14.One day Robin went with his family to eat in a restaurant.They were sitting at a table and waiting for their meal.Suddenly,everyone around them started to cover their noses.Some of them even left their tables and went away.
When Robin's family turned around to see what had caused this,they saw two homeless boys.The boys looked dirty and smelled bad.But both boys were smiling and had beautiful blue eyes.They were looking for someone kind.One of the boys went to the counter and he counted the coins he had.The other boy looked sick and he stood quietly.
The young lady at the counter asked the boy what they wanted.He said,"We only want a cup of coffee."That was all they could afford.They wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up.It was really cold outside.But to sit inside the restaurant,they had to buy something.
When Robin's mother saw this,she wanted to help the boys.She ordered some more food.Then she went to the two boy's table.She put the food on the table.The boys looked up at her and said,"Thank you."When Robin saw what his mother did,he understood what the unconditional(无条件的 ) love was.His mother treated those boys kindly.She did not expect anything in return.Now Robin saves his own pocket money and helps homeless people whenever he can.

9.The United States of America was founded in 1776 after the 13 independent American states rose up against the ruling British,defeated them in the American Revolutionary War,and signed the Declaration of Independence,the document which declared the creation of the new country.
    The men who led the revolution,drafted the Declaration of Independence and wrote the first American laws are known as"founding fathers".Benjamin Franklin,whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note,was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.

     After the United States of America was established,Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General,Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania.He is also famous today for his wise sayings,including"a penny saved is a penny earned"and"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

5.Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It's importa nt to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make-it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.
The time of life may be hard,but you're not alone.You may be busy studying,but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don't let your friendships die.
