    What do you know about the sea? Some people have seen it, but others haven't. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?

    Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. If you swim in the sea, you know that the water is salty. Rivers take salt from the land into the sea. Some places of the sea are more salty than other places. Do you know the Dead Sea? Fish can't live in it!

    One day, Alice found(找到) a book in the study. It was about clowns(小丑). She loved the story and she told her mum all about it. "Mum, I want to be a clown now," Alice said. "Well, let's make a clown!" Mum said and pointed to a big box. Inside the box, there were lots of old clothes and paints.

    First, Alice painted her face white. Then she painted her mouth yellow. Next, she put on her red nose. After putting on a red nose, Mum gave Alice a silly wig(假发), a polka dot(带原点的) jacket and large trousers(长裤). She also gave Alice big black shoes. "Now go and look in a big mirror(镜子), Alice," Mum said. Alice looked at her face and clothes. She laughed and said, "I am a clown now."

    Every day, Mr. Smith sees a man near his home. The man has a pair of sunglasses (太阳镜) and sits on the ground. In front of the man, there is a hat with some money (钱) in it. Beside the man, there is a dog. Around the dog's neck, there is a board (牌子). It says "I'm blind". Mr. Smith gives the man some money every afternoon on his way home. One day, Mr. Smith walks by the man, but he does not give him any money.

    "Why don't you give me money today?" the man asks. Mr. Smith is very surprised (惊讶的).

    "Aren't you a blind man?" he asks.

    "No, I'm not. But my dog is blind (瞎的)." the man says.

    In December 2010, Mary got a surprising gift. A young man Ray came to visit her with a shirt. It was a shirt with a picture of Spiderman.

    Six years ago, Mary's son Tom was ill in hospital. Ray was in hospital, too. The two children liked to talk about Spiderman. But later, the two boys were in different hospitals. In November 2010, Ray saw the shirt with Spiderman on it in a shop and bought it. He wanted to give it to Tom.

    But Ray didn't know that Tom died two years ago. Ray cried when he heard it. But Mary thought his visit was a great gift for her.
