Ray was thought to be a strange boy. One day when he was flying his kite, he said to himself," Did anybody ever try to fly a kite at night? I think it must be very fun. But the kite can't be seen in the dark. What if I tie a light to it? That would be really good. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(try) it tonight."

As soon as it was dark, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) his kite and lantern, and went to a large field about a mile from his home. He tied the lantern to the tail of his kite. The lantern {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) of paper. The kite flew higher and higher. He tied the string (线)to a tree, and then he stood there, staring at his kite. It floated (飘) high up into the air. How wonderful! While Ray {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(enjoy) his special kite, some people in the village also saw it.

"Look! A light{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (fly) in the sky," one person said. "It can't be a light," said a man.

"Perhaps it's a big firefly (萤火虫) ,"said another,

"Maybe it's a comet (彗星),"said another man.

"How strange!" said a boy.

"Let's find out what this strange light{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be)," the last one said. Then they went to the field.

Ray, who had gotten tired of standing, was sitting behind a tree. He{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see) the men as they came, but they didn't see him. When they reached under the light, and saw what it was, they looked at each other and said, "There is nothing unusual {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(happen)! This is just a trick of some naughty boys, but it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fool) us all.

Let's keep the secret. "Then they laughed and went back to the village. When the men had gone, Ray thought it was time for him {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(go), so he went home, too. When his mother heard what he had done, she hardly knew whether to laugh or scold (责备), but just told him to go to bed.

Have you ever thought about driving in a "bed car"? Is there a "car" which can be driven both on the road and in the water? Can we own a "car" that can help to water flowers with a remote control (遥控)? These may sound crazy, but a man named Gu Yupeng has made it come true.

Born in 1983, Gu had the dream of being a car inventor at a young age, but his family is poor. To realize his dream, Gu had to start his first job right after junior high. However, he got hurt badly by accident while working in 2017, which made him give up the job. After that, he began raising pigs to make a living. With the money he made, he created all kinds of amazing "cars" with used materials like waste steel (钢) and engines (发动机).

In 2019, Gu shared his videos of his "magic cars" on the internet, and soon he got millions of fans. So many people like him not only because of his videos, but also because of his passion (热情) for life and his creativity. If the "magic cars" are finally produced someday, will you buy one?

Betty collected a basket of seashells. She showed them to Amy." Look! They are all1 . These are big, and those are small. Some look like beautiful animals… Well, I can use them to make a birthday present for my Dad! How wonderful!"

Suddenly, Amy saw the sea water rising along the beach. She was 2 and cried," The waves! They will take your toys!"

" Put my seashells onto the bus, Amy!" Betty ra n 3 to get her toys.

Just when Amy was about to get the basket onto the bus, she fell down and the shells4 into pieces.

When Betty 5 , she saw the pieces and cried. Amy tried to tell her what happened, but Betty still looked 6 and didn't talk to Amy. Amy didn't know what to do, so she took them home.

The next morning at school, Amy found Betty on her 7 . She walked over to her desk and took out a frame(框) and a bag of seashells." Betty, I 8 some nice seashell pieces from the broken ones last night. Shall we glue(粘) them to the frame together? We can put a( an) 9 of your family in it. It will be a wonderful present." Amy said. Betty agreed. Together they made a beautiful frame.

" Sorry, I wasn't careful yesterday, Betty." Amy said."I know the shells are 10 to you."

"I should also say‘ sorry' to you. I like them, but you' re my best friend." Betty smiled.

One day Ram was lost on his way home and went into a forest. He walked in the forest and saw a den (洞穴) . He went inside and saw a lion there. He was so scared that he ran out{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. At that time, an elephant came and said, "Don't worry. I will be your friend." Great! Could you tell me the way out of the forest? " asked Ram. But the elephant did not know the way either. They walked and walked{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the elephant was trapped in a cage. To save the elephant, Ram asked all the animals in the forest for help, but they could do {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. So Ram had to wait. At last, when the man slept, Ram took the key from his bag and opened the cage. The elephant thanked Ram very much. He called {#blank#}4{#/blank#}elephants and trumpeted (吼叫) with them.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the sound, some people came to the forest and took Ram home.

It's nice today. A fox (狐狸) is looking for food. Then he sees a chicken on a farm. He says to himself(他自己), "Wow, great! This is my delicious(美味的)breakfast." He comes up to the chicken and says, "Hi, Miss Chicken. I know you can sing very well. All my friends like your songs very much. Can you sing one for me?" The chicken is happy to hear（听到） that. And she is proud（骄傲）of herself(她自己).So she sings a song. The fox sees that and takes her away quickly.

On the farm, there are some farmers. They see the fox and shout(大喊), "Look! The fox is taking the chicken away." Hearing this, the chicken says to the fox, "Mr. Fox, can you hear that? The people say you are taking their chicken away. Tell them I am your chicken, not their chicken." The fox opens (张开)his mouth and says, "You are right." Then he shouts, "This is my chicken, not your chicken." Just then the chicken runs away（逃跑） from the fox and flies into the tree.
