One day, a rich old businessman meets a factory worker, a coach and a fisherman. He gives them three seeds （种子） and says, "Bring （带来） me the flowers in three months. The man with the most beautiful 1 can have my money!"

After three months, the factory worker brings a big red flower. The coach brings a small purple flower. But the poor 2 brings nothing. He is very sad.

"I don't know why!" he says. "I 3 it every day."

"You are honest （诚实的）!" the businessman says, "The seeds are4 and 

will not grow! The money is yours."

The fisherman is very 5 .

There was great excitement at King's City this morning when a small dog rolled all the way down an escalator. Cuddles was a three-year-old dog belonging to Mrs Cindy, 48. He wasn't hurt, but his owner was shocked. Mrs Cindy said: We bought our tickets at the ticket office and then walked to the escalator. Cuddles and I were standing at the top of it, when I heard the announcer make his announcement: "The train now arriving at Platform 4 is the 9:52 to Queen's City." "Quick!" I said to Cuddles. "That's our train!" I ran, and slipped on a

bit of paper on the floor and dropped the dog. Cuddles rolled all the way down the escalator, landing in a rucksack at the bottom. Before I knew what was happening, I saw a man pick up the rucksack - with Cuddles inside - and walk onto the train. "Stop!" I shouted. 'That man's got my Cuddles!" Other passengers were also surprised.

 Mrs Cindy didn't think twice. She ran down the escalator as fast she could, jumped onto the train, found the passenger and managed to get her dog back. Cuddles was fine and the pair made their journey home.

Today is Kate's dad's birthday. She would like to make a cake at home. Kate and her parents fly a kite at five. They have rice and fish for dinner. Then they use the knife and fork to cut and have the cake. Look! There is some cake on Kate's father's nose! He looks so cute!

A traveler came out of the airport. There were many taxis. She looked around carefully and asked every p{#blank#}1{#/blank#} name. After that, she took one of them. It c{#blank#}2{#/blank#} five dollars to go from the airport to the hotel. Then the traveler asked the driver to show her around the city for a whole day. For the service, the driver wanted 100 dollars. It was very e{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, but the traveler said nothing and agreed. The driver took the woman everywhere h{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In the evening they went back to the hotel. The traveler gave 100 dollars to the driver and asked the driver f{#blank#}5{#/blank#} another day's driving. It was another 100 dollars. The driver was very pleased.

The next day they went to the same places again. In the evening the driver got the money, but he felt a little guilty (内疚的), b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} 100 dollars a day was a lot of money.

‘So you are going home tomorrow. Where are you from?' said the driver.

‘I come from New York.' answered the traveler.

‘New York?' said the driver. ‘I have a sister in New York too. Her name is Susan. Do you know her?'

‘She asked me to give you 200 dollars!' said the traveller.
