hand．A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas．It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish．“ I tried to pick it up and it bit me．I threw it away, but it landed in the fridge．So I closed the door．” Jackson said．Anyway, Jackson was cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone．Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital．Then his chest began to hurt．Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was．

　　Then Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo．The doctors sent it to London Zoo．When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day．“ So my advice is this：If a snake bits you, pick up your phone．Take its photo first and then call the hospital．Show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Mr．Jackson．“ Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry!”

　　When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows－cow manure(糞肥), to be specific．

　　Cows produce a lot of wastes．One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day．Now imagine the output of over 1, 000 cows at Blue Farm．That’s really a big amount．

　　When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料)．But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes．They use them to produce electricity．

　　Here’s how it works：A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor．“The cows aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet．“They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by．”

　　The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool．The tank is called a digester(化糞池)because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow：Bacteria(細菌)get to work and continue to digest the manure．

　　Methane gas(甲烷、沼氣)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up．That’s an environmental concern．But the digester has a good result．Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators(發(fā)電機)．

　　At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes．The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves．

　　When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive．One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St．Paul．

　　Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call．Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place．We’ d sit on the edge of the dock(碼頭), feet dangling(搖晃), and got ready for a big meal．

　　Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us．Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart－the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part－and throw away the rest．

　　Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man．I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman．Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked．Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon．

　　What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind．Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon．If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life．

　　For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock．I was too busy making all the money I could．

　　Well, I’ve relearned it．I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day．That’s the heart of the watermelon．I have learned again to throw the rest away．
