     One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, "Look! There's a
horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag." Thomas said, "It isn't worth the trouble." His father said nothing
but he picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the
horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries (樱桃).
     The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn't a house or
even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped
a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another
cherry and once again, his son lost on time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
     And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas
had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, "My dear son, if you had bent (弯腰) down early to pick
up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always
remember the lesson that he who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great
things."

     On July 23rd, 1993, Wang Jiapeng lost his legs when his plane crashed. Wang was only 12 years old.

     Wang's mother took him to a special hospital in Beijing. She looked after him in the daytime and worked

learn to do things myself."
     For the next few years, Wang taught himself all his middle school subjects in the hospital and, five years
after the accident, he won a chance to study in a college in Norway. Wang learned to drive, go rock climbing
and ski. He even won two gold medals for skiing in an international skiing competition.

     On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in
your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you
can do to feel good and have fun when you're hot?
     Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or
even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read
stories or paint in front of a fan. You don't need to move your body very much. These are just some of the
cool things to do on a hot day.
     In addition, it's important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water
in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don't wait for thirst before you start to
drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your
water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.
     The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and
drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot
weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day---one that doesn't need any cooking.
1. Is it easy to know what to do to feel good on a hot day?

2. Is playing in water a good choice or a bad one?
