I grew up in a town called Estepna, living with my father. One morning, when I was sixteen, dad told me I could drive him into a faraway village called Mijas, on condition that (条件是). I took the car to be serviced (维护) at a nearby garage. I happily accepted (接受). I drove Dad into Mijas, and promised to pick him up at 4 p.m., then got the car to the garage. Then I went to a theatre. However, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!

     I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I'd been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When l hurried there I apologized (道歉) for being late, and told him I'd come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some big repairs. I' ll never forget the look he gave me.     "I' m disappointed you decided to lie to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again. "When you didn't turn up, I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me you hadn't yet picked up the car." I felt ashamed (羞愧) as I told him the real reason. A sadness passed through dad as he listened carefully, "I'm angry with myself. I realized I had failed as a father. I'm going to walk home now and think seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years." "But Dad, it' s eighteen miles!"

     My apologies were useless. Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, following him all the way, but he walked silently.

     It was the most successful lesson I have never lied since.

How to Make Your Own Internet Page

    It's easy to make your own internet page. The easiest way is to use a special program called a "web editor (编辑)". You can find these programs on the internet.

"Global (全球的) warming is causing hundreds of animals and plants to die or change more quickly than scientists thought,  a new study shows.

     Scientists are surprised at how fast the things are happening. "I feel as if the world is changing in front of our eyes," said Douglas, a professor at a university of New York. "It is not just down the road somewhere. It is just running toward us now."

     The study reports that at least 70 kinds of frogs (青蛙)have disappeared. It also says that between 100 and 200 kinds of animals living in cold places, such as penguins and polar (极地) bears, are in serious danger.

     "We are finally seeing some animals and plants disappearing." said Douglas. "Now we can see the problem. It’s here. It's real." He said that more and more animals moving north to cooler places and they were accepting the changes. Plants grew faster than usual. The number of penguins is dropping quickly in the western Antarctic (南极). Polar bears are dropping in number and are losing weight in the Arctic (北极).

     Recently, leaders from more than 180 countries met in Kenya to talk about global warming. The leaders agreed on the next steps to cut down warming gasses. German's leader said, "We should take action at once."
