    Tom lives in a town near New York. His father has a factory there and his mother is a doctor. He is seven and begins to go to school this September. The school is a little far from home and his father drives a car to take him to school five days a week. So he is never late for class and his teachers like him very much.

    It is Monday today. Miss Green is teaching them to count from one to ten in the morning. Tom is studying hard. Soon he can count them. Miss Green is happy and asks," How many people are there in your family, Tom?"

    Tom stands up and says, "Two, Miss Green."

    "Who are they?"

    "My father and my mother."

    "Oh," Miss Green is surprised. Then she says, "There are three people in your family."

    "But now I'm not at home. I'm at school, you know!"

    Mona doesn't like to ask people for help. But it is hard for her to perform daily activities on her own. She is almost 13, yet she is no larger than a 5-year-old. Mona has trouble keeping her balance and can't walk very far. When she uses a wheelchair, she can't push it herself.

    Fortunately, Mona has a wonderful service dog named Sam. A service dog is a dog that has been trained to assist someone who has a physical problem. Sam lets Mona lean on him when she walks. He also pulls her wheelchair and turns lights on and off. When Mona drops something, Sam picks it up. He even pulls her socks off at night.

    Sam also helps Mona with everyday tasks at school. He carries her books from class to class in a special backpack. He puts Mona's completed assignments in her teachers' homework trays. In the lunchroom he throws away her trash.

    Besides making Mona less dependent on other people, Sam helps her lead a fuller life. Mona's classmates flock around Sam like geese. This has helped her make friends. Sam also helps Mona be more active. With his aid, she raised over $500 in walk-a-thon for her local humane society.

    Because of Sam, Mona doesn't have to ask people for help. Sam brings her closer to other kids. And he even helps her contribute to her community.

    Do you go to school every day by bike or in your parents' car? The American English teacher Margaret tells her story about taking a school bus in America.

    When I'm a primary school student, I love taking the school bus. It is interesting to talk to my friends and play games on the bus. It is like children-only party every morning and afternoon. On the school bus there is only one adult（成年人）—the driver. Most of the time, we are well-behaved because we like the driver and don't want to make him unhappy. But one day, one of the boys makes a face at a policeman driving behind our bus. The policeman makes our bus driver stop. Then he scolds（训斥）the naughty boy loudly. We all behave well after that!

    It isn't comfortable for young people to wait for the school bus in winter（冬天） because it is very cold, especially when there are strong winds（风）. Some students in cities have bus shelters（遮挡）, but country children have to jump（跳）up and down to warm up. Hurry up, spring!

Last Saturday, our class had a school trip. We decided{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go)to the mountain. So, at 7:00 in the morning we got together {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the school gate. Then we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (take) a bus there. At the foot of the mountain, there was a river. The water in it was clean and you could see some fish swim in it. And some of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (I) classmates even tried to get the fish, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they failed（失败）. We also saw quite a few special flowers by the river. They were very beautiful. And we did many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interest) things there and took lots of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(photo). At 12 o'clock, we had lunch. The food was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（real） great. After lunch, we walked up to the top of the mountain. There we could see the whole city, and{#blank#}9{#/blank#} looked wonderful. We all had {#blank#}10{#/blank#} good time there. 

Hello, I am Mark. Let me {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tell) you something about my brother John and me. Our parents are busy, so we need to clean our own rooms and our {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (parent) room, too. You see, this is my room and that is his room. My room is tidy, but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (he) is not. In my room, my books {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) on the bookcase and my school things are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my school bag. There is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} map of China on the desk. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in his room, things are everywhere. Look, some white toy planes are under the chair. The {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tape) are on the bed. He always. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ask), "Could you take my socks to me?" "Where is my set {#blank#}10{#/blank#} keys?" "Where is my math homework?" Maybe he needs a babysitter.
