A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin (街頭小乞丐) was walking around a shining car. “Is this your car,Paul?”he asked.
Paul answered,Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas. ” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy,I wish...”he hesitated (猶豫) .
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“ I wishthe boy went on ,“ that I could be a brother like that. Paul looked at the boy in surprise,then he said again ,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“ Oh,yes,I'd love that. ”
After a short ride,the boy turned with his eyes shining,and said,u Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. ^Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast. He.was carrying his little crippled (殘疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is. Buddy,just like I told you upstairs,his brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it ...then you can see for yourself all nice things in the Christmas window that Fve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world.①But it wasn’t always like that.
The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848,a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. H became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew. ②Nowadays, other things are added to the fflim to make it soft and sweet.
By 1890,there were hundreds of different chewing gum. The most famous name in chewing gum,however,was probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays.③He also said that chewing fflim helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.
Although today many millions of people chew gum,not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum,they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running,for example,may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways,and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries,people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st - January 1st.
