George was a quiet, serious young man. He had been studying very hard for one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.

  “You've never been to a dance, George.” he said. “It's boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.”

  “Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment of hesitation.

    So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim became worried about him, so he said, “now we'll walk home in the cool air.”

    On their way home, they came to a bridge. George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected on its surface.

 “What are those lights down there?” George asked.

 “They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.

 “The stars?” George said. “Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!”

    It is March 12th. It's Tree Planting Day. There are many people on the hills. They're planting trees. People plant many trees today. Plants are important to us. They can make food from the air, water and sunlight. But animals and people can't do so. Animals and people can get food from plants. Without plants, life will not go on, Plants make the air clean. They can keep water from flowing away(流失). They can stop wind from blowing up sand and earth. But in some places people are cutting down too many trees. This brings about floods and sandstorm. Now more and more people know that plants are important. They will plant more trees and grow more plants. They will try to protect the trees.

    Look! There is a big bag on the table. What fruit is in the bag? Two apples, three oranges, seven bananas, nine pears and some grapes. Lily likes apples. Anna likes bananas. Tom likes grapes and Bob likes pears. I like grapes, too.

Seasons in Canada

    I live in Canada. I love summer! In summer, the weather is usually very hot, and I can swim in the sea.

    Spring is beautiful, but in Canada it often rains. And it is hard to plant flowers in the rain. I love my garden! It is so nice to watch the flowers grow.

    In autumn I can pick apples. They are so delicious in the autumn. I also love to watch the leaves fall. Is that why we can call autumn "fall"?

    It usually snows in winter in Canada. When it snows, I can ski.

    I love all the seasons. They are all beautiful and I can find many things to do.
