Oil is so important that it is sometimes called “black gold”. Almost half our energy from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you your hands with might also be made from oil. Children’s plastic toys are made from oil.
Oil is to find, because it is deep under the earth. Today, however, we have many to find oil. One tool measures (测量) the pull of gravity (重力). Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. tool measures sound waves. Sound waves travel different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use to find the rocks that have oil in them.
We need oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. we must find new ways of looking for this “black gold”. Can you do anything for it?

Once in a small village faraway, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.
A happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced (蹦跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway h his lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great , he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was with 1000 great smiles. As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a very place. I will come back and visit it .”
In the same village, another little dog, who was not quite as as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly-looking dogs staring back at him , he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and It will never go back again.”

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner.
I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night. I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit.
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
, I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect. is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember, bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
