Many middle school students don't know how to spend their free time. When they have holidays, they always have nothing to do and feel bored. How can you spend a perfect holiday? Here are some suggestions(建议).

If you like to stay at home, you can do these things. First, you may listen to some light music which helps relax yourself after working for a long time. Second, you can play some indoor(室内的)games such as chess, cards, and able tennis. Third, you can also plant some trees and flowers in your garden to make your home beautiful. Finally, it is also a good way to keep a pet and talk with it. For example, you can chose to keep a dog.

If you don't like to stay at home, you can go for a picnic with your family or friends, take a walk with your parents in a park, or play some sports out of the house. Go out of the house, and you can take some fresh air and keep healthy.

Just have some hobbies(爱好)and you will feel happy during a long holiday.

Two frogs lived in a village all their lives. They would like to go and see the big city. It was about 20 km away from their village. 

They talked about it for a long time, and at last they went to see the big city. 

It was a hot day, and they soon felt tired. They only walked a little way when one said to the other, "We must be near there. Can you see the city? " "No, " said the other frog. "But if I climb on your back, I may be able to see it. "So that small frog climbed up on the back of the big frog to see the city.

Now when the small frog put up his head, his eyes could only see what was behind, and not what was in front. So he saw the village they just left. 

"Can you see the city? " asked the big frog.

"Yes, " answered the small frog. "I can see it.    ▲    "

Then the frogs went back and said to the frogs around the village, "We saw the city, and it was just like our village. "

More and more Americans are going to work by bike. Do you know why more people are 1 bikes to work? We can answer the question in 2 ways. First, bikes don't need gasoline(汽油), so it takes less 3 to use them. Second, a bike doesn't 4 much space(空间), so it is 5 to find a place for it. And riding a bike is good for one's 6 . People often drive their 7 to offices or to shops, but now people think riding bikes is a good way of doing sports.

That's 8 more Americans are now going to work 9 bike, and they are 10 their own cars at home. 

Almost every child in cities has the chance to go to school, but not all children in the country are so lucky.

There is a girl called Xiaofang. She is eight years old and lives in a small village in Guangxi. When she was young, she wanted to go to school. But she could not, because her family was too poor to afford the school fee(费用) for her, so her parents had to keep her at home. Instead of studying, Xiaofang worked in the fields with her parents every day. Then Project Hope(希望工程)heard about Xiaofang. It agreed to help Xiaofang to go to school. Her wish of study came true, and now she is studying in a school.

Unluckily, there are many children who can't go to school. You can join in Project Hope and help these children. You know all the good work needs money. Project Hope needs your help. If you give Project Hope ¥300 each year, it can pay for one child to go to school for a whole year. With more money, Project Hope can build new schools, buy good desks, chairs, blackboards and books. Let's help the children together and give them a chance to have a good start in life.

I wake up at six in the morning. Dad is putting the cows and sheep onto the trucks. Mom is putting my favorite milk food and some dried meat (肉干) in a bag. We will start driving to another past ure (牧场). We won't forget to take our yurt(毡房) with us!

 My family moves like this four times every year. It's a tradition (传统) of the Kazak people in Altay, Xinjiang. We have about 100 sheep and 40 cows. We move to different places as the seasons change. So, our animals can always have fresh grass to eat.

 Kazak people have been traveling this way for thousands of years. In the past, it took people about ten days to get from one place to another. If it rained or snowed, traveling was even harder. Luckily, now we have trucks. It only takes us five hours on the road! And as we move from place to place, our lives keep getting better and better.
