It's 5 o'clock. SeanMurphy is on his way home from work. He is tired and the bus is full, but whenhe thinks of seeing his lovely family at home, his heart is full of joy again.

"I want to see mywife, my children and my mother," he thinks. "But first of all I wantto sit on the sofa. I want to relax and read a good book."

Finally Mr. Murphy isat home. He is very tired now but he is happy. He says hello to his family.Then he sits down on the sofa, stretches(伸展)hislegs and lifts up his book.

"Now I canrelax," he thinks and smiles. But Mr. Murphy is not alone in the room. Hismother is playing the guitar and his wife is playing the piano. His two youngerchildren are fighting and his two older children are arguing about thetelevision. And the pots and pans are bubbling on the cooker(炊具).

It's the same everyday. Poor Murphy is very unhappy. He talks to his friend about his problem at abus stop.

Mr. Murphy's friendlistens to him carefully. Then he says: "Go and see Linda McCormack! Sheis a very clever woman. She knows the answer to everything."

Mr. Murphy thinks itworth(值得)a try. The next day, whenhe gets home, he doesn't go into the house as usual. He goes to the garage(车库)and gets on his bike.

I am David. My home town, Bao Loc, is just a small town in Vietnam (越南). But for me, it's really a paradise (天堂). 

The weather is very comfortable. It's not very hot or cold. In the centre of the town, there is a beautiful lake. You can lie on the bank (河岸) and see the white clouds in the blue sky or count (数) the stars at night. You can go there just to relax when you have a lot of things to think about. One of the most famous places is Dambri Waterfall (瀑布). You can enjoy this beautiful waterfall if you come. Don't forget to take some pictures with your camera. 

Bao Loc is very small. It will take you 45 minutes or 1 hour to go around this town. It's so small that people here know each other. They are very friendly. 

Tea and coffee are Bao Loc's local food. I think you will like them very much. 

Why does Bao Loc become a paradise? Because my family are here and they always make me feel warm and safe.

Johnny is an {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(Australia) boy. He plays basketball very {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good). And his favorite color is white.

It's Sunday today. He needn't go to school. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(want) to buy a jacket for school. His mother is busy at work, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he goes to the clothes store with his father. They buy a white jacket there. He likes it very much, so he wears {#blank#}5{#/blank#} jacket to school every day.

Johnny has a very good friend, Alan. From Monday to Friday, they always go to school together. One day, the two {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(friend) are going to school. Alan asks,"Where is your jacket, John?" "Oh, it's in {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(I) room. I just don't want to wear it today."Alan asks,"Why? Your jacket looks very nice."John says,"A button* of my jacket is lost. My mother can't {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(find) the same one in the shop. Do you have any ideas?""How about {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(change) all the buttons on thejacket?"says Alan."Sounds great,"says John. He tells his mother and now he is looking forward{#blank#}10{#/blank#} wearing the white jacket the next day.

Mum and Dad have always tried their best to make sure I grow up happily, and I wanted to do something for them. I decided to help them to wash the dishes. But I didn't want to do it in a simple way. I was going to be the best washerup(洗盘子的人) in the world!

At first, I found it was not easy to be the best washer­up. Sometimes, a plate would fall from my hands and break on the floor. Mum had to come to help me and it made me feel ashamed(羞愧的). Soon I had another problem. I couldn't get those bowls and plates as clean as I wanted. But I wasn't going to stop. After trying more than five bottles of washingup liquid(洗洁精), I finally found the best one that was just right for the job. After weeks of practice, I finally became what I wanted to be—the best washerup in the world. Looking at the shining plates, glasses and bowls, I felt so proud.

And then one day, I came home from school, thinking about washing up all the plates after dinner, but to my surprise, a big new machine was standing in the middle of the kitchen—a dishwasher(洗碗机)!
