A Fun Way to Start the Day

    Mrs.Bames turned off the bright camera light on the news desk.Charlie，a fifth-grade news announeer（播音员），sat at the desk.“Our show seems to be missing something，”he said. “It seems like we should end our 1 on a cheerful note.We should give the students 2 to enjoy.Since the show is school wide，we could help everyone begin the day in a positive way.”

    “What do you mean，Charlie？Don't you think the students like watching our news show and 3about the important events of the day？”Mrs.Barnes said jokingly.“Sure，”Charlie answered. “I'm just looking for a little something more to add to our program，”he said.

    Charlie was what his mother called an “experimenter”.He was，4trying to find a new way of doing something，and today Charlie wanted to think of how to really 5 up the school with the morning news.

    As Charlie walked, he hummed（哼唱）the school song.His friend Jenny met him in the hallway and，without a word，she too began humming.By the time they reached the classroom door，another girl，Lily，had 6 them and started singing their happy song.

    At first， Mrs.Barnes watched the class with a confused expression，and then with a shine in her eyes，she smiled. Her class loved to sing，and she liked sharing this 7 with them.

    Just at that moment，Charlie realized that music was the8 he had been looking for.

    That's it！Charlie thought.We can end the morning news by singing our school song.

    “So what do you think？”Charlie asked heartedly.Mrs.Barnes was happy to see Charlie 9about his volunteer work as the school news announcer. “Let's give it a try！”Mrs.Barnes replied. “I have a feeling that it will be a 10 way to end our morning news show and a fun way to start the day！”

    A Seeing Eye dog is very special. One1thing about having a Seeing Eye dog is that you can go anywhere in the city safely.

    I live in Barcelona, Spain. It's a big2, and there are many cars, but my dog Terra goes everywhere3me and doesn't let me get hit by a car. Terra also guides me to walk safely in the subway.

    I have a baby boy, so another good thing is that my dog watches out for4 , too. I can put the baby in his stroller, and Terra makes sure we are5okay. I have had Terra for ten years, and I'm happy to have it.

A man was walking in a forest. He was holding an axe (斧子) in his hand. A little tree stopped him and said, "Please use your axe to 1 those tall trees, my friend. Because of them, the sunlight cannot fall on me, and I have no room at all to spread myself. Without them, I'll be the tallest tree in the forest."

The man 2 to help the little tree. He used his 3 to cut down the trees. Then the little tree had 4 room. The little tree felt happy and said 5 to the man. When the Sun came out, the little tree lost water and it became very 6 . Later when a storm came, the little tree 7 all its leaves and branches. "Oh, poor little tree!" a bird said 8 "You shouldn't ask the man to cut down the trees. The tall trees protected you so that you didn't worry about heat or wind or rain. Time went by and you would 9 . When you get tall and 10 , you can have enough strength to fight against the Sun and the storms. So I don't think you should do that." After hearing the words of the bird, the little tree felt regretful (后悔的).

I'm a teacup at an antique (古董) store. With the pretty look and strong body, I'm 1 . Many people want to buy me. 

2 , I haven't always been a teacup. Once I was just a piece of 3 . A man took me and rolled (翻滚) me over and over. I said, "Don't do that. I dislike it!"

But he only said with a smile, "Not yet!" Then, WHAM! I was put on a machine and turned around and around. " 4 it! I'm feeling sick," I shouted. But the man still said, "Not yet."

Later the man put me in the oven. I never felt such 5 . When I thought I couldn't 6 it another minute, the door opened. The man carefully took me out and put me on a shelf (架子), and I 7 to cool. Oh, that felt so good! After I cooled, he started brushing me. The paint smelled so terrible that I asked him to give up. He only shook his head and said, "Not yet!" An hour later he handed me a 8 and said, "Look at yourself." I did that, and I was greatly 9 . "That's not me! It's so beautiful!" I shouted. 

"The process was 10 , but if I hadn't done that, you would never meet the best of you. Now you're not common clay, but a great product," the man said.

Today is Sunday but Jack is going to school. He goes to tennis school. The tennis lessons will start1 ten o'clock. Jack is very 2 because his tennis teacher，Ms Brown，is a great teacher. She wants 3 Jack to be stronger and play better. 

Ms Brown tells Jack if he has4 good rest，eats healthy food and practises hard every day，he can 5 very strong and good at6 tennis. Jack believes her. He decides to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and go to bed 7 every night. He also exercises a lot. 

In Jack's town，there isn't a public（公共的） place to play tennis8 Jack can't play tennis every day. Jack and his friend Emily often go 9 in the park after school. 

Next month，Emily will take tennis lessons 10 Jack. Jack is glad to hear about this ﹣ they can go to tennis school together!
