14．Long ago in a small town，there was a place known as the House of 1，000 Mirrors．
A small，happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit．When he arrived，he bounced（跳）happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house．He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could．To his great surprise，he found himself staring at 1，000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his．He smiled a great smile，and was answered with 1，000 great smiles just as warm and friendly．As he left the house，he thought to himself，"This is a wonderful place．I will come back and visit often．"
In this same village，another little dog，who was not quite as happy as the first one，decided to visit the house．He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door．When he saw the 1，000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him，he growled at them and was horrified to see 1，000 little dogs growling back at him．As he left，he thought to himself，"This is a horrible place，and I will never go back there again．"

1．Bullets （子弹） are known for their ability to kill．However，not all bullets are bad．Magic bullet is something that solves a difficult problem easily．But there is not one thing that solves a difficult problem．For example，let's say a country is suffering from a weak economy．It raises various social issues．People want change and protest （抗议） in the streets．However，there is no magic bullet to cure all these problems．
To take a bullet for someone is a good thing．Well，the thought behind this expression is a good thing．It means you are willing to harm yourself to protect someone else．This often sounds like a tough expression．Mothers might not say"I'd take a bullet for my child"，but they would．People in the army，however，might say，"I'd take a bullet for you，man．"
When you sweat bullets you are very nervous or anxious about something．What does dodging a bullet mean？For example，let's say you get up late for work．Your boss has warned you that if you are late again，you may get fired．When you arrive at the office，you are sweating bullets．However，you need not worry．As it turns out，your boss is out sick that day．You have dodged a bullet．
To ease the pain of a difficult situation，people are sometimes asked to bite the bullet．What is the origin of this expression？During the Civil War，pain-killing drugs were often hard to find．So，doctors working on the battlefield would give their patients something to bite on．Many times it was a bullet．Hollywood movies helped to keep this expression alive．In old western movies，more than one cowboy was seen biting a bullet，perhaps drinking some wine，while removing an arrow from his body．In modern conversation，biting the bullet means to accept a difficult decision or situation．

be responsible for the rest of that school year．
      Some jobs were more interesting than others，and the children were eager to be given one of the best
ones．When giving them out，the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible
during the previous year．During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instructions

has been chosen to accompany me，this summer，on a journey to the tropical rain forest，where we will
investigate all kinds of insects．Among all the schools of this region，your class has best cared for the
little ant．"
     That day the school was filled with joy and celebration．Everyone thanked Rita for having been so
patient and responsible．And many children learnt that to be given the most important task，you have to
