Doar Nista：

Moving is hard work! Mother and I 1to pack things just eight weeks before we left.

2 new house is in a town called St. Cloud, Minnesota. It's very quiet. The weather in July is warm and sunny, and there are no 3 seasons. My sister Sunil and I can play together, but we 4have any friends here. It isn't easy for us 5neighbours.

Dad started his new job 6 a doctor at the hospital here. He's happy working here,7 I am not happy. I just feel lonely.

Winter is in the air. The weather is getting colder and colder. It snowed 30 centimeters last night. Today, Sunil and I threw snowball with Emily. Emily is my neighbour and my classmate. We went 8 last week on a lake. Someone made 9 hole in the ice and was fishing. It was so cold.

Tomorrow Emily and I 10 one of my favourite movies. I miss you so much. Please write soon.

Tenzing Norgay was a Sherpa（夏尔巴人）. From his village，he could see a tall mountain. Hedreamed of1to the very top.

"I could see the whole world from the2,"he said to his mother.

"The mountain is called Chomolungma," she toldhim. "It is so3that even the birds cannot flyover."

"But maybe I could climb it one day," Tenzingthought.

One day a group of men from America came.

"We want to climb Mount Chomolungma. We want Sherpas tohelp us," they said.

"I'll go with you," said Tenzing.

"You are too4to take care of yourself," Tening'smother stopped him. "Again and again, men have tried to reach the top ofChomolungma. Many of them5in the snow and never came back."

TEN YEARS passed! Another group from6came. Tenzing said to his mother."I know I can climb the mountain now."

"You are mad," said his mother,"Iwon't let you go!" This time Tenzing followed his heart and ran away fromhome. He cut his long hair and arrived at the climbers' camp.

"You look strong," the climbers said. "Pleaseshow us the way to the mountain and be our7".

The men gave Tenzing special clothes they brought fromLondon to wear. He ate strange food out of tin cans（罐头）, buthe was8.

Tenzing was going to Chomolungma with the climbers. After theywalked for 100 miles，most of them gave up and returned totheir camp.However, Tenzing and the rest climbed up and up through the snow and9several times on the way. At last，after a lot of tries，they reached the top of Chomolungma10.

A Juice Carton's Diary

January 16

I'm sitting on a shelf in a big store！I am an orange juice carton（硬纸盒）！I'm made of hard paper. This morning，something great happened. A little girl looked at my shelf for a long time，and then she chose me！She's taking me to a picnic by the lake so I hope she'll drink me.

January 17

I'm in a lake. The little girl drank the juice, but left me in front of the lake. The wind blew me into the water. I don't like it here.

January 18

I saw a man taking rubbish out of the lake with a net. He saw my bright orange colour，and he saved me. He caught me and a plastic （塑料的）bottle in his net. Now，we're in the boat，and we aren't waste anymore. We're happy.

January 19

I'm at the recycling factory. I feel a little afraid here because there are large machines that make loud noises. My plastic bottle friend is across from me. I think this is a good place.

January 20

I'm sitting on a shelf in a stationery store!

Everything here is made of paper. Yes, they recycled me into a notebook. I'm very happy and excited, and I really want to see the recycling factory again. Maybe next I'll be a comic book!

What time is it? That's a very good question! From morning to night, clocks help us to plan our day. They tell us when things begin and when they end.

Before clock, people tell time by watching the sun move across the sky. They started work when the sun came up in the east. At noon, when the sun was very high, they ate and rested. When the sun disappeared in the west, they went to bed.

Today, we know that the sun doesn't move around the Earth. As the Earth turns, the sun seems to be moving across the sky. It takes the Earth a day to make one complete turn.

A day is divided into hours, minutes and seconds. There are 24 hours in a day. There are 60 minutes in an hour. How many minutes are there in a day? 24*60=1, 440. There are 1,440 minutes in a day.

We measure time by other movements, too. The Earth travels around the sun. It takes the Earth a year to go around the sun once. One year is 12 months, or just over 52 weeks. To be very accurate（准确的）, it takes the Earth 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds to go around the sun.

We divide the Earth into 24 time zones. Each time zone is one hour apart from the next time zone. For example, when it is 10：00 a.m.in Beijing, it is 9：00 p.m. in New York.

Because of the clocks and calendars（日历）, we can measure time very easily. However, it is the movement of the Earth that really allows us to measure time.

How Music Makes Us Feel

People all around the world enjoy music. Some music is fast, and some music is slow. Some music is high and some music is low.

Slow music can make us feel sleepy, and fast music can make us feel excited. For example, Pedro listens to slow music at night so he can fall asleep. Also, the same music can make one person feel sad and another person feel happy.

Music can help us imagine（想象）things, like animals. When it's low and slow，we can imagine an animal that is in danger. . Look at it a week later. Does it help you to remember the music？

A. When the music is fast, we can imagine an animal running

B. Amanda listens to fast music in the morning so she can wake up

C. When we listen to music, we feel different things

D. Next time you listen to music, draw a picture of what you imagine

E. There are no right feelings or wrong feeling about music
