"This is John，" said Mr Turner． The boy standing next to him was tall， with a friendly face． I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs （大拇指） up． That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group． They smiled at him and he smiled back．
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them． I was sure he wouldn't choose me． I wasn't one of the cool kids．
"Hyun， I want you to be John's buddy this term，" said Mr Turner． Me？ I couldn't believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction． Adam and Chen even looked unhappy．
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me． He smiled at me．"Hello，" he said in a confident voice．
"Hello，"I replied， not looking at him．
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me， but John didn't seem to notice．
Finally the bell rang for a break． I had butterflies in my stomach． I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John， and that John would decide that he'd rather be buddies with them．
Sure enough， as soon as we got outside， Adam and Chen swaggered （大摇大摆地走） up to us．
"Mr Turner says you're a good basketball player， John，"said Adam． "How'd you like to play with us at lunch break？ Hyun doesn't know anything about basketball．"
"No thanks，" said John．"I'd rather play chess with Hyun，if he doesn't mind． Mr Turner says he's an excellent player．"
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground． I remembered the saying we learnt in class about not judging （判断） a book by its cover． I completely misjudged John．

A kind of little cars may take the place of today’s big ones many years later. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.
The little cars of the future will cost less. Driving will be safer, too, since these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for going around a city, but they will not be useful for a long way. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline (汽油).

Bruce and Bruno looked worried those days. Their father went to a town far away. Before leaving, he said he would write to them as soon as he found a job there. But two months passed, they did not hear from him. Now they had nothing except the old house and they had no money to buy any food. They thought for a long time. Then they decided to sell the house and look for their father. So one day the two brothers said goodbye to their friends and started to go. They got to the station and bought two tickets.
They were afraid that they would be hungry in the train, so they went to the market to buy something to eat. They saw bananas for the first time. The seller told them the bananas were very delicious, so they bought five kilos and got on the train with them. After a while Bruce brought out a banana and bit(咬) a little. Just at that moment the train went into a tunnel(隧道) and it was dark in the train. He was afraid and called out,“Have you taken a bite of your bananas, Bruno?”
