As life-saver Christopher Walsh rescued(营救) his brother and then his sister from the water of a canal(运河), his mother shouted to him:” I’m proud of you.”
His mother Berry sat proudly and watched last night as Christopher was given the “Child of Courage‟ award by his favorite TV star.
Christopher was in the car with his mother, father, sister Rosie, and brother Mac, when his father drove into a metal barrier.
The family’s car fell down a hill into the canal, and landed with its wheels up.
Christopher, then , swam through a broken window and got out into the fresh air. Then he saw the rest of his family were still in the car-in the water. He took a big breath and swam back to save first Mac, and then Rosie. Christopher, from England, said:“ I didn’t think about it and only knew I had to get them out. I was frightened, but it was all happening so fast, and I didn’t really think about the danger.”
Christopher freed Mac and then swam back to get non-swimmer Rosie, who was under the cold, cloudy water, in the car.
Christopher had to feel for her seatbelt(安全带) because he could not see anything. He took the seatbelt off her, then went up for air. Finally he went back to pull her out of the car.
Berry said:“ When I got to the side and looked back, I thought Christopher and Rosie had gone. I thought they were dead. Then I saw him come up out of the water like a dolphin, and I could see he had Rosie. I shouted across the canal, ‘I’m so proud of you. ’”
Christopher’s father was badly hurt in the accident and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy. He was the oldest of five children in a worker’s family. He enjoyed going to the sea when he was a young boy.
He heard that there was a lot of gold and other valuable things in East India. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship. On August 3, 1492, he sailed toward the west from Palos, Spain with three ships. After many days, the sailors had covered a long distance on the sea and were ready to turn around for home when they saw land, an island Columbus named San Salvador. He thought he had found the Indies and called the people he saw there “Indians”. When they got to Cuba, he thought he was in Japan. The world was a lot larger than he thought.
In his life, he made four trips across the ocean. His 13-year-old son, Ferdinand, went with him during the last time. He returned to Spain in 1504. Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension(退休金) the king and the queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World. He died in 1506, still believing that he had found a new route to East India and that he had reached Asia.
Columbus didn’t get to school very much, but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. He is remembered by all not only for the New World he discovered, but also for the way he led for other explorers.

How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here’s a good example.
Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.
The Meek couple didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities.
Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks’ would go out to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we’ve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.
So we should do more outdoor exercise to keep healthy in our spare time.

April Fools’ Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. In France, it’s called “Fish of April.” In Scotland, the holiday is often called “Gowkie Day.” In Iraq, the holiday is called “April Lie.”
People have celebrated April Fools’ Day for a long time. Some believe the tradition comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago. It was a day of playing games and pretending to be someone else.
Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles changed the yearly calendar. He moved New Year’s Day from April 1st to January 1st. Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems back then. Some people continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st. Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them.
In the United States, April Fools’ Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends. These kinds of jokes are also called pranks. These jokes usually end in the shouting “April Fools!”
Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still common. But, major companies also get in on April Fools’ Day fun in a much bigger way. A few years ago, on April 1st, Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes—Plenta and Micra. The very large cups, bigger than a human head, remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee. According to Starbucks, the cups could be used as a rain hat, a pot for plants, or a lampshade (灯罩).
More and more, people use smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools’ Day. One smart phone app, Cat Facts, sends funny facts about cats to your friends’ phones, every day.
Do you have any ideas for April Fools’ Day pranks? Have your friends played pranks on you before? Tell us about one in the comments (评论) section!

How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going
How to Start a good conversation
“Hi,my name is Sara.”“I’m Frank. Nice to meet you.”
Introductions,like the one above,are a great way to begin a good conversation.When you introduce yourself,be confident and comfortable.That will make others comfortable,too.After the introduction,wait a bit.If the other person doesn’t ask a question,you ask one.Starting with a question shows interest in the other person.You could ask” What do you do?”or“How do you know our host?” But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different.“What did you do last weeked?”and“Have you seen any good movies recently?” are two topics you could ask about.Another good way to start with is” Tell me about yourself.”Most people love talking about themselves.
How to keep a good conversation going
As the other person begins to answer your question,look for the same opinion.If you ask about last weekend,the person could talk about a bike ride they took.When the person finishes his opinions,you could mention an experience that you had with biking.You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in.
When the other person is talking,be interested in them.Listen carefully to their answers.Don’t look around the room.That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them.
If you are answering the question,don’t go on and on.Answer the question and then stop.A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth.
With some practice,you’ll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone!

Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they are there to teach you a lesson, or to help you understand who you are or who you want to become.
You never know these people who may be a classmate, a neighbour or a friend—but when you lock your eyes on them, you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.
Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant, painful, or frustrating at first. But in another way, you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability, strength or will power(意志力).
The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.
If someone loves you, give love back to them in the way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive(原谅) them, for they have helped you learn about truth and the importance of being careful of people around.
Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you’re not confident, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

Tea, coffee and cocoa are three major drinks all over the world. Tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea, as well as silk and porcelain, began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then.
Tea has a history of over 4,000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink tea daily.
Longjing, Pu’er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Thanks to the mild climate and rich soil in Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan, tea is produced mainly in these provinces.
The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese, like ‘cha’i’ in Russian. And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese.
Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea leaf picking, tea making, tea drinking and so on. Tea is also popular in some sayings, like ‘A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea.’ In dances, songs, poems and novels, tea is often mentioned, too.
