　　“Well, I……”Kyle started to say．

　　“Wait, don’t tell me,”Ernie stopped him．“You’re looking for a …a little dog… for your daughter’s birthday, Right?”

　　“Not really, I just…．”

　　Ernie didn’t let him finish．“Ah, I’ve got it, You just moved to a new office, and you want some fish for it, I have some very nice fish bowls over here．”

　　“USA?Britain?Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussions．As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students．They want to learn about the world．

　　It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves．Language skills(技能)will improve and it may be easier to find jobs．

　　But there are problems that should be considered考慮)．Language is the first．Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture．

　　Students must also learn to live without parents’care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves．There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily．When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well．

　　Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(負擔)to the family．For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high．But is it worth it?

　　We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China．Liu Xiang is a good example．Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused．He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher．He surprised the world when he won a gold medal(金牌)at the Athens Olympics．So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice(選擇)．

　　When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down．After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble．

　　One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched(觸動)me．It gave the clothing sizes of each family member．I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves．I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan．“We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing．We'll share what we have with them．”

　　I filled a box with foods and clothes．While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things．Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together．Then she walked away．A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll．She put the doll on top of the other toys．“Oh, dear,”I said．“You don't have to give Lucy．You love her so much．Meghan said,“Lucy makes me happy, Mommy．Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too．”

　　I looked at Meghan for a long moment．She taught me a lesson．It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but harder to give what we cherish(珍愛), isn't?

　　Computers can injure(傷害)you．Most other injuries happen suddenly．For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly．But computer injuries happen slowly．

　　You probably know how to ride a bike safely．Now learn to use a computer safely．

　　Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen．Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters(厘米)from the screen．Remember to look away from it sometimes．This gives your eyes a rest．

　　When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right．If it is behind you, the light will reflect on(反射)the screen．If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes．

　　Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times．If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules：1)Rest your wrists on something．2)Keep your elbows(肘)at the same height as the keyboard．3)Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way．

　　Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer．If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck．So you should sit with your back straight．The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes．Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel(平行)to the floor．If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck．

　　Enjoy your computer, but use it safely．

　　In Britain, guide(向?qū)?dogs are the“eyes”for many blind people．At first, Lucy went to a woman's home when she was three months old．For nine months, the woman trained her to walk, sit, stop and lie down．

　　When Lucy was one year old, she went to a special school for dogs．It has a street like in a town．Here Lucy learned to guide a person round holes and across streets．She had to look for holes in the ground and high-up dangers like trees, too．

　　When Lucy passed all her tests, Dick came to the training centre to meet his“eyes”．Dog and person must like each other．If they do not like each other, they will not work well together．Dick stayed at the training centre for four weeks．He learned to walk along the street with Lucy．At the end, they went out into the real town for practice trips．

　　Dick is now back at home after his four weeks' training．Every day he walks with Lucy to his job in a factory．He is the telephone operator．The other workers love Lucy．She spends the day in a corner of his office．When they get home in the evening, Dick cleans Lucy's feet and gives her the evening meal－meat and dog-cakes．

　　Do you know this girl?

　　I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday．My sister left her jacket on a chair while we talked to some friends．When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there．She had some money in her hand．When she saw us, she got up and walked away．

　　I asked my sister,“Did you have any money in your jacket?”

　　She said,“Yes, Anna, I did．”

　　I said,“Look in your jacket quickly．”

　　Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there．

　　“That girl stole it!”I said, and we both ran after her．We caught her quickly．

　　My sister was very angry and she said,“Give me the money．”The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away．We both ran after her, but we lost her．

　　Then we went home．But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy,“You left your money at home．It's on the table in the sitting room．You must be more careful with money．”

　　So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief!She probably thought we were thieves!We felt terrible．

　　Please telephone us if you know this girl!We are very sorry for our mistake．We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her．

　　Our number is 512667．My name is Anna．
