    My father is tall and has short, gray(灰白的) hair. He wears glasses with heavy, black frames（框架）. But I just see a picture of him from 1968. What a surprise! In the picture, he's 15 years old. He's short and he has glasses with small, round frames. He has long, yellow hair and it's really straight. He's wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt with the word "Love". I'm 15 years old now. I'm medium height and I have short hair. My hair isn't yellow, it's blue. My dad thinks it's strange(奇怪的), but my friends think it's great. I wear glasses, but my glasses have bright red frames. They're so cool! I have an earring(耳环) in one ear, too. Dad really can't understand(明白) that, I never wear blue jeans. I like big, baggy(松的) pants and long T-shirts. Most of my T-shirts have pictures of my favorite rock bands(摇滚乐队) on them.

    When I just moved to Los Angeles（洛杉矶）, I didn't have a car.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, but I wanted to prove（证明）them wrong.

    I asked my neighbor, Mrs. White, to take me to the bus station in the center of the city, so I could try taking the bus home.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When I got there, I went inside and got a bus timetable（时刻表）. I looked at the map and worked out that I needed to take three buses to get home.

    I bought the tickets and went outside to wait at the bus stop for the Number 8 bus. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I gave my ticket to the bus driver and took a seat. At the right stop I got off. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I waited and waited. A man was also waiting for the same bus. He said that it wasn't unusual for the bus to be late. Half an hour later, it finally came. To make the matter worse, the third bus broke down halfway and the driver had to fix it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. So when I finally got home, I was very tired. Maybe getting a car in Los Angeles wasn't such a bad idea!

I live on a farm in Japan. My parents are farmers. These days, we meet a problem; Some bears often come to our farm. Sometimes they eat plants. Sometimes they even hurt family animals. We are all afraid of them. 

To work out the problem, we have got an idea. Bears are always afraid of big wolves, so we buy two Monster Wolf robots. They are big and strong with two red eyes. They can make sounds like real wolves do. We hope the robotic wolves can drive(驱赶) bears away.  ▲ When the bears see the wolves, they are afraid and go away. 

Now it's winter. Bears need to sleep in winter. They won't come to our farm any more in the next months. The robotic wolves will start to work again next spring. The robotic wolves help us a lot and they make our life different. And I'm really happy to have them.

The reading dog is nice and all the people love her. Many boys and girls love reading to her, so she is very busy*. Do you want to read to her, too? Come to the library in America!
