If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising of a British cook.
One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and a snake appeared ... and bit him on the hand.
A few days earlier, the snake came to the from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and under the dish.
“I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again, I threw it the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door,” Mr. Jackson said.
Anyway, Mr. Jackson stayed and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn’t say what was wrong they didn’t know what kind of snake it was.
Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr. Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.
“So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take photo first and then show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Mr. Jackson. “Oh, and if the snake doesn’t smile for the photo, don’t worry!”

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(材料). 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(井) we know about. we must find new ways of looking for this “black gold”. Can you do anything for it?

Saving money sets an example for your children. By teaching your children to save money and plan for the future, you are in control of where you spend your money, and what you do it. It may be one of the most important ideas that you teach your children.

“Never give up!” It is my law of life. It has brought me . I learned the law from my father’s story.
My father was in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework midnight. Life was hard, because they had no !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where people can become rich.
“ don’t I go to America?”he thought to himself, full of hope.
So my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to money in America,”he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire me because I spoke English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was for the first few years. I worked from 10 am to 11 pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t the schooling.”
My father working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,”he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come in life.”That is what I learned from my father.
