It started as a game. Wendy and Peter were in River Park. They watched the boats in the river and visited the zoo. They played on the slides and swings. They watched the merry-go-round, but they did not have money for a ride. They ate their sandwiches at a picnic table. Suddenly Wendy jumped up.

    "I know what to do." she said. "Look at all that junk under the tables. Let's pick it up."

    So they picked up paper and empty boxes and cans. They put them in the green cans marked "Litter". Peter's dog Stoopy picked up some paper and ran away with it. Peter called him back and took it from him. Then they taught Stoopy to carry trash for them. They put it in the cans. They worked until there was no trash left on the picnic grounds.

    The next day their friends Mario and Andy came to the park with them. They helped to tidy the picnic grounds again. Then they ran all over the park looking for litter. They tried to see who could find the most. After that, it was a game they played every time they came to the park.

    One day, a man came with a camera. He watched what they were doing. He asked to take a picture for them. Then he took them all for a free ride on the merry-go-round, even Stoopy. The next day their picture was in the newspaper. It said, "Five Litter Lifters at River Park". After that all their friends wanted to be litter lifters. It was the beginning of a club that was a model for others to follow.

    William Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers in English literature. His plays can be divided into three categories: histories, tragedies (悲剧) and comedies. Shakespeare wrote eighteen comedies, although two were lost. These comedies usually have happy endings and a light-hearted tone and style that are quite different from his tragedies.

    All of Shakespeare's comedies have five acts and the most important or exciting point always takes place in the third act. The hero does not appear until after other characters have talked about him. Shakespeare had some themes that he usually wrote about: the fight between good and bad, love's great effect on people, and the difference between first appearance and a person's true personality or face. Shakespeare also wrote his play in a certain style. For example, Shakespeare used words in such a clever and humorous way that they had more than one meaning. Some of the characters changed their appearances so that people didn't know who they were.

    Even though the tone is lighter in these plays. Comedies in Shakespeare's day were quite different from modern-day comedies because their purpose was not to make people laugh. Shakespeare's comedies are very emotional (有感染力的) and often include serious topics to think about.

 Welcome to my new school! It is beautiful with many buildings in it. My classroom is not big but special. It is d{#blank#}1{#/blank#} from other classrooms. There are some desks but no chairs in it. So we can only s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} on some colourful big balls when having lessons. In f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the classroom building is the science building. It's my favourite place because I can have science lessons there. Next to the science building is a bigl{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. There are many kinds of books in it. In the center of the school is a big playground. Students o{#blank#}5{#/blank#} play basketball there after school. I really love my school!

A long time ago, there lived a king. Every year, he would spend a lot of money building his palace. One day, the king had a new 1 and he said to his men, "This year, I will build the best2 in the world. It should be praised(称赞)within my kingdom, and by the people of neighboring states. "

After 3 his palace, the king invited noblemen(贵族)from his country, as well as from neighboring states to come. And he asked them to give their 4 about the palace. 

"Unbelievable!It is the most beautiful palace. "the noblemen said. But one man who looked young stood in the corner. He 5 said anything. 

The king wanted to know why the man was6 when someone else was praising his palace. He walked up to the man and asked, "Hello, young man. You keep silent. Is there anything wrong with my palace?" The man smiled and replied in a calm voice, "Your Majesty! Your palace is strong and will last hundreds of years or even7 , It is beautiful but not perfect. Many of your people are still living a 8 life, though your palace looks wonderful.    9 that, I choose to keep silent. "

The king listened to the young man's opinion quietly. Then he10 the wise man for his honest words and said he would never try to rebuild his palace again. Instead, he used the money to help the people in need.
