Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours．For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well．

Then their good relationship broke．It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence．One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms．“It must be Bob,” John thought．

Then one day there was a knock on John’s door．He opened it to find a carpenter（木匠） standing at the doorway．

“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said．

“I do have a job for you,” John said．“Look across the stream at that farm．That’s my neighbour Bob．He dug a stream between the two farms．I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence．I don’t want to see his place or his face any more．I don’t have such a neighbour!”

The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you．”

Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials（材料） ready and then he was off for the day．

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job．The farmer’s eyes opened wide．There was no fence there at all!

It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched（伸出）．“Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”

Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands．“I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done．We should be good to each other．” said Farmer Bob．

Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go．“No, wait! Stay a few days．I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John．“I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build．”

Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money．Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do．Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas．

Ideas for summer work:

●Parks and Recreation Programs．

●Babysitting （當(dāng)臨時保姆） during the day of school．

●Working part-time at a day care for the summer．

●Car washing．

●Working at local vegetable stands．

The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others’ inconveniences （不方便）．Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done．Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing．Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices．

Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner．That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer．

I am a 18 year-old middle school student．I have been busy in my study and seldom helped my parents with the houseworks．Feeling quite sorry for that, and I begin to think about what to do to help．Last Sunday, when my parents went out shop, I suddenly got an idea: why not giving the rooms a throughout cleaning? Firstly I collected both the books, newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put it in place．Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture．After that, I swept and mopped the floors．At this very moment, my parents came back and were quite surprising to see all the rooms tidy and floors shining．My mother gave me a hug and I see satisfaction in her eyes．Tired as I was, I never felt so happy．

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk, That’s all-- milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same store and also buys milk. Besides, she buys chicken to make dinner that night. Then she gets coffee for breakfast and remembers stamps to mail the bills.

And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called multi-tasking a very popular word these days.

Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has proved what we have known all along—men and women think differently.

Last year, some scientists studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old They found that male brains have more connections only on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right one is known as the “creative” side.

Regina Verma, a professor in the brain study, says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.

As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. In fact, there is a strong connection between the “understandings and the “action” parts of men’s brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (敏感性) when solving a problem. They take a less direct path to find a solution.
