Adam and his parents buy things in different ways. Adam likes shopping on the Internet on weekends. http: /club. 360 buy. com is his favourite website(网站). He often buys things such as mobile phones(手机)and cameras(照相机)on it He spends about two hundred yuan buying things on it each month. It often takes him three days to get his products.

    But Adam's parents never shop on the Internet. They can't see the real products (产品)and they often worry. Adam's mother likes buying clothes but she can't try them on(试穿) if she buys the clothes on the Internet. So she often goes shopping with her husband(丈夫). There are some shops near their home, so Adam's parents often go there to shop.

It was raining heavily as I was walking up the hill towards the station at six o'clock on a Saturday morning. At this early hour there wasn't much traffic and there weren't many people. Just as I was crossing the road near the top of the hill, a car came around the corner. It was traveling very fast. Suddenly it hit a lamp post and turned over.

    I ran to the car to help the driver at once. He was badly hurt and there was a lot of blood on his face. A young woman hurried into the station and phoned for an ambulance, while I took care of the driver. Many people came to see what happened. A policeman arrived a few minutes later and asked me a lot of questions about the accident. After a while the ambulance arrived and the driver was sent to the hospital.

    On Monday morning I went to the hospital to see the man. The doctor told me that he was much better, and he would leave the hospital after a few day's rest.

Lisa is serious about the chores in her house. She gives her children things that they 1 . do according to their age. She started by asking John, the2 of her two sons, to help with the dishes. It is now an easy cho re3 . the 15-year-old. His13-year-old brother, Dave, now4 John, too. They take turns (轮流) washing the5 each week. The boys also clean their study tables, make their beds and6 food from the market on Sunday mornings. Besides(除了) these, the boys also know how to cook easy meals 7 their parents are not at home.

The family of 8 live in a big house but they do all the housework themselves.

Lisa says," When I was young, my father wanted us to do things on our own(独立地)and learn how to9 ourselves. Now I'm doing it to my kids." John says," Doing chores is10 . You learn important life skills and responsibility(责任)."

Veronica Cabrera Moreno comes from Houston, USA．With the help of her family, she made an art classroom out of an old school bus.

Veronica, a mother of four, likes painting a lot. She always uses art to make her neighborhood better. One day, she thought, "Why not ask kids to paint on a school bus?" She wanted to make an art bus and began to ask for some donations online.

Soon, Veronica got everything she needed. And her art bus looks very beautiful. There are some desks and chairs in it. All the art supplies in it are free. Children can use colored pens, paper, etc. without paying money. Parents can get on the bus and paint with their children, too. They can have lots of fun there.

"I think art is very important to children," Veronica says. "It is a nice way to express (表达) themselves. And art can help children grow into great persons of tomorrow."
