An Honest Boy

hen

people

find something

valuable

and

return it to

its

owner,

they

are

often given

a

reward.

This

is

because the

person

not only found what

was

lost

but

also spent

time to

find

its

ow e,{ or

take

it

to the

police

station.

There

was

once

a

young

boy who found

a

woman's

purse

in

a

shopping

center.

Inside

the

purse

there was

some

money

and the

woman's

driver's

license.

Her

name and address

were

printed

on

the

license, so

the boy

knew

where she

lived. That

evening

he

went

to

her house

and

knocked

-on

her

door.

When

she

opened

it,

he

said,

"I

found

your purse,"

and

handed

it

to her.

"Thank

you

very much,"

she

said.

She opened

her

purse

and

took

out

all

the money.

She

wanted

to

give

the boy

a

small reward

but there were

only

$20

bilis in

the

purse

and

she thought

that

$20

was

too much to

give

the boy.

"I'm

so

sony,"

she said,

"but

I

don't

have

any

small change to

give

you."

The

boy said,'oThat's

all right," and

went

away.

A

few

days

later

he

found

another

woman's

purse.

It

also had

her

driver's

license

in

it,

so

he

knew

where

she lived.

He went

to

her

house

and said,

"I

found your purse,"

and handed it

to

her.

"Thank

you

very much,"

she said. She

opened

her

purse

and

took

out

her

money.

"That's

strange,"

she said.

"Before

I lost my

purse

I

had a

$100

bill and a

$20

bill

in

it. Now

I have

a

$100

bill,

a

$10

bill

and

two

$5

bills."

"Yes,"

the

boy

said, and

smiled.

Hi Tommy,

How

are

you?

l've

been really

busy.

l've

had tests and

had

to

study

hard

for

the

past

three

weeks.

Then

after the test,

there was

the

lnter-School

Soccer Championship. I

play

for my

school, so I had to

practice

for

an

hour

every day,

l'm

glad

to

tell

you

that

I

passed

my

tests. Unfortunately, my team

didn't

win

the championship

but

I scored

one

of

our

two

goals.

We

lost 3:2. lt was

a

good

game.

What have

you

been doing?

Have

you

seen

any

good

movies

or

read

any

good

books?

Have

you

bought any new

computer

games?

I haven't

played any computer

games

for

ages because

I've

been

so

busy, But maybe I can

go

with

my

friend to

play

some

video

games

this

weekend.

I wish

you

could

join

us.

Write

soon,

All the

best,

O.K. l've

ly has moved

a

bored with

dinosaurs now

There's

a

golf

course

near where

we

live. lt isn't

a

private

one.

Anyone

play

there.

I

think I may

take up

golf

when

I have

more

time. My uncle

plays

and he

has

promised

to

teach me.

I

hope

all

is well

with

your

family.

here

was once

a cat named Skipper.

He was

just

an ordinary

cat

who

lived

with

his owners

Linda and Gary

McManamoon

in Texas,

in

the

USA.

One

evening

Gary

and

Linda

were at home

watching television

after

working

hard

all

day

in

their

family business.

Skipper

was also in the

room.

He was

playing

with

one

of

the toys

of

Gary'and

Linda's

children.

This

was a

large clear

ball

with

a

small

hole. There were

lots

of

little

num-

bered

plastic

balls

inside.

It

was

used to

play

the

game

Bingo.In

this

game, the

players

each

have

cards

with

numbers on them.

The

person

in charge of

the

game

shakes

the big

ball until

a little ball

falls

out

of

the

hole. Players who

have

this

number

on

their

cards can

mark

it.

The

first

player

to

mark all

the

numbers

on

his or her card calls

out

"Bingo "

and wins the

game.

Skipper

was

happily

playing

with

the ball, and several

numbers

had

fallen

out

of

it.

These

numbers

were

8, 11,16,25,26

and 42.

Gary often

played

the

State

Lottery. For

thelottery,

players

have to choose six correct

num-

bers. He wrote the numbers Skipper had shaken out

of

the

plastic

ball.

The

next day

Linda

bought a

lottery

ticket that

had allof these six

numbers.

These

were the

winning

numbers

of

the

lottery

Gary

and

Linda

won the huge

prize

of

US$3720000

They

have

given

Skipper everything

a

cat could ever want, but they

don't

he realizes

here

was

once

an inventor

who took

another

man to

court

for

copying his invention. He hired

a

top{awyer

to

argue

his

case

before

a

judge.

It

was

a difficult

case.

But

the

lawyer

for

the

inventor

had the

strongest

arguments. She

was

able to

show that

the inventor

owned

the

product.

In

the

end, the

judge

said

the man had

to

pay

the

inventor

a

large

amount

of

money.

The inventor

was

very thankful

to

the

lawyer for

doing such

a

good

job for

him.

He

wanted to

give

the

lawyer

a special

reward, so

he

went to

the lawyer's

office

to

pay

her

and express

his

thanks.

