Susan was a woman who hated animals. She never wanted to keep any pets at home. To her, all animals were dirty and boring. Susan could never understand why people would like to have cats or dogs in the house. It was so stupid!
Last month Susan's daughter, Penny, came home from school with a mouse in a box. Susan was very angry. But Penny said that it was her homework. Her teacher asked each student to take care of an animal and learn to get along with it. Susan had to say yes.
It was fun for Penny at the beginning, but then she got lazy and forgot to do her homework. It became Susan's homework. She gave it food and water every day and found that the mouse was in fact not dirty. She even talked to it! It was not boring or stupid! Now Susan is having a good time with “her” mouse. She named it Nini. And she is going to buy another one to make a pair.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “twins”? Born on the same day? Looking almost the same? Or having the same hobbies? Well, I have a twin brother who was born on a different day from me. We do not look very much alike and we are always interested in different things.
Twelve years ago, my brother, Wayne, was born at eleven fifty-eight on the night of May 28. Five minutes later, I was born—on May 29. Since the time we were born, I have always been heavier and stronger than Wayne, so people usually think I am the older brother.
But Wayne is always than I. He loves reading and learns many things quickly. He knows a lot about animals, although he does not spend much time with our dogs and birds. He knows a lot about bicycles, but never likes to ride bikes as much as I do.
Though we are very different, I love my brother very much. I hope both of us can have a happy life in the future

Dear New Mom,
You should teach your children manners as soon as your children understand what you're saying. When your children do something right, let them know. When your children do something wrong, gently tell them how they should do best and why.
Here are some basic manners for children.
1.Waiting for their turn and not interrupting other people when they are speaking. Tell them to wait until someone finishes speaking, and then ask questions.
2.Always greet someone when they come over to your house. You can teach your children to shake hands with grown-ups who come over, but it's not necessary to shake hands with other children. Your children should always say "hello" or "hi" when someone comes to your home so that the guest feels welcome.
4.Say "Please" and "Thank you" often. And say "You're welcome" to reply others’ “Thank you”.
5.After playing a game, no matter what is the result, be pleasant. If your children win, tell them not to show off （炫耀）, but to be kind. If they lose, tell them do not get mad and tell the other children that they did a good game or speak well of them.
Yours

Last week, we had a great time on a field trip to the San Diego Zoo. My school is in Vista California so our trip took an hour. Visiting the zoo was worth the long ride each way.
Before we went on the trip, we read a book called Watching Gorillas with Jane Goodall. Most of my friends liked the gorilla exhibit the best because of the book. It’s like an amazing African rain forest. We saw gorillas, waterfalls, and beautiful plants, and we also heard a recording of the sounds of a real rain forest. We watched the gorillas sitting near the waterfall.
I liked the gorillas, but I liked the polar bears even better. We looked through a big window and watch the polar bears swim in the cold water. Our guide told us many interesting facts about polar bears. She said that most of them live far north, in places like Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia. One bear as we watched the bears, swam right up to the glass. I won’t forget the day that I came face to face with a huge polar bear!
