Hans says to his friend Kurt，“I'm going to take my car and drive to London.” Kurt says, “Driving to London is very difficult. You aren't going to find your hotel.” But Hans is not afraid. He drives to Calais, puts his car on his ship, takes it off at Dover, and drives to London.
He stops near the city and looks at his map. Then he drives into London, but he doesn't find his hotel. He drives round and round for an hour, and then he stops and gets out of his car. A taxi comes, and Hans stops it. “Take me to the Brussels Hotel,” he says. But he doesn't get into the taxi, he gets back into his car. The taxi man laughs, but then he drives to the Brussels Hotel and Hans follows him in his car. They get to the hotel in two minutes(两分钟后).

Hello, I'm Vladislav. For my summer holidays, I usually stay in a country house near Moscow.
Last summer, my dad's brother gave me a present — a blue bike. At that time I couldn't ride it very well. One day I got into an accident. But don't worry, everything was OK, just some "little" injuries.That day, I tried to ride my bike and suddenly it began to move very fast. I couldn't stop the bike. So I fell into a ditch (沟) full of dirty water. When I thought I had had enough bad luck, a girl walked by. She saw the bike and me. I quickly stood up.
"Are you fishing here?" she asked.
"Yes," I answered. Then I said, "I'm making fish soup for dinner. Would you like to come?" To my surprise, she agreed.
After that we became friends. Now, we often send each other e-mails. She knows that I'm studying in China and she asks me questions about Chinese culture. I tell her my stories of China, and she says she wants to visit China, too. She even plans to study Chinese. This is how, with the help of my bike, China got one more Russian friend.

      This summer I will leave the junior high school where I have been for three years. I am generally considered to be a careful and polite boy now. However, five years ago, I was a little bit bossy(专横的). I often fought with other boys and sometimes I even fought with my elder sister. When I saw Superman on TV for the first time, I dreamed of being a superman one day.
    One P.E. class, I called up all of my friends to get together in our classroom. “Can anybody jump out of the window?” I asked them. After hearing this, all my friends kept silent. “I know you are all chickens,” I said. “Can you?” one of my friends asked me. “Sure!” I answered. “If I do it, I will get all the toys that you have. If I fail, you will get all of my toys, OK?” They said, “OK!”
Then I went up to the window of the second floor. I took a deep breath and then jumped down, stretching out my arms just like Superman. Then I hit the ground.
     When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in the hospital. I was taken to the hospital because my arms were badly hurt. Later, I heard that my P.E. teacher nearly lost his job for this, but I never received the serious punishment I feared.

    Mr. Brown works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for New York, the Browns climbed the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car. And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn't find the bag in which their expensive camera was. They were all sorry for it. They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
    That evening they didn't have supper. Mr. Brown hoped to make them happy, so he said, “Well, let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-floor building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn't hurt himself.”
“It was a miracle (奇迹)!” called out his children, “Why?”
“Because he lived on the first floor!”
    They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy found it under a big tree and he asked them to find out who lost it.
“It's really a miracle!” the Browns said happily.

There was once a boy called Jim in a village. Whenever Jim asked people to do things, no one would listen to him. He was sad. So Jim asked a wizard to solve the problem by using magic. The old wizard tried a lot of spells, but didn't work.

A young man heard about the problem .He went to Jim and said that he knew the solution. He gave Jim two small pieces of paper. “These are two spells, my boy. Use the first before you ask others to do something, and use the second when they have done it. A smile is also necessary, "the young man said. Jim was happy and tried to use the spells. When he asked people to do something. He said “Please "before his words and "Thank you "after they had done it. People were very surprised that Jim could be polite. Soon, they became happy to do what Jim asked them to do. The wizard was surprised, and asked the young man about the spells. ”It's not magic. When I was a child, my teacher told me that with good manners you could get anything you want. And he was right. Jim only needed good manners to get what he wanted.”
