13．　　Jack lived in a small house with his mother and younger sister, Anna. They were very poor and often did not have enough food. He was a hard﹣working boy. After school, he would work at shops. In the holidays, he would ask for small jobs on nearby farms.
　　On a Sunday afternoon, his little sister was hungry and she was crying. There was no food at home. So Jack made up his mind (决定) to help her finally even though he planned to go to the park and play with his friends at the beginning.
　　He wanted to get some food for his sister and he decided to go fishing. It was only about 10 minutes' walk from where he lived. He sat by the lake, the hours were passing but Jack was not having much luck. He started to feel sad but said to himself, "I must never give up."
　　Almost at once, he felt a strong pull on the fishing line. It was a very large golden﹣red fish. He ran home and showed it to his mother and sister. They were both smiling when they saw the fish. When his mother went to clean the fish, she had a big surprise. Inside its body she found a gold coin. No one could tell how it had got there but everyone was happy.

　　• Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. Look for the good things in your friends and family.
　　• Learn something new! Have you always wanted to design your own room or learn how to swim. New challenges are fun and give you a sense of accomplishment when you have finished.

15．The Joy (乐趣) of Reading
　　I really enjoy reading when I have free time:One reason I love reading is that I can visit other countries by reading about others' travel stories. My favorite travel book tells about a trip to Europe. The writer writes about walking through beautiful buildings in Italy and climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris in it.
　　Another reason I love to read is that it helps me. When I meet difficulties, I can read a story about someone who gets over a similar difficulty. When I'm sad, I can read a funny story that makes me laugh. Reading can give me hope and make me strong.
　　The main reason I enjoy reading is that I can travel in time and space. I can travel to the past and watch Leonardo da Vinci paint the Mona Lisa. I can have dinner with Queen Victoria. I can move next door to Beethoven and listen to his music. It's really fun. l can't imagine life without reading.
