At Harton College--all English boarding school for boys，there are many rules．Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks down．

    The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class．But they must return to the school at six o’clock．One afternoon Bob walked to the town．He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema．After the film，he looked at his watch It was after eight o’clock He was a little worried．He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible．

    When he arrived，he ran quickly to the main entrance．It was locked，He went round the school building to another door．That one was locked too．He looked up at the window of his dormitory．it was on the third floor．The window was open．But it was quite dark and he could not climb up the wall easily．Then he saw another open window on the ground floor, It was the window of the headmaster’s study．

      He looked into the room；no one was there．Bob quickly climbed on to the window and jumped into the room．Just then he heard a noise Then someone turned on a light in the corridor．Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa One minute later，Mr. Mannering，the headmaster, came in．He turned on the light on his desk，and sat down on the sofa．Then he opened a book and began to read．

      Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible．He couldn’t move．The floor was cold and uncomfortable．He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour．

      “why doesn’t he getup and go to bed?”Bob thought．

      Mr. Mannering read his book for another hour．Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up，He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door．

      “Thank God he didn’t find me under the sofa,”thought Bob

      Then Mr. Marmering stopped and spoke towards the sofa．

Andy loved the first grade. He loved his teacher，Mrs.Parks. He loved playing games on the playground. He loved learning about dinosaurs and the solar system (恐龙和太阳系).
Every morning Andy’s mother dropped him off in front of his school on South Street. One foggy morning，the traffic was so bad on South Street that she decided to drop him off behind the school. Andy walked for about ten minutes and got to the gate. He held the icy handle，but it didn’t move！Using both hands，he tried his hardest and finally the gate opened.
After Andy closed the gate behind him，he looked in the direction of the teaching building. But all he could see was fog. He got to the spot where the slide had always been，but it was not there.“The slide is gone！” he cried. He walked a little more to look for the swings，but they were not where they had always been.“The swings are gone！” he cried again.
Andy kept walking. He was so anxious to see the school that he fell and landed on the ground. He still couldn’t see the school. A terrible thought appeared in his head.“The school is gone！” he cried sadly. No more games with Jennie，Angel and Dillon，he thought. No more reading about dinosaurs. No more watching videos on the solar system...
Suddenly the boy saw something up ahead.“It’s Jennie！”he shouted. Then he saw the outline of a school building. His school was still there！He was full of excitement!
“Hi，Jennie！” he stood up and caught up with the girl.“I couldn’t see the school. I thought it was gone.” Jennie just laughed.“You’re so silly.” “What happened to the slide and the swings？” Andy asked.
“We will have new playground equipment today，” Jennie answered.“The old equipment was taken away last night. Don’t you remember Mrs. Parks telling us about it yesterday？” “I guess I forgot，” Andy said，smiling.“Anyway，I’m glad the school is here.”
