One day Mrs. Wilson went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.

“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said, “Help me check the prices, please.”

The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.”

“Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Every thing was cheaper there.” “We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was more than the money that you save!”

Mrs. Wilson added everything up. Her children were right.

In America, people often invite friends for a meal, a party (such as dancing party, housewarming party, birthday party, wedding party, New Year’s party, and so on )or just coffee. They often invite others face to face or by making phone calls, sometimes they send messages or E-mails.

When they make an invitation, they often say like this, "Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday?" "We are having a party on Friday, can you come?" To answer an invitation, they say "Sure, I’d love to. Thank you" to accept, or "Sorry" and give a reason to turn it down. Anyway, they must reply an invitation in a polite(礼貌的) way.

Up to two thirds of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous and slower at school, researchers say.

So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.

But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are 7 years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their young children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than 8 hours' sleep.Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.

German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're sleeping. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. What is the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!

Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.

About two thousand years ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. So lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the scenery(自然风景) in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time, taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing. So if you’re thinking about relaxing yourself, Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose.
