9、ur kids do? 你能给我一些建议吗？ Advice: When you ask your kids to do chores, you are teaching them how to clean and organize things. So it is helpful for kids to do some chores. I have two children: 10 and 12-year-old boys. 他们洗餐具， 洗衣服。 They break lots of dishes and bleach (漂白) their clothes, but they learn!

This is an old story. It was first told long ago. 1. A rich man wanted to make a journey to another town. H
15、e was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take some gold to buy some things with. 2. 他决定带着 10 个仆人跟着他。They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the journey. He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, 3. You are the smallest, the thinnest and the
16、 weakest of all my servants. You can not carry a heavy load. You may choose the lightest load to carry. The servant thanked his master. He pointed to the biggest load. 4. This was bread for them to eat on the journey. You are foolish, said his master. That is the biggest and heaviest load. But the s
17、ervant lifted up the load cheerfully and the journey began. 5. 他 们走了数小时。Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate some of the bread. Then there was less bread for the servant to carry. The servants load grew smaller and lighter every day. At the end of the journey, the smallest servant had nothing

19、and there was an old man. On his back was a bag of seeds. In his land was an iron pipe (铁管). The man used the iron pipe to make a hole in the ground. Then from the bag he took a seed and put it in the hole. He did this again and again. Later the old man told the traveler. Ive planted over 100,00 see
20、ds. Perhaps only a tenth of them will grow. The old mans wife and son had died, and this was how he chose to spend his final years. “我想做一些特别的事情。”he said. 二十年以后，那个年轻的游客已不再年轻。He returned to the place. What he saw amazed him. He could not believe his eyes. The land was covered with a beautiful forest t
21、wo miles wide and five miles long. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wild flowers were here and there. The traveler stood there and thought about how terrible the place was. A beautiful forest stood there now, all because someone cared. 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ （七） Everyone is good at somethi
22、ng, but some people are truly talented. Its always interesting to watch other people show their talents. 才艺秀越 来越受欢迎。 All these shows have one thing in common. They try to look for the best singers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest singers and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But
23、 who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? 那个由你来决定。 When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up. For example, some people say they are poor
24、 farmers, but in fact they are just actors. However, if you dont take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true. 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ （八） 1. Not everyone is successful (成功的) in making their dreams com

26、ed to find better ways of making cartoons move. At that time, some movies just started to use sound. 4. 所以迪士尼决定也把声音放入到他的卡通片中. People were excited when they saw Mickey Mouse talk on the movie screen. 5. Mickey became popular with both the young and the old. Later, Walt Disney started to build a new k
27、ind of amusement park (游乐 场). He hoped to bring a clean, good and beautiful world to people of all ages. In the end, Walt Disney made his dream come true. In 1955, Disneyland opened in the USA and became the most successful amusement park in the world. 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ （九） My name is Ann.1. I wor
28、ked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others. I called some charity shops (慈善商店) to ask if they needed volunteers. Although I didnt mind where I volunteered, I was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes. Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because volu
29、nteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital. Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I really enjoyed doing it.2. I also found how important the public (公众) were. Lots of people gave us things they didnt need for the shops
30、to sell. In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness. 3.我总是很晚才离开慈善商店 because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was. Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop. They were friendly and helpful. I really improve
31、d my teamwork skills by volunteering. 4.我在那里从四月工作到八月。5. I learned many things from it and Im sure they will be useful in the future. 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ （十） 1.Ive been very busy since becoming a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association. Every Saturday, I help to get the horses ready for

Right now, Im just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders. Im also helping to organize a sale. 3.它将在下个月举行。 Its more difficult than helping the disabled. 4.I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. I hope the sale raises more money than last months walk. It was rainy, 5.所以只有很少的人参加。 1._ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._
