After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing(平衡) a pot of water on herhead. One woman tripped over(绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground.She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about movingthe stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained(抱怨) about the stone, but he foundnobody wanted to move it. The king wondered,“Is there no one in this village who feels anyresponsibility (责任) to keep their neighbors from harm(伤害) ”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. Shehad been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself,“Thisstone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”
After lots of hard work, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road.Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king’stepped out from behind the tree.“Oh sir,”the girl said.“Is this gold yours if not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”

Have you ever realized that you’re dreaming in the middle of a dream If thishappens during a nightmare(噩梦), you can wake yourself up. If it happens duringa common dream, you can decide what to dream about next. Want to fly Go rightahead! People call this type of experience a lucid dream (清醒梦)
Some people have lucid dreams naturally, while others need to practice. Thekey to lucid dreaming is realizing that you are in a dream. To do that, most peopleneed a“reality check”. One way of checking is to look at a clock or words on apage, look away, and then look back again. In a dream, words and numbers are often unclear, orchange completely.
A lot of lucid dreaming devices (设备) promise an easy way to lucid dreams. These devicesplay sounds or shine red lights as reality checks. If these sounds or red lights appear in the dream,the user may realize,“Hey, I’m dreaming!”
Unluckily, a scientific report of lucid dreaming devices found that none of them were reliable(可靠的). For example, the Remee lucid dreaming mask was popular on Kickstarter when it cameout in 2012. But many people complained that it didn’t work. They didn’t have lucid dreams, anddidn’t remember seeing any red lights. Another device, the $299 Aurora headband, which can recordbrain-waves as well as body movements, also made people unsatisfied.
What do you think Have you ever had a lucid dream Would you want to try a lucid dreamingdevice Or are these devices just a lie

Dear Sam,
I’m happy to hear from you. I feel better now. Thank you for caring about me. I like being avolunteer, too. I helped clean the neighborhood. I also helped kids learn to read in an after-schoolreading program. I think volunteering is meaningful.
As for doing chores, it helps to develop our independence. I often make the bed, clean theroom, wash clothes and so on. And sharing housework can help us understand our parents better.My parents are always busy with work. If I help them do some chores, they’ll have more time torest. So, we should do chores at home.
I hope everything goes well with you.
Yours,
Li Hua
