Mr Jones was very angry with his wife．And Mrs Jones was very angry with her husband．For a few days，they didn't speak to each other．One evening，Mr Jones was very tired when he came back from work，so he went to bed soon after he had dinner．Mrs Jones washed the dishes and did some sewing．When she went to bed much later than her husband，she found a piece of paper on the small table near her bed．On it was the words：“Mother，wake me rup at 7 a．m．tomorrow．  一Father．”The next morning，  Mr Jones found a piece of paper on the table，too．On it was the words：“Father，wake up．It is 7 a．m．一Mother．”

    The world is changing very fast. In the past，my grandparents lived in a small house. It was very old. They didn't have enough food or clothes. There was a small tree beside the house. There weren't any televisions or telephones. Now they live in a big and beautiful house. They've got lots of food and clothes. They watch TV every day. They can use the computer，too. They are very happy now.

    Everyone wants to have good manners, but it is not so easy. We must care about everything in life. There is something we should know.

    First, say "hello" to people you meet, not only to teachers, but also to your friends and your classmates, and even your neighbors. Second, help others as much as you can. Then everybody will like you. Third, don't laugh at others. That will be impolite and hurt them. Fourth, never ask others about their personal information. If others have something that they cannot say, they will be very embarrassed.

    Good manners make things easier. They can help people to get on well with each other. When you are nice to people, they will be nice to you.

Dear Sarah,

    Yesterday we got up very early. We went to the Great Wall by bus. It was very far. It was about three hours by bus. The guide told us the food there was very expensive, so we bought some cakes, juice and apples. We put them in one backpack. Daming took the backpack and I took the camera, because he said he was older and stronger than me.

    When we got to the Great Wall, we saw many people at the entrance(入口). We had to stand in line and waited. It was our turn at last. We began to climb. At first I counted the steps, but soon I couldn't remember the number. It was too high. We stopped to have a rest for several times. At last we got to the top of the Great Wall. We were so excited! We've become real men! We were very happy yesterday!

    An art teacher asks his students to draw pictures. They can draw anything (无论什么东西) they want.

    After a while, a boy hands in(上交) his picture. The teacher looks at it but sees nothing(没有什么东西) on the paper.

    "What do you draw?" the teacher asks.

    "A cow eats grass." the boy answers.

    "But where is the grass?" the teacher asks again.

    "The cow has eaten it up." answers the boy.

    "Where is the cow?"

    "When it eats up the grass, it feels thirsty and goes to drink water."
