Tim is a 16-year-old boy who studies in a high school .His parents tell him to study hard and they do everything for him. They wake him up at 6:00 a.m. and after breakfast his father takes him to school by car. As soon as the young man comes home from school, the supper is ready. Of course, he never does chores(杂物). Once, Tim's father would go to London on business for a year. Before leaving, he told his wife to look after their son well. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. Two months later, she was so tired that she was ill. The young man got into trouble at once. He couldn't do housework. He didn't know where to get on the bus.

     Yesterday Tim's mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair. But he didn't know how to choose right shoes. The woman had a sigh(叹息）,gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样)and told him to buy shoes himself. With a policeman's help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper brought some shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What's the matter?”

“I'm sorry. I've left my shoe pattern at home.”

    From a large elephant to a small mouse, animals live happily together in Disney's new movie Zootopia. Judy Hopps, the main character, becomes the first rabbit police officer in the city. While solving a mystery, she meets the smart fox, Nick, who helps her with her case (案件), and some other animals like the lion mayor (市长) and a sloth(树獭)called Flash. Here is something more about the movie.

    There are 64 kinds of animals in the movie. All of them look like real ones except Judy, the first rabbit police officer. Its appearance is a bit different from real rabbits. Real rabbits actually have split lips (嘴唇)，but the film makers decided to make Judy's lip all together to look nice.

    Film makers learned that not all fur (皮毛) of animals is the same. In the movie, some of polar bears' fur is clear. It appears white because the light reflects off it. Part of a fox's fur is dark at the root, getting lighter till its red top. They did so to make sure that the animals in Zootopia were believable.

    Moreover, a film maker, Nathan Warner with his partners also took a trip to Africa for researching animals. There they had a close watching of different animals. According to their discovery, these artists added leaves to animals' coats like the big sheep. They also made animals' tears run from the inside corners of eyes down to the outside of the mouths.

    Mr. Knott [not] is a teacher. He teaches in a big school in London. Because he lives a long way from the school, he is usually quite tired（疲惫的） when he get home. At nine o'clock one evening when he is in bed, the telephone rings（铃响）, so he answers the phone, " Hello! Who's that?"

    "Watt [what]." a man says.

    "What's your name, please?" says Mr. Knott.

    "Watt's my name," the man answers.

    "Yes, I asked you that what is your name." Mr. Knott asks.

    "I told you. Watt's my name." says the man. "Are you Jack Smith?"

    "No, I'm Knott," says Mr. Knott.

    "But what's your name?" the man says.

    Mr. Knott and Mr. Watt put their telephone down and think, "What a foolish（愚蠢的）man!"

    Roger is new in town, and it has been hard to make friends. The kids at school are nice, but Roger is shy. His birthday is coming up soon. He is planning a big party. It will be a lot of fun. There will be cake, and ice cream, and a treasure hunt(寻宝游戏). But what if none of the other kids want to come?

    One week before his party, Roger and his dad go to their favorite restaurant. Benny's Pizza Parlor makes the best pizza in town. Roger orders a large pizza, with four kinds of cheese and extra pepperoni (意大利香肠). He loves every bite. When he is finished, Roger and his dad go to the kitchen to talk to Benny.

"How was the pizza?" Benny asks.

    "It was great!" says Roger.

    "Thank you!" says Benny.

    Suddenly, Roger gets a great idea. "Benny," he says. "Will you cook pizza for my birthday party?"

    "Hold on, Roger," says Roger's dad. "Benny is very busy. He might not have time to make pizza for your party." "But everyone loves his pizza!" says Roger. "If we have it, I'll be the most popular boy in school."

    "I know what to do," says Benny. "I won't cook pizza for your party. Instead, I'll show you how to make it yourself!" That week, Roger goes to Benny's Pizza Parlor every day after school. Benny shows him how to make pizza and he tries his best.

    Roger tells the kids at school that his party will have pizza from Benny's. Everyone is excited. Everyone loves Benny's pizza. But when they come to his house, Benny isn't there. Instead, they see Roger, wearing an apron(围裙) and a chef's hat. The kids don't believe that Roger knows how to make pizza. However, he's ready to prove them wrong. Roger makes them his favorite pizza, with four kinds of cheese, and extra pepperoni. Everyone says the pizza tastes just like Benny's. It might even be just a little bit better.
