Robert's father worked in a freight company. His mother was a housewife. The family never had friction. To afford to send their son to go to college, the couple spent only a fraction of their earnings. When he was only 3 years old, Robert knew 1/2 and 1/4 are fractions. And now Robert was a freshman at a big university. The foundation of the university took place over 100 years ago. It was famous for its ornate fountain and its attractive forum. The topic recently was the framework of dinosaur fossils. Robert found that several classmates were friends with him on the first day. To be frank, he wanted to make friends with them too. It was winter, but the air in the campus was fragrant because of winter sweets. Breathing it, Robert felt as if he was set free from a cage. Suddenly, he heard some cry, "Help!" It was from the lake. The ice of the lake fractured under the weight of the students skating on it. It was frequent in the winter. And one of them fell into the lake. The other students were frightened by this. Not only did Robert have a powerful frame, but also a warm heart. He dived into the lake. The student was saved but Roberts leg fractured in two places. When his mother heard of this, she dropped the vase on the floor, and it broke into fragments. In a sliver frame on the table, there was a photograph of her son. She was proud of her brave son but could not help crying.

罗伯特的父亲在一家货运公司工作。他的母亲是个家庭主妇。这家人从来没有摩擦。为供儿子上大学，两夫妇只花了收入的一小部分。当罗伯特3岁的时候，他就知道1／2和l／4都是分数。现在罗伯特是一所大型的大学的大一学生。这所大学的建立有一百多年了。它因为它那华丽的喷泉和吸引人的论坛而著名。最近的论题是恐龙化石的结构。第一天，罗伯特就发现几名同学对他很友好。坦白地说，他也想同他们交朋友。当时是冬天，但校园的空气因为腊梅而变得清香。呼吸着空气，罗伯特感觉自己像是被人从牢笼释放出来一般。突然他听见"救命"的呼喊声。喊声来自湖边。湖面的冰在滑冰学生们的重量下裂开了。这在冬天是时常发生的。其中一个学生落人湖中。这情形使其他的学生惊恐。罗伯特不仅有一副强壮的骨架，更有一颗见义勇为的心。他跳人湖中。那名学生得救了，但因此罗伯特的腿两处骨折。当他的母亲听到这个消息，她把花瓶掉在地上摔成了碎片。桌上一个银框架里是一张儿子的照片。她为儿子骄傲，但仍然忍不住哭泣起来。

A frog and a squirrel were neighbors. There was a fundamental difference between the two of them. The squirrel was diligent while the frog was lazy. In autumn, the frog made fun of the squirrel's diligence. He said, "Don't make so much fuss over saving your food." The squirrel answered, "I only fulfill my obligation to build up a reserve fund. The main function of it is to help me to get through the winter. If you make a fuss of yourself in fruitful autumn, you will regret it in the cold winter." The frog frowned at her words and became furious. So he left without a goodbye. The winter came. The squirrel had no expensive furniture, but she had a furnace to keep her warm. Furthermore, she had a beautiful fur overcoat. Her house furnished everything that was needed for one's life. For example, the fuse-box was in the kitchen. Coal was used as fuel. Fried pine nuts were prepared for her dinner. On the contrary, the frog went to and fro on the frontier, looking for something edible. The ground was covered with frost. The terrible weather frustrated his hopes of finding food. He was too tired and hungry to walk any further.The next day, he was found dead, frozen. The squirrel attended the frog's funeral and felt very sorry for him.

一只青蛙和一只松鼠是邻居。他们俩之间有着基本的区别。松鼠很勤奋而青蛙很懒惰。在秋天，青蛙取笑松鼠的勤劳。他说："不要为储藏食物忙乱成那样子嘛。"松鼠回答："我只是履行自己的职责来建立后备基金。它的主要作用就是帮助我度过冬天。如果你在果实累累的秋天太娇惯你自己的话，你将在寒冷的冬季后悔的。"青蛙对她的话皱眉并且暴怒起来。因此他没有道别就离开了。冬天来临了。松鼠没有昂贵的家具，但她有炉子来取暖。而且，她还有漂亮的毛皮大衣。她的房子装备了所有个人生活所需的一切。比如，保险丝盒子在厨房里。煤是用来做燃料的。油炸松子是她的正餐。与之相反，青蛙在边境上来来回回地寻找能吃的东西。地面上覆盖着霜冻。可怕的天气挫败了他寻找食物的希望。他又累又饿，再也无法走得更远。第二天，他被发现已经死了，身体是冷冻的。松鼠参加了青蛙的葬礼，并且为他的死感到非常难过。
