Two young trees are standing at the top of a hill．Their names are Tim and Alan．One day，it's sunny and warm．Some birds are singing in the trees．The wind blows，and the trees are talking．“What do you want to be when you grow up?”asks Tim．“I'm not sure．I think I want to be a chair or a desk，”answers Alan，“Maybe I want to be a toy box．I like children．”“What do you want to be when you grow up?”asks Alan．“Me?”says Tim，“I just want to be a tree．I want to be a home for birds．I want to have many apples．And when it's sunny and hot，people and animals can stand under me．”

    Good morning, boys and girls. Shanghai is a big city. Nanjing Road is in the centre of Shanghai. It is very busy. Every day many people go to Nanjing Road. They like visiting the shops. They can buy clothes, clocks and watches, food and many other things there. They can also eat in the restaurants or stay in the hotels there.

    Many people visit Nanjing Road in the evening. The lights are bright and beautiful then.

    Shanghai is very nice. I live in Shanghai. I like Shanghai very much.

    Bill Gates has a nice house on a hill by Lake Washington. Inside the house there are seven bedrooms, twenty four bathrooms, six kitchens and six fireplaces. It even has a theatre, a library, an exercise room and a swimming pool. You can say the house is very big. However, it doesn't look so big, because a large part of it is in the hills.

    The house is famous for many reasons. One is its large size, and another is its amazing electronic systems(电子系统).Before a visitor goes into the house, he or she gets a chip(芯片）at the gate. The chip sends information about the visitor to the electronic systems in the house. When the visitor goes into the house, lights are turned on automatically（自动地）.When the visitor goes from one room to another, he or she can hear music.

    Bill Gates began to build his house in 1990. It took him about 7 years to build it.

    I am Peter Brown. I have two good friends. They are Joe and Tim. Joe is fat and strong. He likes candy and juice. He doesn't like ice cream. He likes swimming too. Tim is thin and tall. He likes running and swimming. He likes vegetables and fruits very much.
