Frederick was ill and went to the hospital. A doctor looked him over and said, "Well, Mr Green, you're going to get some injections(针), and you'll feel much better. A nurse will come and give you the first this evening, and you'll have to get another one tomorrow evening.'' In the evening a young nurse came to Frederick's bed and said to him. "I'm going to give you your first injection now, Mr Green. Where do you want it?"

    The old man was surprised. He looked at the nurse for a while, then he said, "Nobody has ever let me choose that before. Are you really going to let me choose now?"

    "Yes, Mr Green," the nurse answered. She was in a hurry, "Where do you want it?"

    "Well, then,'' the old man answered with a smile, "l want it in your left arm, please."

    Our new neighbours are the Browns. They have two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is Jack and the girl is Alice. Jack is 11, and he is one year older than me. Alice and my sister Nancy are 8 years old.

    At weekends, Nancy and I like to go to play with Alice and Jack. Both Jack and I really enjoy playing computer games. Sometimes the girls join us, but the games they enjoy are different from the ones we like.

    There is a big park near our houses. Sometimes, when the weather is fine, the four of us go for bike rides there. We often stop at the huge playground to have some fun. Jack and I like to play basketball, but the girls prefer to sing and dance.

    Our families often have dinner together. On some days, they come over to our house and on other days, we go over to theirs. Mr Brown and his wife cook really well.

    Nancy and I are very glad to have the Browns next door. It's great to have friends living so near.

    John and Tina come from different countries. They are interested in Chinese food. They usually eat Chinese food in restaurants and often talk about it.

    It's Saturday today and it's sunny. John asks Tina to have dinner at Ms. Brown's House. It's the first time that Tina goes there for dinner.

    "Hi, John. Are there different kinds of food at Ms. Brown's House?" Tina asks.

    "Of course. There're all kinds of noodles, such as chicken and cabbage noodles, mutton and potato noodles, tomato and egg noodles and beef and carrot noodles," John says.

    "Sounds great! I like tomato and egg noodles very much," said Tina.

    "Me, too. There are also delicious dumplings and specials. After dinner, we can have ice- cream and fruit. They are on sale."

    "Ice-cream? I know a new kind of ice-cream. It is delicious. And you can keep it for an hour."

    "Great! But there isn't any at Ms. Brown's House."

    "I know where to buy it. Let's go after dinner."

    "OK."

Hello, I'm Cindy. My English is good.

What's this in English?It is a jacket.What colour is it?It's purple.It's my jacket.And what's that?It's a map.It's not my map.It's Simon's.A white ruler is on the map.What's that in English?It's a key.I can spell it.K-E-Y,key.The key is on the quilt.Can you see a cup?It's a white cup.

Friends are a part of our lives. In my life，I have a best friend named Lucy. She means a lot to me. My life would be less colorful without her. Although we sometimes argue，we still treat each other as best friends. 

We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. I guessed that she was a gentle girl. And she really was. When I was in trouble，she always stood by me and made me feel better. 

This winter holiday，we went to the amusement park Happy Valley together. We had fun together on the roller coaster （过山车）. We held each other's hands and shouted loudly when we were riding the roller coaster. It was so exciting. The ride made me feel a little sick, so she bought a bottle of water for me. This experience left me with a lot of good memories（回忆） and made our friendship stronger.

There is a line in the movie Soulmate that says， "If you step on someone's shadow，you will never leave each other. " So I will try my best to "step on her shadow". Many adults think that children can't be friends forever. But I don't believe this. 

Maybe we won't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the good memories she has given me. 

Years ago a farmer owned land near the sea. He always needed workers to help him, but most people did not want to work on farms near the sea. They were 1 of the terrible storms that often hit and destroyed（毁坏）buildings and plants. 

Finally, a short man came to the farmer. "Are you a good worker?" the farmer asked him. "Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man. Although surprised by this answer, the farmer, who really needed 2 , gave him the job. The little man 3 very hard on the farm, and the farmer felt 4 with his work. 

Then one night the wind blew loudly in from the sea. Jumping out of bed, the farmer 5 to the short man's room. The farmer shouted, "Get up! A 6 is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!" But the little man lay in bed 7 and said, "No sir. I told you I can sleep when the wind blows."

Hearing the words, the farmer hurried outside to 8 the storm on his own. To his surprise, he found that everything was tied down and nothing could be blown away. The farmer then 9 what the short man meant, so he returned to his bed to sleep while the wind blew. 

When you're prepared, you have nothing to worry about. Can you 10 when the wind blows through your life?
