  I was in a strange city and I didn’t know the city at all.And what is more, I could not speak a word of the l  1  .After having spent my first day in the town center, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I was sure that this was the better way of g  2   to know the strange city.I got on the first bus in the morning, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on.The first two hours p  3   happily enough.Then I decided to turn back to my h  4   for lunch.After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way.The t  5   was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly.

  I stopped to ask a friendly looking newspaper s  6  .He smiled and handed me a paper.I shook(摇)my head and repeated the name of the street, and he put the paper into my hands.I had to give him some m  7   and went on my way.Then I met a policeman.I asked him at once.The policeman listened to me carefully.Smiled and took me b  8   the arm.There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left a  9  .I thanked him politely and began walking on.

  About an hour passed and I found that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields could be s  10   on either side of me.I had come all the way into the country.The thing left for me to do was to find the nearest bus station.

  My phone rings a lot, but most of the time it’s for my cat, Stoop! Well, the caller doesn’t want to talk to my cat. He wants to talk about him.

  You see, my cat really walks around. I wanted to make sure that Stoop could always come home. I bought a little collar with a tag (标签). The tag said, “I have home. If I look lost, phone Fred Sparks 86689889.”

  And then my phone began to ring. One call was from a man I hadn’t seen for years.

  “Hello,” he said, “I see you are back in the town. I stopped to pet(抱) a car the other day. And there on his collar was your phone number! You borrowed me $20. How about paying me back? It’s been a long time, you know?”

  That wasn’t the only time Stoop cost me money. Another caller was a taxi(出租车) driver. He said, “I find a cat in my car. A cat with a phone number! I have sent him home.”I gave him my address, and had to pay $2.5 for the help.

  Another time, the phone rang late at night. A woman shouted at me, “Come and get your cat. He is making a mess of (弄乱)my room. He is running after my cat.”I tried to quiet her. She told my her name was Helen Burns, and gave me her address. She lived in the next street. I went over to get Stoop.“I’m sorry,”I said. Helen did not want to listen to me. She closed the door at once.

  Two days later, Stoop did it again. But this time I took along a box of sweets for Helen and a doll for her cat. Helen liked that, and we went out to dinner together.

  Now when the phone rings, I think, “Maybe it’s for me!” Why do I think so? Because sometimes Helen calls.And when she does, she doesn’t want to talk about my cat. She wants to talk about us.

Question:

1.Why did the writer have so many phone calls?

2.What trouble did the writer have because of the cat? Please write down.

It’s over three years since I began to learn English. I’m glad that I am getting on well with it.
I find English quite difficult, but very interesting. When I first started, I thought I had only to remember the new words and learn some grammar  I knew little about English idioms(习语).I thought each English word had the same meaning in Chinese. When I learn to say“I see a book on the desk,” I thought the English word “see ” was just like the Chinese word “ kan ”,So one day when my teacher asked me,“ what are you doing?”, I answered, “I’m seeing a book.” “That’s wrong .”  the teacher said, “you don’t see a book, You read a book. You can’t use English word like a Chinese one.. Be sure not to make the same mistake again.”
After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in English we say a“ high mountain”, but a“ tall man. ” In Chinese we use the same word “gao ” for both.。Again in English we say“ take part in the sports meeting ”, “ attend the meeting ” and“ join the army,”  while in Chinese we can use “can jia ” for all three. Interesting ,isn't?
So to study English doesn't only mean hard wok, it can be great fun,  too! We not only have to pay attention to pronunciation, grammar spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idioms. We can learn English well only in the way!
But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I’ll try my best and work even harder than before. I must speak and listen to English more both in and out of class. I must learn English well so that I can work well when I grow up.

It's over three years since I began to learn English. I am glad that I am getting on well with it.

I find English very interesting, but quite difficult. When I first started, I thought I had only to remember the new words and learn some grammar. I know little about English idioms(习语). I thought each English word had a word with the same meaning in Chinese. When I learned to say "I see a book on the desk", I thought the English word "see" was just like the Chinese word "kan". So one day when my teacher asked me, "What are you doing?" I answered, "I'm seeing a book." "That's wrong," the teacher said. "You don't see a book. You read a book. You can't use an English word like a Chinese one. Be sure not to make the same mistake again."

After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in English we say a "high mountain", but a "tall man". In Chinese we use the same word "gao" for both. Again in English we say "take part in the sports meeting", "attend a meeting" and "join the army", while in Chinese we can use "can jia" for all the three. It's interesting, isn't it? So to study English doesn't only mean hard work, it can be great fun, too! We not only have to pay attention to pronunciation, grammar, spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idioms. We can learn English well only in that way!

But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I'll try my best and work even harder than before. I must speak and listen to English more both in and out of class. I must read and write more, too. I must learn English well so that I can work well when I grow up.
