Mr. and Mrs. Green lived in a big city, and one summer they went to the country（乡下）for their holiday. They enjoyed it very much, because it was a quiet, clean place.

    The old man said, “Yes, I do.” Mr. Green said, “What are the good things about it?”

    The old man answered, “Well, the people here know each other. They often come and visit me, and I often go and visit them. And there are also lots of children here.”

Father is always busy with his work. He knows nothing about housework. He never eats if everyone doesn’t cook for him.

One day, Mother was ill in bed. Father had to cook himself. First， he had to go shopping. But he didn’t know what to buy. So Mother wrote all these things on a piece of paper：

（1）cake（2） egg （3） tomato （4） fish （5） milk （6） salt （7） chicken

Father went out with the paper in his hand. Half an hour later he returned home, with a smile on his face. He brought out all the things: ONE cake, TWO eggs, THREE tomatoes, FOUR fish, FIVE bottles of milk, SIX bags of salt and SEVEN fat chickens. Mother was very surprised and she couldn’t say a word.

Many men are happier when they do some housework according to a new study.

The result surprised the workers who started the study .“We wanted to find out that men got more problems and that their life became worse when they did more housework after work，” a worker at the University of Cambridge said.The study was made in seven European countries with thousands of people. They were analyzed how much time they spent on chores such as cooking，washing，cleaning，shopping. The workers put the surprising result down and find that more and more men like doing the housework and women are more confident than they were in the past.

“In the past, men might feel sad, because doing some housework might influence their work. Women also had the problem for a long time，” the studyˈs report said. “Now some men live a better life after doing some chores.”

What will the weather be like in the future? Some people say they can forecast the weather from some animals.

If birds are flying high in the sky, there will be a nice day. When they sit in trees or stay close together, bad weather is on the way. Ants(蚂蚁) often build their homes on the steep(陡峭的) side just before the rain comes. Cats like to clean their ears before the rain. Chickens make a loud noise and run here and there when the rain is coming. Frogs will stay in the water and make a lot of noise, too. But on a nice day, they are quiet and jump out of the water. Turtles(海龟) often look for higher places and cows like to lie down when the rain is on the way。

They began by looking at the big fire trucks. “Being a fireman is a hard job,” said Uncle Frank. “You need to be in good health and get enough rest.” The kids got to try on some fire hats and climbed on the trucks. After looking at all the trucks, the class went inside, and Uncle Frank showed them where they stay when they are not fighting a fire. Uncle Frank told them that when there is a fire, the alarm rings. Just as he finished showing them the alarm, it rang! All the men ran to get ready to leave for the fire. “I am sorry,” said Uncle Frank to the class. “We need to leave now, but Mr. Martin will stay with you.” The firemen ran quickly to the fire trucks and left the station.

One day, while he was looking for a tree to cut down, he decided to cut down a tree that was near a lake. While he was cutting down a tree, his old axe(斧头) fell into the lake by mistake. He said to himself, “Oh my God. If I donˈt have my axe, I canˈt cut down trees and then I will not be able to make any money. How will I take care of my parents?”  He felt very sad because he lost his only axe.

At that time, the god of the mountains appeared from the Lake and asked "Why are you sad?”    “I am a woodcutter, and when I was cutting down the tree, my axe fell into the lake. If I donˈt have my axe, I won’t be able to make any money” he answered.

"I am willing to bring you your axe.” said the god of the mountains. The god of the mountains disappeared. The god soon appeared with a gold axe. He asked,  “Is this gold axe yours?” “No it isnˈt.” he answered.
