　　Two old lady stopped at a restaurant to have lunch．

They ordered their lunch, and asked two bottles of

a well-known soft drink while they were waiting．The

bottles were made up of green glass, and they each

poured themselves glass．They were talking and drinking．

When one of them finished the first glass and poured other,

she found anything at the bottom of the bottle, but

couldn't make out where it was．She tried to get it out

and finally succeed．It was a little dead mouse．They both

fainted (昏厥) and had to be taken to the hospital, and got thousands of

ollars after they sued (起诉) the soft drink company．

[　　]It is a pleasure for me to write this letter to tell how much

I enjoyed my stay in your whole family last week．This was my

first visit to a English family．At first, I was worried about my

poor English．And when I saw your wife and children waiting for

me with warm smile of welcome on their faces．I immediately knew

that everything would be all right．There are many more happy

memories of the week that I will keep with me forever．I particularly

enjoyed driving through the countryside with you and saw the

changing colors of the leaves on the trees．I also like the

fishing trip．It was such much fun．

　　The street was busy with traffic and very noise．

Buses, black and yellow taxis, cars and bikes rushed

to him and everywhere people were crossing the

street．Isa stopped and watched it．He wiped

his face with handkerchief．The weather was very

hot．Isa thought these people were very carelessly,

or is it that they didn't understand the danger?

There were death every day on Jalan Bintang．

Isa waited at least ten minutes after he

Could cross．He wanted to stay live．Life was good!

This is a story told by my father: When I was boy,

the most exciting thing was when to celebrate the Spring

Festival．My grandma was the best cooker in the world

but could make the most delicious dishes．One time, I just

couldn't wait for the Spring Festival dinner．As I was

about take a piece from a cooked duck, I saw Grandma in

the kitchen looking at me．Shake her head, she said, “It

isn't a good time to do that, dear．” At once I apologize

and controlled me at my best till the dinner started．You

know, that was a dinner we had waited for several month．

　　British public libraries are link by computers．If your nearest

library in London doesn't have a book you want to borrow．

a librarian will go on-line to see whether any other

nearby library has．If no library in London has the book in

store, the librarian will search it further, connecting

libraries in other city like Manchester．If a copy of the book

found, arrangements will be made for it to be sent to your

library, and within a day and two, you will be able to check it

out．It is also possibly for readers to borrow books from

university and college libraries even if we are not students．

　　When I walked into the classroom, the teacher was handing

in the tests．I was feeling very nervous．I had not studied

at all at the weekend as I had thought it would be easy test．

I went through the test for many times but I could only answer

three out from the twenty questions．I did not want to fail

the exam．Then, I put my book under my desk, opening it

and started looking for the answer．The teacher wasn't

looking at me, but I copied something．Suddenly, I felt a hand

on my shoulder! The teacher caught me cheating．I don't

know what to say．Luckily, the teacher did not punish for

cheating but instead gave me a second chance．

　　Time is valuable but limit．There's a famous saying,

“Time is money”, this shows the importance of time．When

time has gone, it will never return back．It is a pity

that many people make poor use of time．They spent

precious time oversleeping, drinking and travelling．They

don't realize wasting time is equal to waste part of their life．

They always regret having made a little achievement so far．

Therefore, we should form the habit of valuing time．Do not

put off that can be done today until tomorrow．Laziness

will not only bring us failure, but also lead us on the road

of poverty and even death．

　　I worried about the missed bag all the evening．

I tried to remember exact what I had done from the

time I left the store until at the time I got home．I

remembered whether I had looked at the bag while I

was having lunch．So I must have it when I left the

Store．I remembered showing it to a friend on the bus．

But I had the bag then．I came directly from the bus

to my house, and I must have forgotten it on the bus．I

was in hurry to get off and forgot to check the packages

lying on the floor．I should be much careful next time．

[　　Last summer I learnt to ride a bicycle．At first, I was

unable to control its direction．Sometimes I fall to

the right or to the left．I worried to ask my father

impatiently how I could ride straight, so he didn't

answer me directly．Instead, he took me to side of the

Street．Can you find any bike track is really straight?

Asked my father．I watched more carefully and shook my

Head．No, he said, in fact, neither of the tracks is

always straight．But just by correct the direction

Every now and then, you had already gone forward．
