　　My name is Lily. My father is a teacher. His students love him a lot because he is funny.

　　I love him too, but I think he can be “foolish(笨的)” sometimes.

　　Once we moved house and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights

　　In the supermarket we saw many beautiful lights. I liked some of them and made my father buy them.

　　When we got home, my father began to work out how much money we had spent that day.

　　Suddenly, he stopped. “Something's wrong,” he said. “I've got 300 yuan more than I should!”

　　“That's great,” I said. “You can buy me that cartoon book I want.”

　　Father said nothing. Instead, he counted how much money he had again and again.

　　“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We should go back to the shop.” he said.

　　“Do we have to go back?” I asked, “Nobody will know we were given too much change. It would be foolish to go back.”

　　“It would not be ‘foolish.’” my father said angrily, “It's called being honest.”

　　At that moment, I looked into his eyes and knew he was right.

　　The salesgirl was surprised to see us in the shop again. But when we gave her the money, she thanked us a lot.

　　Suddenly, my father stopped me and smiled, “Do you still want that cartoon book?” he asked.

　　I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you're the greatest!”

The San Diego Zoo has been a lovely home for giant pandas since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987. This week there was snow in San Diego—well, at least for a lucky group of giant pandas.
Over 15 tons of snow was blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area on Tuesday morning to give the endangered bears a chance to play. They would experience the snow just like living in their natural habitat.
The snow day was a first for Xiao Liwu whose name means "Little Gift." He was the sixth baby panda born to Bai Yun. Xiao Liwu was jumping on Mom, playing with her and getting used to being thrown in the snow by mama bear. Jennifer Becerra, San Diego Zoo keeper said, "He was really enjoying the snow and running around. I've never seen him so happy."
All the San Diego Zoo’s giant pandas are from China, as part of a long-term captive breeding(人工养殖) program. Four of Xiao Liwu's brothers have already been moved from California to China.
Today there are 44 giant pandas living in zoos outside of China, where the bears' only natural home is. As just 1,600 pandas are thought to be left in the wild, researchers insist that captive breeding is an important way to study and protect the endangered pandas. Not only because of the habitat loss from human activities and low reproductive rates(繁殖率), giant pandas' survival is also affected by climate change. A study showed that global warming could kill much of the bears' main food, bamboo, over the next century.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
1．Helen Monson has always been interested in helping her community. Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. One year, she organized a Super Saturday Fun Day for kids in the community. She also used to volunteer at the Mint Festival every year. One summer, she served food, another year she organized an art programme.
2．After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and her grandchildren.
3．After a hurricane(飓风) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says, “I have always liked the Red Cross because the organization helps people in need no matter what.”
4．One day, Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees(难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman, from Somalia. Sahra is living and working in a town about 30 minutes’ walk from where Helen lives. They work on reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.
