When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for jobs, they took their music with them. With country music continuing to change, it became popular throughout America.

Have you ever read the book，Dopey and Grumpy（《没头脑和不高兴》）？It tells the story of two kids. One often{#blank#}1{#/blank#}this and that，and the other often gets unhappy. They make many{#blank#}2{#/blank#}，and finally learn a lesson from them Ren Rongrong wrote the story in 1956. Later people made it into a cartoon film and it became{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Children liked talking about it in their free time. 

The idea of Dopey and Grumpy came from Ren Rongrong's{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "I myself was 'Dopey'，often feeling muddle﹣headed（糊里糊涂的），and my kid is 'Grumpy' when I ask him to do something，"said Ren. Then he thought，why not let children show{#blank#}5{#/blank#}real life？They might learn a lot. So Ren began to write the story. He wrote it{#blank#}6{#/blank#}，more than 5，000 words in half an hour!

Ren was"Dopey"in life，{#blank#}7{#/blank#}he was not"Grumpy"for work. He not only wrote stories，but also translated（翻译）children's books. He{#blank#}8{#/blank#}to work on children's literature（文学）. "This job is so fun. I am{#blank#}9{#/blank#}stories with children to make them interested in reading. If I have the chance to live again，I{#blank#}10{#/blank#}want to do it，" Ren said. "I hope Chinese children can read great works，just like other children around the world. "

A day out to Wuzhou

We are going to have a day out to Wuzhou next Saturday. 

 Sometimes, it's great fun to show people that they are important through some acts of kindness. My daughter Cindy, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}eight- year- old girl, was kind of shy in the past, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}one thing made her very active and outgoing. 

I still remember the thing that happened to her clearly. Last month, Cindy felt {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( comfortable), so I took her to see the doctor. While we were waiting in line outside the waiting room, we saw a lady standing just beside {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( we). She looked very worried. I had never seen her before, so I said nothing to her. However, Cindy gave a smile card to the lady, saying"I hope everything goes well to you. " It brought tears to her eyes. The lady hugged Cindy but said nothing. Later, Cindy gave out five more smile{#blank#}5{#/blank#}( card) to people that day. 

 Last Monday, I went shopping in a supermarket. I was in a hurry, so after I bought what I wanted, I went to the cashier(收银台) {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( quick). To my {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( surprised), I couldn't find my wallet(钱包) and I didn't know what {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( do). At that time, a lady came to me and paid the bill {#blank#}9{#/blank#} me. Oh, she was the lady who was outside the waiting room that day. I said" thank you" to her. She said, "I was moved by your daughter's kindness. "

 Everyone in our family {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( enjoy) helping others since then, and smile cards are a good tool to do more. Of course, what we have done has changed my daughter.
