Vienna is a beautiful old city on the River Danube in the center of Europe. It's the capital city of Austria and the center of European classical music. In the 18th century a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.

    In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1866 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.

    Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.

    Charlie and his family don't always live in their house. Sometimes they live in a houseboat. There are 4 rooms in the bottom of the boat. One of them is his parents' bedroom. Another one is his bedroom. Then there is a kitchen and a bathroom. Charlie's bedroom is small, but he likes it very much. It has a small window. He doesn't open it because it's under the water. When the boat is in the water, Charlie can look out of his window and see many fish under the water. Once he saw an old car under the water. He thought it was funny to see the fish swim through the car windows.

    In the school year, Charlie's family keep their boat on the bank (岸) of the lake. In summer Charlie and his family often take their boat out to the middle of the lake. They stay on the lake for a few weeks. Then they go fishing for their food. Charlie's mother grows vegetables in pots on the boat, so they also have vegetables to eat. When it is very hot, they jump into the water and go swimming. Charlie thinks a houseboat is the best place to live in.

Frank doesn't have many friends. He doesn't know why.

One day, Frank tells Bill,"I'd like to have a party this Saturday evening. You sing well. I hope you can come and sing for us."

"OK! I'd love to," said Bill.

" Don't forget to sing You Are My Sunshine. I like it best," says Frank.

Then Frank asks his friend Betty to bring a cake." You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like your cake best!" says Frank.

Frank also invites some other friends to come to his party. He remembers to ask each of them to bring something. He even asks Mary to let him have the party in her house!

Everyone has a good time at the party. The guests(客人) say" Thank you" to Bill for the song, to Betty for the cake, to Mary for the house. But they say" Thanks for the invitation(邀请)" to Frank.※. He doesn't know why.

Colin walked out of the shopping center with his head down. There were many wonderful Mother's Day gifts there, but they were too expensive. He had only saved four{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(dollar).

"Why don't you make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(she) something?" Colin's older sister Whitney asked. "Remember the poem I{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(write) for Mom last year? She loved it so much." Colin knew it was true. The poem hung above the fireplace. But Colin wasn't good{#blank#}4{#/blank#}writing poems.

"It doesn't need{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) a poem," Whitney said. "It could be anything that makes her think of you whenever she sees it. That's why homemade gifts are special." "But I don't know how to make anything Mom would{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(actual) want,"Colin said.

"Yes, you do! You're always drawing those funny little comics (漫画). Why don't you do a comic of Mom? She would love it!"

Colin thought about the idea{#blank#}7{#/blank#}whole way home. He spent the next two days drawing in his room. Finally it{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(finish)!" On the morning of Mother's Day, Colin gave it to mom. He held his breath as his mom looked at it. "This is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) gift you've ever given me, Colin," his mother said tearfully. "I know just where to put it," his dad said with a smile. He hung it next to Whitney's poem above the fireplace. Colin looked up at the comic. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#} a perfect work it is!" Colin said to himself.
