Stuart and Steve were twin brothers. Stuart loved to play basketball. But Steve loved to read books.
One day Stuart fell and broke his leg          he was playing basketball. When they took him to the hospital, the doctor said he wouldn’t be able to play for six months. Steve went          him and brought him books on basketball. At first Stuart wasn’t going to read them. Then he began to read them and        that there were ways he could play basketball better. He began to think that books weren’t so        .
When Stuart’s leg started getting better, Steve would help him by going for walks with him.          Stuart’s doctor said he could start playing basketball again. Then Stuart showed Steve how to toss (投) for baskets. Steve found that he enjoyed it.
Soon Stuart was ready to          basketball games. Steve went to games and enjoyed himself. From then on they         practiced basketball and read books together.
Now you can see, when          happens, something good may also happen. Steve showed Stuart about books and Stuart showed Steve about basketball. So please          showing others something that you like to do and they may show you something that they like to do.        you can find new things to do.

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自来水) before you order. You may find bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（续杯）.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Serving (一份) in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

小题2:What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?

B．They leave the food on the table and go away.

C．They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy the food later.

As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the 小题1:for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.

Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes help protect them. It’s hard to see an Arctic bear in snow. Its white fur helps protect it. Chameleons(变色龙) can hide by changing colors. Their skin turns the same color as what is around them. Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes.
Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run away from them.
Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out of danger.

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner. 
I still remember one night my mum        some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his       , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve       what I told him that night.        I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He       as usual, every single bit. 
After dinner, my mum said        to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I        burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
     , I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and      , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really    . And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect.        is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something        over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and         or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy      .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember,        bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
