The sun is shining and the birds are singing around. On such a 1 morning, a UFO lands in a forest. A boy called Bill is just watching it behind a tree. 

Suddenly, a tall alien* comes out of the UFO. He wears a silver suit and starts picking up 2 . One by one, he takes photos of them with a camera. When he finishes, he puts the flowers into a large box.

The alien thinks he sees something move and asks, "Is anybody there?" Bill doesn't answer. 

The alien 3 the looker and sees the boy behind the trees. "Oh, there is someone. Hello!" the alien says, "It's all right. You can come closer." 

"What are you doing?" Bill asks. 

"I'm 4 flowers," the alien says.

"Flowers? For what?" asks Bill.

"I'm going to take them back to my planet*," says the alien. 

"Aren't there any flowers on 5 ?" asks Bill.

"No, our planet doesn't have flowers for a long time." The alien says 6 , "We have too much litter, we cut down too many trees, 7 now it's like a desert*. There is almost no water any more. All of the flowers and trees that lived on our planet are gone." 

"That's terrible," says Jim "Is anyone doing 8 about it?" 

"Yes ... That's 9 I'm here and we want to find plants from other planets. We use them to learn about water. I believe someday water will come back to our planet." 

"Wow," Bill said. "What's the name of your planet?"

It's called Rozul," the alien says, "Long ago, it was very beautiful. If we work hard, someday Rozul will be 10 again." And then the alien goes back to the UFO. Bill says goodbye as the UFO slowly goes up into the air and flies away.

Last Monday, Miss Li cheerfully asked her students what their weekends were like. A boy said that he had spent a1 weekend —he had his teeth pulled out and they still hurt. 

"Miss Li, why do you always seem to be so2 ? "he asked. 

Hearing the question, Miss Li answered with a smile, "Every morning, you have a choice about how you will treat your whole day. I3 to be cheerful. "

"And today is my lucky day. "she added. "This morning. I rode my e-bike to school as usual.4 , the c-bike didn't work, so I had to go another kilometer down the road. "

"The e-bike is broken and it's your lucky day? "The students were amazed. 

"What do you mean, Miss Li? "one girl asked curiously(好奇地). 

"It broke down a quarter.5 class, so I left it at a right place and walked down the road. You know, it's spring now. The beautiful flowers, green trees and sweet bird songs were greeting me all the way. So I had the chance to 6 them. It took me ten minutes to arrive and I was still able to teach my class on time. "

The students' eyes opened wide, and then they smiled. Miss Li gave a 7 back. At that moment, her story touched them. She was happy that her students had a perfect chance to think about8 in a new way. Thinking in a different way can bring us a new world.

A horse fair was an interesting place. There were young horses and many beautiful horses from the country. But there were also a lot of poor and thin horses.

At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered 23 pounds for me, but the salesman refused. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked away. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said, "I'll give you 24 pounds to buy him."

"Done," said the salesman. "He's an excellent horse and if you want him for cab (出租马车) work, he can help you earn more than you pay for him. The horse is well worth the price."

Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small and old houses.

My owner stopped at a house. The door opened, and a woman, a little girl and a boy came out.

"Is he gentle, Dad?"

"Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a little cat. And you can pat him."

Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt so good! They led me into a comfortable, clean room, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking "I'm going to be very happy here".

My new owner's name was Jerry. His wife was called Polly and they had two children, Harry and Dolly. The next morning they came to see me. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices.

"Let's call him ‘Jack', after the old horse, shall we, Harry?" said Dolly.

"Yes, sounds great!" said Harry.

The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse, was very hard. The noise, the people and the traffic on the streets scared me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped me a lot. Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn't whip (鞭打) me.

He kept me very clean, and gave me as much food as I wanted. But the best thing was that I had Sundays off.

Mrs. Grady welcomed her class back into the warm, cheerful room. The children sat down at their desks, still talking about what they did over winter vacation. It took a few minutes for Mrs. Grady to get them 1 down. 

 "I'm glad to see you all back! Since it's the 2 of the new year, I thought we'd talk about something people do at this time. It's called making resolutions. Does anyone know what that means?" Mrs. Grady asked. 

Liamput up his hand, "You mean like when my mom says she's going to 3 eating chocolate, but she eats it anyway?" Some of the students laughed 4 , Mrs. Grandy put her hand in front of her mouth and made a "shh" sound, she seemed to disagree with this answer, moving her head from side to side. 

"Any other ideas?" she asked, 5 the students who were still laughing. Olivia put up her hand. "It's when you decide to do something 6 for the new year," "That's 7 !" Mrs. Grady said. "In fact, you can make resolutions whenever you want to. The point is that you make a 8 start to make yourselves become better or try new things."

Ashley spoke up. "My dad said his resolution is to keep 9 every day!" "That's a good example of making a healthy resolution," Mrs. Grady said. "But let's think of resolutions for 10 ." Hands went up, and students came up with things like eating more vegetables, drinking more water and so on. Mrs. Grady 11 those were good ones. 

Max put up his hand. "I'm going to learn to play basketball." "That's a great resolution," Mrs. Grady said. "trying new 12 is a fun choice."

Then Emma asked, "What about being nicer?" Mrs. Grady smiled. "Yes, being 13 is a wonderful resolution."

Lots of hands went up. The students were excited to 14 all the different sports and activities they took part in or would be starting soon. 

"Those are all 15 of good resolutions. Now, I want each of you to write about a resolution you could make this year." The children got to work.
