    Andy woke up and looked at the clock 11: 30? He jumped out of bed and threw on clothes. He had wanted to get up early and surprise his dad with Father's Day breakfast in bed﹣with his mom's help of course. He took up the wrapped present on his desk and went to find his 1.

    "Where is Dad?" Andy checked all the rooms, but the whole house was empty. He walked out to the 2, and his jaw dropped. Dad was holding a hammer and looking at a new tree fort that stood in 3 big back yard.

    Andy climbed the rope ladder up to the fort. It had two rooms with three small windows.

    Dad followed Andy into the fort, looking excited. "I spent all morning 4 it. I had one when I was your age. Grandpa surprised me with it on Father's Day, too. "

    "So, it's like a（n） 5?" Andy asked.

    "Yes, this is a present for 6 of us. Maybe you'll build one for your son one day. "

    Dad looked around and asked Andy 7 they would do first in the tree fort. Andy slowly showed the 8 and said, "Happy Father's Day!" He didn't think it was possible, 9 Dad's smile widened as he opened the gift. "A chess set! How did you know I wanted 10?" Andy always saw his dad playing against the computer and he guessed it 11 be his father's favorite.

    "Let's play it!" Dad set up the chessboard. "It's the 12 gift I got of all this Father's Day. "

"I'm glad you like it." Andy said.

    "I do, but I was talking about spending more time with you. I 13 loved the father﹣son time. I spent a lot with your grandfather when I was 14. "

    Andy looked at his dad. "Can we call Grandpa and 15 him to come to the fort?"

Dad squeezed Andy's shoulder. "I think he'd love that."

    That day, the three men played, talked and laughed. It was really a happy Father's Day.

    My name is Dora. I'm American and I'm thirteen. I'm a student in No. 7 Middle School. I like music very much. I can play two instruments — the guitar and the piano. I play them very well and I'm on the school art club.

    "Can I give you one of mine?"5the immediate reply.

    The offer was so simple6Eileen thought she had heard wrong. But Patty repeated she was willing to help, and their journey to the operating table began.

    Eileen always knew that her friend would help. She said7, "When Patty makes a promise, she keeps8."

    The operation went ahead in May, and both women are now very healthy and9than ever.

What will our life be like in the future? Let's learn about some of the cool things in the future.

①Every happy child has a hobby. That's what my mum always says. My hobby is studying the night sky. My sister's hobby is playing the piano. Many people have hobbies like ours. But some people have strange hobbies. 

②Jim, a friend of mine, collects rocks. Everywhere he goes, he stops and looks at rocks. If he finds an interesting one, he will take it home and add it to his collection. His mum says that he has to stop. His room is getting full of rocks. 

③My mum's friend collects salt and pepper shakers (胡椒瓶), but not just any salt and pepper shakers. They have to have something to do with bears. They can have a picture of a bear or look like a bear. 

④When I was in Germany last year, I saw a boy called David reading a book on a train. I said to him, "That is a good book. "He said. "Yes, it is a good book. You can see that it has a green cover. I love collecting books with green covers. "That's a strange hobby. His dream is to have a wall in his house with only green books on it!

⑤And as mum always says, "Every happy child has a hobby. "What's your hobby? " 

Yang Hongwei born in 1966.is a keeper of the Weifang kite-making skill.Born into a kite-making family.Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop.

Yang learned the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16.After practising the skill for 10 years,she started her own shop in 1992

"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites."Yang said."But I think the cultural background behind our kites is unique."

On Yang's kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds,but also some prints telling Chinese history.For example.she once made a kite showing a phoenix(凤凰)that was lined with portraits(肖像)of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.

Yang said that each woman is different in look,clothes and make-up style.To create their portraits,she made lots of effort to check historical records and talk about details with experts.

"It took me a lot of time,"Yang said,"but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people,I feel a great sense of achievement."

In her free time,she travels to different countries including Germany,Australia,the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made."It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage(遗产)around the world and onto our children,"she said.
