Hello, everyone. I' m Nancy and I like reading. On road trips, I always take some books to keep myself busy. These are four of my favorite books.
    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

    This children's book is interesting, exciting, sad and happy all at the same time and makes you think seriously. It tells the story of a 15-year-old boy with autism (自闭症).The book opens a window into his world, his thoughts, his hopes and his dreams.

   Matilda

    It's now a film and show at the theater, but we can't forget the book. Matilda is about a cute little girl who is very clever and loves to read. She goes to school and meets the very scary Miss Trunchbull but thankfully makes friends with a kind teacher. The book will make you cry one moment and laugh the next.
    Charlotte's Web

    Charlotte's Web tells the story of friendship (友谊) between a pig and a spider (蜘蛛). It' s a simple story but it teaches us about love, fife and death (死亡). If you haven't read it, give it a try.
   The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

    I read the book, watched the film and listened to the tape. The exciting story happens in a place called Namia As you read it, you' ll feel like you're really there. You'll lose yourself in the adventures (冒险经历) of the four children and the characters they meet.

    I'm Marie. I work in a nursing home (养老院) and my job is to look after the old people. Alice is one of them. She's a very nice old woman.

    This year, Alice had a hard time. She went to hospital twice. In November, I finally could get her back to her home.

    Alice hoped that her daughter could come to visit her on Christmas Eve because she wanted to be with her family, like the old days. But her daughter was coming after Christmas, so she was very sad. I also felt sad because she would be alone on the holiday.

    On Christmas Eve, I took her to a candlelight service (烛光礼拜) at a church that night. I didn't take her to my church. Instead, I took her to the church in her old neighborhood. We got there early and I let her sit near the door, so people could see her when they came in. A few minutes later, some of her friends came to the church and they all talked to her and sat with her.

    Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there. She said she loved the gift like this. That night, I thought I got the best gift: the smile on Alice's face.

    Every year hundreds of people try to climb the world's highest mountain or walk through rainforests(雨林). Let's take a look at two of the 21st century's(世纪的) greatest adventurers(冒险家).

    A mountain climber

    Do you know that more than 4，000 people have climbed Mount Everest? Gerlinde is one of them. She is one of the world's greatest climbers and has climbed all the mountains over 8，000 meters in the world. It's difficult to climb mountains in cold weather, but Gerlinde loves it. She started climbing the mountains near her home as a teenager. When she left school, she became a nurse but always went climbing in her free time.

    An Amazon adventurer

    Ed Stafford is the first person to walk along the Amazon River from the mountains of Peru to the mouth of the river in Brazil. His journey took two years and four months. There are many dangerous animals in the rainforest. But Ed was lucky and he was only bitten(咬) by small insects(昆虫). On his trip, Ed had to look for fruit or catch fish each morning. Sometimes food was hard to find and Ed was often tired and hungry. So he used a radio to ask the people of the rainforest for food and help.

"Today I will give you a special test," said the English teacher with a smile on his face.

All the students set up straight and 1 for the test to begin. The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he handed out the test papers, he asked them to 2.

The students felt very strange to see that there was not a question but a black dot(圆点)in the centre of the paper. The teacher said with a smile, "I want you to 3 what you see there." At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' papers and read the answers. All of them wrote about the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said 4, "Here everyone only saw the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper. "All the students listened without saying anything, because they were 5. they couldn't get good marks(分数). Then the teacher said, "Don't worry about 6 marks for this test I just want you to think about our 7. The white paper is like our life and the back dot in the centre of the paper is like the problem(问题)in our life. "

Our life is a 8 from God, with love and hope. But we just see the problems, and never see 9 things in our life. So we should take our 10 off our problems to see each moment life gives us.

I'm Mark，a student in New York. Let me introduce our Friday food to you. In America，Friday nights are pizza nights for most families. That's the last workday before the weekend. Everyone is quite relaxed and wants to enjoy the weekend as early as possible. Parents don't want to spend （花费） too much time cooking on Friday，so they buy pizzas. 

My parents go to Pizza Hut on York Street to buy pizza s every Friday. We kids all love cheese pizzas. Mom and Dad buy two cheese pizzas for us. They don't like cheese pizzas. Both of them love meat. They often buy chicken pizzas for themselves. Sometimes they'd like to try beef or fish for a change. The next week they go back to chicken. 

Every Friday，the kitchen table is full of pizza boxes after dinner. It's our job to clean the table. We need to put all the boxes in the big bin（垃圾桶） in front of the house. We play" rock，paper，scissors（石头剪刀布游戏）"to see who does the job. I never have good luck. It's always me. 

But when the weekend comes，I become very lucky. I am always the winner of the family activities. I really enjoy my family life.
