There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in winter，，the third in summer，and the youngest son in the①fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no. It was covered with green leaves，and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said there was lots of fruit in the tree，full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，but they had each seen only one season in the treeˈs life. He told them“You cannot judge a tree，or a person by only one season and its true nature－the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end，when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when itˈs winter，you will miss the promise of your spring，the beauty of your summer，harvest of your fall. Donˈt let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

Everyone wants to relax after working or studying for a long time. I have many ways of relaxing myself. Let me tell you some of my favorites.

I am a big sports fan, so the usual way I relax is to watch or play many kinds of sports. My favorite is tennis, but I am interested in all kinds of sports. Whether I am playing tennis or watching a game on TV, it is exciting to see team members doing their best. It’s amazing to see players playing very well. It’s true that playing sports is not physically(身体上地)“relaxing”, but I find it really cool, and a good way of “relaxing” my brain（脑） after a day’s hard work.

I enjoy listening to music, and I always have some music playing during my free time. I listen to all types, but I enjoy listening to beautiful piano music. Some people can’t study while listening to music, but for me, I believe I can study better by listening to light songs.

Some people choose to relax by traveling. I don’t have a favorite place, but I hear that traveling in Australia is really enjoyable. I like visiting different kinds of places and eating famous snacks there. I also enjoy sightseeing and seeing how the culture and people change from place to place.

Thanksgiving Day is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. (1)It is a time to relax, watch a football game, go to a movie and enjoy a big dinner.

(2) 人们在1621年庆祝了第一个感恩节。This early celebration was the beginning of today’s holiday celebration.

(3)今天，我们大部分人享用搭配不同种类食物的火鸡。For those who do not like turkey, roast(烤肉) is common. As a tradition in most families, a special prayer(祈祷) of thanks is offered(提供) before the meal. In many homes, family will say something or somebody they are very thankful to.

(4) Did you know potatoes were not part of the first Thanksgiving? Because people at that time had not yet brought them to North America.

(5) After the first Thanksgiving, people didn’t remember it until 1800. It was usually celebrated in late September or October. In 1941, Congress(国会) made it a national holiday and set the date as the fourth Thursday in November.

The social network(社交网络) is a lot of fun. You can chat with friends, meet different people and share your favorite things with the world. You may like it just because your parents don’t know what you’re doing. So cool! But remember that there are some dangerous things about it. And some scary people hang out there, too. The good news is that you can protect yourself. Here is some simple advice for having fun and staying safe online.

Firstly, only allow your friends to get your information. And be careful with what you’ve posted on the network. Never share your phone numbers, addresses, ect. online.

Secondly, remember that not everything you read online is true. Do you have these experiences online: saying something that is not true; pretending(假装) to be others, or to be older or younger? Others may do the same things.

Thirdly, if you’d like to meet someone in person, talk to you parents about it. Yeah, it’s not cool. But they can try to make sure you’re safe. That way, you protect yourself, and you can still have some fun.
