Carl studied in our middle school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in the new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.

Last Friday Carl came to our city again. He hopes to accompany(陪伴)his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He’s taller and stronger than before. We swim in the river outside the city together or have a picnic on the island. It surprises me that he has learned to cook. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after himself.

“How do you like your school?” I asked.

“Wonderful,” said the young man. “It has a tall building and there’re two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And its library is big and there’re plenty of books in it.”

“I can see you are satisfied with it.”

“Yes,” answered he. “But our geography teacher often says to himself in class.”

“So does our new history teacher,” I said. “But he doesn’t notice it. He often talks on and on in a flow of the eloquence(滔滔不绝), but none of us listens to him!”

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

   With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

   Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

   Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

   Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

   If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

   Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories.

Miss Turner had studied in a college (学院) in the capital before she found a job in a middle school in her home town. There she taught physics. As she had little experience, she worked hard and did her best to make her classes interesting and lively.

Mr Green, the headmaster, wanted to know how the woman taught her students and one morning he had sat in the last row of the classroom before the bell rang. Miss Turner found him as soon as she came in. That day she was explaining to the children about sound. She wanted to show the headmaster how successful she had been in her work and began to test the children.

“Now, I have a sister in Washington. If I were calling her on the telephone, and at the same time you were 20 metres away, and listened to me from the other side of the street, who would hear earlier, my sister or you-and why?”

The children thought for a while and the cleverest boy answered, “Your sister, Miss Turner, because electricity travels much faster than sound waves.”

“That’s very good,” said Miss Turner. And she was going to ask another question when a girl stood up and said, “I’m sorry I can’t agree with him. Your sister would hear you earlier because when it’s eleven o’clock here, it’s only six o’clock in Washington!”
