Tony never eats fish． This is not because he is allergic（过敏） to fish as food． He simply does not like the taste of it． You may not think this quite surprising， until I tell you that he has been a fisherman of one kind or another for most of his life．

    At first， fishing was just a hobby． He used to sit on the river bank with his fishing rod（鱼竿） in his hand， waiting to feel the pull on the line． It meant a fish was trying to get the food from the hook（鱼钩）． He wound（收回） the line as soon as possible and took the hook from the fish's mouth， recorded its size in a notebook， then threw it back into the water．

    Later， he used to go to sea on his friend's fishing boat． Instead of throwing back the fish they caught， his friend took them home， where his wife cooked them or put them in the fridge for future meals．

    Finally， Tony took a job on a large fishing boat． In their huge nets， they caught many fish at a time． Every time Tony found some small fish in the nets， he would say to himself： "How poor you are!" Again， Tony threw the small fish back into the sea．

The first Chinese actor captured （征服） the hearts of many Chinese in the USA． He read a letter by Zhuge Liang（181～ 234）to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms（220～280）period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon（《虎啸龙吟》）

    The letter has been read by so many students． We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language． As a result， foreigners begin to show interest in Rommance of the Three Kingdoms， translated bt C．H． Brewitt﹣Tailor and Robert E． Hegel．

    Earlier in November 1979， pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey． Most of them were hearing the story for the first time． However， the story of the Monkey King isn't new to Chinese Children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West．

    As soon as the TV programme came out more than 30years ago， western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up．

    Chinese scholars（学者） should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature（文学） to the rest of the world． At the same time， we could encourage western schools to try something different．

    Reading international literature is an effective way of understand other people in the world． And the more we understand each other， the more beautiful the world will be．

    Do you ever wish you were as thin as a model（模特） or as strong as your favourite football player？ Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little． Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up．

But learning what you can and can't change about your body is part of growing up， too． It can be hard to do． But when people accept the way they look， they often feel happier．

    Some children worry that they're not growing and developing as fast as their friends． It's important to know that puberty（青春期） doesn't happen at the same time for every child． And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner!

    Eating healthy foods and exercising more can make all children feel better． Why？ Because they will help you feel energetic （精力充沛的） and keep your body working just the way it should be．

    Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun， but they don't do much for your body because you sit when you do them．

    But when you move your body﹣by playing， dancing， taking part in sports， or even cleaning your room﹣you exercise your muscles（肌肉）． When you exercise the muscle， it gets stronger． And when you have strong muscles， you can do whatever you want to do!
