Mr．Baker worked in a small town．Two weeks ago his friends helped him to find work in New York．So he and his wife were going to a building in the big city．Mr．Baker wanted to live in a room on the first floor and he could go for a walk by the beautiful garden after supper．But his wife hoped to live on the second floor．

　　“There is enough sunlight, I think．And we can watch the flowers in the garden by the windows,” said the woman．

　　Mr．Baker thought she was right and agreed with her．

　　It was Saturday．All their friends came to help them．They were tired but Mrs．Baker got nice food ready for them already．They held a party．They ate and drank a lot．Then they sang and danced．It lasted a long time．

　　Suddenly the telephone rang．Mrs．Baker went to answer it．Then she said to her husband proudly(自豪地)，“Luckily you’ve listened to me!The men downstairs complained(抱怨)on the telephone that the noise we are making makes them not fall asleep(入睡)．

　　It was Sunday and Tom was at home．After breakfast, he went out into the garden and played quietly by himself．There were no kids around and he was used to playing alone quietly．He played with Bobby, a dog．He climbed up and down the trees．Sometimes a bird would come down to rest on the top of the doghouse．Then Tom would have fun by throwing a stone or something at it．Though he never made it, he did like doing this kind of things．

　　Now Tom had been in the garden for half an hour．Suddenly, a crack(破裂聲)was heard and the little boy began crying．“What’s the matter, Tom?” his mother looked through the kitchen window．Tom ran into the kitchen “Mum” he cried “I broke Bobby’s plate．I didn’t know it was so fragile(易碎的)”．

　　His mother put her arms round him and said “Don’t feel too bad, Tom．We have other plates for Boddy．But how did you break that one?”

　　“I threw this at a bird but missed and it went straight to the plate．” In Tom’s hand was his father’s gold pocket watch．

　　In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience(經(jīng)歷)four seasons in one day．In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring．An hour later, black clouds come and then it rains hard．The weather gets a little cold．In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny．The sun will begin to shine and it will be summer at this time of a day．

　　In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer．So in winter they can swim sometimes and in summer they should take warm clothes．

　　When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella(傘)or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not langh at them．If you don’t take an umbrella, or a raincoat, you will regret(后悔)later in the day．

　　In America, when people say“man's best friend”, they don't mean another person．Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal－a dog! These words show the friendship(友誼)between people and animals．Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives．Some people think of their pets as their children．Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!

　　Animals can help people, too．Dogs can be taught to be the“eyes”for a blind person(盲人)or“ears”for a deaf(耳聾)person．Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too．Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for“visits”．

　　Americans hold“Be Kind to Animals Week”in the first week of May．Pet shows are held during the week．Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this．How?First think about how animals make your life richer．If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it．Remember to give it delicious food．

　　If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you．For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it．If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up．As people, we must protect(保護(hù))animals who can't speak for themselves．

　　The man behind came near．Charlie could hear the man jump over the grass．Thoughts of thieves and robbers filled his mind．Charlie stood up and faced the man．"What do you want?Why are you coming after me?" He asked．

　　"I say," the stranger asked, "do you always go home like this, or are you taking some special exercise tonight?I want to go to Mr．Green's and don't know the way．The station master told me to follow you as you live next door．Excuse me for asking, but is there much farther to go before we get there?"

　　People have strange ideas about food．In the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes．They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty．But they thought the vegetable was poisonous．They called tomatoes“poison apples．”

　　President(總統(tǒng))Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat．He was a learned man．He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes．He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden．The President taught his cook a way, for a cream of tomato soup(湯)．This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s next dinner party．The guests(客人)thought the soup tasted really good．They never thought their President would sever his dinner guests poison apples．Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact．

A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in a year．You may fail in the exam if you are lazy(懶惰)for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam．If you are taking an English exam, do not only learn rules of grammar．Try to read stories in English．Speak in English whenever you can．A few days before the exam you should go to bed early．Do not stay up late studying．Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper, try to understand the exact(確切的)meaning of each question．When you have at least finished your exam, read over your answers．Correct(改正)the mistakes if there are any, and be sure that you have not missed anything out．

　　About half an hour later, the conductor began to see the tickets．He came to the old man and said, “Will you please show me your ticket?” The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find it．He was very worried．“I can’t find my ticket．I really bought a ticket before I got on the train．” said the old man．

　　“I believe you bought a ticket．All right, you don't have to buy another one,” said the conductor kindly．“But how can I know where I’m going?I can’t remember my station!” the old man said sadly．
