    Today is Sunday. It's Betty's birthday. She is twelve years old. She is at home with her parents now. They're going to have a birthday party. Her father is decorating the house. Her mother is making the birthday cake. Betty is washing some apples, pears and grapes. All of them are very busy. The party will start at seven o'clock in the evening. Betty's friends, Kate, Joan, Mike, Tom, Rose and Jack will come to the party. They will give Betty some presents. The children are going to sing and dance at the party. Betty's mother will play the piano for them. Betty's father will take photos of them. I think they will have a good time at the party.

    Hello, I'm Mike. My family had a good time last Sunday. Let me tell you. I went to the Nature Park to see animals. I took many pictures for them. The animals are cute. My mother was busy. She washed the clothes and cooked dinner at home. My father read some newspaper. In the evening we ate dinner and watched TV together! That was fun! What about you? What did you do last weekend?

Air Jordan

    Michael Jordan (1963- ) is one of the most famous basketball players in the world. He was born in Brooklyn (布鲁克林), New York. He didn't like to talk about himself. He was also very short. He didn't play very well when he joined the basketball team in his high school at first. But the next year things changed greatly for him, as he grew much taller.

    Michael Jordan became famous when he joined the university basketball team in North Carolina (北卡罗来纳州). Michael used his quickness and strength to reach the basket again and again. He played so well that people call him Air Jordan. After college, Michael became a member of the Chicago Bull basketball team. The NBA was very surprised at this high-flying player. He was named Rookie of the year in 1985 and the most Valuable Player in 1987. He once set a record by getting 63 points in one game.

    Little Peter is now in Beijing with his parents. Little Peter doesn't know much Chinese, but he is trying to learn and speak it. He often tries to speak Chinese to his Chinese friends. Sometimes they don't understand him, because he can't speak Chinese well.

    It's Sunday morning. He goes out. He is walking in the street. He is going to the zoo to see the monkeys, but he doesn't know how to get there. He asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand him. Then he takes out a pen and some paper. He draws a monkey on it, and shows the picture to the boy. The boy smiles and then shows little Peter the way to the zoo.
