Mike wants to fly like a bird. His father tells him, "You can't fly like a bird because you are too big." "Why can't I? Some birds are big, but they can fly!" The boy doesn't understand. Bill is crippled. He wants to walk and run like other kids. "Why can't I walk or run like other kids?" Bill thinks.

      One day, the two boys meet in a park. "Do you want to fly like a bird?" Mike asks Bill. "No," Bill says. "I only want to walk and run like you."

      Then Mike walks to Bill's father. He says something to him. "That's OK," says the father. Mike goes to Bill and says, "Get on to my back．Let's run." Then Mike runs with Bill on his back. Bill is very happy and says, "We can fly, Mike! We can fly!"

    It was just three degrees above zero. "That's cold," thought Jane as she got ready to deliver her morning papers. Jane had 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn't ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds. As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas bag, Jane regretted that she hadn't finished her math homework the night before. There was still time. She'd hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.

    Less than an hour later, Jane was nearly finished. She had only five customers to go. She could then head for home to complete her math while her room fixed breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr. Zimmerman, the elder man, who walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas. "I'd like to help Mr. Zimmerman," thought Jane, "but if I do, I won't have time to do my homework." She hated to think what Mr. Roberts would say if she hadn't completed her papers.

    "It's his own fault for running out of gas," Jane talked to herself. "The station is only a half mile down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this — can't he?" As she walked down the street, Jane wondered what to do.

    It's Sunday morning. Peter and his friends had a great plan for the weekend, but the weather is bad.

Sarah: We have to change (改变) our plan for the weekend. What about going to the museum?

Sheila: I' m sorry. I don't want to go to the museum.

John: Well, how about going to the cinema?

Peter: That's a good idea. What's on at the Palladium?

Sarah: Smurfs The Lost village. It's a very interesting new cartoon movie.

Peter: How boring! I always feel bored with such cartoon movies. I think they are for little kids.

John: Well, an exciting movie is also on at the Palladium, The Fate of the Furious. I always love action movies.

Sarah: I heard it was fantastic. Let's go to see it.

Peter: OK. Action movies are my favorite.

Sheila: Great. Let's buy the tickets online now.

    One day, a little monkey and a little fox(狐狸) went out to play. They saw an apple tree on the other side of the river. There were many big and red apples on it. But there was no bridge over the river. The monkey thought(想) hard and had an idea. They pulled down(推倒) a tree and put it over the river as a bridge.

    The monkey said, "My old friend, you go there first." But after the fox went to the other side, he kicked(踢) the tree into the river and ran to the apple tree. "How can I get there without the tree?" cried the monkey. The fox laughed and said, "You just stand there and watch me eating the apples." The monkey was very angry.

    Suddenly it began to rain. The water level(水位) in the river rose（上涨） and tree flew away with the water.

    "You can eat all the apples. But you can't come back," shouted the monkey.

    The fox stopped eating and looked at the monkey sadly.
