I hired a man to help me repair an old farmhouse．His first day on the job made him mad﹣﹣a flat tire （轮胎） made him lose an hour of work，he cut his finger with a knife and his old truck refused to start．While Idrove him home，he sat in silence．
On arriving，he invited me to meet his family．As we walked towards the front door，he stopped at a small tree and touched the tips of the branches with both hands．When opening the door，his face was full of smiles and he hugged his two children and gave his wife a kiss．
Afterwards，he walked with me to the car．We passed the tree．I was so curious that Iasked him about what I had seen carlier．"Oh，that's my trouble tree，"he replied．"I know I can't help having troubles on the job，but one thing is for sure．Those troubles don't belong to my children and wife．So I hang themin the tree every night and ask God to take care of them．Then in the morning，I pick them up again．"
"The funny thing is，"he smiles，"when I come out to pick them up in themorning，there aren't as many as those hung up the night before．"

In the world, soccer (or football) is the most popular sport. This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup. The World Cup is held every four years.
To remember the 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from different Japanese schools came together and spent three weeks drawing a big picture called“Dream (梦幻) World Cup”in Japan. The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under bright blue sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags (旗帜) of all countries that would take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama.

There are many kinds of food in the world. Scientists learn a lot about them. They say that there are some kinds of food people must eat every day. For example, people must eat some green and yellow vegetables. We shouldn’t eat too much meat. People also need to eat some fruits, bread and rice. Of course our bodies need some water and milk.
Scientists say people in different countries and different places eat different kinds of food. They cook food in different ways. Different people eat at different times. In one place, people eat once or twice a day. But in another place, people eat three or four times. The scientists say when to eat and how many times to eat are not important. What we eat is the most important thing.
