Bolt is a Disney cartoon movie. The main character Bolt is a little white dog with a big black nose. He has a black mark on his body that looks like a lightning bolt (闪电). Bolt and his owner Penny are stars on a TV show. But Bolt thinks the special effects (特效) on the show are real. For example, he has a “super bark (吠声)” which can cause a great storm. He thinks that he is a superhero.
One day, Bolt is accidentally sent to New York and is all alone for the first time in his life. In New York, he finds out he doesn’t have superpowers. He believes it’s the bad Doctor Calico who has stolen his superpowers and he thinks that Calico is trying to hurt his owner, Penny. He meets a cat called Mittens. She tells Bolt that Penny is waiting for him back in Hollywood. That’s when their journey across America begins.
During their long trip home, they also meet a crazy hamster (仓鼠) called Rhino. The three have a fun trip together and Bolt learns more about the lives of Mittens and Rhino. The three of them become friends and begin to like and trust each other.
Once they reach Hollywood, Bolt rushes to the TV station to meet Penny, but there is a terrible fire and Penny is unable to get out of the building. Bolt finds her and uses his bark.

Ashlyn Blocker was a quiet baby. She didn’t cry even when she was hungry. Her parents felt lucky to have such a calm (镇静的) child. When Ashlyn was eight months old, Mr. and Mrs. Blocker noticed a problem with her eye. It was red and looked painful, so they took her to the doctor. As he checked on Ashlyn, the doctor carefully touched her sore eye. Patients, especially babies and children, usually don’t like this, and they try to move away. Ashlyn didn’t do this. The doctor was surprised. After checking, he began to realize that Ashlyn didn’t feel pain.
After discovering that their daughter couldn’t feel pain, the Blockers no longer felt lucky, because Ashlyn could easily hurt herself and not know. As Ashlyn began to move around more and to walk, keeping her safe became more and more of a challenge.

Now doctors are studying Ashlyn and other people who don’t feel pain. They want to understand the condition and help people who have it. But they also want to understand how the body can stop pain. It may help them to develop new medicines to block pain — good news for anyone who experiences a lot of it.

Dear Mike,
I’m very happy to receive your e-mail. From it, I have learned that you are having trouble with deciding if you should tell a lie or tell the truth.
Yes, it’s not always bad to tell a lie. Sometimes it’s necessary for us to do so. For example, if you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings by telling the truth, you can lie.
I have lied to my best friend before. Once, during an English test when she wanted to copy my paper, I told a lie. I said I hadn’t finished it. She got very angry and didn’t talk to me after the test. A few days later when I was going to have a talk with her, she said she had realized what she did wrong. She said sorry to me. We became friends again.
I hope my advice helps you. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
