Old Dawson had the best apples in town，but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple，even off the ground，because Dawson，a bad tempered (坏脾气的) man，they said，would come after you with his gun.
One Friday，12 year old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy.They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house.Like most of the children，Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.
Amy said that Mr.Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone.Still，Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house.When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉)，but when he saw it was Amy，a big smile changed his whole face as he said.“Hello，Miss Amy.I see you've got a little friend with you today.”
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games.Dawson told them that sounded fun，and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.
As they walked on，Janet asked Amy，“Everyone says he's the meanest man in town.Why was he so nice to us？”
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house，he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him，but she always smiled at him.It took a while，but one day he half smiled back at her.
After some more time.he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her.Just a “hello” at first，then more.She said he always offers her an apple now，and is always very kind.
We're always trying to achieve so much，and it's so easy to get caught up in (被卷入；陷入) everyday life that we forget we can bring cheer to ourselves and others simply.Giving a smile takes so little effort；let's smile to others.

We use our smart phones to carry out many tasks every day.Many of us have become so reliant on them.However，it is bad for our eyes and health to use too much phone.
A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning.They check personal emails and Wechat.And before they get out of bed，many people often check the weather，read the news，and send a message or two to friends.After getting up，they often take photos of food，themselves，and even whatever they can see with their phones.They share their photos with their friends.The research finds that users pick up their phones more than 1，500 times to do different tasks in an average (通常的) week.And the smart phone users are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day.That is to say，people use their phones for almost one full day each week.
Using phones will take much time and it's also for our health.Many people stay up late to play phones.And mobile phones will influence our sleep.Without using the phones，many people will feel sad.Many owners also find they use their phones without realising they're doing so.

Tony and Jane give their opinions about keeping pet dogs.
Keeping pet dogs is a good idea, says TonyI think people should be allowed to keep pet dogs. There are lots of reasons for this.First, dogs are really cute. It's nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms, and it's wonderful to see them growing up quickly.Second, your dog might not be dangerous but by simply barking(吠)he can keep away a burglar(窃贼)who might think of entering your house.Finally, we can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect(尊重)all living things by keeping a pet dog.I think keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy. Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea, says JaneIn my opinion, it is never a good idea to keep a pet dog.Firstly, pet dogs create a lot of mess. They leave fur(毛) and hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed daily.Secondly, we should remember that not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs bark at people they do not know. A few dogs bark all night. This stops their neighbors from getting any sleep. A small number of pet dogs even bite(咬) people.Lastly, you have to make sure pet dogs are in good health and provided with good pet products. Paying_for_dog_food_and_visiting_the_vet_when_dogs_are_ill_can_be_expensive.I believe that people should not keep pet dogs.

In the UK，most children have lunches at school，but in some schools，parents can choose what their children eat.The children can have a school dinner—a hot cooked meat；or they can take a packed lunch with them，which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want.Cath，a mother of three children，told us，“My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners.So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However，another mother，Susan，made a different choice.She said，“My daughters have always had school dinners.I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners？Kaz，a father，thought poorly of them.He said，“Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen.He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers，pizzas and chips.So he tried to cook healthy food such as vegetable soups and curries (咖喱) for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners，and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school.Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country.And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna，a pupil，told us，“We used to have a fast food window where we got chips and coke，but they stopped that this year.There's salad restaurant，which is good，so it's healthier than it was.”

A soap opera called “Tiger Mother and Cat Father”is popular in China now.The tiger mother is pretty strict with her daughter and the little girl is not allowed to watch TV or play computer games.On the other hand，she makes all efforts to buy the expensive house near the key school，in order to let her daughter have a better education.However，the cat father has an opposite view of how to raise their child.He gives her daughter more independence and doesn't make many rules for her.Which one is better，“Tiger Mother”or“Cat Father”？
In China，it seems that in each family，there is a tiger mother and a cat father，even worse，some families have two tigers.Children can't decide anything for themselves.What's worse，Chinese mothers believe key school will bring a better future to their children.This soap opera fully shows us a common problem in China.And maybe it is the real reason why such kind of TV shows can get popular.
