Once there was a relative who offered a man and his three sons two baskets of peaches(桃子). One basket of peaches were just ripe(成熟) while the other were already overripe and would go bad at once. The father asked, “Which way of eating can avoid wasting a peach?” The eldest son said, “Of course, we should eat those overripe, for they can’t be kept for three days.” “But after you eat up those, the peaches in the other basket will go bad!”Certainly, the father was not satisfied with the eldest son’s advice. The second son thought for a while and said “We should eat the peaches just ripe. Choose the good ones!” “If so, won't the overripe peaches be wasted? Don’t you think it pity?” The father turned to the youngest son, “What good idea do you have?” “I feel,” thinking for a while, the youngest son said, “we’d better mix them together, give some of them to the neighbors, and let them help us eat, so that we won’t waste a peach at all.” Hearing this, the father nodded and said with a smile, “OK.

Earthquakes are something that people fear. There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world, however, have them regularly ( 有规律地).

How to make friends at a new school Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 1. However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends. Be yourself. 2. If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot. 3. Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible! Believe in yourself. A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接触) with other people. 4. Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from. Remember people’s names. You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 5. Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy. A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time. B. Be friendly to others. C. Join afterschool activities you like. D. Making new friends can be hard, too. E. Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you! F. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”. G. Never change who you are to try and fit in.
