(A)At the city gate

Long ago, in a far-away town, an old woman used to sit at the city gate,

watching the travelers passing through, and sometimes engaging them

in conversation.

One night, when it was growing dark, a traveler came along. “Excuse me,” he said to the woman, “but I am looking for a place to rest, and I wonder, can you tell me what the people are like in this town?”

The woman smiled, and asked him a question of her own. “You must have had a long journey,” she commented, “and you must be feeling tire d. Where do you come from? ”

A little surprised by her question, the traveler told her the name of his hometown, “Manchester,” he said.

“Oh,” replied the traveler, “you wouldn’t believe how awful people are in Manchester. They don’t care if you are hungry or thirsty. They would n’t even pass the time of day with you. They are rude and unfriendly in the extreme. ”

“My word,” replied the old woman, “Well, I’m afraid I have bad news for you. The people here in this town are very much like the people in Manchester. ”

“And what are the people like there?” the woman continued.

“Oh, they are so kind,” the traveler replied. “I like them a lot. They are always friendly, ready to

help others and generous to a fault(缺点，过失). ”

“Well,” the woman told him, “I think you will find a warm welco me here in this city. The people here are very much like the people in Manchester. ”

A mobile phone is in fact a small radio. A radio sends a

person’s voice over a long way to another radio. A voice that is sent by a radio is called a signal. A radio signal travels very quickly.

Only a few years ago, mobile phones were very large. They needed large batteries. They had to be powerful to send their signals to faraway places. This was because most cities had only one antenna tower for mobile phones.

Today’s mobile phones are small and easy to use. Now most cities have a lot of antenna towers, not just

one. This means that each mobile phone doesn’t have to send its signal far away, so they don’t need to be so powerful. Mobile phones today use small batteries. A large city, where lots of mobile phones are used, can have hundreds of towers.

Do yon know what use a mobile phone has? Yes, you can use it to do a lot of things.

Call your friends and family from almost anywhere.

Once upon a time, there was a seed(种子) and because it was only a seed, nobody cared to notice it. Thus, feeling kind of inferior(自卑) , the seed gave no importance to his existence (存在).

Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the hot sun. He wanted to know why. But instead of any answer, he was provided with rain besides sunlight, sometimes small and sometimes heavy.

Meanwhile time flew and years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side. “Thank God for this. I really need some rest,” he heard the traveler say.

“What are you talking about?” The seed soon asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. Sure, he had seen many people sitting by his side but no one ever spoke to him like that.

“Who’s this?” The man was surprised.

“It’s me. The seed. ”

“The seed?” The man looked at the big tree. “Are you kidding me? You’re no seed. You’re a big

tree !”

“Really ?”

“Yes! Why do you think people come here? To feel your shade!”

A mome nt passed before the traveler’s words struck the chord of realization within him. The seed, now a great tree, thought and smiled for the first time in his life. Years of sufferings from the sun and the rain finally made sense to him.

“Oh! That means I’m not a small seed any more! I didn’t die unnoticed but was born to help people with tiredness. Wow! Now that’s a life worth a thousand gems (宝石) !”

For many of us, learning to develop healthy eating habits takes a little more than it does for others. But by making small changes with every meal, you can start developing healthier eating habits in no time. Here are a few small steps for you and your family to improve your daily diet. Begin with the types of foods that you choose to buy. In most cases, you’ll eat what you buy.

Healthy Eating Tip No. 1: Start by changing the “snacks” in the house. Slowly and gradually have more fruit and healthier snack choices around, rather than the typical, higher-calorie junk food. For instance, have three types of fruit to replace some of the small bags of chips.

Healthy Eating Tip No. 2: When shopping at the supermarket, spend more of your time looking at fresh fruit, fish and vegetables, which are naturally lower in fat and are not filled with sugar or salt.

Healthy Eating Tip No.3: Begin reading the labels on the packages of the foods that you eat.
