A woman and a lawyer(律师) sat next to each other on a flight (航班) from LA to NY. The
lawyer asked if she would like to play a fun game.
The woman, tired, just wanted to take a rest, politely declined and leaned(倚靠) over to
the window. The lawyer kept and explained that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He
explained,“I ask you a question and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $ 50 , and
vice verse(反之亦然).
Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep.
The lawyer went on saying, “Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I
don't know the answer, I will pay you $ 50!” Considering (考虑) that there would be no end
to this topic unless(如果不) she played, the lady agreed.
The lawyer asked the first question, “How far is it from the earth to the moon?” The
young lady didn't say a word, took out five dollars from her handbag and handed it to the
lawyer.
Now, it was the lady's turn. She asked the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs,
and comes down with four?” The lawyer was greatly puzzled. He took out his computer and
searched all of information. He searched the Internet and sent e-mails to all of his friends,
but no one could help him. After over an hour, he woke up the lady and handed her $50. The
lady politely took the money and tuned away.
The lawyer, very puzzled now, woke the lady up again and asked, “Well, what on earth is
the answer?” Without a word, the lady reached into her handbag, handed the lawyer another
$5 and went back to sleep.

Homework is your teachers' way of evaluating( 评 估 ) how much students understand the
lessons in class. As a student, you always have too much homework, but you have to fi nish
it. Here are a few tips to make homework easier to do.
Make a homework plan. First, write all the tasks down in your notes. If you forget them,
please ask the teachers again. Second, use any extra time in school to do your homework.
Watch where you work. Find a place at home. It doesn't need to be very large, just big
enough to put your school things on it. You'd better not do it before a computer or on your
comfortable bed. It's hard for you to concentrate on(集中) your homework.
Get to work. When you start your homework at home, do the hardest problems first. Later,
when you feel tired you can do the simple ones, don't spend too much time on a difficult
problem. You can ask your parents for help, or call or e-mail a classmate for advice.
Have a rest. Having a 15-minute rest every hour is good for you. After you finish
your homework, check it over. Be sure to put it away in your schoolbag. Now you're free to
play outside.

When I was young, my friend and I bought our favorite candies from Mrs. Smith's Store
every day on our way to school. My favorites were Sherbet Suckers and Liquorice Bootlaces.
Mike told me I should never eat Liquoric e Bootlaces. Mike's father was a doctor. He
said that it was made from rats' blood(耗子的血). The father told his young son a lot about
Liquorice Bootlaces after he found that his son ate it. “Every rat catcher in the
country,” said the father,“ takes his rats to the Liquorice Bootlace Factory and they pay
him for each rat. Many rat catchers have become rich by selling rats to the factory.”
“Don't ever eat them,” said the father. “If you eat, you'll get ratitis.’
“What is ratitis,
Daddy?” asked young Mike.
“It's a very terrible disease,” said the father.
“I see. But what will happen to me if I get it?” asked young Mike.
“Your teeth will fall out one by one,” answered the father. “And a short tail (尾
巴) will grow out of your back. There is no medicine for ratitis. I know. I am a doctor.
We all enjoyed Mike's story. We asked him to tell us this wonderful story many times
on our walks to and from school. But any of us didn't stop buying Liquorice Bootlaces except
Mike.

To be a better me
Time is passing quickly, I'll be a student in Grade Nine. To be a better me, I'll try
my best to improve myself. Here is my plan on how to do so.
Firstly, I'm going to exercise for at least an hour every day and eat healthily.
Secondly, I'm going to work hard on my schoolwork and do some reading in my free time,
because I don't think learning only happens at school. Also, I'm going to take up a new
hobby to relax me. Finally, I'm going to help my parents with the housework. In this way,
they won't be too busy and tired.
I think I'll be better and better.
