George was a quiet, serious young man. He had been studying very hard for one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.

  “You've never been to a dance, George.” he said. “It's boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.”

  “Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment of hesitation.

    So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim became worried about him, so he said, “now we'll walk home in the cool air.”

    On their way home, they came to a bridge. George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected on its surface.

 “What are those lights down there?” George asked.

 “They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.

 “The stars?” George said. “Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!”

    Today is Friday. I'm going to the supermarket this afternoon. I'm going to buy some food and a comic book. Tomorrow morning I'm going to Guangzhou for a trip. I'm going there by train. I'm going to read my new comic book on the train. The day after tomorrow I'm going to Kunming by plane from Guangzhou. In Kunming, I'm going to see folk dances and eat snacks. I'll be very happy this holiday.

One fine Sunday morning, Robert would like to go fishing in a river nearby. He says goodbye to his mother and goes out. When he gets to the river, he finds some other boys there. They try to catch fish, but there are not a lot of fish in the river. Robert catches only one. Happily, he puts in into his jar with some water.

In the afternoon, he sees more fish in the river. Quickly he takes off his shoes and walks into the water. He put his nets into the river. But the fish swim away. When he gets back to the jar, he doesn't see the fish.

He gets home late with nothing in the jar. His mother asks him, "Do you have a good time?" Robert answers, "No, but the fish does."
