Two young trees are standing at the top of a hill．Their names are Tim and Alan．One day，it's sunny and warm．Some birds are singing in the trees．The wind blows，and the trees are talking．“What do you want to be when you grow up?”asks Tim．“I'm not sure．I think I want to be a chair or a desk，”answers Alan，“Maybe I want to be a toy box．I like children．”“What do you want to be when you grow up?”asks Alan．“Me?”says Tim，“I just want to be a tree．I want to be a home for birds．I want to have many apples．And when it's sunny and hot，people and animals can stand under me．”

    Helen Keller lived in the USA. When she was a baby, she got very sick. After she was better, she couldn't and hear well. A few years later, things got worse. There was no way for Helen to speak to other people. She heard nothing. She saw nothing. She didn't understand anything.

    One day a teacher came to live with Helen and her family. The teacher helped Helen learn about words. Helen was such a bright girl that she could spell her first word soon. When she was older, she went to college.

    Helen became very famous later. She traveled around the world and helped many blind and deaf people. The world remembers her today as a brave and wonderful person. She was blind and deaf, but she found a way to see and hear.

    It was fine today. Lily and I visited the Science Museum. It is far away from our homes, so we met (meet过去式) at my house and went there by underground together.

    We arrived at the museum at 9 o'clock. At the museum, we saw a lot of interesting things. We touched a wall, and it became a window. The robots there were amazing too!

    We met some classmates and friends there. We learnt a lot about science.

    We left (leave过去式) the museum at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

    We enjoyed ourselves very much.

    "Oh, my son!" a lady cried. Her baby fell into the river. The water carried him away quickly. A man came and said, "Can you give me the clothes or shoes of your son?

    The lady gave him a pair of shoes. The man turned to his dog. He first pointed to the shoes, and then to where the child had sunk(下沉).

    The dog jumped into the river. Soon people saw him swim back with something in his mouth. When people pulled the child and the dog from the water, everyone was happy. The lady ran to her son. The child was alive! "Oh, sir. Thanks for saving my baby. I'd love to give you anything to buy the dog!"

    It seemed that the dog knew they were talking about him. He lay down beside his owner's feet and seemed to say, "Nothing shall part(分开)."
