    Jim, with his father, goes to see his grandfather. In the train Jim often puts his head out of the window. His father says, "Jim! Don't put your head out of the window!" But Jim goes on putting his head out of the window.

    So his father takes Jim's cap quietly (悄悄地), hides (藏) it behind his back and says, "You see your cap is gone." Jim is afraid.

    His father says, "Well, whistle (吹口哨) once. Maybe your cap will come back." Jim whistles. His father puts quickly the cap on Jim's head.

    Oh! It is wonderful. Jim laughs. He quickly takes his father's cap and throws (扔) it out of the window. "Now it is your turn to whistle, Dad!" He says happily.

    I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn't talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

Last summer my parents took me to visit my uncle's family and I was so excited. My uncle lives on a big farm. It's about 100 {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(平方的) kilometres. Their house is at the foot of a large mountain. I always have a good time there.

When we got there, we first went out for a picnic with my uncle's family. We climbed to the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (顶端) of the mountain. The wind was so cool and the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(风景) were so beautiful. My cousin Rob {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(展示)me some interesting huge stones. They all had unusual {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(外形;形状). Some look like animals, and some look like {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(人). I really hoped I could take one home, but they were too big!

In the afternoon, my cousin Rob took me to the forest. We walked along a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(小路) and found a hole. It was a trap(陷阱) for hunters(猎人) to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(抓住) little animals. We found a rabbit amd saved it. Then we saw some squirrels(松鼠) and played with them for a while. When we got home, we were so hungry and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(渴的). We had a good dinner together. After dinner we watched TV for a while and then we went to bed.

The next day Rob {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(唤醒) me up early in the morning. We went to see the sunrise. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so beautiful! We enjoyed it very much.

Garfield (加菲猫) first appeared in a comic strip (连载漫画) on June 19, 1978. Garfield is famous as a cartoon hero. Garfield products are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in many countries. 

Jim Davis created Garfield. Jim was born in 1945 in India. He grew up {#blank#}2{#/blank#} on a farm. His dad kept sheep. Jim and his brother Dave helped with the farm work. They had 25 cats. Their room was always full {#blank#}3{#/blank#} food for the cats. 

As a boy, Jim was in poor {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. When he had to spend time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a rest, he drew pictures to make his life {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. In 1969, he got a job to help a cartoonist. Jim found that there were many comic strips about dogs but few about cats. He couldn't believe it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} there were so many cat lovers. 

He remembered the 25 farm cats he grew up with. They {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him lots of ideas for a cat comic strip. In the comic strip, Garfield became the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} role. Jim Davis has received many {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for his work.

My name is Susan. I am a student of Green Middle School. It's a nice and beautiful school. Here is a map of it. 

Look at the map of our school. This is the music hall, just across from the science building. The music hall is a yellow building with two floors. We often listen to music in it. Sometimes, we have music lessons in it too. The science building is yellow too. A small shop is between the science building and the teachers' building. We can buy many kinds of school things in it. The teachers' building is white. Our teachers often correct (批改) our homework or prepare (准备) lessons in it. Behind the teachers' building is the school hall. It's new and nice. We often have parties or speeches (演讲) in it. A large sports field is next to the school hall. All the students go there and do exercises together in the morning. Every Monday we raise the flag there. The classroom building is across from the school hall and the sports field. We spend most of the time in our classroom. It's big and clean. 

I love my school. It's a beautiful place and I can learn a lot in it.
