    I did something wrong today.

    While at the beach this afternoon, I met a boy called Bob. We talked a lot. He said that it was fun playing on the cliffs(悬崖). I told him that I was not allowed to go near that place. Mum and Dad had always told me it was dangerous to play there. He called me a coward. I wanted to prove to him that I was just as brave, so I agreed to go with him.

    We wanted to make our way down to explore(探索) the area, so Bob started to climb down and I followed him. Unluckily, some rocks came down after us. One of them nearly hit my head. We could not get back up. We shouted and shouted for help, but for a long time no help came. I was really scared. I wanted to cry. Then, we heard some sounds. Someone had heard us. A woman tied (系) a rope around herself while a man at the cliff top held the rope. She made her way down to save us.

    My parents were relieved(宽慰) that I was unhurt , but they were angry that I had done such a risky thing. I apologized and promised that I would not do anything like that again.

    "The hound of Baskervilles" is a legend which tells us that a hound used to kill people in the Baskervilles family. Sherlock Holmes is good at searching and discovering. He is a very careful person as well. In the stories, he can quickly give you the explanation of the things happened just now. Sherlock Holmes is such a person.

    Sherlock Holmes wants to know more about it because Doctor James asks him for help. During the case, Charles Baskervilles dies and the cause of his death may be the hound. After watching the situation in a small house for some time, Holmes finds the murderer and he is going to murder Sir Henry Baskervilles. Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson and Henry Baskervilles kill the hound at last and the murderer(凶手) who wants to get the money of the family finally dies in the marsh(沼泽地).It is a very exciting story shows how clever Sherlock Holmes is. Thanks to Konan Doyle, we can read a lot of good detective stories now.

I am Mandy and I live in the city with my parents and my little sister. The city life is boring sometimes. I love going to my grandmother's village(村庄). 

It is so much fun living in the village. I like collecting leaves (收集树叶) there. I usually do it on my way to the only shop in the village. They have many different shapes. Some are like a heart and some are like a hand. . . I can make a lot of things with leaves. One fun thing is making leaf pictures. 

This is how I make a leaf picture. I take a leaf out and I also need paper, glue (胶水), a brush(刷子) and paints (绘画颜料). First, I glue the leaf onto the paper and wait for an hour. Then, I paint over the leaf and the paper and let the paints get dry(变干). Next, I take the leaf off the paper. There it is—a beautiful leaf picture on the paper!

I sometimes make birthday cards or other things with the leaf pictures. My friends like them very much. I tell them，"They are not just gifts from me. They're gifts from my grandmother's village！"

In life, do you choose to take the road everyone has taken, or do you choose the path that is best for you? It might be 1 to choose what everyone has done, especially if it seemed to be the right fit for them. But is that what truly 2 for you? 

Recently, on a hiking trip, my partner and I decided to take a popular trail (特定路线) in the 3 direction. This was an old, well-traveled trail that people had been hiking and biking from A to Z for years. For our own 4 , we chose to travel from Z to A. Going backwards made more5 with my plan. The trip would take several days and going backwards made it 6 that I would end the trip closer to the airport for my flight home. 

As my partner and I walked, everyone crossing our path had something to say, "You're going the wrong way. Are you 7 ? Are you returning because you forgot something? Are you crazy? The path crossed a highway somewhere. When it did, even passing cars beeped (发出嘟嘟声) to8 us of the "right" direction. 

Why did people only see one way? Because that's what everyone does? Because that's how it's always been done? We even 9 to talk to a Danish woman who said, "We have a saying in my country: When you go backwards to everyone else, it's because you're avoiding something. "I couldn't 10 it. We were just enjoying connecting with nature, hiking the way that best 11 us. Had we gone the "wrong way"? No. At least, not for us. 

I decided to 12 the path I chose. In the end, we had a (n) 13 experience. Choosing the "wrong" path was 14 for me. When the 15 in your heart tells you something is right (or wrong) , listen to it. It's speaking to you for a reason and it knows, better than anyone, what's best for you. 

There is a little dog living with his mother. His mother makes dinner for him and the little dog often does some things to help her. One day, the little dog sees a pumpkin (南瓜). He wants to take it home, but it is too big and heavy . The little dog can't carry it at first.

At that time, the little dog sees the boys playing football. He looks at the boys' football. He says, "____▲____ I can roll(滚动) the pumpkin. It's like a all."

So the little dog rolls the pumpkin easily. It's like an interesting game for him. At last. He rolls the pumpkin to his home. His mother says in surprise, "Oh, dear! How can you do that? The pumpkin is so big!" The little dog says happily, "I can't carry it, but I can roll it." His mother says, "What a good boy. You are really good at thinking. I'm so happy about that."
