There's a park near my home. People like to go to this park after work, because they like the beautiful flowers and clean air in the park. Some of them go there every day. Look! That's Mr. King. He is taking a photo for his son, Jim. They look very happy. Some boys are playing games. Some boys are playing football. Lucy and Lily are standing under a tree. They're talking. There's a small river in the park. We can see some boats on the water. Some children are sitting in the boats with their parents. Listen! A girl is singing.

    This is really a nice park. We all like it very much.

Dave is my friend. His family is rich. His parents always give him lots of pocket money(零用钱). But Dave thinks his parents work very hard and it's not easy for them to make money, so he always tries to save money. He has some good ways to do it.

Dave likes books. He tells me he often buys books online, because they're cheaper. And when he is free, he often goes to bookshops to do some reading. Dave has a bike. He usually goes to school by bike instead of(代替) taking a bus. Sometimes when it rains or snows, he walks. These two ways help Dave keep healthy and save money.

Dave brings a bottle of water to school every day. When others drink juice, he enjoys water. He says water is the cheapest and the best drink.

Some students think Dave is mean(吝啬的). But I don't think so. I think he is right.

Einstein has to speak at an important science meeting.  On the way there, he tells his driver that looks a bit like him, "I'm sick of all these meetings. I always say the same things over and over!"

The driver agrees, "You're right. As your driver, I attend all of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the speech in your place. "

"That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's exchange our places then!"

So they exchange clothes. As soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.

But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to show off and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be able to answer. So this guy stands up and cuts in the speech by raising his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the answer.

The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says, "Sir, your question is so easy that I'm going to let my driver answer it for me."

My name is Maisie Hall and I have five brothers and sisters! Life in our house is fun, but it's difficult, too.

On school days I get up very early at 6:30 a.m. I have my breakfast first. After breakfast I take a shower and get dressed.

At 8:00 a.m. we go to school by bus. School starts at 8:30 a.m. and we go home at 3:00 p.m. After school I don't watch TV. I clean the house for my mom and play with my brothers and sisters.

We have dinner together at 7:00 p.m. My baby brother goes to bed at 8:00 p.m. and my other brothers and sisters go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Then I can study!

From 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. I do my homework and read a book. After that I brush my teeth and go to bed.

Hello, I am Mary. I live in Chengdu. It's sunny and cool in my city now. I'm studying at home. My parents are shopping. What's the weather like in your city? And what are you doing?

During the summer vacation, some boys came to a tall tree. They wanted to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree first. Their mothers sat there, looking at the children. 

David was one of the boys. He was young and short. No one thought he would win the game. When the game started, all of the boys tried to climb as high as they could. They all made it halfway (在中途) up the tree before David got to the top of the tree first in the end. 

His mother was amazed to see it. She asked, "David, how did you get to the top so quickly? "

David said, "The other boys kept looking down as they climbed. When they learned how high they were, they got scared and were afraid of falling down. But I only looked up. When I saw how close I was, I kept climbing. " It's true in life that if we keep moving forward (向前) without looking back, we will get close to our dreams.
