Today Mum and Dad
go to visit grandparents. I stay at home with Momo
because I
have a math test on Monday.
I let Momo run in the yard when I am
studying in my room. He barks a lot. I do not
want him to disturb me, so I close the
glass door between the yard and the living room.
Later I feel tired and I fall asleep.
Soon some noise wakes me up. It is
raining heavily. Oh, poor Mom is all wet. I open
the glass door at once to let him in. I
dry his hair and give him a bone. Momo is very
happy. He does not feel sick at all.

Vegetarians
Vegetarians choose mot to
eat meat for some reasons. Sometimes they just
don
’
t like
meat,
so
they
don
’
t
eat
it.
Some
vegetarians
think
that
having
meat
is
unhealthy.
Others
think
that
it
is
wrong
to
kill
animals.
They
feel
animals
are
living
thing
as
people, and that we
shouldn
’
t hurt them. Still
other vegetarians feel that if people ate
more grains, such as corn, rice and
wheat, and less meat, food would be cheaper, and
fewer people in the world would get
hungry.

Mrs. Robinson was a teacher in a big
school in a city in America. She had boys
and girls in her class, and she always
enjoyed teaching them, because they were quick,
and they thought about everything
carefully. One day she said to the children,

(8) Medicines
The most
common(
普通的
) illness in the
world is the cold. It often starts with a
sore throat. You
sneeze
（
打喷嚏）
and your nose hurts. You usually have
headache too.
Often you have a cough
after that. It
’
s not a
terrible illness, but you can feel quite sick.
5
There
isn’t
a
cure
（
治愈）
for a cold, but you can take some
medicine to make you
feel better. For
example, you can take
aspirin(
阿司匹林
) to get rid of
your headache.
It is good to have a
rest and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor
once told me
“
with
the right medicine, a cold will last
for seven days. With no medicine, it will go on a
whole week!
”
Where
does
our
medicine
come
from?
A
long
time
ago,
people
understood
that
some
plants
made
them
feel
better.
They
ate
the
leaves,
the
roots,
the
fruit,
or
the
seeds of
the plants. For example, the juice of lemons makes
a sore throat feel better.
Now,
scientists have looked at these plants, and found
out which chemicals(
化学物质
)
are in them. Many of our medicines
today are made from those chemicals. There are
some illnesses which we
can
’
t cure yet. And nobody
has found a cure for old age. But
because of medicines, people live
longer than their grandparents.

Mr. and Mrs. Yates had one daughter.

much. Then she met a very nice young man. His

Watts,

in
a
bank
near
her
office.
They
went

together quite a lot, and he came to
Carol

house twice, and

Carol went to her
father and said,

“
Oh,

her father said.
“
He is a nice
boy
—
but has he got any

“
Oh, men! All of you are the
