    "You have saved my horse," Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. "Now you shall get a gift for what you did." Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.

    Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Redjewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror's silverframe(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.

    "Only one gift can be yours," the queen said. "Choose wisely." "That's easy," Peter said. "I'll take the chicken." Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.

    "And why did you choose the chicken?" the queen asked. "Well, I don't know much about jewels," Peter answered. "But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while."

    Queen Olivia smiled. "Then you did make a wise choice," she said. "That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable." Peter took the chicken and bowed. "Thank you, your majesty."

    "You are a smart child," the queen added. "I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?" Peter smiled. "Thank you very much!" he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn't worry about their food any more--all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

    When you feel asneeze(喷嚏)or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread ofgerms(细菌). You probably knew that.

    But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might usetissues(纸巾), and put your used tissues into the bin. "If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that." The doctors advised.

    "If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch." said Dr. Hill.

    Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, doorknobs(扶手),elevator buttons(电梯按钮) and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

This isn'tnagging(唠叨). The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to "cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue."

    "The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze." Dr. Benjamin said.

    To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wearmasks(口罩) and often wash our hands. "Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy." Dr. Hill said.

    Many birds come in. Some are eating, and others are dancing.

    Even the prettyblue jay(蓝松鸦)(forget) to be pretty. When he has eaten his fill, he is flying away, crying "Thanks, thanks!"

    What a happy life the tree brings to the birds and the children! But two weeks ago, the tree nearly(cut) into firewood.

    Two weeks ago, the Christmas tree was once in the living room. Kate and Effie, and Sue and Tom, had a happy Christmas Day, for the tree was hung with gifts for them all.

    One day, when the children(play) games around the tree, John came and told them that he was going to carry it into the woodshed.

    "What you(do) with it, John?" the children asked.

    "I want to cut it into firewood," answered John.

    "Oh, don't!" cried the children. "Our beautiful tree! Let us(have) it a little longer!"

    "What will you do with it?" asked John.

    "We(put) it in the yard and make a Christmas tree for the birds," replied the children.

    So John carried the fir tree into the yard. There it(stand) in the white snow, spreading out its beautiful green branches.

    "Now" cried Effie, "let us make some baskets(fill) corns. Then we will tie them to the tree for the birds. "

    What happened next? As you can see at the beginning of the story, the birds are living happily. With the birds and the tree, the children are also very happy. It is hard to tell which are happier, the birds or the children. I believe the tree is the happiest of all.

    Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign "NO CHILDREN." "Why can't we bring our children?" "What on earth does the owner want to do?" The parents were surprised and complained angrily.

    So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?

    Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children. So he made up his mind toban(禁止)children from his restaurant.

    Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.

   In fact, many other restaurants have also met the same problem.Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There's one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. Theyrewarded(奖励) well-behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.

   These methods may be useful for a while, but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.
