How does a young dog or cat get to know a new home？The animal uses its nose．Right away it smells its new places．Then it makes wider and wider circles，smelling all the time．Before long it can find its way home very well，even in the dark．It simply follows something it knows well．
Stories happen about animals who found their way across land they had never smelled before．Take the case of Smoky，a small white cat．Smoky had some funny red hair around its right ear．One day Smoky and his owner began a long journey．They were moving from Oklahoma to Tennessee．When they were just eighteen miles from their Oklahoma home，Smoky jumped out of the car．Then he found his way back to the old house．There he wandered around outside for many days．Finally he disappeared．
A year later Smoky meowed at the door of a house in Tennessee．A man opened the door．"Is that you，Smoky？"he said in surprise．At first he couldn't believe it．Then he saw the red hair around its right ear．It was Smoky!

Everyone has two personalities（性格）﹣the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control yourself，but when you are asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，you often change your sleeping positions．The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep．
If you go to sleep on your back，you are a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas．You don't like to make people unhappy，so you never express your real feelings．You are quite shy and you aren't very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a person who likes to keep secrets．You worry a lot and you are always easily becoming sad．You never want to change your ideas，but you are satisfied with your life the way it is．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．
If you sleep on curled up，you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt，so you are very defensive（防御性的）．You are shy and you don't usually like meeting people．You like to be on your own．
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well﹣balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You're usually careful．You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel worried，but you don't often get unhappy．You always say what you think，even if it makes people angry．

It was a beautiful Saturday morning，a perfect morning for playing or swimming．However，Tom had to finish the work．Aunt Polly gave him．As Tom started to paint Aunt Polly's very long fence，along came Ben Rogers with a juicy apple in his hand．
Tom was silent．He focused on his painting like an artist．
"Looks like a lot of work，Tom．"
Tom turned suddenly．"Oh，it's you，Ben! I didn't notice．"
"I'm going swimming．Don't you wish you could come instead of doing work？"
"What do you call work？"asked Tom．
"Isn't that work？"
Tom kept painting and answered carelessly，"Well，maybe it is，and may be it isn't．All I know is it isn't work for me．"
"Oh come on．You can't mean you like it？"
Tom continued painting．"Like it？Well，I don't see why not．Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence every day？"
That put the thing in a new light．Ben stopped eating his apple．Tom swept his brush carefully back and forth，added a touch of paint here and there，and stopped to take a look at it all．Ben watched every move and became more and more interested until he finally said，"Tom，why don't you let me paint a little？"
Tom considered Ben's offer．"Well，no，I can't let you，Ben．You see，Aunt Polly's very proud of this fence．I think there isn't one boy in a thousand，maybe two thousand，that can do it the way it's got to be done．"
"Oh come on．Let me try．I'd let you，if I were painting，Tom．"
"Ben，I'd like to，honestly，but Aunt Polly，well…"
"I'll be careful．Just let me try．I'll give you some of my apple．"
"Well，no，Ben．I'm afraid…"

Peter laughed and gave me his bill for the work．It said：
| BILL One dining table June 10，2016 Cost of wood 27.00 Paint （油漆） 5.50 Work，8 hours（2 an hour） 16.00 Total （总计） 58.50 |
When I was looking at the bill，Peter said："It's been a fine day，hasn't it？Quite sunny．"
"Yes，"I said．"I'm glad it is only the 10th of June．"
"Me too．"said Peter，"You wait﹣it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month．"
"Yes．Hotter﹣and more expensive．Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th，won't they，Peter？"
Peter looked hard at me for half a minute．There was a little smile in his two blue eyes．I gave his bill back to him．
"If it isn't too much trouble，Peter，"I said，"Please add it up again．You can forget the date．"
