My name is George．I'm from England．Now I'm studying in Germany．I get to school at 7：30 every morning．I find many of my schoolmates come to school by bike．  ①   

    This is an interesting thing for me．In England people usually drive，take a bus or walk somewhere，for example，to school．In Germany, I often see people，even people over eighty years old going somewhere by bike．It makes me think：  ②   

My father gives the answer．We are living in Northern Germany．It is very flat(平坦的).So it is easy for people here to go somewhere quickly by bike .And it's cheaper than(比…….便宜)going by car or by bus．Also,it's good for the environment(环境)．

    I like riding bikes now．   ③    When I go back to England，I will ride more and ask my friends to ride with me．I think they will like tiding bikes，too．

    Hello, everyone. I am Tom. You know that different people have different hobbies. Such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. I was interested in stamps and started to collect them two years ago.

    My father works in a big company. He always goes abroad. Two years ago, when he was working in America, he sent home a letter with a beautiful stamp on the envelope (信封). I got the first stamp. I liked it very much. From then on I have always asked my father to send me different stamps from different countries. Later I joined a club and I have made many friends there. My friends encouraged me to write about my experiences on the stamps.

    I have collected 300 stamps. My hobby has brought me pleasure and success. I can also enjoy the beautiful designs of stamps. So I think hobbies can make me grow as a person.

    Mr Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the car were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkin always wore the same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr Perkin did not like to be different.The following week, Mr Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind, and on both sides of him.He likes the feeling of being the same.Mr Perkin parked(停车) his car in a big car-park(停车场) near his office, and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a look he didn't like. So he stopped. Time went by.Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow.Beta 400s in the car-park. After he got back home, he felt frustrated and thought to himself that maybe being different is not so bad.

    Patrick doesn't like school. He thinks doing homework is too boring. He likes to play baseball and basketball after class.

    One day his cat is playing with a little elf (精灵). The elf says, "Help me! Don't give me back to that cat. If you help me, I can grant（承认you a wish." So Patrick says, "Help me do all my homework for 35 days."

    The elf doesn't always know what to do and he needs help. "Help me! Help me!" he says. And Patrick has to help. "I don't know this word," the elf asks. "Get me a dictionary. Look up the word." When it comes to math, the elf says," I know nothing about math. Here, sit down beside me and help me." The elf doesn't know anything about history, he says, "Go to the library. I need books. And you can help me read them, too."

    Patrick works hard every day. Patrick gets A at each subject. But I tell you a secret. In fact Patrick does the homework by himself.
