【题目】Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. But as I chose and read, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to say to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.

Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we'll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, dad. I don't like carrots…but I like planting them with you.

I guess what I am trying to say is exactly what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising(赞扬) a father on Father's Day is not just about a dad who brings home money or shares a dinner. It's also about a dad who deeply loves children. He knows everything about his children and won't listen to anyone. It's about love that can't be expressed(表达) in words, and I wish that it would never end.

Love,

Jenny

【题目】 We brush our teeth every day but few people know how well we’re brushing. Today, a French company has introduced an electric toothbrush, which can work wirelessly(无线地) with a smart phone. It’s called the Kolibree toothbrush. It has different models, and will cost from $99 to $200.

Users download an app and connect via Bluetooth, and the Kolibree will record

1) the time you spent brushing teeth

2) whether all areas of your mouth are reached

3) whether you brush up and down instead of just side to side.

Then it will send the information to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, telling you whether you have brushed in a proper way. The Kolibree app records your progress and scores your brushing way to help you improve brushing habits.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other apps on your phone, so developers could create a game controlled by your toothbrush. That would be very interesting.

The Kolibree toothbrush was invented by Thomas Serval. He says the idea of inventing it came from his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They always answered “yes”, but Thomas used to find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided that a kind of brush was needed to tell him how well they brushed their teeth.

Thomas says that one day, it’ll be possible to use a brushing unit with a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

【题目】 Remember, I had crashed in the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited place. Yet my little man seemed neither to be hunger nor thirst or fear. When at last I was able to speak, I said to him, “What are you doing here?” And he repeated slowly, as if he was speaking of a great result, “If you please-- draw me a sheep...”

It might seem funny to me. I took out of a sheet of paper and my pen. But I told the little chap(家伙) that I did not know how to draw. He answered, “That doesn’t matter. Draw me a sheep...”

So then I drew a sheep for the first time.

He looked at it carefully and said, “No, this sheep is already very sickly. Make me another.”

So I made another drawing.

My friend smiled gently, “You see yourself, this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns.”

So I did my drawing again. But it was refused too, just like the others.

“This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time.”

By this time I lost my patience, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine. So I drew this drawing.

And I drew the last one for him. “This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside.”

I was very surprised to see a light break over the face of my young judge.

“That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think that this sheep will have to have enough grass?”

“Of course,” I said. “It is a very small sheep.”

He smiled, “Not so small--Look! He has gone to sleep...”

And that is how I knew the little prince.
