A young American doctor was asleep when his door bell(门铃) began to ring. It was late at

night. But what could the doctor do? He had to put on his coat. It was a man! He was standing

outside with a hat in his hand. "How do you do?" said the man, "Can you come at once(立刻) to a place out of town? It's quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way. ""Certainly." said the doctor, "I can come at once."

Soon the car was at the front door. The man got on the doctor's car and they drove off. They drove for a long time, and then the man said, "Here we are. This is my home. Now I can give you money, and you can go back to the town."

"But I must see the patient (病人)." the doctor said, "How can I go back without seeing the patient?" "There's no patient," said the man, "No one is ill, I live here. There are no taxis at this time of night, but a doctor often goes out for night calls(夜诊). So, excuse me, here's your money. Thank you, doctor. Good night!"

Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring. The teachers at a primary school in the US noticed that, so they changed their students’ desks for exercise bikes as part of the Read and Ride program!

This program began six years ago. A special classroom has enough bikes for every student in any class. Teachers bring in their students to read the books while riding the bikes. There’s also one exercise bike in the back of each classroom for students to exercise.

Their teacher Mr. Ertl said many children found it boring when they read books. This program makes reading fun. They feel happy when they read books while riding the exercise bikes. As a result, the school found that students that spent more time reading and riding did better than others in reading tests.

This program not only helps students do better in study, but also helps them keep healthy. Mr. Ertl said many students were fat and it was difficult for them to take exercise. On the bikes, they try their best to exercise at their own level.
