Jodie's Daddy is a Garbageman(垃圾清理工)

    Mr Swales wanted to find out what his students' parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie's Daddy is a Garbageman!”

    Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.

    “Silence!” Mr Swales said, “Being a garbagemen is a difficult and useful job. We should all be thankful to Jodie's father.”

Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn't run up to him the way she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

    Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”

    Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn't seem angry or hurt. “Well,” he said, “they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow's Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”

    The place really smell too good. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don't worry, kid. In five minutes you won't smell a thing.” said her father.

    Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie's father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

    It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie's arms soom got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.

    “Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything's nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making other happy. That's why I like being a garbageman so much.”

    Jodie give her dirty, smeely garbageman daddy a big kiss(吻). She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbagegirl!”

    Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He's a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

Mr. Green is my uncle. He is 37 years old now. He has a house with a big garden. He has some apple trees in his garden. He looks after（照顾） them. Now there are many apples on the trees and my uncle is very happy.

 One afternoon when he looks out of the window，he sees a boy in a red T-shirt in his apple tree. He opens the window and shouts， "Hey，what are you doing there？Come down and get away. Or I'll go to see your father. "

The boy is not afraid（害怕）of my uncle at all. "Dad，" he looks up and shouts， "Mr. Green wants to see you." My uncle smiles， "Ha，it's my son，Dave." What an interesting story it is! Share it with your family and friends.

 When I was eight years old, my family moved to London because Father started a new job there. It was hundreds of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( mile) away from my grandmother, so we sometimes spent hours {#blank#}2{#/blank#}( drive) to visit her. Granny never. had much. She didn't have expensive things, or live in a nice house, but I could feel she loved us {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ( deep). I still remember those little things. Granny allowed me {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( sit) on top of her kitchen table, drinking from her coffee cup.

 Granny kept her pennies in a glass jar. She could have used those pennies herself but she kept them {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my brother and me. And I was always excited to divide the pennies between my brother and me." This is yours, and this one is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (I)."I would do it again and again {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the jar was empty. I don't remember how many pennies there were, but I know that's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am lucky enough to find{#blank#}9{#/blank#} penny lying on the ground one day, I am su re it is just the one from Granny in heaven.

 Although Granny {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( leave) me, those childhood memories still give me warm feelings through the years.

My parents are always very busy with their work. When I don't need to go to school, I have to stay at home by{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（I）. 

Sometimes I feel really bored and want to go on a trip. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（lucky）, last week my parents had a four-day vacation, so they decided  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（take）  me to Guilin by train. When we got to the station, we saw many people there and we  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（wait） over an hour for the train. 

Guilin is a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （wonder） city with beautiful scenery （风景）. There are new buildings everywhere in the city. People there are friendly and the streets are very clean. On the second day after we arrived there, we rented （租） three  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （bicycle） and rode them around the city.  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we were hungry, we stopped to eat some food. On the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（three） day, we took a boat trip along the Lijiang River to Yangshuo. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the way, we saw mountains of different shapes （形状）. We spent three days in Guilin and had {#blank#}10{#/blank#} enjoyable time.
