A boy was going to study at the best school in town. In the morning, his grandfather took him to the school. When they went into the playground, the children came up.
“What a funny old man,” the boy said, making a face.
“Hey, fatty（胖子）,”another one shouted.
The children jeered at the pair（对，双） and jumped up and down.
Without saying a word, the old man took his grandson（外孙） out of the school gate.
“Wonderful! I don’t have to go to school!” the boy said.
“You do, but not this one,” his grandfather said. “I’ll find you another school to go to.” Grandfather took his grandson back to his house, asked Grandmother to look after him, and then went out to look for a school alone.
Every time he got to a school, the old man went into the playground, and waited for the children to come out at break time. In some schools the children completely ignored（不理会）the old man, and in others, they made fun of him. When this happened, he would turn sadly and leave. Finally, he went into the very small playground of a very small school, and stood tiredly against the wall. The bell rang, and the children came out into the playground.
“Sir, are you all right? Shall I bring you something to drink?” said a voice.
“We’ve got a bench(长凳) in the playground. Come and sit down,” came another voice.
Soon a young teacher came out into the playground. The old man greeted him and said, “Finally, I’ve found my grandson the best school in town.”

I try to find a bit of time for my hobby—writing. I hardly ever write and work weekends. Those are my days to try to recharge （休整）and reduce the stress from my work. I sleep on the sofa during the day, some beer in the open air or go out for a picnic if the weather is nice.
What I’m trying to say is this: if you don’t take some time to slow down once in a while（偶尔） and your life, it will pass you by. You can be unhealthy both in body and mind if you don’t take the time to relax. So this weekend, don’t make any . Just get up on Saturday morning your body says it’s time to get up. Make some coffee, step outside and get fresh morning air, turn on the radio and prepare yourself for nothing.

There is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Although eating properly is important, being kind to others is also good tor your health. Studies show that people who perform kind acts are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.
In one study at Arizona State University researchers, found that many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act. This feeling, called “a help’s high” may actually help reduce stress (压力) as the body releases (释放) naturally painkillers.
Stress can cause’ serious health problems, and heart depression, and .sleeping problems. However, the study found that volunteers had fewer *stress-related health problems when they did helpful things for other people.
The study also found that people who did nice things for others felt better about themselves as well. They had higher self-esteem (自尊), and were’ happier. Many believe this is because volunteers spend more of their time with other people. People who are more outgoing are often healthier.
Another study at the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center confirmed the health benefits of volunteering. A ten-year study showed that people who volunteered live longer than those who didn’t. Although you shouldn’t need a reason to be helpful, it is nice to know that kindness may help you live longer.

Lucky, our beautiful dog, isn’t with us any more. But she brought such joy and love into our lives we still miss her. There are so many wonderful stories about the love in this dog, but my favorite is this one:
It was an autumn day in Minnesota. Unexpectedly, a big snowstorm which no one was prepared for our city.
We have two apple trees in our backyard. Lucky loved apples. When she went outside, she’d hold an apple in her and take it into the house to save for eating later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always that Lucky had brought them into the house.
On the day that it snowed too early in the season, Lucky went outside and I her from the window. I noticed that she was digging to bring the apples to the surface so they could be seen the snow. I wondered why she was doing this. She seemed to be completely busy with some kind of important task to find as many as possible during her yard time.
, she had one apple in her mouth when I called her back into the house. About five minutes later I looked outside. The yard was completely covered with birds. Lucky had all those apples for her bird and squirrel friends to eat. She knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food to survive such an early winter!
