"I want to be a sailor and go to sea"， I told my mother and father． They were very unhappy about this．
"Please don't go． "my father said， "You won't be happy you know． Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life． "and because I love him， and he was unhappy， I tried to forget about the sea．
But I couldn't forget， and about a year later， I saw a friend in town． His father had a Ship and my friend said to me，" we are sailing to London tomorrow． Why don't you come with us？"
On September 1st， 1651， I went to Hull and the next day we sailed for London．
But， a few days later， there was a strong wind． The sea was rough and dangerous， and the ship went up and down up and down． I was very ill， and was very afraid．
"Oh， I don't want to die!" I cried，" I want to live! If I live， I will go home and never go to sea again!"
The next day the wind stopped， and the sea was quiet and beautiful again．
"Well， Robinson，" my friend laughed，" How do you feel now？ The wind wasn't too bad．"
"What!" I cried． "It was a terrible storm．"
"Oh， that wasn't a storm， "my friend answered， "just a little wind． Forget it， come and have a drink．"
After a few drinks with my friend， I felt better． I forgot about the danger， and decided not to go home． I didn't want my friend and family to laugh at me!
I stayed in London for some time， but I still， wanted to go to the sea． So， when the captain（船长）of a ship ask me to go with him to Guinea in Africa， I agreed， And so I went to the sea for the second time．
It was a good ship， and everything went well at first， but I was very ill again． Then when we were near the Canary Islands， a Turkish pirate（海盗）ship came after us． They were famous thieves of the sea at that time． There was a long， hard fight， but when it finished， we and the ship were prisoners． The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco． They wanted to sell us as slaves（奴隶）in the market． But in the end， the Turkish captain decided to keep me for himself， and took me home with him． This was a sudden and terrible change in my life． This Turkish captain was now my master．

In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name ’El Nino’, meaning ’the baby’. It is called ’the baby’ because it arrives around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and smaller at different times. This warm water affects the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino contains a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent weather happens. Scientists think that El Nino existed for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the entire world’s weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can bring floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world’s weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New technology like satellite pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.El Nino is ______.
| A．a storm that hits every two years | B．a huge area of warm water |
| C．a wind from the south | D．some cold water in the Pacific Ocean |
It happens ______.
| A．every year | B．every month |
| C．every seven years | D．every two to seven years |
El Nino ______.
| A．makes the weather better | B．affects the weather |
| C．gives the weather energy | D．predicts the weather |
It is always______ over EI Nino.
| A．sunny | B．cloudy | C．rainy | D．windy |
El Nino affects ______.
| A．everybody | B．just farmers |
| C．only fishermen | D．only students |
We can help the world’s weather by______.
| A．finding out more about El Nino | B．being careful during the floods |
| C．driving cars | D．stopping the greenhouse effect |
______helps to predict El Nino.
| A．Looking out of the window | B．Checking the weather each day |

Richard is an exchange student from the USA. He is teaching his friends at Rose Garden School how to play Softball. He is explaining the rules.
Richard: First, we need a bat, a ball and some bases.
Ben: What are bases?
Richard: They are flat squares that show you where to run. After you hit the ball, you have to run around the bases.
If you stand on a base, you are safe. If you are running to a base, and the other team touches the base with the ball, then you are out.
Jennifer: Oh, I see. How would I hit the ball?
Richard: Have you seen baseball on television?
Jennifer: I have.
Richard: Well, Softball is like baseball, only the ball is bigger and softer too.
Jennifer: Do you like volleyball? I love it.
Richard: I like to play beach volleyball. It’s different from volleyball.
Ben: How?
Richard: In beach volleyball, you only have two people on each team and the court is smaller.
Jennifer: Do you play on the beach?
Richard: Yes. It’s good because if you dive for the ball, you don’t hurt yourself.
Ben: Do you play football at your school?
Richard: Which kind of football?
Jennifer: I don’t understand there more than one kind? I thought everyone play the same kind of football.
Richard: No. In the USA, we have football and soccer. Soccer is a game that is played around the world.
In other countries, soccer is called football. In the USA, we also play a different game called football.
In this game, you throw the ball and you have to wear a helmet to play.
Jennifer: Well, I want to play softball. The rules for playing softball are nearly the same as those for playing baseball.
In a softball game, if your team is running to a base and the other team touches the base with the ball, you are safe.
A baseball is smaller and harder than a softball.
Richard is teaching his friends how to play softball.
According to Richard, playing beach volleyball is much more dangerous than playing volleyball.
Jennifer thought that the word ’football’ had only one meaning.
In the USA, ’soccer’ is also called ’football’.
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new
friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their
friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends． 。．
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play
with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share
something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids
you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make
new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make
friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share
something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!
