One spring morning in 1973, Mr Goldmn opened a grocery store in Oklahoma city. When she saw one of his customers walked by, he said to her, “Good morning, Mrs Hope.”

Mrs. Hope just noded. At that moment she was concentrating on the overloaded shopping basket she was carrying over her arm. The basket was very heavy because she had so much food in it.

That was when Goldman had a great great idea: a shopping basket on wheels. Then his customers wouldn’t have to carry the heavy basket. Shopping would become easier, and customers would prefer coming to his store.

Before long Goldman had some shopping carts made. However, on the first day Goldman came home sadly because none of his customers used the carts. Goldman was a little disappointed. But he didn’t give up. He knew he needed to show his customers how easy it is to use the shopping carts.So the next day he asked a few people to come and use the carts around his shop and pretend to buy things.

“How did it go today?” Mrs Goldman asked when her husband came home from work.

“Great!” he said. “When my customers saw people using the carts, they realized how much easier it would be to shop with them, so they all started using the carts. What’s more, they filled the carts with more groceries than they ever did with the baskets. I’m going to be a rich man soon. So are my new shopping carts!”

What’s the world’s cleverest bird? Most scientists say it’s the common raven. They can change

their behavior to solve new problems.

For example, if they can’t find one kind of favourite food, they learn to eat something else. In fact, they eat almost any food they can get. Their foods include small animals, fruits, seeds, eggs, garbage, and dead meat. Because they eat so many different foods, they can live in lots of different places around the world: deserts, mountains, forests, cities, and even the cold Arctic.

The size of raven’s brain may help explain why the bird is clever. It has a large brain compared to its body size. For example, a chicken weighs twice as much as a raven. But its brain is only one-fifth as heavy as the raven’s brain.

Sometimes a raven can be too clever. A scientist named Konrad Lorenz kept a raven named Roah to study it. One day, Roah picked up some wet clothes that had fallen off Dr. Lorenz’s clothes line. The scientist gave the helpful bird some food. After that, Roah gave the scientist a lot

Why is sleep so important? During the day, you spend a lot of time running, jumping, eating, and talking. You use up much energy, and by the end of the day you’re tired. Sleep gives your body a chance to rest.

But your mind and body are not completely at rest during sleep. They’re acturally working to recharge your batteries, so that you will wake up feeling good and ready to go.

When you sleep, your brain sorts out all the things that happened during the day. It goes over things you were wondering or worrying about, and you may wake up with answers to some of your problems.

You also grow while you sleep. A chemical called human growth hormone is released in the body during sleep to help the growth of cells and tissues.

Sleep helps your body to keep energy too. When you sleep, your body temperature falls, and your metabolism slows down. You are still using some energy, but much less than when you are awake and active.

Getting the right amount of sleep is very important. A lack of sleep can keep your body and

mind from working properly.

1. spend

2. tired

3. rest

4. wake

5. happened

6. wake

7. called

8. when

9. less 10. important
