Several summers ago, Joe Smith, a coach(教练)of a football team, and his family were spending their holidays in a small town. One rainy afternoon, it was impossible for them to go out to do something interesting, so the family decided to go to cinema. Joe, his wife, and their three children walked soon to the town's only cinema, bought tickets and went into the hall. The lights were still on, and there were just six other persons there. As Joe entered, some of them saw him and started chapping(鼓掌).

    Joe gave them a smile and turned to his wife. "Aha, I can't believed they know me and I'm getting a warm welcome here," he guessed. "They saw my games on TV."

    They sat down and then a young man came back and gave out his hand. "Thanks a lot," said the coach. "I just can't believe you know who I am." "All I know," replied the man, "It is that they would not show the film until at least ten people bought tickets."

    Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure—a beautiful silk scarf.

    Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.

    Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, "Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see. It is going to bring both of us luck today." And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.

    That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.

    "I'm sorry, do I know you?" Eliza asked.

    "I'm sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew," the old woman replied. "My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck." Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this be Monica, her grandmother's childhood friend?

    Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman.

    "My name's Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I've been living here in California ever since." said the old woman.

    Eliza could not believe her ears …

In my school, once you are in the sixth grade you can create (创建) your own club. It can be anything! I create a classics (经典作品) club. Students can talk about the Latin language (拉丁语) or books in our club.

Running a club is not easy, so I ask a friend for help. To make the club useful, we plan to make a show during each of our meetings. We think of 20 different ideas! Some of those include "Why are classics still important?" "What does Harry Potter have to do with classics?" "How do classics write about women?" To make more students interested in our club, we have topics (话题) from science and maths in classics to arts and languages.

Last week, our school had a club show. It was the first time we had shown our club to others. We had 30 members that day. Now it's time for the club to finally start.

There are some wonderful camps for kids from lower- income (低收入) families in Florida. Below are a few of these.

The girl in the picture is Jenny. She is my friend from {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (伦敦). We write letters to each other every week. It is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (暖和的) there. But now she is in Hangzhou. Jenny studies in a good school in Hangzhou. She is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (十三) years old. Jenny has a new {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (铅笔) and its colour is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (褐色). She likes to draw some animals and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (花) with it. She often draws cats and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (鸟) in her books. She likes swimming too. On {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (星期三) afternoon, Mr. Li helps her practice it. She even swims in winter. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (在……之后) school, she often watches swimming games on TV. Sun Yang is her favourite sport star. There is going to be an exciting match {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (明天) evening and Jenny is happy to meet him then.
