Your Friends_ You can change your friends. P
Does it sound strange? You may think that you have the perfect number of friends. P
If you add a new friend to the list, however, you will feel even better than before. P
Your Mind_ You thought one thing at first, and now you think another thing. P
As someone said, “If you can change your mind, you can change your life.” P
“Focus on the things that are easy to change, and try to make today better than yesterday. Good luck!” P

Jaden's family is in Florence, Italy. P
They are visiting Ms.Gambini, his mother's friend. P
Today his parents are going to museums, but Jaden wants to stay behind. P
He thinks the translation app on his phone will help him communicate. P
His stomach growls, so he enters the kitchen. P
When Ms.Gambini sees Jaden, she says, "Buon giorno. P
Vuoi un pezzo di pane e un bicchiere di latte?" Jaden does not know how to respond. P
Then the app says, "Good morning. Would you like a piece of bread and a glass of milk?" P
2-2 Reading 2
There is a knock on the door, and a woman whom Ms.Gambini invited walks in. P
The two women begin speaking Italian very fast. P
So the translator does not understand. P
Jaden turns off the phone and leaves it on the table. P
He goes out to enjoy the sunny morning. P
He follows a thumping sound and finds a girl who is kicking a soccer ball against a wall. P
She turns to him and says, "Buon giorno. P
2-3 Reading 3
His phone is in the kitchen, so Jaden does not know what to say. P
He just repeats the words that the girl said, "Buon giorno." P
The girl kicks the ball to him. Jaden needs no translator for that. P
For a while, the two play with the ball. P
Finally, the girl points at herself and says, "Mi chiamo Rosabella." P
"My name is Jaden," he responds. P
Suddenly Rosabella says, "Arriva l'autobus." P
Jaden understands the words that sound like bus and arrive. P

Hands off! Watch out! This is my spot! P
Germs are everywhere, but it is impossible to see them with your eyes. P
There are two major kinds of germs: bacteria and viruses. P
Bacteria are very small creatures. Some are good. P
They can help you digest the food that you eat. P
Others are bad and can make you sick. P
Viruses are germs that can only live inside the cells of other living bodies. P
They cause diseases such as the flu. P

The macrophage cells show up and eat the germs. P
Together, this army is called the white blood cells. P
If all goes well, they win the fight. P
In a few days, you start to feel better. P

Fine. Next year, I’ll send in my cousin. He’ll see you then for another fight! P
But the germs are smart, too. They can change form and trick the body. P
What can I do now? There are several ways to protect yourself from germs. P
First, wash your hands with soap and warm water. P
A balanced diet will keep your body strong and healthy. P

Look at this beautiful painting. P
It was created by the famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh in 1889. P
In Van Gogh's time, almost everyone could look up and see a wonderful starry night sky. P
Now, how many of us are as lucky as Van Gogh? P
In fact, many people in today's world cannot enjoy a starry night sky. P
This is so because of light pollution. P
4-2 Reading 2
Most of us are familiar with air, water, and land pollution. P
We know that they are serious problems, and we are taking action to solve them. P
But did you know that light can also cause pollution? P
Light pollution―too much light in the wrong place at the wrong time―is almost everywhere around the world. P
It can have serious effects on humans and wildlife. P
According to a recent report, about 80% of the world's population lives under skies that are not dark enough at night. P
Especially in big cities, people often cannot see a starry night. P
They can also suffer from sleep problems because the natural rhythm of day and night is disturbed by artificial light. P
4-3 Reading 3
Wildlife is threatened by light pollution, too. P
Birds that migrate or hunt at night find their way by natural light, P
but light in big cities can cause them to wander off course. P
Every year millions of birds die after hitting buildings that have bright lights. P
Sea turtles cannot easily find a place to lay eggs since beaches are too bright at night. P
Also, many baby sea turtles die because artificial light draws them away from the ocean. P
Clearly, light pollution is as serious as other forms of pollution. P
We have to find ways to solve the problem. P
If we do not, we may see stars only in our dreams or paintings. P

In many ways, 42-year-old Joseph Palmer was an ordinary person. P
He had a job and cared for his family. P
But in 1830, after he moved to a small town in Massachusetts, P
he began to face difficulties. P
Joseph looked different from other people P
he had a long beard. P

Joseph did not mind. P
He just wanted the freedom to have his beard. P
One day, four men attacked Joseph and threw him on the ground. P
"We're going to cut off your beard!" they shouted. P
Joseph was a big man, and he was able to fight them off. P
But the men called the police and accused him of attacking them. P
Poor Joseph was arrested. P
He said to the judge, "I'm the victim here." P
Sadly, no one believed a man with a beard, and he went to prison for over a year. P

After he was freed, Joseph traveled and told his story to lots of people. P

His name was Abraham Lincoln. P
He made beards popular, but Joseph Palmer fought for the right to have them. P
