It's Sunday today. Mrs. Jackson was cleaning the rooms when her husband came in. "Go and cook lunch, dear," said the man. The woman had a look at the clock on the wall and said, "It's only a quarter to ten. We never have lunch before eleven."

    Mr. Jackson said, "There's a big football game on TV at half past eleven." After lunch, Mr. Jackson was sitting on the sofa. The game was nice and he hoped his team would get the gold medal. His five-year-old daughter Emma came in and put her hand on his face. "Oh, how cold your hands are!" the man said, watching the game. "Go and ask your mummy to warm them. "Why is it so cold, daddy?" the girl asked. "Because it's winter now." He said. " Why is it cold in winter, then?" the girl asked. "I never asked so many questions when I was small!" he answered. "That's just why you can't answer it," said the girl.

    These days, a new kind of restaurant is becoming popular. People who go there can not only enjoy their meals, but also enjoy playing computer games and chatting on the Internet. Wink is the restaurant's name. It is in Los Angeles, and it's about fun and food.

    In Wink, there are no waiters or waitresses around you. The screens have replaced(取代)them. You can order the food you want by touching the screen in front of you and runners will bring it to the tables. You can also play video games with the people at the next table .The screens can show music videos, movies and so on. But mainly they are used to show video games.

    It's an interactive(互动的)restaurant where you will control your meal and your time. The service is fast and the runners know clearly where to go. There will be no waiting for a waiter and no misunderstandings(误解)in the kitchen. Different kinds of food are served at any time of the day. Wink is a place which hosts “room games”, where every table in the restaurant can have a video game competition at the same time.

    The owner of the restaurant hopes that Wink can make it easy for people to be interactive having fun and enjoying a delicious meal.

    Do you know Egypt? Let's go into ancient Egypt. In ancient Egypt. Women did not go out to work. They stayed and worked at home. Many Egyptian men were farmers. Some men were builders or fishermen. Other men worked as artists. Some other important people did not do any farming.

    The weather in Egypt was very hot. Ancient Egyptians did not wear many clothes. Men, women and children often wore simple robes(长袍)made of thin cloth. On their feet they wore light open shoes. People , including women, shaved(剃)hair from their heads to keep cool.

    Children in ancient Egypt grew up to do the same jobs as their parents. Girls stayed at home with their mothers. They learned to look after the family. Boys worked with their fathers. They learned to do the jobs their fathers did. They only went to school to learn to write if they wanted to become a writer.

    Many of the games played by ancient Egyptians are similar to the games we still play today. Children played racing and jumping games. They also played ball games and with wooden toys. Older children played a game like chess.

    The kings of Egypt (the pharaohs)(法老)had enough power to master their country. The people thought that the pharaoh was a god. He owned everything. Everyone had to do what he told them to do. The pharaohs built huge tombs(墓）. When a pharaoh died, he was buried in the tomb. The tombs were often in the shape of pyramids.

    When a pharaoh was buried, he was surrounded by treasure and by treasure and by things to help him in the next world, such as food, clothes, furniture and weapons.
