It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn't take even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked, “where are you going ,sir?

    “To the Red Hotel,” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the big city.

    After a long time, they arrived at the hotel. “Here we are! You should pay me fifteen dollars, please.” the taxi driver said to the young man. “What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway station to this hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip.”

    Andi Davise, 49, regularly crossed the trail through the Phoenix Mountains Preserve with a few other hikers before sunrise. This morning, however, she met nobody and heard only the sounds of animals.

    Some time later, Andi got to the steep slope(陡坡), she climbed up to the top by using her hands. When she finally reached the top, she noticed a dark shape several inches from her left foot. She was frightened and then looked carefully. "It's a dog and it's dead." she said to herself. It took her a few seconds to realize that the dog's eyes were open. A thin, dirty bull dog was looking at her.

    She greeted in a low and soft voice to show she was friendly. The bull dog shook when he heard her voice.

    Andi inched closer and dropped some water into the dog's mouth. He tried to stand up but failed. Something was wrong with his left front leg. Andi pulled out her phone to contact her husband, Jason, but he didn't respond. She knew that if she didn't carry the dog down the mountain, he would die.

She carefully put her arms under the dog's body. He was so weak that he fell into her chest.

    Andi had great trouble going down the steep, rocky mountainside with the 50-pound animal in her arms. Even her arms and back started aching, she didn't give up. The trip up had taken 30 minutes while going back down took twice that.

    Andi's husband received her messages at last. He and their son, Justin, jumped into the car and drove to pick up Andi.

Later that morning, an X-ray showed that the bull dog was badly hurt, he was likely to lose his left leg.

    A few days later, the Davises returned to the animal hospital. "The first thing he did was to give me a kiss, then he went right to my son." Andi said. They named the dog Elijah and brought him home that day.

    Mr. Smith lives in a village, but he works in a big city. He goes to work by train every morning and comes home in the same way.

    This morning, when he is reading his newspaper on the train, a man behind him says "hello" to him and begins to talk to him, "Your life is not interesting, is it? "You take the same  train  every  morning,  and  you  always  sit  in  the  same  seat  and  read  the  same newspaper." "How do you know all that about me?"Mr. Smith says angrily （生气地）.

    "Because I always sit in the same seat behind you." the man answers.

    I'm Wang Kai, a student in Hefei No. 5 Junior High School. At school, I learn many subjects. My favorite subject is science. My science teacher, Ms. Lee, is my fiend Li Ming's mother. She teaches us very well.

I also like math because it's so interesting. I am good at (擅长) it. My friends say I am clever, but I don't think so. I just work very hard.

I like geography, too. I like learning something about people and places of different countries. I also like maps very much.

    I don't like English      the class is very boring. We read a lot, sometimes write, but don't often speak or listen. I hope my English teacher can change his way of teaching English.
