Mr. Black was over fifty years old. He sometimes made some mistakes in his work, and he lost his work. So he had 1 time every day to do something. Then he often met his old friends under a big tree. They had drinks there and talked 2 anything they liked.

One day, some old men were sitting together again and talking about young people in this world. They all agreed that the old people were 3 than young people. Then one of the old 4 said that young men were stronger than old men. 5 of them agreed that this was true, 6 Mr. Black didn't. He said, "No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man." His friends were surprised 7 what he said. "Well," said Mr. Black, "Near my house there is a big stone. When I was a young man, I used 8 to move it, but I couldn't because I was not 9. I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still 10. So, I am as strong as when I was young."

What will you do in thesummer? Here is my plan. I will volunteer (当志愿者)at ARG (Animal Rights Group). ARG takes care of pets without a home.

Sometimes, people move away and they can't take their pets with them. Or, people are too old or sick and they can't take care of their pets. Or sometimes, people are not nice to their pets.

See this puppy. His name is Rocket. His family left him alone in a field. Luckily, ARG found Rocket and took him to the animal centre.

ARG needs a lot of volunteers. I'm going to volunteer four times a week. I will walk the dogs and l will help with the other animals too. I love animals.

Eric is my cousin. He is 1 14-year-old middle school student. He is different from other children in many ways. 2 most kids like to watch cartoons, he never watches them. He thinks cartoons are 3 . He likes to watch educational TV shows. For example, he likes watching documentaries(纪录片). He 4 he can learn about different cultures of different countries from them. He likes to watch news, 5 ." It can tell me what is happening 6 the world," he says. And he tells me that the news is 7 than the game shows. He can't stand the game shows.

Eric doesn't expect vacations. He hopes he can go to school every day, because he has a lot of questions to ask and 8 teachers are always ready to give him the answers.

Eric's favorite place is the library. He is always the first student to get there. He enjoys 9 books about famous people. He wants to be 10 those people one day.

Today is the last day of my spring vacation, so I want 1 a little story about it. I really like to stay at home with my family and 2 I like to hang out with my friends. When I am at home, I like to eat, play games with my sister, read, ride my 3 and kick a ball around. The first night of my vacation, Tony and I didn't go to bed 4 very late and had lots of fun! The next morning we all went outside and rode our bikes. Tony tried to ride his little sister's tricycle(三轮车). He was 5 big!

After a few days, I went to my friend Ivan s house. But before I went there, he came to my house and we went golfing. Guess what? He 6 , while I lost! And then we had hot dogs! 7 fun we had!

Yesterday we went over to 8 friend's house. Her name is Kathleen. She is one of my 9 friends. Oh yeah, my sister's name is Kathryn. Sorry, I didn't tell you that earlier. We 10 there for a few hours and we had a good time.

Friendship is sunshine in my life. 

Everyone was happy on Saturday morning, but not Tom. He sat in front of a high fence(围栏). "Too bad! It's a nice Saturday morning but I must paint the fence. My friends are playing, but I'm sitting here. " He got up slowly and started to paint. Then he had a great idea. 

His friend Ben was walking down the street and he was eating a big red apple. He saw Tom and said, "Tom, I'm going swimming, but you can't come with me. You're working. "

Tom said, "I like it! I can go swimming every day, but I can't paint a fence every day. "

Ben was surprised and he watched Tom. He painted slowly and carefully, and he often smiled. He looked happy. At this time, Ben wanted to paint too. 

"Listen, Tom, let me paint a little, " said Ben. "I want to try. "

 Tom looked at Ben and said, "I'm really sorry, Ben, but Aunt Polly wants me to do it. You know, I'm very good at painting. My brother Sid wants to do it, but he's not good at painting. "

"Oh, Tom, let me try, please!" said Ben. "Here, you can have my apple. "

Tom was happy but he didn't smile. "OK, Ben, you can paint for a short time. "

Then Tom's other friends came by. They watched Tom paint and they all wanted to try. They gave Tom a new kite, a cat, an old knife, a key and some other things. 

Tom's friends painted the big fence, and Tom just sat under the big tree and watched them. He thought, "When something is difficult to get, everyone wants it. "
