There are two mice. They are called Bill and Paul. They are good friends. One mouse lives in the country; the other mouse lives in the city. On a sunny day they meet in the street.

Paul: Hi, Bill! Have a look at my house in the country. I'm sure you can enjoy yourself.

Bill: I'd love to. But I hear that the food is not delicious, and your house is not good. Is it so?

Paul: No, that's not true. Go and see!

Then Bill goes to the countryside with Paul.

Bill: Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have better food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.

Paul: Thanks! Maybe you are right. I'll visit your house one day.

____days later Paul goes to Bill's house in the city. The house is big and beautiful. They are sitting in the sitting-room, having a big dinner comfortably. Suddenly, there a great noise.

Bill: Run! Run! The cat is coming!

Paul: Oh, no! It's terrible! Both the house and the food are nice, but I do not like living in the city. I enjoy living in my hole in the field, for it is nice to be poor but happy than to be rich but afraid.

    Hello, I'm Jenny Brown, I'm 12. This is a photo of my family. Who are they? Can you guess? Yes, they're my parents. My mother's name is Jane Brown and my father's name is Jack Brown. My cousin Mary is in the photo, too. She is 8. Her telephone number is 548—3674. My sister Linda is in the middle of the photo. Where(在哪里) am I? I'm the girl in a yellow jacket. My telephone number is 976—8431.

Martin is my youngest son. He likes staying alone and he seldom laughs. As the boy's mother,I was 1 about him. I took him to see the doctors in many 2 , but it didn't work well.Nothing could make him happy but the recycling truck(垃圾回收车) passing by my house. Every afternoon, he raced to the front of the house, 3 for the truck.

When we were late and 4 the truck, Martin would be very disappointed. One day, I stopped the truck and 5 myself.

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Vince."The driver greeted me in a happy voice.

"Your coming is the most 6 moment for my son,"I smiled.

After knowing our story, he said,"Can you give me your phone number? Maybe I can send you a 7 before I arrive."I exchanged my number with him at once.

Then began our 8 with Vince.

Recently, I said to him,"It's my little boy's birthday tomorrow. Could you please do 9 special for him?"

The next day, as I was standing 10 the road with Martin, we saw the green truck running down the street with a loud beep(嘟嘟声). Like a superman in a movie, Vince stopped and walked towards us with a box in his hand.

"Today is your birthday, Martin, and here's a 11 ."

He handed the box to my son. Inside, there was a green model truck like 12 . My son,surprised, looked up happily and 13 him.

After chatting for several minutes, he was about to leave for work. I tried to give him some money for his help. He kept 14 his head and refused my money, saying"Today you,tomorrow me."

I was deeply 15 by these simple words. And I have been ready to help others whenever I can. You will never know when you're going to be the one that needs help.

Betty collected a basket of seashells. She showed them to Amy." Look! They are all1 . These are big, and those are small. Some look like beautiful animals… Well, I can use them to make a birthday present for my Dad! How wonderful!"

Suddenly, Amy saw the sea water rising along the beach. She was 2 and cried," The waves! They will take your toys!"

" Put my seashells onto the bus, Amy!" Betty ra n 3 to get her toys.

Just when Amy was about to get the basket onto the bus, she fell down and the shells4 into pieces.

When Betty 5 , she saw the pieces and cried. Amy tried to tell her what happened, but Betty still looked 6 and didn't talk to Amy. Amy didn't know what to do, so she took them home.

The next morning at school, Amy found Betty on her 7 . She walked over to her desk and took out a frame(框) and a bag of seashells." Betty, I 8 some nice seashell pieces from the broken ones last night. Shall we glue(粘) them to the frame together? We can put a( an) 9 of your family in it. It will be a wonderful present." Amy said. Betty agreed. Together they made a beautiful frame.

" Sorry, I wasn't careful yesterday, Betty." Amy said."I know the shells are 10 to you."

"I should also say‘ sorry' to you. I like them, but you' re my best friend." Betty smiled.
