Once Harry's father was sent to London on business.He would stay there for half a year.When leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son.

27、I’ve been having trouble concentrating on one thing. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”
Inspired and touched, I began to keep trying hard in my study and struggled against attention problems. I believe one can find his way out of difficulty with determination and efforts.

28、Presidents' Day in the United States
Washington's Birthday, also known as Presidents' Day, is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February. 【1】
Who Is Washington?
George Washington served as the first president of the United States of America. His first term as president was from 1789 to 1793. 【2】 Before he became president, he played an important role in the military, leading the American Continental Army to victory over the British in 1783. Washington is often seen as the father of the United States and is probably the best known American politician ever.
【3】
Presidents' Day is a public holiday in most U. S. states. However, many businesses are open as usual and many stores hold sales on Washington's Birthday. 【4】 And many, but not all, public transport systems operate on regular schedules. Some schools close for the whole week for a midwinter break.
What Do People Do?
Washington's Birthday officially honors the life and work of George Washington. The day honors past presidents of the U. S.A. Washington's Birthday is sometimes known as Presidents' Day. 【5】 Some states pay particular attention to Abraham Lincoln as his birthday is also in midFebruary. In the weeks or days leading up to the holiday, schools often organize events and lessons for students about the presidents of the United States and George Washington in particular. It is a popular day for stores to start their sales.
A.Do People Have to Work?
B.Is Presidents' Day a Public Holiday?
C.His second term was from 1793 to 1797.
D.His image is also used on the one-dollar bill and the quarter-dollar coin.
E.Many delivery services, except for the Post Office, have a regular service.
F.The day honors presidents of the United States, including George Washington, the U. S.A.'s first president.
G.This is because while most states have adopted Washington's Birthday, some states officially celebrate Presidents' Day.
29、Hotels orbit Saturn’s pale orange moon, Titan. Cruise ships roam the docking stations like fish. Have you ever imagined making this future space travel in the fiction films a reality? 【1】
Large companies and entire governments have teamed up to make space travel and exploration easier and quicker. Several countries are planning space missions between now and 2025. Some aim to build stations orbiting the moon. 【2】 Eventually, they maybe build settlements there!
Yet no human has traveled beyond Earth’s orbit since 1972. Money is part of the problem. To put a pound of anything in space costs about $10,000. Consider that the old NASA space shuttles carried 2.2 million pounds (998,000kg) of fuel alone. Once in space, we face the problem of enormous space. Current technology and fuels can propel spacecraft at around 36,000 miles (58,000 km) per hour. 【3】 Therefore, Human astronauts need some sort of new engine technology. Without it, they would not likely live long enough to complete journeys to other worlds.
【4】 Some human astronauts live and work in the International Space Station(ISS). They’re in small spaces far from home. They suffer mentally and emotionally. Moods sour. Depression kicks in. Clear thinking muddies. Fear runs high.
Accessing fresh food is another issue. Today, astronauts eat lots of freeze-dried meals.
【5】 We need those to be healthy. Of course, space doesn’t have grocery stores. Deep-space travelers may need to grow food on board. Unfortunately, good nutrition cannot fully protect an astronaut. All that time spent floating affects bones, muscles, and the blood. The body suffers damage from radiation streaming from stars and supernovas.
A.Others intend to land humans on Mars.
B.Freezing food reduces its vitamins and minerals.
C.Even if a trip fit within a lifetime, it wouldn’t be easy.
D.In some ways, we are on the edge of this imagined future.
E.Frozen food cannot provide them with enough good nutrition.
F.With that amazing speed, spacecrafts would carry astronauts to other worlds.
G.Even at that speed, it would take 78,000 years to reach the nearest star system.
