"Will you come with us，Susan？"cried several girls．"We are going to the woods，do come，too．"
"I should like to go with you，"replied Susan，"but I can't finish the task Grandmother set me to do．"
"How boring it must be to stay at home to work on a holiday！"said one of them，shaking her head．"Susan's grandmother is too strict．"
At this，Susan lowered her head，wiped away a tear，and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers．
Soon she said to herself，"What harm can there be in moving the mark Grandmother put？The woods must be beautiful today，and how I should like to be there！"
"Grandmother，"said she，a few minutes afterwards，"I'm ready now．"
"What，so soon，Susan？"Her grandmother took the work，and looked at it very closely．
"True，Susan，"said she，"true，I have counted it，and，as you've never deceived（欺骗）me，you may go and enjoy yourself．"
Susan's face turned red，and she did not say"thank you"．As she left，she walked slowly away，not singing as usual．
"Why，here is Susan！"the girls cried．"But what is the matter？ Why have you left your dear grandmother？"they jokingly added．
"It's nothing．"As Susan replied，she felt she was trying to deceive herself．
When the girls had reached an open space，they ran about enjoying themselves except Susan．Sitting on the grass，how she wished she were at home confessing（承认） her fault．
After a while Rose cried out，"Let's make a crown of violets，and put it on the head of the best girl here．"
"It will be easy enough to make the crown．but not so easy to decide who is to wear it，"said Julia．
"Why，Susan is to wear it，of course，"said Rose，"is she not said to be the best girl in school and the most obedient（顺从的） at home？"
"Yes，yes，the crown shall be for Susan，"cried the other girls．
"Now，Susan，"said Rose，"put it on in a very careful way，for you are to be our queen．"
The crown was placed on Susan's head．But in a moment，she snatched it off，threw it on the ground and said，"No crown for me；I do not deserve（值得）it．"
The girls looked at her with surprise，"I have deceived my grandmother，"said she，while tears flowed down her cheeks．
"Do you think that bad？"asked one of the girls．
"I'm sure it is and I have been miserable all the time I have been here．"
Susan ran home，as soon as she saw Grandmother，she cried，" O Grandmother！I should be punished，for I moved the mark．Do forgive me；I am very sorry and unhappy．"
"Susan，"said her grandmother，"I knew it all the time，but I let you go out，hoping that you can realize your fault．I am so glad that you have confessed your fault．"
"When shall I be your own little girl again？"
"Now！"was the quick reply，and Susan's grandmother kissed her forehead．

Peter is a sixth-grader at Woodland Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. John, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Woodland Secondary School. He began smoking four years ago. “Smoking is part of my life,” John said. Peter and John are not those boys’ real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens or earlier.
A study of 8,000 London students shows that smoking is a problem for many British kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6% of primary school pupils said they smoked.
“If young people start smoking early, it will be very hard for them to give up later on,” said a professor.
Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking that number will go up to about ten million a year by 2030 the World Health Organization (WTO) says. So we have to learn and tell others about dangers of smoking.

When do you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole world of its own. It is full of many different living things(生物). But even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on .The trees feed the forest “people” by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and minerals(矿物) from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings(人类) are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks(售货员) to sell it to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know, being a volunteer is so great!

Dear Ralph,
I am a student of Grade Nine. I consider myself a beautiful and friendly girl. Male students say I am easy to get along with, so they are always after me. They call me and send messages from time to time. But I am fed up with them. I just want to learn as much as I can in this golden time. The problem is that I do not know how to refuse or say "no" to them. After all, they are my friends. What should I do? Please give me some helpful suggestions.
Aries
Dear Aries,
Don' t answer any call or message. When you want to study, simply turn off your mobile phone. That way you won't be bothered. When boys call, they will get a power-off (关机) message. After you finish studying, turn the phone back on and reply to people who have sent messages while you were studying. Accept calls only if you feel ready for them. A good friend can understand if you miss his too many calls or text messages, limit the number of people to whom you give your phone number. If you're not sure how well you like someone, first leave just your dormitory (宿舍) phone. Then that person can't bother you all the time. You are right that you need friends, so you shouldn't completely escape from them. I believe you can deal with this problem well and be happy every day.
Ralph

Long long ago, there was a swan(天鹅) with gold feathers. She lived in a lake. A woman lived in a small house near the lake with her two daughters. They were very poor. They worked hard all year round, but still, they lived a hard life and sometimes they even didn’t have enough money to buy food.
The swan was sad to see that. She said to herself, “I’ll give one of my feathers to them each day, then they can live a happy life with the money selling my feathers.” That evening, she flew to the poor woman’s house and left a golden feather on the table without saying anything. From then on , the swan came every day and gave them a feather. The woman was very happy because their life was much better than before.
But day after day, the woman became greedy(贪婪的). She said to her daughters, “The swan may fly away one day. If so, we will be poor again. We should take all her feathers when she comes next time.”
“Oh no, Mom!” cried the daughters. “This will hurt the swan. She helps us a lot!” But the mother wouldn’t listen. When the swan came as usual, the mother caught her and took all her feathers. But suddenly, the golden feathers changed into chicken feathers.
Then, the golden swan said, “Poor Mother, I came to help you, but you wanted to kill me. Now, I am leaving and will never come back. Never be greedy!” With these words, the swan flew away.
