Several months ago , a couple with a little girl moved in next door to me. The girl seemed too quiet to make any noise, while the parents were always 1her loudly. Whenever we met my new neighbours , I always spoke, but the only 2 I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.

    I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned, they were just coming from their home and the little girl was holding the door open for others. I stayed in the car doing unnecessary things as I wasn't in a 3. The parents were telling her to get into the car immediately. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for 4 .

As a disabled man, I can't hurry at 5 but I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling like a lovely angel. I was so 6by her small act of kindness. That afternoon I was shopping and I saw a white bear. I thought of the 7and said to myself. "I believe she would like that" so I bought it.

    The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her parents. She was so 8of her bear and thanked me as if I had never been thanked before. The mother and father9thanked me.

    Now when we meet , we all speak, and in a friendly manner I might add. As time passes, I don't hear that shouting as often.10, hardly at all.

    Last night we had about four inches of11. I looked out at my car and wondered 12 I was going to keep my doctor's appointment(约会). When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow cleaned. I can't express how I felt at that moment. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building,13when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the good man that cleaned my snow. He said 14. He wanted to but his wife said she wanted to do it.

    Isn't it amazing that a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good things usually come from 15.

The Warrens are a common family — two parents, a son and a daughter. However, they have done 1 uncommon. A few years ago, they sold their big house and moved to the countryside.

2 that's not the only thing special they did. They built a small house which was powered by 3 !

Mr. Warren had been reading about all the problems with the electrical system. He wanted his family to play a small part in saving 4 planet.

The Warrens decided to make their own electricity to 5 everything they needed for their daily lives.

The kids were 6 at first. "Will we still be able to have a television?" asked the daughter, Jane. "What about my 7 ?" asked James, the son. "Don't worry at all," said their father. "Just because we are going to produce our own power using the wind and the sun, it doesn't mean we have to live in the 8 Ages."

"We are going to set up a wind generator (发电机)," explained Mrs. Warren. "The wind is a 9 way to make electricity. It's free. It's clean. And it blows really well at our new home. It doesn't blow every day though. That's 10 we need to have some batteries (电池) to store our power. When the wind blows, it charges our batteries. When there is no wind, we still have power in our batteries to 11 everything in our house."

Mr. Warren added, "We are also going to have two solar panels (太阳能电池板). They will collect the energy 12 the sun and turn it into electricity, too. So, when the wind blows, we have power. When the sun shines, we have power too."

It was easy to see that Mr. Warren 13 believed in renewable (可再生的) energy. And all his family agreed with him.

Now, the Warren family lives in this self-powered countryside 14 . They produce their own electricity. They pay more attention to the power they use now. They turn off lights when they 15 a room. They live happily in this energy-renewable special house.

An interview with Andy Griffiths

Andy Griffiths is well known as a writer of children's books. Here are some interesting things you might not know about him !

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

I go for long runs and bike rides beside the beach. An hour of exercise after a long day of writing gives me energy. Then I'm ready to write some more. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

At first I write the stories by hand, and then I transfer (转录）them onto a computer. I like to write by hand when I travel. I find it very easy to lose myself in my diary when I am away from my usual activities. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

I'm never happier than I'm thinking banana milk shakes. And I love fish. But I don't like drinking fish milk shakes. They are just terrible !

What is your favorite book ?

Alice in Wonderland. It has so many surprises and such silliness in it.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Only if I really have to. I much prefer the freedom and fun of writing for children.

As Dr. Seuss says, "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go."

Last summer holiday, I went bungee jumping (蹦极) with my best friend, Tony. I was very happy at first. But while Tony was going up, I just stood on the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}because I was a bit afraid. "Come on, Bill.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} me!" Tony said. I thought about it for a while and went up. I took all the things out of my pocket. I tried twice. Then I jumped and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} down. It was fast. Finally, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} safely. I was so {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that I wanted to go bungee jumping again.
