It's Saturday afternoon. It's 1 and warm. There is a little wind. There are many people in the Yongtai District. What are they 2 there? Some 3 are playing chess. Some 4 are walking 5 the garden. Some boys are 6 basketball. Two girls are 7 a storybook. What 8 those old women? They're 9 exercise to keep healthy. Look! Two cats are 10 the tree. There are some birds in the tree. They want to catch the birds!

    Mike always loves ships(轮船). When he was a child, he said, "I'm going to1a naval soldier (海军士兵) when I grow up." But his eyes were not very2, so he could not join the navy(军队).

    Then he said, "I'm going to3a ship and travel around the world." But ships were very expensive, and Mike did not have enough 4.

    Last summer Mike found a swimming5. He didn't have to6much for the lessons, so he began going to the school on weekends. Now he is a good swimmer.

    Just then a friend who 5arrived called out "Happy birthday!"6this, the man turned and asked, "Hey man, it's your birthday today?" "Yes, it is", I said. He 7, smiling and said loudly, "Happy birthday, man!" But I could 8imagine what happened next. The man reached into his pocket, pulled out a dollar bill and said "Here man, take this."

    Though I was 9his action, I didn't want to accept money from a homeless man. I said, "Thanks. That's really 10of you, but that's OK." The man looked directly into my eyes and said, "Please take this." I still hesitated(犹豫)to accept this11, but I heard a voice within me shouting, "TAKE THE MONEY!" I hesitantly reached out and said, "Thank you". Excitedly, he caught my 12, gave me the dollar and said, "No, thank you brother!"