He

stood

in front of

the

lawyer's desk

and handed

her

a

wallet.

It was a very

good

wallet

made of

the

finest

leather.

"Please

accept

this,"

the inventor

said,

"with

my

thanks for

everything

you

have done

to

help

me."

The lawyer looked

at

the wallet

and made a sour

face.

"I'm

sorry,"

she said,

"but

my

fee is far,

far

more than this wallet.

You

must

pay

me

$1,000."

"I

see,"

the inventor

said.

"You

want

$1,000

from

me.

Is

that

right?"

"That's

right,"

the lawyer

said.

"$1,000.

And that's

cheap

for

all

I've

done

for

you."

"OK,"

the

inventor said.

"Give

me

back

the wallet,

please."

The

lawyer

gave

the wallet back to the inventor.

The inventor

opened

the wallet. Inside there were five

$1000

bills.

He took

out

four

of

them

and

then

gave

the

wallet

back

to the lawyer.

these words-street, road,

court,

crescent,

lane,

and avenue

are

different words

for

streets.

However,

each

has

a

special

meaning.

Street maps

are divided

into

squares. These

squares have

let-

ters

and

numbers. Every

street

is

given

a number

and a letter.

This is

called

the

map reference.

For

example,

Smith

Street is

,A.3. This

means

that

you

can find it

on the map

if

you

look

for

the .A.3

square.

Some streets are

so

long

that

they

are

in

more

than

one square.

To

find

a street, look for

it in

the index,

then look

for the let-

ter

and

number

on the map.

Find

the

following

streets

and fill in

the

missing map reference:

ne

morning,

when Tom

Jones

woke up,

he had

a bad

headache and a sore

throat.

Tom went

to

the

clinic.

There were

a

lot of

people

in

the

waiting

room,

and

Tom

had to

wait

a long time

before the doctor

could see him. At

last, the doctor

was

free,

and

the nurse showed

Tom into the doctor's

room.

"Sit

down, please," the

doctor

said,

"and

tell

me

your

prob-

lem."

'oWell,"

Tom

said,

"I

have

a bad headache

and a sore

throat,

and

I

can't

stop sneezing."

"You've

just

got

a

cold,"

the doctor

said.

"There's

no

cure

for

a

cold. I'm soffy, but

I

can't

give you

anything that will make it bet-

ter. Just

go

home,

drink

a

lot

of

fluids,

and

go

to bed

for

a

few

days."

Tom was not happy.

"There

must be something

you

can

give

me,

doctor,"

he

said.

"I

don't

want to be

like

this

for

several days."

The

doctor thought

for

a

moment. Then he

said,

"O.K.

Go

home

and

get

into

a hot bath.

Stay

in it for half an

hour

until the

water is cold. Then

put

on

your

swimming

suit

and

run around

the

streets until

you

are

really cold. Then

lie

down

on

the

grass."

Tom was

surprised.

"But

doctor," he

said,

"if

I

do what

you

are telling

me to

do,

I'11

get pneumonia.

That's

much

more

serious

than

an

ordinary

cold."

'

"Iknow,"

the

doctoruuid,

"but

there's

a

cure

for

pneumonia."

Scrabble

crabble

is

a

crossword

game.

There is a board,

a bag

f-1r11

of

letter tiles,

and

smaltr

raeks

to

put

the tiles

on.

Letters

like

Q,

X, and

Z

are

not common

in

English words.

They

ard

worth more

points

than

common

letters

like

E,

S,

and

N.

For example,

"E"

is worth

only

I

point

and

there

are

many

"E"

tiles.

The

letter

"Q"

is worth 5

points

and

there

are

only

two

"Q"

tiles.

The

game

begins

with all

the

letter tiles

in

abag. This way,

the

players

can't see the tiles.

Each

player

takes

seven

tiles

and

puts

them on

the

rack

in front of

him or

her.

The

players

can't

see each

other's

tiles.

The

Scrabble

board

has

many

squares.

In turn,

players

try

to

make words

with

their tiles

and

put

them

on

the

squares.

The

words

can only

go

up

and

down or

left

to

right. The

first

player

puts

down

a

word,

and it

must cover the

star

in

the

center

of

the

board. The player must take new

tiles to

replace

the

ones

used

to

make

the word. The

next

player

must make

a

word using the

word

that

is

on

the

board.

To

find

the score,

players

add up the

value

of

each tile

in

a

word. For example, the

letters

"S",

"T",

and

"A"

are each

worth

1

point.

So

the word

"sat"

is

worth

3

points.

The

pink

and blue

squares have a special value, too.

For

example,

if

the

"Q"

tile

is

on

a

trlple-letter

square.

then

it

would

be

l5

points,

not

just

5

points.

If

the word

"sat"

is

on

a

double-word

square,

then it is worth 6

points.

The

game

continues until

all

the tiles

have been used

and

no player

can

make

any

new words on the board. The highest

score wins
