One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it.
古希腊的一天,海尔罗国王请一位制作皇冠的人给他制作一顶金皇冠.起初,他对皇冠感到非常高兴.
“It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” he
wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.
“Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown

I’m worried about my friend Jolin. She wants to be a model and she’s thin, but she thinks she’s fat. She’s always on a diet. She’s getting too thin, but
whenever I talk to her about this, she gets angry. How can I help her?

I went out with a group of friends yesterday. We saw a lady lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made jokes about her and laughed. Though I
wanted to help her, my friends told me not to. It was awful of them to laugh at her, and I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed of myself should I do in
this situation?

I’ve just started wearing braces, but I hate them. I don’t see any advantage in wearing them. My friends all laugh at me and say had things about me. I feel
embarrassed when I smile or open my mouth. The braces hurt my teeth, and it’s difficult for me to eat. I feel it was a mistake for my mother to make me wear
these ugly braces. What do you suggest?

I have to share a room with my seven-year-old sister, and she’s driving me mad! She has a habit of playing the piano when I’m studying, and she always takes
my things with out telling me. I try to keep the room tidy, but she always makes a mess. I love my sister, but sometimes she’s so annoying! What should I do?
