I have been keeping
1
pets at home: mice, turtles and rabbits. But golden hanmsters are my favorite. I am always surprised by
2
cute they can be.
It was summer when I first
3
two golden hamsters. They
4
brown, about the size of my hand. When I
5
by, they were cracking melon seeds (嗑瓜子). They did that as
6
as any human! I was so amused (逗乐) that I bought them at once.
The only one who was not happy to see the newcomers was my
7
. She thought
8
would make our home dirty all the time. So I made a
9
for them on the balcony (阳台).
Hamsters always want people to look at them. They try to get noticed by raising the front part of their body,
10
they watch you come and go until you stop and talk to them. Watch out when they start to roller-turn in their cage (笼子). They won’t stop
11
you have tears of laugher!
Hamsters are
12
than you think. One morning several months ago, I found one missing. The side of the cage was much
13
than the hamster and the cage had a lid. How did the little one climb up, open the lid and
14
? I thought hard. But I’ve

Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often
1
that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of
2
? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he
3
that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is
4
wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel
5
toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he
6
her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,
7
make sure that the listener does pay attention
8
what he or she is saying. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that
9
cannot express.
Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place
10
you stay.

Homesick is a compound(复合的) word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each
1
means on its own, of course. But do you know the meaning
2
they are used together? The definition(定义) of homesick is SICK FOR HOME. It means you miss your home.
Now think for a minute
3
SEASICK. If you change the word HOME in the definition to the word SEA, would the definition
4
SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite
5
. Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are
6
,the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick,
7
you want to be is at sea.
Have you ever
8
a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart. People are heartsick when they are
9
deep inside as if their hearts are broken.
And we also have other compound words, such as handshake and
10
. Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know some thing like this in your English study.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next to ours was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including cleaning the window.
Late in the afternoon I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then
it dawned on me
. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点) ?
From then on, whenever I want to judge (判断) someone, I ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? ” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly.

In the opinion of many people, the twoparent family is the correct way to raise children. Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but singleparent families have had to face prejudices(偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the singleparent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States, a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a singleparent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of singleparent families.
When compared to twoparent families, singleparent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What’s more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure(压力) of both work and home. Despite(尽管) these disadvantages, it is possible for singleparent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.
Surprisingly, singleparent families also have some advantages over twoparent families. Single parents have greater flexibility(灵活性) in spending time with children, because they don’t have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.
It’s important to remember that singleparent families have, until now suffered prejudices from some people. They think that it’s easier for the children in singleparent families to drop out of school in teens, and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, singleparent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.

Comets(彗星) are parts of our solar system. Like the planets, they go around the sun.
But comets are not made of solid rocks like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.
The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.
A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion(运动). That’s because the moon is far away.
Each year astronomers(天文学家) discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go away out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.
Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.
But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer(暗淡的) than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.

In the mid 1990s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet companies which didn’t have stores, they sold things only over the Net.
Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called “brick and click” companies. Many stores are made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name “brick and click” comes from.
By the late 1990s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their profits(利润) were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money, and in 2000, many e-businesses were out of business.
In the world of e-commerce(电子商务), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.
