The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff￡¨?"?÷￡(c) they call "books".
I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn't answer. In fact, I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. "Oh, dear!" I cried. "Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!" We pupils are the most pity creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate ￡¨3/4?í?μ?￡(c) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, "Oh God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen." My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America?ˉs fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don?ˉt like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children.
His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home, and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children's Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in 1949. This is how the SOS Children's Village started. The letters SOS stand for "Save Our Souls." This means "Please help us!". An SOS Children's Village gives help to orphans.
Hermann Gmeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first village are grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children's Villages.
In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest villages have 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them. The children go to school, they go out with their friends and they go into town.

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual (ì?á|μ?) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (oà"aμ?) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. His mother and father were of Puritan (??1/2ìí1/2μ?) religion. They left England and moved to the English colony of Massachusetts in order to escape persecution (?èo|) for their religion. In Boston, Franklin left school when he was ten years old and worked for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brother's newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen. Because he wanted to be independent, he went to Philadelphia. There he bought his own newspaper. He worked hard and saved his money. And by the age of 24 he was one of the most successful men in Philadelphia.
In 1732 Franklin published a book POOR RICHARD'S ALMANAC(àú±3/4). Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings, his observations about life, some of these sayings are still famous today. For example, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," and "Waste not, want not," and "A penny saved is a penny earned."

Pearl Carlson was shaken awake at 3:30 a.m. by a forceful pull.
King, the family dog, was trying to pull her out of the bed. Then she smelled
smoke and heard the sound of fire from her parent's room. Pearl's screams
awaked her mother, Fern, and father, Howard, who had recently been in hospital
for lung disease. Helping Howard to a first-floor window, Fern told him to
climb out, then ran to her daughter.
Still inside, King appeared at Pearl's window, making squeaking (?ì′ù1/4a1/2D) sounds. When
running toward Pearl's bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadn't yet escaped.
She made her way back through the smoke and flames, following King's sound to
where Howard lay semiconscious (°?"è??) on the floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only
after both were safe.
As day dawned, the Carlsons saw that King's paws were badly burnt,
and his entire body was burnt, too. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it
burnt his throat, making it impossible for him to bark (1/2D) normally. Only
after the seven-year-old dog refused food did they find pieces of wood in his
mouth and realize that King, who slept outside, had bitten through a wood door
to warn his family.

Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (?ü?ê1/4í??) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac?ˉs body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn?ˉt stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France?ˉs close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain?ˉs close links with the US.
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of "doubtful friendship", they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here?ˉs one: What?ˉs the best thing about Britain?ˉs relationship with France? The English Channel.

Ruth Mckenney was born in 1911 in Mishawaka, India. She grew up in
Cleveland, Ohio, and at the age of fourteen she got her first job working
nights in a printer's shop. She also worked as a waitress, but after dropping
two fruit salads on the floor, she was fired￡¨1/2a1í￡(c).
While Miss Mckenney was studying in an Ohio State University, she
found an outside job as a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch. In fact, she left
college before she got her degree in order to devote all her time to newspaper
work. She later worked on papers in Akron, Ohio, and New York City.
In New York, Miss Mckenney began to write stories about the
amusing experiences she shared with her sister. These were published in the New
York magazine, and later in a book called ?°My Sister Eileen?±. This book
was an immediate bestseller, and soon became a hit play. Miss Mckenney has also
written a guide to England and a number of serious books on American labor.
Miss Mckenney married Richard Bransten in 1937. They had one
daughter. It came as no surprise when the author named her Eileen.
Ruth Mckenney died in 1972.

In the United States elementary education begins
at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly
married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now
accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and
interested. The old authoritarian (òa3/4???·t′óμ?)
methods of education were discredited (2"±"è??é) rather a long time ago
--- so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the
direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving
them actual instruction.
????The social education of young
children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need
to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation
rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious,
in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the
need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of
the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas,
and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the
educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people
sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through
kindness and friendliness.
