Rick and Henry are good friends. They play together every day. 

One night, Rick calls Henry, "Tomorrow will be a fine day. Shall we go out to play football? ""Henry likes football, so he says, "OK. Let's meet at 2: 30 pm. "

The next day, Rick comes to Henry's home on time. But Henry is lying on his bed and playing mobile games. He says to Rick," ▲ "

"OK, "says Rick. He waits for about one hour, but Henry still doesn't come out. At this time, Henry says, "I don't want to go out now. Why don't you go alone? "

Hearing this, Rick goes away angrily(生气地). He says to himself, "I'm not going to play with him any more! "

In the evening, Henry's mother has a talk with him. "You can't break your words like this, or you will have no friends. "Henry feels worried. He says, "I'm wrong. "Then he calls Rick and says sorry to him. And he goes to Rick's home early the next morning!

People may have many different kinds of hobbies during their lifetime. When we are very young, we spend most of our time playing with toy trucks. We may enjoy playing a sandbox or building with wooden blocks(木块). When we get older, we start our first real hobbies. Some kids go out for a sport like football or skating. These new interests can be quite time-consuming and most children spend a lot of time on them. Some children might get interested in less active activities like reading, painting, or stamp collecting. Others might enjoy playing an instrument like the piano or the flute(笛子).

As we get older, our hobbies might change or go on. Some people might spend their whole lives on stamp collecting. Other people might change their interests every year depending on fashions. Some people are lucky that they have found jobs that are similar to their hobbies, like a person who loves teaching and becomes a teacher.

"Robots, drones(无人机) and AI will do around 90% of the housework by 2040, " scientists from King's College said. 

Mischa Dohler and Dr. Ian Pearson wrote a report to predict what homes will look like in 20 years. In it, they said that housework like washing the clothes and doing the dishes would be much easier because of technology progress(进步). If technology kept making progress, they expected that people would spend less than two hours a day in doing housework. 

But most British people still don't believe their predictions. Just 2/5 of the people think that house robots will become a reality(现实) by 2040. 

Sam wants to be a musician. When he was a young kid，he loved music very much. Now he enjoys playing many instruments such as the guitar，the violin and the drum  but he loves playing the piano most.

Sam has wanted to be a musician since he first learned to play the piano. He likes to play the piano because it always makes him quiet when he is angry or sad. Also，he likes to listen to all kinds of music. 

He'd like to be a musician and play great music in his concerts. He hopes his friends and many other people will go to his concerts. Then he can get a lot of money from the concerts and give all the money to other children who need money. 

Of course，he will have to practice very hard if he wants to be a musician. We hope that he can become a musician. Then he'll be very happy and do some things to help many people. 

With the rapid development of short videos, their widespread use has become a major trend. A recent study surveyed 1,557 Chinese people about their short video— watching habits. It found that people may be so immersed(沉迷的) in short videos that they cannot stop watching them.

Dear Mike,

My name is Li Hua.
