Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there？ "his wife asked. "I don't know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram （电报）," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.

    He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.

    In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said, "Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."

    He found a taxi（出租车）and the driver said, "Where do you want to go？"But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel.

    "Which hotel are my things in？" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight？ "But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."

    "Oh, my God," said Mrs. Kim. "I don't think we will be able to do our lesson today." Children loved Mrs. Kim's science lessons. Josh asked, "Why not?" "Well," began Mrs. Kim, "I had planned to do some measuring today. But I forgot to bring any ruler. We can't measure anything without a ruler, can we?"

    "What are we going to measure?" asked Mathew. "I want you to measure the distance from one side of the classroom to the other side." answered Mrs. Kim. "We could measure it as my dad sometimes does，" said C. J. "He sometimes just puts one foot in front of the other. I guess that's how we find out how long something is. "

     "Let's see whether that will work，"said Mrs. Kim. "Why don't you see how many feet it takes to cross the room, C. J. ？"C. J. began walking from one side of the classroom to the other side. He put one foot down and then put the heel of the other foot at the toe of his first foot. He continued doing this until he crossed the room. "I counted thirty of my feet from one side to the other side, " C. J. said.

     "So you think the room is thirty feet across？"asked Mrs. Jim. "I think someone else should try "said Maddie "just to make sure. ""All right，Maddie "said Mrs. Kim "why don't you try？"

    Miss Green was sad. She took her favourite orchid(兰花)to school to show her students. She left the flower in the classroom, but later it was gone. Three students were still in the room. (One of them must be the thief(小偷).

    Two of her students, Max and Nina, decided to help her find who did it.

    The first student they talked to was Maria. "I have a cold," she said." I cannot even speak."

    Patrick was standing next to Maria. "Megan and Maria had already been in the room when I arrived," he said quickly. "I didn't see the orchid."

    Megan, who was known to love pretty flowers best, was the next to answer their questions.

    "Of course it wasn't me," she said to Max and Nina. "I have two orchids at home. I just stopped by to put a book on my desk. Maria was already in the room."

    "So how can you explain that, Maria?" Nina asked.

    "After I practised singing, I stopped to get my notebook, "Maria whispered(小声说). "I'll have a concert tomorrow. I didn't take the orchid."

    Nina and Max had a quick conversation with Miss Green and said, "We think we know who took the orchid."

Today, I felt bad after dinner. So I went out and took a walk in the street at 7:00 pm. While I was walking, I saw an old man selling vegetables. He looked very tired and nobody was buying his vegetables. I wanted to give him something but I brought nothing with me.

Then, a little girl went to him and said,"Excuse me, may I polish(擦亮) your shoes? I need money to buy a new school uniform (校服)."The old man answered,"Oh! Come with me and I will buy you a school uniform." Then they walked to a shop and he bought her a school uniform. The girl thanked him and left happily, leaving the old man smiling.

The old man walked away from the shop, but then I stopped him. I said, "You make the best day of my life. Thank you for your kindness!"As I walked away, I looked back and I could see him still smiling. I felt better and walked home.

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games were over. China's Olympic team won91 medals (奖牌), including 40 gold, 27 sliver and 24 bronze. All eyes are on the Chinese diving dream team(中国跳水梦之队). For the first time, it won all eight gold medals in the diving(跳水) events of the Olympics. In the team, Quan Hongcha n stood out with her wonderful diving.

When Quan was just seven, she started to learn diving. The diving platform (跳台) is very high and she is still so young. Sometimes she is afraid of it, but she always tries her best. Quan practices for eight hours every day, but she never complains (抱怨) about the training from day to night. In the women's 10- meter platform final, she won gold again, just as she did in Tokyo Olympics.

Quan told the reporter(记者)," Everyone says I am a genius(天才). ButI think it's more about hard- working. I must practice over and over again. Practice makes perfect. That's me, Quan Hongchan, from China."
