Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

      While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?“ Mum said nothing. The next day. mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

     On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, "Now it's time for the great prize game. It’ s the following riddle..." It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

     Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

     When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

Miss Evans taught physics in a London school. Last month she was explaining to her class about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her work. She said to them, Now, I have a sister in Washington. If I was calling her on the telephone, and at the same time you were 20 meters away and listened to me from the other side of the street, who could hear what I said earlier, my sister or you? And why?

   The cleverest boy at once answered, “Your sister, Miss Evans, because electricity (电)travels faster than sound waves(波).” That's very good, Miss Evans answered, but then one of the girls put up her hand, and Miss Evans said, Yes, Betty?
