A poor boy had one penny left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. A lovely young woman opened the door. She thought he looked hungry and brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you？” “You don't owe me anything，” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he felt stronger physically and mentally.
Years later the young woman became critically ill and was sent to a big hospital. Dr Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation (咨询). He recognized her at once and he was determined to do his best to save her life.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on it. The bill was sent to her room. She opened it, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.”

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron (围裙). The ritual began after
breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I'll take care of the dishes！” Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like “Who put the chow in Mrs Murphy's chowder？”
I suppose it was strange for a boy's father to wear an apron but I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August.
“Tommy，” he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: a new bike or a part-time job?
“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities.” “Responsibilities？” I asked.
“Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household.” Power tools? Boss my baby brother?
“Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle together.”
“The dishes！？”
“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son？”
Ask me to run through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster backward. These things I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.
People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.
“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could mount a protest, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. Soon I was singing about Mrs Murphy's chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I wanted to be.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
You may think birthdays only mean cake, presents, and a sweet song—Happy Birthday. However, there are many varieties of birthday celebrations. In the West, many birthday traditions come from an ancient belief that bad spirits showed up on a person's birthday. To drive troublemaking spirits away, friends would visit each other on their birthdays. Today, people still get together for birthday parties. But around the world, birthdays are celebrated in many different ways.
In Eastern Canada, children get their noses covered with butter on their birthdays. The butter is supposed to make children too slippery for bad luck to stick to them. Irish people lift birthday children upside down and hit them lightly on the floor for every year of their age. Mexico also has a unique birthday tradition. A paper-made animal is filled with candy and toys and hung from the
ceiling. The birthday child with his eyes covered then tries to hit the animal with a stick until it bursts open.

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
A few months ago, Peter worked for a short time as a cashier(收银员) at a restaurant. He also helped clear the tables when it was especially busy. One night, just before Christmas, he found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. He guessed he should have checked it for the owner's identification, but he was very busy at the time. Also, he figured that if the wallet contained
anything valuable, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. Peter asked him to describe the lost wallet and after he had described it exactly, he gave the man the wallet. The man seemed greatly relieved when Peter handed it to him.
The man asked Peter if he had opened it, and when he was told “no”， he at once opened it and revealed nearly $1，000 in cash. He took out a 20-dollar bill and handed it to Peter. Peter
pushed it back. “Bless you for saving my Christmas plans. It's people like you who make everything in the world look so good.” The man said and then turned and walked away.

Diet is very important in people's life. From 1986 to 2010, people's diet changed a lot. Grain was no longer regarded as the main food. And as the proportion(比例) of fruit and vegetables declined, the consumption of milk and meat increased.
What caused these changes? There are two reasons. One is that with the development of science, people began to realize the importance of maintaining a balanced diet. The other is that people had more money to spend and could afford more expensive food. They tried to change their low-priced diet into a more varied one. They were eager to build up a strong body by improving their living standards.
With the development of our economy and improvement of our food supply, further
changes will take place in people's diet.

The serious decline in the health of Chinese students is causing concern among parents, schools and experts. The next generation's future is in danger and there is a need to understand the causes of the problem and find a solution.
In the last 10 years, studies have found an alarming increase in：
·Obesity—The number of overweight middle school students has doubled. Poor diet, especially the overeating of junk food and the overdrinking of soft drinks, and the lack of physical activity are identified as the main reasons for this problem.
·Poor eyesight—More students now wear glasses from an earlier age. Long hours of study and heavy use of computers and mobile phones are most commonly blamed.
·Stress—Students feel under more pressure to succeed than ever before. The long hours of study and homework they must do to achieve success, plus pressure from parents and schools are the main causes.
Some have suggested including physical education (PE) in the College Entrance Examination as a possible solution to students' health problems. They say this will force students to be more active, play sports and therefore lose weight. Others, however, oppose the idea, saying that adding one more test to the College Entrance Examination would only increase students' workload and stress and would actually worsen their overall health.
Although there is no easy answer, all agree that something must be done to stop the serious decline in students' health.
