    It was a Sunday morning. Peter was watching TV in the room while his brother Bill was doing his homework. At ten their mother came back with a bag of oranges. Peter liked them and wanted to eat them quickly. But his mother stopped him. She gave five to each son and went to the kitchen. Peter ate his oranges soon but his brother was busy doing his homework and didn't eat his. Just then, the telephone rang and Bill ran to answer it. Bill's friends asked him to play soccer with them. And when Bill talked with his friend, Peter took two of his oranges away and ate them. Bill found it and called him out and beat him behind the house. Peter didn't tell his parents about it.

    The next morning Peter's teacher, Mrs Ball, taught the students subtraction(减法). Peter was looking at the bird in the tree out of the window and couldn't answer her questions. The teacher started to give him an example," If your brother has five oranges and you take two from him, what will the result be?"

   "He'll beat me, teacher," answered the boy. All his classmates started to laugh.

    It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.

    Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset.Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick!

    But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.

    If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.

    Some of us, just like some adults, are more private(有隐私的) than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.

    A proverb is a short, well-known saying that tells a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world.

    Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."

    Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed(有保证的).

    Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources(资源) together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.

    Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."

    Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."

    Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.

    Finally, here is one of our favorite pro­verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.

    That's all for today. Thanks for listening.
