    A grasshopper （蚱蜢）was playing the violin when he saw some ants busy1 food."Why are you working on such a beautiful day？"he asked.

    "We must collect food now，"said the queen of the ants."If we don't，what will we do when 2comes？"

    "Oh，winter is a long way off，"said the grasshopper."You take life much too 3."

    "But you must 4today if you want to eat tomorrow，"said the little ant."You can play your violin after you've finished your work."

    The grasshopper didn't want to follow her 5.He went away，singing.

    Spring soon passed and the warm summer came.All day long the grasshopper played the 6.Soon summer was over.And then autumn passed，too.One morning，the grasshopper woke up and was 7to find that snow had fallen during the night."Why？Had the long winter come？"he said to himself.

    The grasshopper wandered around looking for a place to keep 8but there was no such place."How9I was not to listen to the ants.While I am dying of cold and 10they are sitting in their warm nest with plenty to eat."

    The grasshopper was soon frozen stiff （冻僵的）.The ants picked him up and carried him to their nest.The grasshopper learned a lesson he would never forget.

    More and more Chinese are having English names，but not everyone is good at finding one．Why not offer them some help？An American girl called Lindsay Jernigan is now teaching people how to get better English names．

    While working in Shanghai，Lindsay met many Chinese people with strange English names．Some of them chose a lucky number of"Seven，"a favorite fruit，"Apple，"and a cartoon character，"Snow White．"Others had names like"July"and"Rabbit．"

    After noticing the problem，Lindsay had an idea．She quit her job and set up a website （bestenglishname．com） to help Chinese people get better English names．

    The website helps people in two ways．After they take an online quiz，people will get five English names based on their personal information，such as age，job and even future plans．This costs 18yuan．People can also meet with Lindsay to talk about their English name．But that costs more．

    Now，about 2，000people each day visit the website．Most of them are preparing to study or work abroad．Lindsay is planning to offer them more help，such as helping them write resumes（简历）．

    You may have heard of the famous saying，"East or West，home is the best．"What does the word"home"mean to you？How do you say the word in French，in Chinese，in your language？Although people usually know what the word means，it sometimes has no exact translation．It's not surprising，because the idea of home is different from country to country，and from person to person．A home is more than a roof and four walls．It's the cooking，eating，talking，playing and sleeping that go on inside．And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed．

    Homes look different in different countries．They also have different things inside．For example，in cold northern Europe，there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it．In the south，where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out，there are small windows and cool stone floors．

    We asked some people about their homes．

How often do people move house in your country？

    "In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time．They often move every ten years or so．"

—Chery，Boston，USA

What are features （特征） of homes in your country？

    "In Britain，even in town，there's always a garden．We have separate bedrooms and living rooms．But we don't often have balconies （阳台）．The weather isn't warm enough!"

—Pat，Exeter，England

    Do you know 2022World Cup will be held in Qatar（卡塔尔）．And FIFA（国际足联） has made a big decision．The 2022Qatar World Cup will be held in November and December．It is the first time FIFA has moved the event from its traditional summer to winter．

    According to the decision，the 2022World Cup will start on November 21．The final will take place on December18，one week ahead of Christmas．The tournament will last 28days，half a week shorter than usual．

    FIFA said，"This is an important step for us．December18，2022is a Sunday，and it's National Day in Qatar，so it fits perfectly．"

    Many people disagree that Qatar has the chance to held the 2022World Cup，since summer temperatures is very high﹣sometimes，the temperature may be about 50℃．So the country has an idea to move it to winter．At last FIFA gave the chance to Qatar．

    Although the change is good for the players，there is still much opposition ． The biggest opposition comes from the major European leagues（欧洲联赛），because the new time will be just Europe's club season．FIFA said they will try their best to make things go well．

    Alex turned his computer off and lay down on his bed．He grabbed the packet of chewing gum that was lying on the floor，popped （塞） one in his mouth and chewed it hard．

    He was bored．Today was Saturday and Steve，his best friend，was working as the newspaper boy again．Alex turned round and noticed the new skateboard under his desk that he'd won at his last skate contest．He decided to ride it to the skate shop，because the kids there would buy it from him immediately．

    He got up，grabbed his skateboard，opened the front door and rode away．He began to think of what he could buy with the money from selling the skateboard．He thought of the rock CDs．After a while he'd sell them to his friends，and with that money，he'd be able to buy skateboarding books．He'd sell those books back to Steve，and buy a few DVDs．Later he'd sell the DVDs to his elder brother's girlfriend!He could then get the ice﹣skating video，sell it to his small sister and…

    He skated along，a smile on his face，thinking of all the good things when he noticed a small bench on the side of the street．He just wanted to do one little trick on the skateboard，before selling it．He decided to do a kickflip boardslide．He didn't land on the bench and fell off the skateboard，hitting his knee on the curb （路缘）．
