The following are the messages from Mike's moments (朋友圈) on WeChat during the trip to Beijing.

    Today is July 5, my birthday, the first day of our trip. It's 2:30 p. m. I'm riding a bike with my parents and my little brother Bob in Beihai Park. We are singing, listening to birds, and having a lot of fun.

    Today is July 6. It's the second day of our trip. We plan to visit the Great Wall. There area lot of people along the way. I feel a little tired, but I'm happy! While we are climbing the mountain, I talk about my future (将来的) job with my parents. What do I want to be? Ha! Maybe a teacher or a singer.

    My parents are visiting their old friend, a famous writer, at her place. I am having lunch with Bob and watching a show in Deyunshe. The food isn't so delicious but the show ... Well, it's so humorous and interesting. I really like it.

    It is the fourth day of our trip. We're going back home at 6:00 p. m. It's 10:00 a m. now. We are visiting the famous Chocolate Factory and making chocolate by ourselves happily. We are really having a great time here! Sweet Kiwi! I love you!

Fred is a boy of 8 years old. Today after breakfast, he 1 his home and goes to a music club with his sister Jane. And Jane helps to 2 a box. But the box falls (掉落) when Jane talks to Fred happily. The thing in 3 comes out.

Jane is 4 . She knows that it's Fred's favorite thing — a guitar, 5 she says, "I'm really sorry, Fred."

But Fred does not say anything (任何事情) to her.

"Fred?" she says, "Why don't you speak to 6 ?" 

Fred says, "I 7 to count (数数) to ten."

"Count to ten?" says Jane, "Why do you want to count to ten?"

"Oh," says Fred, "Dad says I can count to ten when I'm not 8 . I usually get angry (生气的) with you. I 9 that's not right. So I want to be 10 to you this time."

Then Fred puts (放) the guitar into the box.

"Oh, how great you are, Fred! Sorry and thank you," Jane says.

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole（洞）in a wall. He thought he was a smart and careful animal. 

One day, the young mouse woke up（唤醒）from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a nice 1 came to him. " Cheese" the mouse said happily to himself, "I'll go and 2 it now and have it for breakfast."

But then he remembered his parents 3 . His parents were very wise mice and often said to 4 son, "Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese."

So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet " Miaow" and he knew the cat was there. So he stayed in the hole and said to himself, "I'm happy I 5 my parents` advice and learned to wait."

The next day, he 6 again. At the same time, he put his nose out of the hole slowly, and the same smell came again. This time he could see the cheese! It was only a few centimeters away, 7 be sat still and waited in his hole It's 8 that he did not hear any cat noises. Instead he heard a very quiet "Woof, woof ", a sound just like from a dog. 

"Oh, it's a dog!" he thought, "If the dog is there, the cat won't be there. I expect the dog has chased（追赶）the cat away. So I am 9 ." The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him later. When the cat finished her meal," she said to herself, "I'm glad I listened to my parents and leaned a second 10 . Sometimes, it can really make a difference."

I was at the grocery（食品杂货） shop picking up last-minute thing for dinner. When I was about to leave, I 1 noticed from the corner of my eye some flowers. They were the most 2 flowers I had ever seen. They were, as I later learned, peonies（牡丹）.

I was going to buy myself flowers that I'd never done this before. On the way home, I wondered 3 I had never really been attracted （吸引） by any flowers before.

Growing up in England, my immigrant（移民） family never regarded flowers as 4 since being alive was the most important to us. Our small garden was filled with 5 , as Mom and Dad often said, "These will keep us alive if we can't get them from the shop, 6 flowers won't."

Though Mum was badly ill, she would also make flatbread. The 7 of the bread really comforted us. The taste of the flatbread 8 the pressure of our life. All these let us live in England 9 .

When Mother's Day came, Mom would say, "Why not avoid 10 money on flowers? They'll just die. Buy shoes or coats instead." So, we kids made food for her at home.

My mother passed away years ago after a long 11 . I was trapped in great pain. If she were still alive today, she'd probably 12 her head when she saw me buying flowers. She wouldn't come back. But still, I wish I'd had the chance to 13 her this beautiful flower and buy it for her on Mother's Day.

"Look, Mom," I raised my voice. "I bought myself a peony. Thank you 14 giving up your home and life to come to this country. Because of that, I could have chances that 15 never had, and so I could give myself these unnecessary but beautiful flowers."
