Do you think of your parents? "Yes, of course." you may 1, "I buy a present for my mother on 2. And I give my father a present on Father's Day, too." Then what about 3 days of a year? Always 4 to think of your parents, not just on some 5 days.

    I have a friend. She 6 alone, because her parents live in a different city. One day I 7 see her. We had a nice 8 . Then she 9 make a telephone call. She dialed (拨) the number, but then she phone 10 . After about ten seconds, she dialed the number again. "Hi, Mom…"

    Later, I asked, "Why did you dial the number 11?" She said, "My parents are old. They can't get 12 the telephone quickly (快速的). I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them 13 time to answer the call."

    My friend is just such (这样) a good girl. She is always 14 her parents, so why not 15 her? You'll also be a good son or daughter.

Hi, Sam,

    I'm happy to hear that you are taking a trip to Beijing again. We can have fun together soon. In your email you say you want to take a trip around Beijing. It's OK. Beijing is the capital of China. So it is a very beautiful city. It has a long history. There are many great places to go.

    Do you like the Great Wall? Then we can go to Huanghuacheng Great Wall. It's 70 km from the city centre. Huanghuacheng is different from Badaling. It's a place with hills and lakes.

    You love water, right? Then we can visit Gubei Watertown. It's in the north of Beijing. We can climb the green hills and row a boat on the river. Oh, you must like the lantern shops there. Buy one and light it in the evening. It's beautiful. Baiyangdian Lake is a great place too. It's not in Beijing, but we can drive a car there for only two hours. There, you can see beautiful lotuses and a lot of fish, ducks and birds.

    There are all kinds of delicious foods in Beijing. And Beijing roast duck is the most famous. We can try it.

    Every year many people come here to visit the Great Wall, the Palace Museum and try Beijing duck. If you come to Beijing, I believe you will like it.

    Are you interested in these places? Tell me. I can't wait for you to come here.

Yours,

Li Lei

    Two men are walking in the park. One is Mr. Brown, a worker, the other is Mr. Black. Mr. Brown is going to a chair. It is beside the road. Mr. Black is after him. Mr. Brown finds Mr. Black. Now Mr. Black begins to walk faster (更快), because he wants to get to the chair before Mr. Black. Now Mr. Black begins to walk faster because he also wants to get to the chair first. Then they both run. Mr. Black runs faster than (比) Mr. Brown. So he gets to the chair first and sits down on it. Mr. Brown runs after Mr. Black. When he gets to the chair, he sees Mr. Black sitting on it. He is sorry to show a notice (通知) with the words "Wet Paint (油漆未干)" to Mr. Black. Now Mr. Black knows why Mr. Brown is going to the chair.

    Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.

    In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart problems in this month. In the northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart problems after the weather changes (改变) quickly in February or March.

    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, the IQs of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse (更糟) on exams in the hot months of the year.

    Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They may feel gloomy and don't want to talk to anyone in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

    Are you feeling sad, tired, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

    Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 and died on December 5, 1791. When he was three, he often had music lessons with his elder sister. His father took him through many different countries, where he played music for lots of people.

    But some people didn't believe a little boy could write such beautiful music. They asked him to stay in a room all by himself for a week and somebody watched the room all the time. In a week, he finished a new piece of music. After that, people believed that he could write beautiful music.

    Mozart died when he was still a young man. During his short life he studied music, taught music, played music and wrote music. Even by working so hard, he couldn't make much money. Often he had to borrow(借入) money from his friends. But his music made him happy and for more than two hundred years his music has made other people happy, too.

    At the moment, Daming and Lingling (talk) about the year 2050 in the classroom.

    "What will our world be like in the year 2050?" asks Daming.

    " Well, no one knows, but it's (interest) to guess (猜测)," says Lingling. "I think in the year 2050, everyone will carry a small computer. The computer will give people the answers all the questions. We'll have new telephones too. And we'll be able to talk to our friends all over the world and see them at same time."

    "A lot of people (live) and work in the sea. Maybe there will be big towns, (factory) and farms in the sea. Machines will do most of the work, people will have more holidays. Maybe they'll work two or three days a week. They will be able (fly) to the moon and spend (them) holidays there," says Daming." I am looking forward the year 2050. I hope to fly to the moon!"

    "I hope I'll be able to live in the sea," says Lingling," just like a fish!"
