    Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored and said to her advisor (顾问):

    "All the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown(王冠)."

    Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, "What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?"

    The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart, "Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?"

    The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling (闪烁)at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she under- stood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen's crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

    She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

My name is Emma, My family like1 . My favourite part is when we go on a road2 by car. I like to wave at the people in the other3 . I like to look at the landscape. 

Last week my family went on a road trip to a big farm. We4 through the desert. It was hot,5  the landscape was beautiful. The mountains were red. I6 a horse by myself. It was a friendly7 . At night we ate dinner around a campfire. That was very fun. 

We're going to take a trip to the8 next Saturday. I like to pick up shells(贝壳)there, so I'm very9 .

The beach is far from our home. It will be a10 drive. We will stop for lunch at a restaurant. l like reading. Maybe I will11 a book in the car. My dad knows a lot of12 . Maybe he will tell a funny story. 

l don't know13 the road trip will be like, but I do14 it will be fun. Like my parents15 say, "Getting there is half the fun."

At 15:40 on December 9th, 2021, the "space teacher", Wang Yaping, made some experiments in the Tianhe Core Module of the Chinese Space Station.

"Welcome to the ‘Tiangong Classroom!' " said Wang Yaping.

Taking a "spacewalk" is difficult. Ye Guangfu was working hard to walk, but his body floated! Then he tried to turn around but he couldn't. "In space, astronauts are in a weightless environment. So we need to use nearby devices (装置) to move," he said.

The paper flower "blooms". In the "Tiangong Classroom", Wang Yaping made a beautiful water film (水膜). Then she took out a paper flower and placed it on the film of water. The pink flower slowly "bloomed"! "I hope your dreams can bloom in the huge universe!" she said.

"Space Happy Ball" rings fun. Wang Yaping asked the children on the ground to put their ping pong ball in the water. The density (密度) of the ball was less than that of the water, so it floated up. In space, when she put the ping pong ball into the water, it did not float up to the surface. It stopped in the center of the water! "The buoyancy (浮力) disappears in a weightless environment in space so the ping pong ball cannot float (漂浮)." Ms. Wang explained.

"Please take my penny," said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, "Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐) !"

But Maggie paid no attention. "Please take it," she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. "Thank you, little miss," he said, "It is kindly meant."

After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock!

He licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gently to pull her coat. "Rover wishes me to come away, I see," she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide (潮水) had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth.

What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned (淹死) without good wise Rover.

Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it.

The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw it all — Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him.

"Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!" he cried, and he hurried to his sons ' home.

"Quick, boys, quick!" he said. "Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay (海湾). There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned." The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother's arms.

"It was the penny that did it, madam," he said to Mrs. Weston later. "I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand — just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl. ' And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that."

Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written — "Will Maggie help Rover? — his master is dead."
