　　Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may want to have something to eat before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or the work will seem much harder than it really is.

　　Break your time into periods that you can control. If you have more than an hour's work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand don't break it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.

　　Don't put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do for you really to learn. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day at school, will take the fear(忧虑) out of tests and keep you on top of it all.

　　Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit－part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.

It was at least tow months before Christmas, when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old, and it needed repairing as well.

As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, so we thought, for she didn’t mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful storybooks, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then much to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.

Now we didn’t know what to do. It was just toot late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children’s presents, parents’ presents, a brother’s present and friends’ presents till midnight.So there was no time to take to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their children unhappy, we felt guilty and sad.

Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of clay(泥土) and write a note(便条) that she could trade in(交换) the model bike for a real one?” So he spent the next five hours carefully working with the clay to make a small bike.

On Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly.

She looked at me and Ron and said, ”So does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling, I said, “Yes.”

Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on the Earth.

One rainy afternoon, it was impossible for them to go out to do anything interesting, so the family decided to go to the cinema. Joe, his wife and their children drove down to the town’s cinema, bought tickets and went into the hall. The lights were still on, and there were just six other people there. As Joe entered, some of them saw him and started clapping.

Joe gave them a smile and turned to his wife, “Aha, I can’t believe they know me and I’m getting a warm welcome here,” he said. “ I guess they saw my games on TV.”

They sat down and then a young man came back and reached out his hand to shake hands with Joe. “I just can’t believe you know who I am.” Joe said. The man looked puzzled. “All I know,” replied the man, “is that they would not show the film until at least ten people had bought tickets.”
