It's Jim's birthday today. He is five years old. He gets many nice birthday presents(礼物) from his family and one of them is a big drum (鼓). “Who gives him the drum?” his father asks. “His grandfather does,” answers Jim's mother. Jim likes his drum very much. He makes a noise(噪音) with it, but his mother doesn't say anything about it. His father is not at home. He is working in a school. So he doesn't hear the noise. But one of the neighbours (邻居) doesn't like the noise at all. So one morning she takes a knife and goes into Jim's room. Jim is making a noise with the drum. She says to him, “Hello, Jim. Do you know there is something nice in your drum? Here's a knife. Open the drum and let's find it.”

    Mr. Hunt was living in a village and he wanted to go to an office one day. He got into his car and drove to the city. He went there without any trouble and stopped in front of the door. He locked his car and started to go into the office, but then he turned around and went back to his car. "I've left my keys in it!" he said to himself. Then he called his wife and said, "Excuse me, but I've locked my keys in my car, please bring your keys to me."

    Mrs. Hunt got into their second car and drove thirty kilometers to her husband. But while Mr. Hunt was waiting, he walked around his car and tried the other door. It was not locked. He locked it quickly before his wife arrived.

    On Christmas Eve (平安夜), Simon usually has a party with his family in his house. They buy a Christmas tree and decorate(装饰)it with flowers, toys, lights and cards. After they finish, it looks very beautiful. Then they have a big Christmas dinner. There is turkey, hot drinks and much other Christmas food on the table. After dinner, they sit under the Christmas tree and sing songs happily. They all have a lot of fun.

For many people，the perfect job would come from their hobbies，but in fact，digital cartoonist（数字漫画家） Lian Zongbo still decided to change his hobby into his career

When Lian was young，he always daydreamed of becoming a cartoonist one day.Then he fell in love with basketball later，and would learn Kobe Bryant's moves all day long.In early 2016（社交平台） like Sina Weibo，but at first few people showed interest in it.

However，things changed in January 2017，after Lian kept on his job for a year.He was invited（邀请），his name gradually became popular in the global basketball community.Today，he has over 210，and makes cartoons for sports teams，brands and media.

So what makes Lian succeed？Lian said it was because he kept going even when life was hard.He is glad that his childhood hobby has now turned into a career.In a word，his success does not come from his luck，but his hard work and his holding on to the dream.

Last month, I met a homeless dog when I had a walk with my mother in the park. 1 dog looked dirty and weak with a thin body. I tried to go to him with some food. He shook (摇) his tail and ran 2 toward me. But when he saw 3 mother, he ran away in fear.

I began to pay attention to homeless pets 4 that. Each year, our city has 250,000 homeless 5 and the number has been increasing. What should we do to solve this serious problem? Firstly, the government should pass a law 6 homeless pets. Secondly, , charities (慈善机构) need to 7 money for more shelters (收容所). For the animals living in shelters, we need to provide food 8 medical care.

The problem of homeless pets will change for the 9 if we can work together to create a good world for them. As for me, I will 10 my mother to let me raise a homeless dog this summer. What are you going to do?
