Alice: Hi, Jerry, I heard you have fun with Peggy in Merry Park yesterday. Jerry: Yes. We had a great time there. Why didn’t you come with us? We got there by bus in only ten minutes. Alice: I know, but the ticket is more expensive on the weekend. Also, I’ve been there many times since it opened five years ago. Did you try the Dandelion Seat there? It’s so popular that people have to wait for over an hour to get a ride. Jerry: You mean those flower-like umbrellas that fly high in the sky? Alice: Yes. I enjoyed riding on the Dandelion Seat and looking over the city. It was a great experience. Jerry: Eh… I liked taking the train to get around the park better. I don’t think it’s fun to ride in the air. I’d feel like I could fall down any time. Alice: Maybe you would like it more at night. It’s wonderful to see the beautiful lights below your feet. Jerry: Well… I’m afraid of high places. Alice: Oh, I see. That’s too bad. 【小题1】What can we learn about Merry Park?

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded
in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was
never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing
car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on
the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw
the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A
very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times
louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

Let’s go camping
What do we do when we go camping? First, we work out a plan. We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects(虫子) and the sun.
Then we put everything into the car and we drive to the woods(树林、林地). We look for a place for campers(露营者) and we look for a good place for our tent(帐篷). The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.
In the evening we come back to the tent, we build a big fire because it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell interesting stories or we may sing songs.
At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.
Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.
