Ben goes to a flight school and asks to have helicopter flying lessons.

So Ben starts up the motor and takes off. He goes up to about 500 metres and then radios in. “I’m doing great! I love it! Lots of beautiful sights.”
At about 1,000 metres, Ben radios in again. “This is easy!” Then the instructor watches as he climbs over 1,500 metres. And now she’s beginning to worry because Ben hasn’t radioed in. A few minutes later, the instructor watches with fear as Ben crashes(飞机失事) about half a kilometer away.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell into an unwanted well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to find out what to do. Finally, he decided it just wasn’t worth saving because the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each held a shovel(铁铲) and began to shovel dirt(泥土) into the well. At first the donkey cried loudly when he realized what was happening. Then, a few shovel-fulls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer looked down into the well, and was greatly surprised by what he saw. With every shovel-full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.
As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, to the great surprise of everyone, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and walked off fast.
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The good way of getting out of the well is to stop crying, and not to let the dirt bury(埋葬) you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each one of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Pop-ups are shops, restaurants or art galleries that open for a few days, weeks, or months, then close again. They are often advertised through Facebook and Twitter, or by word-of-mouth. Pop-ups can appear in all kinds of places: the street, the park, train stations, hotel lobbies, department stores, city squares.... They’re popular in the UK, Australia, Canada and the United States, and many other countries.
There are several types of pop-up shops. The Swedish menswear brand Brothers has
The Suitcase Store. This is a large, old-fashioned suitcase with built-in shelves for
the company’s suits, ties, and shirts. It’s touring most big Swedish cities. In 2008,
Reebok opened a one-month store called FLASH in New York City’s CVZ modern
art gallery; and WIRED magazine opens an electronic shop every winter in New York
City with a big launch party full of famous people.
Pop-up restaurants often use clever marketing tricks(计谋) to attract customers. People
don’t know where The Disappearing Dining Club is until it’s fully-booked. One of
their events was made up of a five-course dinner with welcome cocktails and canapés
for £55. They also had DJs and live music.
The 180 Restaurant and Bar in Paris opens for 180 days from 7th January to 7th July.
It lies on the top floor of the Pullman Hotel, with fantastic views of the Eiffel Tower.
One new item is added to the menu on the seventh day of each month. It’s advertised

When Greg Hoffman opened his Christmas present from his mother, he was deeply impressed with the 18-point contract(合约) he had to sign, which says how he is to use his new iPhone.
“I just couldn’t understand. Why did mother really have to do this?” he told a reporter from Good morning America.
Some of the rules made by Janell Hoffman are that she owns the phone and pays for it and she will always know the password(密码) and the phone should be handed over each night. Greg should also get ready to receive the calls from his parents at any time if he wants to keep his new phone.
“If it rings, answer it. Say hello and be polite. Do not ever pay no attention to a phone call if the screen reads ‘Mom’ or ‘Dad’. Not ever,” Rule 3 says.
Failing to follow the above rules and other rules such as not taking it to school and turning it off in public will result in the 13-year-old boy losing his new phone.
“You are a good boy and you should get this gift. But with acceptance of this present come rules. Please read through the following contract. I hope that you understand it is my job to bring you up a well-rounded, healthy young man who can keep up with the changes of technology and not be ruled by it. Failing to obey the following list will result in losing your iPhone,” the contract says.
“I love you and look forward to sharing several million text messages with you in the days to come,” the contract adds.
The rules are made to teach him to break the bad habits that many teens get into when using their mobile phones.

It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers.
In ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system (体系) of numbers to use. He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones or pebbles he had. It may explain why the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus” which means “stone”.
Later on, man used tally marks to count. People would just scratch(划下) a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.
The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers. Again we have word that goes back to this. The word “digit” comes form the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! An
