When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to Disneyland in America. It wasn’t the first time I had been    36 . Like most English children I learned French   37 school and I had often been to France, so I     38 speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand 39 . But   40 I went to America, I was really looking forward to__41_ a nice easy holiday without any  42 problems.
__43__wrong I was! The misunderstanding began   44  the airport. I was looking for a 45__telephone to give my friend Danny a 46 and tell her I had arrived. A   47 old man saw me looking lost and asked   48 __ he could help me.
“Yes.” I said,“I was to give my friend a ring. ”“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting   49  ? But aren’t you a bit young?”“  50  is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me   51  there’s a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “there’s phone downstairs.”
When at last we did meet up, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me. “Don’t worry,”she said to me, “I had so many   52 at first. There are lots of words which the Americans   53  differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to   54 funny things they say. Most of the   55 , British and American people understand each other!”

Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Day together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stub­born 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Jenny

Siberia is a huge territory in Russia. It is more than half of Russia and is 4,000 miles wide.  Most of this area is a forest with animals and birds. In autumn, the forests in Siberia are full of mushrooms and berries(浆果). Many people like picking mushrooms, but that is not as simple as you might think. Old people who live in the villages know places where you can pick lots of mushrooms. Some mushrooms grow in colonies. If you find one, you only need to look around because nearby you'll find more of them.

However, when picking mushrooms, it is important not to choose the wrong kind. You have to be careful because some mushrooms are poisonous even though they look good. The smell can help you choose them, because good mushrooms smell very good.

Siberian people are very friendly and hospitable. If someone invites you home for dinner, you'll soon be full. You should try everything the host is having.

The climate there depends on the territory. Some places have very comfortable climates with hot summers and cold winters. In my opinion, the best season is spring, when nature wakes up after a long winter. It is the time for blossoms and love. Birds come back from other warm countries. Trees become dressed in green. The sun becomes warm and the days are longer. The mood is wonderful and people smile a lot. It is an amazing time.

In winter, you have opportunity for sports. The most popular sport in winter in Russia is cross-country skiing. During weekends, many people go into the country and ski. Noses freeze and cheeks hurt, but people continue to enjoy these times.

Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick,just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him,his head warm on Bertie’s feet,when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England. ”

His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”

“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you, ” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.

“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would! ” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.

Bertie felt completely betrayed (出卖). He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels,he crept (蹑手蹑脚地移动) downstairs,took down his father’s rifle (步枪) and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.

“Be wild now”,he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will. ” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie climbed down the hill and walked away.

When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.

There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth,he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.

Would you work for nothing? Non-paid internships(实习生) have been common in the US for some time now. But these days, they are becoming more and more popular in other countries, too. Is this a good thing?

For young people, there are clear benefits to doing an internship. Firstly, interns get a valuable insight into an industry they might be interested in working for. Also, having done an internship looks good on your CV, which is very important in today’s competitive job market. A lucky few may be hired at the end of the internship, so it’s a good way of getting a foot in the door. For other interns, there is even extra welfare: deals on clothes if they’re working in the fashion in industry, free trips if they’re working for a travel agency…and so on.

There are obvious benefits to companies, too. They can help select employees who are better. “If you put two young people to work as interns for twelve weeks, you’ll soon see who is good.” said one manager. Besides, they can save money. “If I use interns, I don’t have to pay another salary, or worry about paying pensions or giving people overtime pay.” said another.

So, what do interns do? Most tasks are fairly routine. These may include photocopying, filing documents, or writing up notes from meetings. At times, interns may be given jobs with more responsibility, such as making sales calls, writing newsletters or updating websites.

However, for some interns the experience can become unpleasant. “I worked for a theatre company for six weeks and spent the whole time photocopying scripts and making the tea and coffee. It is dull.” said one intern. On the other hand, non-paid internships violate the labor law in some countries, where workers must be paid the minimum wage and paid for overtime.

Internship can provide benefits to both sides, but these unpaid workers are also easy to take advantage of!
