     Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was"missing"from a mother's cupboard．
     Finally，I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received．It was an old，dirty and broken Christmas story book．Just then I wanted to express my happiness，I was interrupted（打断）by the giver，"And see，it is new!It still has the price tag．""
     When other children laughed at him，I stopped them and said，"Oh，books are good in that way．The story is always new if you have not read it before．Now，Let's share one together．"Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life．

16．During the Second World War，John's family didn't have a washing machine．Therefore，（63）keeping/to keep （keep） clothes clean became a problem for them．
Before long，a family friend decided（64）to join （join） the army and his wife was going with him．John's family told them that they could take care of their furniture while they were away．To the （65）family's  （family） surprise，the friend suggested they should use his Bendix washing machine．"It would be better for it to（66）be used  （use），rather than sitting （67）quietly （quiet），"he said．
Young John helped with the washing，and he developed a deep love of the old，green Bendix．（68）Later （Late），the war ended and the family's friend returned．When he came to take the machine away，John became very sad．His mother saw this and said to（69）him （he），"Son，you must remember that machine didn't belong to us in the（70）first （one） place．It was a gift for us to be able to use it for such a long time．So，instead of （71）being （be） sad about the loss，let's be grateful that we（72）were （be） able to use it at that time．"
We have all experienced loss：loss of people and things．However，if we see the thing we（ 73）have lost （lose） as a gift that we were given for a time，maybe the sad（74）memories （memory） will change into thankful ones．

A．The other part of a typhoon（台风）is the wall of clouds around the eye．
B．The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves．
C．Listen to the radio or TV for more information．
D．A typhoon is a kind of very violent（强烈）storm．
E．But they also can be very dangerous．
（66）D They develop in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean（太平洋）．Most of them happen in July，August and September．
When lots of sea water gets hot in the sun，it evaporates（蒸发）into the air．This makes the air hotter，too．Once the air gets warmer，it starts to move very quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps rising in the sky．（67）BAnd when the wind moves faster than 30minutes a second，a typhoon begins．
A typhoon has two parts．One is called the"eye"．This is right in the middle of a typhoon and is calm（平静的）．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．（68）A This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are found．
Typhoons bring water to people．（69）E They blow away houses and cars and even kill people．
How to stay safe when a typhoon hits？
•If you have to get out，take a train．It's safer than taking planes and cars．
•Close the windows and stay away from them．
•Stay as far away as possible from building sites．
•（70）C
•Before the typhoon arrives，try to bring all of your things inside，such as plants and your bikes．

April Fools'Day is celebrated in many countries around the world．In France，it's called"Fish of April．"In Scotland，the holiday is often called"Gowkie Day．"In Iraq，the holiday is called"April Lie．"
People have celebrated April Fools'Day for a long time．Some believe the tradition comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago．It was a day of playing games and pretending to be someone else．
Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564，when King Charles changed the yearly calendar．He moved New Year's Day from April 1st to January 1st．Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems back then．Some people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st．Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them．
In the United States，April Fools'Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends．These kinds of jokes are also called pranks．These jokes usually end in the shouting"April Fools!"
Simple pranks，like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls，are still common．But，major companies also get in on April Fools'Day fun in a much bigger way．A few years ago，on April 1st，Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes-Plenta and Micra．The very large cups，bigger than a human head，remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee．According to Starbucks，the cups could be used as a rain hat，a pot for plants，or a lampshade （灯罩）．
More and more，people use smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools'Day．One smart phone app，Cat Facts，sends funny facts about cats to your friends'phones，every day．

11．The crab is a living clock．It tells the time of the day by the colour of its skin，which is dark by day and pale by night．The crab's changing skin colour is a regular twenty-four hour cycle（周期）that follows the daily rhythm（循环）of the sun．
    Does the crab really keep time，or is its skin simply affected by the sun's rays（光线），changing colour with the amount of the sunlight？To find out the answer，scientists kept some crabs in a dark room for two months．Even without daylight the crabs'skin colour continued to change．
    The change probably had something with the rhythm of the sun，to help protect the crab from the sunlight and enemies．After millions of years it has become completely regular inside the living body of the crab．
    Scientists noticed that once each day the colour of the crab is especially dark，and that each day this appears about fifty minutes later than the day before．From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides（潮汐）．The crab's darkest period（一段时间）is the time of low tide on the beach where it is caught．
