Our school’s science festival just ended a few days ago. What interested me most was the time we spent making a car. It was made out of corrugated cardboard (瓦楞纸板), but could still hold a person, as well as move.

We were excited about this idea, but we found it hard to make the car. It seemed impossible for a cardboard car to carry someone. Our physics teacher showed us a video. There was some corrugated board shaped like “A” or “W” in the video, it could hold more weight. This gave us the idea to make the car after getting the proper materials (材料).

Because there was not much time left for us, we had to finish it as quickly as possible, We talked about how the car should be made and how to test it. I was glad that we were able to work closely with each other. Everyone saw the work as an interesting way to relax. When the car was finally finished, we J all wore a smile on our faces and found that all our work had been worth it, even after spending whole afternoons Working on it.

We joined the competition after we finished the car. Though we didn’t win any prizes, we found I something more meaningful than success, we learned new things about physics and learned how to get along with each other.

It was a wet, rainy day during the school holidays. Lily looked out of the window and thought about her parents. They were on a long holiday. They said Lily was too young to go. So Lily was staying with her Aunt Bella. Today Lily was unhappy. She was all alone —Aunt Bella was out shopping.

Lily decided to go to the top floor. Maybe there was something interesting. She arrived at the top. There was an old door. Lily opened the door and walked in. The walls were changing colours. A sofa wasn’t on the floor! It was in the air. Suddenly she heard a sound “Whoooosh!” and after a minute she saw a boy appear(出现).

“Hi,” he said. “I am the genie(精灵). Who are you?”

“I’m Lily,” she answered, “but you don’t look like a genie.”

The boy looked at her. He said, “Hocuspocusinversus!” And then suddenly Lily was in the air. “OK! I believe you,” she shouted. “Get me down!”

“So, how many wishes do you want?” the boy said.

Then she told the cool genie she was lonely. She told him about having no friends. The cool genie just nodded his head(点头). When Lily finished her story she felt better.

The genie said, “Well, I must go now!” Then suddenly he was gone. Lily went downstairs(下楼) and found a postcard from her parents. It said, “Dear Lily. Miss you, back next week, love Mom and Dad.” Then the front door opened and she heard Aunt Bella arriving with her shopping.

The next day Lily decided to say “Thank you” to the genie. She went to the top floor and opened the door. But there was nothing there except a dark old room with a few boxes.
