There was a wise (充满智慧的) man. One day he was sitting with his friends when his daughter came running to him and said, “Dad, Mom lost her ring, her favorite one.”
The man said, “It’s good.”
One of his friends thought, “What a careless man he is!”
An hour later, the man’s daughter came again and said, “Dad, Mom found that ring.”
The man said “It’s good.”
Seeing this, his friend asked, “When the ring was lost, you said ‘It’s good’. When your wife got the ring back, you said ‘It’s good’ too. Why so ”
The man said, “When the ring was lost, should I point fingers at my wife No. That has happened. Shouting at others doesn’t help. And things come or go all the time.

“It makes perfect sense (很有道理),” the man’s friend said.
The man said, “When my wife found the ring, she was happy, my daughter was happy, and I was happy. So many people were happy. So, it’s good.”

Have you ever heard of animals that can puff up (膨胀) One such animal is the pufferfish! There are over 120 kinds of pufferfish living in waters around the world. They can be as short as 2.5 cm or as long as 1 m.
When there’s danger, pufferfish will fill their stomachs with water and make themselves three times bigger. This makes it hard for other animals to eat them. ▲ Pufferfish can also make a strong poison (毒素) from the food they eat. This poison can be very dangerous, even to large animals and humans. One pufferfish can have enough poison to kill 30 people. That’s scary!
Although pufferfish can be dangerous, people have been eating them for a long time. In Japan, pufferfish dishes are very popular. But only chefs with training (受过培训的厨师) can serve the fish because they know how to separate the dangerous parts of the body from the eatable parts. However, pufferfish dishes can be very expensive.
If you want to try pufferfish dishes, always eat them at a restaurant with trained chefs. Never try to prepare them yourself! There have been reports that some people in Japan lost their lives after eating pufferfish, and most of them made the meals themselves.

Dear Tom,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. Are you feeling better now I know you’ve been staying up late to study. It’s not only bad for your health but also it can make you tired and even weaken your memory.
I think you should follow the advice. First, try to go to bed early and don’t stay up late. Second, you should take short breaks while studying and do some exercise. What’s more, you’d better make a study plan to improve efficiency. Finally, when you are feeling stressed, you can listen to some soft music to relax yourself.
Don’t worry too much! If you need help, I’m always here. Hope you’ll be healthy and happy soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
