Have you ever hoped a toy balloon? They are very light. But there are much bigger balloons can fly very high up in the sky. They are big enough to carry people. They are called hot-air balloons.
To make a hot-air balloon go up, turn on the burner(燃烧器). That will make the air inside the balloon hotter. Then the balloon will go up.
To make the balloon go down, turn off the burner. The air inside the balloon will get cooler. Then the balloon will go down. Underneath(在….下面) the balloon there is a large basket. That is where the pilot and the passengers go.
The burner is just above the basket. You can stand in the basket and turn the burner on and off. The balloon will go where the wind is blowing the right way! Do you want the balloon to go somewhere special? First make sure the wind is blowing the right way!

“Excuse me,” said a young man, standing shyly at the open church door. “I’m here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter. Am I in the right place?” Well, we have baskets, but they’re not Easter baskets for kids; they’re food baskets,” I explained.
That morning I arrived at St. Micheal’s Church in Carmichael, California, to help give out the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one, we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham, potatoes, bread, vegetables, and a pie --- enough food to help feed a family for a week.
“Why don’t you come in?” I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said, “I can’t... My daughter is waiting for me over there. I’m grateful for the food, but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter ... well, I thought they would be Easter baskets for children.” He continued, “I promised my daughter one, and I wanted to surprise her.”
I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number, and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge(凸起) in one of the baskets caught my eye. “What is that?” I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely, I could see, unmistakably, an Easter basket --- filled with candy, chocolate, and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake! I thought. Then I looked at the man’s number in my hand. Well, he’ll be....
“Happy Easter,” I said to the man, handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside --- the very same basket with his number on it. “Someone knew just what you needed.”

Here is how to leave the supermarket with the things you wanted to buy and nothing more.
Suggestion 1: Pick up a basket. You’ll head straight for the checkout (收款台) when it starts to get heavy. Don’t use the trolleys (购物车) because they will make you put in extra things. |
Suggestion 2: Make a list and stick to(坚持) it. Supermarkets usually place things we use every day far away, such as bread and milk. So you have to walk along the aisles (过道) in between, buying things you don’t really need on the way. |
Suggestion 3: Keep away from BOGOFs (Buy One Get One Free offers). Just how many watermelons can you eat in a week? Fruit and vegetables usually work out cheaper. |
Suggestion 4: Look up and down. The most expensive things are placed in the middle. For cheaper things, check the higher and the lower places. |
