It was Sunday yesterday．Steve 1 a relaxing weekend． 2 Sunday morning,he played computer games with his friends at home．It 3 pretty good．In the afternoon,he 4 with his mother．They bought many kinds of food and vegetables．It was really relaxing and exciting．In the evening,he 5 a talk show with his parents and listened to some songs by a 6 singer． 7 Ann had a busy weekend．She 8 stopped working．On Sunday morning,she cleaned her bedroom and did her homework．In the afternoon,she went to visit her uncle and 9 him do some farm work．In the evening,she cooked dinner for her parents．After dinner,she washed the dishes．Then she went out 10 a walk with her dog．
Mr Evans worked in Seattle,but then changed his job．He and his wife moved to 1 town．They didn't have many 2 there, 3 they soon met many interesting people． 4 a few weeks,they often went dinner or to 5 at other people's homes．
One day Mr and Mrs Evans also had a party at home．They 6 their friends to come．They and their friends all had a good time．They sang and danced 7 and didn't 8 even it was very late．At 9 a policeman came and asked them to 10 their party because they made so much noise．
We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers．Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at the traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf．It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop．“Buy it,” she said at once．“We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (车顶架)．I've always wanted one like that．”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied onto the roof rack．It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too．
As it was getting darker, I drove slowly．Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening．The police even stopped traffic to let us through．Carrying furniture was a good idea．
After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars behind．Why don't they overtake(超车)？”
Just at that time a police car did overtake．The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past．But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic．The police car stopped at our Village church (教堂)．One of the officers came to me．
“Right, sir,” he said．“Do you need any more help now?”
I didn't quite understand．“Thanks, officer．” I said．“You've been very kind．I live just down the road．”
He was looking at our things：First at the flow-ers, then at the bookshelf．“Well, well,” he said and laughed．“It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was-er, something else．”
My wife began to laugh．Suddenly I understood why the police drove here．I smiled at the officer, “Yes, it, s a bookshelf, but thanks again．” I drove home as fast as I could．

It was an unexpected holiday． 1 April 19,we were told to leave school and stay at home because of a new deadly disease called SARS．
It is not very 2 to be stuck at home(憋在家里),unable to 3 ．Although our classes are sometimes boring,going to school is much 4 than staying at home．
I am even starting to 5 some of my teachers．It would be nice just to see their faces again．Meeting old classmates would be great too．I feel as if 6 haven't seen them for ages．
After weeks of being at 7 ,I asked my parents to take my cousins and me to the Great Wall．Being able to go out made me feel 8 ．It was not very crowded there because 9 people were leaving their homes．
My school has asked me to do a special job during this unusual 10 ．
Every day I phone ten of my classmates and ask them to 11 their temperatures．I also ask them if they have done their homework． 12 I give the information to our teacher．
There is a lot of fun．
I have 13 made so many phone calls to my classmates!
14 knows how long this holiday will last．When we go back to school,I 15 everything will return to normal(正常)．I miss my friends and school very much．
