6．It was a beautiful Saturday morning，a perfect morning for playing or swimming．However，Tom had to finish the work．Aunt Polly gave him．As Tom started to paint Aunt Polly's very long fence，along came Ben Rogers with a juicy apple in his hand．
Tom was silent．He focused on his painting like an artist．
"Looks like a lot of work，Tom．"
Tom turned suddenly．"Oh，it's you，Ben!I didn't notice．"
"I'm going swimming．Don't you wish you could come instead of doing work？"
"What do you call work？"asked Tom．
"Isn't that work？"
Tom kept painting and answered carelessly，"Well，maybe it is，and may be it isn't．All I know is it isn't work for me．"
"Oh come on．You can't mean you like it？"
Tom continued painting．"Like it？Well，I don't see why not．Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence every day？"
That put the thing in a new light．Ben stopped eating his apple．Tom swept his brush carefully back and forth，added a touch of paint here and there，and stopped to take a look at it all．Ben watched every move and became more and more interested until he finally said，"Tom，why don't you let me paint a little？"
Tom considered Ben's offer．"Well，no，I can't let you，Ben．You see，Aunt Polly's very proud of this fence．I think there isn't one boy in a thousand，maybe two thousand，that can do it the way it's got to be done．"
"Oh come on．Let me try．I'd let you，if I were painting，Tom．"
"Ben，I'd like to，honestly，but Aunt Polly，well…"
"I'll be careful．Just let me try．I'll give you some of my apple．"
"Well，no，Ben．I'm afraid…"
"I'll give you all of it!"
Tom slowly gave Ben the paintbrush．Ben took the brush eagerly and started to paint．On his face was a look of regret but in his heart，he was satisfied．

5．UNICEF is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund．
It raises money and helps millions of young people around the world．
There are four main UNICEF projects at the moment：
Under Fives．Every year，ten million young children die．We can stop this．We can give children a better start in life-healthy food，a good home and a good school．
Child Workers．Many children do not go to school-they work in factories．They often work twelve or fourteen hours a day．And about 300，000children in the world are soldiers（士兵）---some are only eight years old!This is wrong and we want to stop it．
Girls'Education．More boys than girls in the world go to school．Some girls do not learn to read or write and later in life they don't get good jobs．Education is good for both boys and girls．We want more girls in schools
Medicine．Every year more than two million children die diseases because they do not have enough medicine．Medicine is not expensive．We give medicine to 40% of the world's children，mainly in Africa and Asia．

2．Have you ever seen a horse with toes？Millions of years ago，horses had many toes．They had four toes on each front foot．They had three toes on each back foot．The horses were no bigger than the cats．These small horses lived in the forest．The toes helped the horses run on the soft，wet ground．
At first，it was very hot in the forest．But the weather changed．It became very cold．Many trees could not live in cold weather．The trees died and fell．Open fields took the place of forests．The sun made the ground dry and hard．
Horses began to change，too．They began to get bigger．This took a long time．On the dry，hard land，horses needed only their middle toes for running．Their middle toes became hard．After a long time，horses had only one hard toe on each foot．Now we call this hard toe a hoof（蹄子）．
