Emma and Hannah are 13-year-old school girls from Minnesota, USA. They are good at making new things both of them are also good at sales. They are selling charms (小装饰物) made out of bottle caps.

    The girls came up with the idea last summer when they saw charms were popular with kids. They talked with their parents about the idea. Since then they have sold enough charms to buy a bike for Hannah.

    The girls collect bottle caps and then clean them. They find some interesting pictures on the Internet or on paper, and then glue them onto the inside of the caps. There are different kinds of pictures, "Peace signs are popular with girls, and single-letter charms are popular with boys whose names start with those letters," Emma and Hannah said.

    Now, charms can be found everywhere at Dakota Hills Middle School in Eagan. "Students put charms on purses, backpacks, and their lunch boxes," said Emma. Emma and Hannah also have a shop on the Internet. They hope they can sell their charms to more kids. They're thinking about selling their charms at the Eagan Market Festival next summer.

    Their business is not only for getting money. At their Valentine's sale, 20% of the income (收入) went to charity.

    Once upon a time there were two boys who lived in a place and worked for the King One boy fell in love with a girl and wanted to give her a present. He suddenly saw a vase filled with the loveliest flowers.

    He decided to take one flower and give it to the girl He did the same thing the next day, and the next, and the next…until, one day, the King noticed a few flowers were left in the vase. The King was so angry that he gathered everyone in the palace and decided to find out the truth.

    When they all stood before the King, the boy thought he should tell the truth.  However the other boy told him not to tell the truth because the King would be angry with him. When the king came near, the boy shook with fear. But he still decided to confess.

    As soon as he told the truth, a smile appeared on the King's face The King said to the boy, "I couldn't have thought of a better use for my flowers".

    Then the King went to the vase and took two of those wonderful flowers, one for the girl, and the other for the Queen.

①Last week, I had an unforgettable experience. I was reading a book and had just come to the most wonderful part when my little sister Kate ran into my room. She was so noisy that I shouted at her angrily. Then I felt sad.

②"What's up, honey?" my dad came in.

③"I'm in a terrible mood (情绪)!" I said in a low voice. Then my dad suggested that tidying up things and fixing things can be helpful. I knew he was trying to help me. But every time someone suggested a way, I felt even worse!

④Just then, my friend Ollie stopped by with his new soccer ball. After knowing my problem, he advised me to play soccer or go for a walk. Right then, Ollie's soccer ball dropped onto the sidewalk (人行道). So we ran to catch before it went into the street. We ran and ran until it was stopped by a tree. Then I heard many birds singing in the trees happily. They were so sweet. After that, I found my problem was solved (解决) and I felt better.

⑤So, if you also find it hard to take other's advice when you're in a bad mood, maybe you could write down your own list of ideas and look at it when you need to. And it's important to talk about it with one person you trust.

September 27^th is World Tourism Day. Every year, people around the world celebrate it by travelling. Students join tours and share their favourite places. 

Karachi, Pakistan, is one of the hottest cities on Earth. In June 2015, more than 1,000 people died there during a heatwave(持续高温天气)." It was so 1 !" said Shahzad Qureshi, a local person." We need to do something about it!"

 After the heatwave, Qureshi 2 . He set up an organization named Urban Forest to plant native trees in Karachi. Trees help 3 the air by providing shade and releasing moisture(水分) through their leaves. According to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, trees can help lower summer temperatures in cities by 1 to 5℃.

 For its first project, Urban Forest planted 1,300 trees in a local 4 . The group used a special way that helped the trees grow 5 . In just three years, the trees were nine meters tall. Qureshi 6 that one day, the park will become a forest of 50,000 trees.

 Qureshi and his team have now helped cool the air in Karachi by planting 12 forests in the city. The trees also provide a 7 for all kinds of animals and food for the local people. And they create a shady and 8 place for people.

 In 2017, Qureshi helped to plant a forest at Karachi Grammar School." The students were excited about the 9 ," said Muneeza Shaikhali, the school's headteacher." They themselves have been experiencing the high temperatures during the summer months."

 The trees attract birds and colorful butterflies. Students go outside during science class to study the 10 ." It's like a library of native trees for the kids," says Qureshi." It's really a wonderful thing to see."
