    Bobby likes wearing hats. Hats make him feel cool. Hats1the sun out of his eyes. His favorite hat is a baseball hat.

    Last year, Bobby saved money every month to buy the baseball2 . After a few3 , he had enough money for the new hat. Although it4 him some months to buy one, he was excited.

    Bobby bought a new red hat because his favorite baseball team wore  5  hats. When he put on his new hat, he felt he was a part of the team. When Bobby's father saw the new hat, he was kind of6. He didn't think his son could save so much money.

    One day Bobby's father got two7tickets, so he planned to take his son to watch a baseball game. Bobby was very happy to wear his new red hat to the8. He was very excited to watch his favorite team. He thought he was one of them, 9 all the team wore the same red hats.

    His team won the game, and Bobby was very happy. The new hat was good and it10 his favorite team good luck. And it was really good to spend time with Dad.

    School volunteers don't get paid, but sometimes we get special gifts.

One morning, I was selling tickets to our school's evening performance. “I think it's 1that I have to pay to see my own child perform,” a parent said unhappily.

    “The school needs a voluntary donation (捐赠) to help 2 the scenery and costumes (服装),” I explained. "But 3 has to pay for the tickets. Of course you can have them for free."

    "Oh, I 4 pay," she grumbled (嘟囔), "Two adults and a child." She handed me a ten-dollar bill, and then I gave her the change and her tickets. That's the boy waiting behind 5emptied a pocketful of coins onto the table. "6?" I asked.

    "I don't need tickets," the boy said. "I've 7 seen the show. I arrived late last night and couldn't find anyone to buy tickets from, 8 I just walked in. I'm paying now, for last night."

    I pushed the coins back and said, "If the ticket table was 9, you didn't need to pay. Nobody knows the difference." However, the boy 10 to take back the coins. "I know the 11," he said before leaving.

    "Excuse me…" I looked up, 12to see the woman who had bought her tickets moments earlier. She was still there, with change and tickets in hand. "Why don't you 13 the change?" she said. "The scenery must be beautiful, and those costumes couldn't have been 14." She handed me a few dollars and left.

    Little did the boy know that he had given us both a special 15 that has more meaning than money.

 My son Laurie came home at the first lunchtime from the kindergarten* and shouted," Isn't anybody here?" " How was school today?" I asked." All right," he said." Did you learn anything?" his father asked. Laurie answered coldly," I didn't learn nothing." 

" But the teacher spanked* a boy," Laurie said," For being fresh*," he added, with his mouth full." What did he do?" I asked." Who was it?" Laurie thought." It was Charles." he said.

 The next day, as soon as he sat down at lunch," Well, Charles was bad again today. He said." Today Charles hit the teacher The next few days, Laurie still came home with tons of bad stories about Charles.

 During the third and fourth weeks it looked like a change in Charles. Laurie reported kindlessly," Charles was so good today the teacher gave him an apple." " What?" I said, and my husband added unbelievably," You mean Charles?" " Charles, Laurie said." He gave the crayons around and picked up the books and the teacher said he was her helper." zksq620

" Can this be true, about Charles?" I asked my husband." Can something like this happen?" " Wait and see," my husband said cynically*. Within a week, everything was back to normal and Charles was his usual, terrible self.

" The Parent meeting's next week," I told my husband one evening." I'm going to find Charles's mother there." " Ask her what happened to Charles," my husband said." I'd like to know." " I'd like to know myself'I said.

 At the meeting, I looked over the faces of all the other mothers. None of them looked unhappy enough to be the mother of Charles. No one stood up and apologised for the way her son had been acting.

 After the meeting, I found Laurie's teacher." I' ve been wanting to meet you," I said." I'm Laurie's mother." " Oh, yes," she said." We' re all so interested in Laurie." " He certainly likes kindergarten" I said." He talks about it all the time." " He's had some trouble getting used to school," she said." But I think he' ll be all right." " Laurie usually fits in quickly, I said." I suppose his trouble might be from Charles' influence." " Charles? the teacher said." Yes, I said, laughing." You must have your hands full with Charles." " Charles?" she said." We    don't    have    any    Charles    in    kindergarten." 

During the summer holidays, many parents like to send their children to summer camps. In recent years, more and more foreign students take part in summer camps in China to learn about its culture and history. 

In Baoding, a city in Hebei province, a group of high school students and teachers from America joined Chinese students for a 12-day summer camp. During their time in Baoding, the American students visited many local places of interest, including the Ancient Lotus Pond (莲花池), wbere they could admire the beautiful flowers. They also visited famous places of interest near the city, like the Great Wall. 

The camp also offered different kinds of cuitural activities for the foreign students. Theytried traditional calligraphy (书法), played ping-pong, and watched an exciting Peking Opera. Although they found the activities challenging, they enjoyed learning about the rich traditions of Chinese culture. 

During the camp, the students stayed with local host families, it gave them a chance to experience daily life in China and build strong friendships with the Chinese students. "I have made many friends here. We share common interests and hobbies, " said Daniel, one of the American students. 

The summer camp left unforgettable memories for the American students. Their time in China helped to build friendships and a deeper understanding for a culture that was new to them "I will keep in fouch with them in the future. " said Daniel.
