Jenny was a pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the supermarket, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace（珍珠项链） priced at $2.50. Her mother bought the necklace for her but she had to do some housework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when he finished the story, he said, "Jenny, could you give me your necklace?"
“Oh! Daddy, not my necklace!" Jenny said. "But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay?"
“Oh no, darling, that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night, little one.
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny for the necklace after her favorite story.
"Oh, Daddy, not my necklace! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She's my favourite."
"No, that's okay," her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams."
Several days later, when Jenny's father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling（发抖）."Here, Daddy," she said, holding out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father's hand.
With one hand her father held the plastic pearl necklace and with the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue box. Inside the box was a real, beautiful pearl necklace. He had had it all along.

Now more and more people in the world are getting fatter. This troubles them a lot. Experts(专家) say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits.
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than vegetables and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲).
It's important for us to eat our meal in the same period each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞) the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have trouble in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.

Hi, I'm Wei Yan. There are many kinds of delicious food in the world. But I like beef noodles best. My parents also like beef noodles. But my mother is too busy to cook for us, because she is a famous doctor in a hospital. So when I want to eat beef noodles, I often go to the restaurant.
Yesterday I went to a restaurant to eat beef noodles. On my way back home, I thought I should learn to make beef noodles. If I can cook them, I will make beef noodles for my mother on her birthday, October 28.She must be very happy. So when I got home, I began to learn to make beef noodles on the computer.
First boil some noodles. Then cut up some beef. Next mix them up and add some relish. Now you can eat them! They are not only delicious, but also good for our bodies.
