Once upon a time, there was a hungry fox that was looking for something to eat. He was very hungry. No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not find food. Finally he went to the edge of the forest and searched there for food. Suddenly he caught sight of a big tree with a hole in it.

Inside the hole was a package(包裹). The hungry fox immediately thought that there might be food in it, and he became very happy. He jumped into the hole and when he opened the package, he saw a lot of bread, meat and fruit!

An old woodcutter had placed the food in the tree trunk. He was going to eat it for lunch.

The fox happily began to eat. After the fox had finished eating, he felt thirsty and decided to leave the trunk and drink some water from a nearby spring. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get out of the hole. Do you know why? Yes, the fox had eaten so much food that he became too big to get out of the hole.

The fox was very sad and upset. He told himself, “I wish that I had thought a little before jumping into the hole.”

Three roommates from the US found $40, 000 in a sofa. Later they gave the money back to the owner.

The roommates, Reese Werkhoven, Cally Guasti and Lara Ruso, paid $20 for the sofa from a store.

One night, they were sitting on the sofa and felt something must be in the sofa. Mr. Werkhoven opened one part of the sofa and found an envelope（信封）with around $4, 000 in it.

But then the roommates found a phone number on one of the envelopes. The next day, they called the person to say what they had found.

The owner was a 9l-year-old lady, she put the money in the sofa. However, her family did not know about the money and gave the sofa away.

The roommates drove to the woman’s house to return the money. When they gave the money back, the old woman cried and gave the three roommates $1, 000 to express thanks.

Miss Guasti said that they thought about keeping the money at first, but they knew that they would have felt wrong to use it.

I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not
56． to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always
57． “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of
58． Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in

Sixteen is a special age in the United States. There’s often a special celebration for a girl’s 16th birthday—a big party called Sweet-l6. It is like a wedding reception(结婚晚宴) in the number of guests and gifts handed out.

About a month before the party, the girl’s family sends out invitations to the guests.They must buy a special present for the birthday girl and the girl guests find good dresses to wear. A Sweet-16 present usually costs $40 to $60. This is about $20 more than the usual cost of a birthday present.

The party itself is not held at someone’s house. The hostess rents(租赁) reception hall for the event. Food, cake and a DJ are provided. Around 6 o’clock, guests arrive and meet the birthday girl. Then the girl and father have a special father daughter dance. After that, guests dance for about 30 to 45 minutes.

Then there is the most important part of the Sweet-16 party, the candle-lighting ceremony.

The Sweet-16 hostess stands behind 16 unlit(未点燃的) candles and dedicates(献给) each candle to her friends, family, and anybody that she feels is important to her. A lot of crying and hugging go on at this time.

After wards, people sit and eat. Most guests begin leaving around 11 o’clock.
