He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. James Ferguson was a poor American boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(钟表的主发条)?He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto(座右铭)was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world. Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, dont lose heart, and dont ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.22 .

Some heroes, like Lucca, are not even humans. Lucca is a 12-year-old US military (军队的) dog. On April 5, she received an award (奖) for her brave military service.Lucca and her owner, Christopher Willingham, traveled to London, England, to receive the PDSA Dickin Medal. It is the highest award for service animals.Lucca is the first US military dog to receive the medal. “Lucca is very clever and had an amazing drive (干劲) for work as a search dog,” Willingham said. “I am lucky to have served with her.”During her six years of active military service, Lucca completed more than 400 jobs. She was trained to find explosive devices (易爆装置). Luccas skills protected the lives of thousands of people.One day in 2012, she was searching for explosive devices with her trainer, Juan Rodriguez, as usual. Unluckily, she lost her left leg after walking on a device. She was quickly sent to hospital. Thanks to the doctors help, Lucca was saved. During that time, Rodriguez remained at Luccas side. “She had saved my life so many times I had to make sure that I was there when she needed me,” Rodriguez said. “Within 10 days, she was walking again. Her fighting spirit was plain to see.”Lucca doesnt work now and lives in California with Willingham and his family. “Ill do my best to keep her happy in her last years,” Willingham said.Lucca is the 68th animal to receive the PDSA Dickin Medal since it was created in 1943.

If you follow these steps, the party will be a success.First, set the time and the place of the party. When you pick the time and the place, remember to consider the weather and the schedule of the children being invited. Also keep you budget (预算) in mind. If your child wants to go to a theme park, that may not be realistic. However, a party in a park might be in the budget.Then make a guest list with your child. Find out how many people he or she wants to invite. Also, depending on how simple or elaborate (复杂的) in the party will be, the guest list may be small or rather large.Third, make a reservation if necessary. It is important to make a reservation a bit earlier to make sure that the place of the party can be kept. But if you are going to a park or having it in your house, its clear that a reservation will be unnecessary.Fourth, it is time to pick a theme for the party. Discuss with your child and try to pick something that your child loves. Allow him or her to be a part of planning the party.Now plan and make a food list. If the party is going to be a one-day event, the list will be more extensive (广泛的). If it only lasts a couple of hours, some snacks along with cake and ice-cream will do.Party games and prizes are the last. Once again discuss with your child and see if he or she has ideas. Plan some games that will work well with the place of the party. Pick prizes that are suitable for the age group of your child.30 .
