Getting married and having children was my childhood goal in life. By the time I had my third daughter, my middle daughter was not quite two and my oldest was three and a half. I loved them so much, yet there were some days I referred to as “too much of a good thing”.As any mother of young children knows, when the children are quiet, they’re either sleeping or in trouble. This morning, I knew that the only sleeping child at this time of day could be my baby. I was wondering whether I should enjoy the silence or ruin my peace ? and the girls’ fun.Finally, I thought I’d better go and find out what those two were doing. I could hear a noise. It was coming from the bathroom. As I got closer, I could see that the door was closed. I said to myself, “Oh no, please not the

toilet again!”Sure enough, when I opened the door I saw Candace and Charity standing around the toilet, dipping their toothbrushes in ? and brushing their teeth! Not only that, but the toilet was unflushed (沒沖洗的)!I hardly had any words to speak. As I snatched the toothbrushes out of their hands and flushed the toilet I shouted, “What are you doing?!”Candace, my oldest daughter, answered, “We’re brushing our teeth!” They both smiled at me.Hoping this was the only time they had ever done this shocking thing, I asked, “You never did this before, did you?” Candace answered, “Oh, we do it all the time, Mommy.

a place known as the Canadian Arctic. The land is covered with ice for most of the year. The seas turn to ice during the nine months of winter, and the climate is possibly the worst known on the earth.Winters in the Canadian Arctic are long and extremely cold while summers are short and cool. Midwinter is short of daylight, and the summers are ever bright, but if you want to see the northern lights on a winter day, there’s no better place to view them.For many years “the people of the ice” have been referred to as Eskimos, a word that means “eaters of raw meat”. Today, the people we once called Eskimos go by the name of Inuit (因紐特人). Inuit, meaning “the people”, is the name they use for themselves. The Inuit are believed to have moved to North America from Asia.As a simple people, the Inuit for the most part live a nomadic (游牧的) lifestyle. Although some of the Inuit settle along the coastline, many move about in search of food. They both fish and hunt according to the seasons, only taking enough food to survive on. Nothing from the hunt is wasted. Food, shelter, clothing, weapons, tools, and even means for transportation come from animals they hunt.The Inuit population is small, only one person for every 250 square miles of land. Small bands of the Inuit people live together, usually five to ten families. While the men go hunting, the women will stay behind to cook, prepare clothing and shelter, gather wood for the fire, and care for their families.43. The Canadian Arctic is considered to be a good place to .A. enjoy the northern lights B. avoid the summer heatC. hunt animals D. go fishing44. We can learn from the passage that .A. Eskimos used to eat meat without cookingB. Eskimos have no place to live inC. people in the Canadian Arctic call themselves EskimosD. Eskimos are all from Asian countries45. Why didn’t most of the Inuit live in a fixed place?A. Because they didn’t know how to build houses.B. Because it was

The Inuit don’t enjoy the modern lifestyle.B. Most of the Inuit still live a hard life.C. It is crowded with people in the Canadian Arctic.D. Women take more duties than men in the Canadian Arctic.DOne of the first things you notice about different cultures while traveling is the wide variety of table manners. Western table manners can be completely opposite (相反的) to those in Eastern countries. So when you are faced with something new, it is best to just go with the flow. Hopefully the locals will help you out. But we have found some countries that are particularly different that you should be prepared for!In most Western countries, people are taught it is impolite to make noises while eating and you can even find people embarrassing when they accidentally slip out. But in some Asian countries, eating noises are accepted as a part of eating and sometimes considered the sign of a delicious meal.In the Philippines the general rule is to wait…and wait…and wait when dining in a family’s home. It is polite to wait to be asked to sit for dinner, to wait to be shown where you should sit and to wait to be invited to start eating. This is very different from the dining traditions in Afghanistan homes when they have guests present for a meal. The guests are invited to eat first, while the hosts wait patiently for them to finish eating, so they can eat whatever is left. This shows true patience and self-control. Ethiopia has a tradition which is called “gursha” and involves people feeding each other with their hands. The host starts by feeding his or her neighbor and then feeds everyone else in the circle. Once they are finished the next person in the circle does the same and so on and so on.All of the above might seem strange to some people but to the locals, this is a part of everyd

He had a few fruit trees. But as he was getting older, he began to notice that he had no strength to pick the fruit. 52One day, the wolf was trying to pick the fruit, but he couldn’t reach even the lowest branches of such a big tree. 53 He offered Howler a ladder (梯子), but in return the wolf would have to give him half of whatever he picked. Only then would Martin continue lending him the ladder.54 He soon realized that he could eat more fruit if he didn’t have to give Martin his share, so he thought up a new secret plan. He managed to steal the ladder from Martin one night. Then in the daytime he went off to other trees in the area for more fruit. At last, Martin found the la
