May Day Basket

I clearly remember the May Day of the year that I was in fifth grade. That year I was faced with a challenge because of my best friend, Pam.

A new family recently had moved into our small town, and Pam was spending more and more time at their house. I felt ______ and left out.

When my mother asked me whether I would take a May Day basket to Pam’s house, I answered angrily, “Of course not!” My mother stopped what she was doing and ______ me in her arms. She told me that I would have many other friends in my lifetime.

“But Pam was my best friend ever,” I cried.

Mum told me that circumstances (环境) change and people change. She ______ that one of the great things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what they want to be. And sometimes, she said, that friends would ______ other people to spend time with. It’s nothing wrong with that.

She went on to say that I needed to forgive Pam for hurting me and that I could express that forgiveness (宽恕) by giving her a May Day basket.

It was a ______ decision, but I decided to give Pam a basket. I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam’s favorite ______. I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As we ______ from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, pressed her face into them and said ______ enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn’t forget me!”

That day, I made a decision that changed my life: I decided to hold my friends in my heart, but not in my expectation of them, allowing them space to grow and to change – with or without me.

Football

Ancient Chinese, Roman and Egyptian writings help you know about games played by kicking a ball. We also know that in the twelfth century, in some English towns, on certain days of the year, hundreds of young men would kick a ball around the streets. Unluckily, fight often resulted. People were hurt and even killed. In 1314, such games were not allowed because they were too dangerous.

The game we now know as football developed in England in the early nineteenth century. Football was played in many schools and clubs as early as 1823. These schools and clubs often had different rules, but in 1863, the Football Association or FA was created, and standard rules were agreed for everyone to follow. These are the rules that many parts of the world use for football today. In 1871, a cup was given for the best English club, called the FA Cup. Football soon spread across the world.

In the United States and Canada, however, a different type of football game developed, where the football players could pick the ball up and carry it. The ball is also in a different shape. In American football there is also more violent contact (激烈交锋) between players, who have to wear special clothing to protect themselves.

Football is now certainly the most popular game on earth. Why is that? One reason may be that it’s a simple game. All we need is a ball, and a few things to mark the goals. It’s a more relaxed game which can be enjoyed by just a few people of any age, on any piece of ground or even in the street. Another reason may be that it allows people to show their special skills. Some footballers become very rich and famous, like David Beckham. For this reason, many young people dream of becoming football stars and getting very rich. Television too has made football more popular. Millions of people can watch international matches such as the World Cup, which is held every four years.

1.What helps you know about games played by kicking a ball?

2.Where did the football game develop in the early 19th century?

3.When were the football standard rules made for everyone to follow?

Ever since Greg was a little boy, he had watched his grandfather carve(雕刻) small wooden figures(木偶). In a short time, his grandfather could change a piece of wood into a wonderful work of art. Greg often wished that he could create wonderful little wooden figures as his grandfather did.

One day, Greg’s grandfather called the boy into his room. “Today is the day that you begin to learn the lost art of carving.” Greg couldn’t believe his ears. He sat beside his grandfather. The smell of the wood filled his nose, and he loved that. Grandfather told him the names of the different tools he used to create the figures.

After the introduction to the tools was over, Greg picked up a piece of wood and started to carve. He worked for hours that day, trying to learn his grandfather’s skill. Although his small wooden figure was far from perfect, both Greg and his grandfather were quite proud of the work Greg had done. “I will put it on my desk,” Greg’s grandfather told him. Greg’s eyes shone with joy. He knew that it would take him many years to become as skillful as his grandfather, but Greg was going to enjoy every minute of it!
