B
A man came home from work late and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 each hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy answered with his head down. He thought for a moment and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you are asking for the money to buy a toy or useless cartoons, then go straight to your room and think about why I’m so angry!”
The little boy went to his room without a word and closed the door. After a short while, the father calmed down. “Maybe he really needs to buy something because he doesn’t really ask for money very often,” he thought. So he went to the little boy’s room.
“I’m sorry son! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then the boy took out some soins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you still want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy one hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow, I would like to have dinner with you.”

The brain(大脑) is the boss of the body, it’s the control centre of the body. Your eyes, ears, nose and skin tell your brain what is going on around you. Other parts of your body tell your brain what is going on inside of you. Your brain takes in the signals. It tells your body what to do with them. When you touch fire, your skin tells your brain that your finger is too hot. Your brain tells you to move your finger. All these happen very fast. Your brain also controls(控制) your breathing, blinking(眨眼) and heartbeat. It controls your feelings and thoughts too.
Humans have the most developed brain of all animals. Yet it is not the largest brain. The human brain weighs 3 pounds. The brain of an elephant weighs 11pounds. So the largest brain is not always the best brain. In people, a larger brain does not mean a clever person.
