13、All boys and girls like good stories. I am sure that all children who read The Ugly Duckling will be glad to know something about the ‘King of Story Tellers’, who wrote it for them. Thousands and thousands of children have read this story, only to ask for it again and again. It has travelled the wide world over, and has been told in every country.
Hans Christian Andersen, the author of “The Ugly Duckling,” was born in Denmark. If you look on a map, you will see this little country in northern Europe. There, in the little village of Odense, he spent his boyhood. His father and mother were very poor. The family lived in two little rooms near the top of a house, where his father worked as a shoemaker.
On the roof was a box filled with earth. In this box his mother planted her vegetables. Little Hans loved to walk with his father in the woods, where he could pick wild flowers and hear the birds sing. His father read to him when his work was done, or told him stories. What his father did helped him open up a new world.
Once, when Hans was still a child, he went into a wheat field with his mother and a number of children, to pick the rest wheat which the reapers(收割机) had left in the field. While they were busy picking only a small amount of wheat for each of them, an angry bailiff(看守者) came rushing into the field, armed with a whip(鞭子). All ran, as fast as they could, away from the angry man.____________and the sharp stalks(茎秆) of the wheat plants which had been cut down, cut his feet so that he could not get away.
Unafraid, the boy faced the angry man and his upraised whip. “How dare you hit me when you know God sees you?” he cried, looking fearlessly into the face of the angry bailiff. The whip came down, but not on little Hans. The bailiff admired the boy’s courage, and praised him for it. He sent him home with gifts, rather than punishments.
While Hans was still a boy, his kind father died. Then Hans and his mother were left alone, to care for each other.
“What will you do, Hans?” the mother asked “Would you like to become a tailor?”
“No, mother,” the boy answered; “I will go to Copenhagen and study. One day I shall write books.”
“But where will the money be found to pay your way?” asked the mother.
“I will work, and God will take care of me,” Hans replied.
So the boy left his native village and walked all the way to Copenhagen, which was very far.

14、A turkey named Courage gave thanks to President Obama for saving his life on the day before Thanksgiving. Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned(赦免)the bird on Thanksgiving eve.
The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).
The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D．Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress（议会） ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.
This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

A．President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisis
B．the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before Thanksgiving
C．the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eve
D．the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving Day

We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things.
Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food(流质食物). That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country?
Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the natives(本地人) there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.

17、Stanley, as a son of a very poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.
Therefore, Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we’d still dothat. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of the day. Sometimes the news was unimportant, but it was always taken seriously. Stanley would listen carefully and discuss it with us.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Denmark is ....”
Silence.
Stanley was thinking about what was said. “The population of Denmark. Hmm. Well…” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Denmark is.” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a cl
