Mary is an American schoolgirl. She is now in Beijing with her parents. Mary can't speak Chinese well. But she wants to learn and speak it. She often tries to speak Chinese to her Chinese friends, but sometimes they don't understand her because she can't speak it well.

    Today is Sunday morning. She wants to go to the zoo to see the birds and monkeys, but she doesn't know how to get there. She asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand her. So she draws a monkey on a piece of paper and shows it to the boy. Then the boy tells Mary the way to the zoo.

    My name is Rose. I usually get up at six ten in the morning. I always have my breakfast at half past six. I go to school on foot. I am never late（从不迟到）for school.

    I have many lessons in the morning. At about twelve o'clock, I have lunch at school. In the afternoon, I am not busy. After school, I do my homework first, and then I play with my friends.

    In the evening, my parents come back from work（下班）. We have dinner together. I go to bed at half past nine. But my father often works late at night.

    A man got into a train and found himself sitting beside a woman. She was about thirty-five years old. Soon they began talking to each other. He asked her, "Do you have a family?" "Yes, I have one son," the woman answered. "Oh, really?" said the man. "Does he smoke?" "No." The woman answered. "That's good", man was glad to say. "I don't smoke, either. Smoking is bad for one's body son drink wine?"

    "Oh, no," the woman answered at once. "He has never drunk wine." "Good!" the man said. "And does he ever come home late at night?" "No, never," "his neighbour answered. "He goes to bed after dinner every nigh." "Well," the man said. "He's a good young man. How old is he?"

    "He's a good young man He is six months old today," the woman answered with a smile.

    Jim gets up very early and he finds some changes in his house. He looks around carefully and he sees that:

    The big tree is on the right side of the house, but now it's on the left.

    There is a dog house in the corner of the yard, but now it's gone. Where is the dog house?

    The green clock in his bedroom changes into a yellow one.

    "Mom! Mom! An alien(外星人)changes our house!" Jim runs to his mom and says. Mom is cleaning the living room. She's not surprised(惊讶的)at all. "Oh, it's your dad. He thinks our house is too boring and he wants to have some changes. What do you think of the changes? Do you like them?"
