One day a farmer went out for a walk with his daughter. The farmer put on a pair

of wrong shoes－one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one. So as he

began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable. When he was just out of the house, he turned

to his daughter and said, “Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today?”

The daughter looked at his father’s legs carefully as he was walking, and th en laughed, “Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes.”

The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, “What a clever daughter

I have got!” Then he asked his daughter to go back and get the other pair of shoes

for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.

When the daughter ran back to the house, she found that the other pair was also

In America, when people say“man's best friend”, they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship(友谊) between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!

Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the“eyes”for a blind person (盲人) or“ears”for a deaf(耳聋) person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.

Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.

If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect(保护) animals who can't speak for themselves.

When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every

night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing homework.I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.

Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests. Other parents dislike the recent trend (趋势) toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap (差距) between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework. So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

A. was too difficult

on the Internet

They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.
