(B)

    A man is walking through(穿过) a forest. He has some caps(帽子) in his hands. In the forest, there are a lot of monkeys. The day is hot, so the man has a rest under a tree. He puts one cap on his head and lies down to sleep(躺下睡觉). When he wakes up(醒来), he can't find his caps. "Where are my caps?" he cries and looks up. He sees some monkeys in the trees. Each(每个)has a cap on its head. "Give me back my caps!" shouts the man to the monkeys. But they don't understand(理解) him. They only jump, laugh(笑) and dance. "How can I get back my caps'?" he thinks. Then he has an idea. He takes off his cap and throws it on the ground. The little animals do the same thin9.

Happily the man picks up all the caps and goes on his way.

    I'm Mary. I'm 12 years old. I'm 1.62 metres. I have a friend. Her name is May. She is taller than me. But she is one year younger than me. We go to school by bus everyday. I like English best, but she likes music and art.

Dear Peter，

    Thank you for your letter. Now I'm going to answer some of your questions. You ask me about the weather in Beijing in winter. It's quite cold and it often snows in winter. After snowing, the ground is white. And I can skate on the ice. It's very interesting to skate. I like winter best.

    You ask me when it is the best time to come to China. I think the best time to come to China is in spring or in fall. It's often too hot in summer and it's too cold in winter. I have to finish this letter now. Ask your brother to come to China with you together. Welcome to Beijing soon.

Yours，

Jim

    Helen and her mother are in the supermarket. Where is the shop assistant? Look, she's coming and smiling. "Hello, can I help you?"

    "Can we have some durians and strawberries, please?"

    "Sorry, we have some strawberries, but we haven't any durians."

    "Can we have some plums?"

    "OK, here you are."

    "Oh, the strawberries are red and big. But the plums..."

    "The plums are small but they are sweet. Taste one, please."

    "Mm, they are sweet. We like them."

    Then Helen and her mother buy some fruit. They are happy.

    Grandma Li lives in Hangzhou. One day, her grandchildren went to visit her. The，children played hide-and-seek. One of them hid under the bed. He found an old box under the bed. They were interested in the box, but it was locked, and there was no key beside it. Grandma had not the key, either. That afternoon, the children were playing outside. They saw an old key. They opened the box with the old key. There was a piece of paper in it. That was a letter from Grandpa long long ago.

    Christmas Day always comes on the 25th of December. It is the biggest festival in many countries. Children are very excited because they can get many presents from Father Christmas. Father Christmas is an old man in red clothes. When small children go to bed on the night of December 24th, they put a stocking at the end of their bed. Their parents ask them to sleep early, or Father Christmas will not give them anything. Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early, because they can see many presents in their stockings.

    On Christmas Day, all the families will get together to have a big lunch or dinner, play party games and watch the Christmas programmers on TV.
