题目内容

Karen lived with her parents in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. The Karoo was famous for plant and animal fossils(化石). Karen’s father was a paleontologist(古生物学家), and Karen enjoyed looking at the dinosaur bones in his office. She hoped to discover her own dinosaur someday.

Every summer, Karen’s father invited paleontologists from around the world to the Karoo. As they hiked through the dry land, he would show them fossil samples(样本) within the layers of sedimentary rock(沉积岩) and ash.

This summer, Karen asked her father if she could go along on the hike. He agreed, but he asked her to stay close by. As they drove to the trail(小径) , Karen’s heart beat quickly with excitement. There were so many places to visit.

The hike was interesting, but Karen was too curious to stay on the trail. Without asking, she ran down into a nearby ravine(峡谷) and looked among the rocks. Then, she heard her father’s voice calling to her. She ran up the side of ravine. Suddenly, she spotted something white and shiny.“Dad!”she shouted excitedly.

Karen’s father stood at the top of the ravine with the other people. They looked worried until Karen pointed to the shiny object. All the paleontologists examined it.

I had a summer camp with my classmates last year. Early in the morning. We gathered at the bus station. After saying goodbye to our parents，we got on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the campground. We got off the buses cheerfully. Laughing and shouting. We jumped and ran all over the place. It was the first time for us to be away from the parents .Some of us started to feel homesick (想家). However, when the night party and dances began, the homesickness was gone. The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did much better. Swimming class was my favorite. It was about the hottest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was a funny man, and during the class he often made us laugh happily. During the week I learned a lot of new things and made many new friends. I also learned how to take care of myself.

Long long ago, an old man lived with his three sons. He had 17 horses. One day, he died. In his will (遗嘱), the old man said that the eldest son would have half of the 17 horses, the second one would get one third and the youngest one would get one ninth!
