Kate’s grandfather was ill. It was Saturday. Kate was on the way to see his grandfather. The hospital was very far, so she had to take a bus.

When she got to the bus stop, there were already many people there. They were standing in line. The bus was late. Kate didn’t want to wait in this queue. She went to the front and stood there. One of the people said to her: “You mustn’t jump the queue.”

With a red face Kate said sorry and went to the end of the line. Soon the bus came. All the people got on the bus.

Can we live without salt? No, salt is very important to us, we need salt in our food. Animals need it, too. Most of the salt in our country comes from the sea. People dig very big pools and let sea water in. When the sun dries up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.

There are a lot of salt wells (井) in Sichuan. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the water up to the ground and then dry it in big jars over fire. In this way, they get salt.

We can also get salt from salt mines(矿). A salt mine may be found under the ground. Some years ago, people in Jiangxi found a big salt mine and opened it. People there don’t need salt from other places.

In the northwest of our country, there are many salt lakes. Some of them are very big. The salt even in a big lake will be enough for our people for centuries.

What is the sky? Where is it? How high is it? What lies above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they?

Is the sky blue? The sky has no color. We know that they're around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high because when they go higher, the air gets thinner. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we find there is no air. Perhaps we can answer some of our questions now. The sky is space. In this space there is only the sun, the moon and all the stars.

American boys and girls love to watch TV. Some children spend (花费) six hours a day in front of the TV set. Some children even watch TV for eight hours or more on Saturday. Many parents let their children watch only during certain hours(在特定时间).

TV shows are like books. A child can learn bad things from some of them and good things from others. Some shows help children to understand(理解) the news from Washington and other parts of the world. Some programs (节目) show people and places from other countries or other time in history (历史). With TV a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the sea to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a basketball game at home. Some programs even teach children how to cook or how to use tools (工具).

It is fun to watch TV, but it is also fun to play games, to read a book or to visit friends.

Ann loves the underground(地铁) in London. She always likes to travel on the underground because it is fast. She doesn't find it difficult now, as she has got used to(习惯) it. Ann knows the underground map very well. Each line has its own color. For example, the Central Line (主干线) is red, the Piccadilly Line (皮凯德里干线) is blue, and so on. Londoners(伦敦人) always call the underground “the tube(管子)”. When you see the long tunnels (隧道) underground, it isn't hard to understand why. Yesterday Ann went home on the underground at about five o'clock in the afternoon. She got a surprise. Since (因为) everyone was going home from work, the trains were full. This was the “rush?hour”, and it was a new experience (经历) for Ann. There were a lot of people, but trains came every minute. Everyone waited and didn't push. As her train was full, Ann had to stand, but she didn't mind. In the train she saw a sign. It said, “Keep away from the rush?hour.” “I will, next time.” Ann thought!

The earth moves round the sun, and the moon moves round the earth. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.

The sun is much bigger than the moon. But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun. Because it's much nearer to the earth.

The sun is very bright. It gives very strong light. The moon looks quite bright too, but is doesn't give any light at all(根本). The light from the moon comes from the sun.

The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the other stars. But in fact(实际上) many stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon because they are farther away from the earth.

Life and Cafeteria(生活与自助餐)

My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe(东欧). After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order(菜单). But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite(与……对面)him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said.“Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing(愿意) to pay the money. You can even get success(成功), but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

There is an old English saying. It tells us that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever. This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten hours' sleep every night. Children who do not have enough sleep cannot do their work well and they may not be healthy.

The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.

Exercise also helps the blood to move around inside the body. It is very important. Our blood moves to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. Exercise helps us to think better.
