Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的)score meant a mediocre school._________ However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课)before.

Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish him for befriending those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of the story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter's father had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.

Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is currently a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about it all the time.

Salt Lake City is a beautiful city in the west of North America. If you go there, you'l1 see a monument(纪念碑)with seagulls on top of it. Here is the story about the seagulls.

Over one hundred years ago, a group of men, women and children traveled a long way from the east to the west. They crossed the mountains and arrived at thequiet place in the valley. They built their homes and made their farms near the big salt lake. They had to work very hard on their farms because their life depended on their crops.

One day while they were working in the fields, some farmers saw something strange in the sky.

"What's that?" asked one of them. "Where?" asked another. "Over there. " he answered.

They saw something like a cloud coming towards them. But it was too low in the sky. As they watched, it came nearer and nearer. Suddenly a shout went up:"Locusts(蝗虫)!Millions of them! "

The farmers were all frightened, because they knew what locusts could do. And they had never seen so many of them before.

In no time the locusts came down and started eating their crops一the wheat, the vegetables, even the grass and the leaves on the trees. The farmers tried everything to kill the locusts，but while they were killing them in one place, millions more arrived in another. What could they do?

Suddenly they heard a great noise. As they looked up into the sky, they saw another great cloud coming towards them. To their surprise, they saw not locusts, but seagulls this time. The farmer cried out, "They've come to eat what the locusts. have left! "

But to their joy，the seagulls had come to eat, not their corps, but the locusts. They had seen or smelt the locusts and had come to eat them. In a short while they ate up millions of them. The farmers' crops were saved.

The people were very thankful. They decided that frrnn then on no one should ever kill a seagull. They also built a monument to show their thanks to the seagulls.
