1people from around the world came to the eastern Spanish town of Bunol. They threw tons of tomatoes 2each other in a yearly food fight. That made the street in red juice. A rocket 3from the town hall was the start of the event for which local government offered 120 tons of tomatoes.
Many people, including many from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Asia, wore hard hats, glasses or protective plastic sheets. 4protect their things from the sea of red mush (糊状物), shopkeepers 5huge plastic covers on the front of their stores. About 40,000 people took part in the tomato fight this year, 6four times the people of the town. 7amazing!
After the fight lasting about one hour, municipal(市政的) workers and local people used big water pipes to clean the streets which were covered with tomato mush. The joiners went to a nearby river to wash 8.
The tomato fight is held each year on the last Wednesday in August. The start of the event is still not clear although it is 9to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends 10in Bunol.

“You are12.” said his master, “That is the biggest and the heaviest one.” The boy didn’t say13 and lifted the load gladly.
On the trip they walked for days and at last they got to the town. All the servants were very tired14 the little servant. Do you know15? Most of the bread was eaten during the trip and a little was left when they arrived at the town.

Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think their parents are too strict1 them.
Parents often find2difficult to win their children’s trust and they seem to3how they themselves felt when they were young.
For example, young people like to do things without much 4. It’s one of their ways to show that they grow up and they can5any difficult problems. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed. So when you want your parents to let you do6, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they wear, the music they enjoy and something7. But they don’t mean to cause any trouble. They just feel that8this way they can be cut off from the old people’s world and they want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents don’t like their music or clothes or their way of speech, the young people feel very sad. Sometimes instead of going out with their parents, they just want to stay at home9and do what they like.
If you plan to do something, you’d better win your parents over and get them to understand you.10, your parents will certainly let you do what you want to do.

Have you ever heard of Agatha Christie, an excellent writer? Agatha Christie is, without a doubt,1mystery writer in the world. Her books have been translated into more than 100 languages. All 77 novels and story collections she wrote are still on the market 25 years after her2.
Agatha Christie was born in 1890 in a southwest England seaside town. She enjoyed a very comfortable childhood in a big house with3servants(仆人). Agatha was known4an imaginative child. With her sister and brother away at school, she often played alone. She passed the time by making up stories which she told to5.
Agatha Christie’s first novel was published in 1920. In it, she6one of her most popular characters, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. He went on to appear in 33 of her novels, and in several movies7. Although Poirot appears again and again in her novels, Christie certainly could not be considered as repeating her ideas. Her powers of invention and her ability to surprise continue to attract8readers around the world.
Christie also wrote several9. One of these, “The Mousetrap”, became the longest-running play in the history of theater. It is about a murder mystery that10in a country house. All these mysterious stories earned her the title “Queen of Crime”.

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such1that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 2things in life and about devoting ourselves to3is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would4the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 5 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at6street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His7was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of8all over the house 9he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon10that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to11 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a12man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said13; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up14, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans,15or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten(幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes.
I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “
It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching(令人感动的) as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes !”
