Last Saturday, I went to the beach with my family. We had a good time there. I1a starfish（海星）on the beach. It was white and very beautiful. After getting home the next day, I wanted to learn about starfish. So I began to read the2about starfish on the Internet.

Of course, starfish3really stars. They just look like stars. They live in the sea,4 they aren't fish. There are about 1,800 different kinds of starfish5in the sea all over the world. Starfish don't live in fresh water. Hundreds of starfish are of different6.

The most common starfish are red, orange or yellow.

Starfish can take care of themselves when they are young. Young starfish know7to eat, and they know where to find their food, too. Starfish can't swim. They move by using their arms and tube feet（管足）. A starfish has no head. A common starfish has five arms.8, not all starfish have five arms. Some have many more. If an arm falls off, it grows right back.

I went to the park with my older sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a bench（长椅）when we played games. When we went back to the bench, a little girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She looked like she was 8 or 9 and had long blonde hair. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she got up and walked away. I asked my sister, "Did you have any money in your jacket?" "Yes, Anna, I did." she answer. I said, "Have a quick look in your jacket."

Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there. "That girl stole（偷）it!" I said, and we ran after her. We caught（抓住）her soon. My sister was very angry and she said, "Give me the money!" The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, "You left your money at home. It's on the table in the kitchen. "So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief（小偷）! Maybe she thought we were bad girls.

We felt ▲ .

Where is better to watch a movie, in a cinema or at home? Different people might have different ideas. Many people think the cinema has a better atmosphere（气氛）to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home.

Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy a ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seats. What's more, people watching movies at home wouldn't have to face any traffic（交通）problems.

It's free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we can't go outside or do anything else because the movie won't wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part（部分）of the movie, we can't know what happened just now in the movie. At home, we can pause at any time and go back to watch the missing part.

All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn't the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is the better.

Sometimes talent runs in families. Let's look at some famous（著名的）brothers and sisters.

Andy Murray and Jamie Murray are very famous brothers. They are both professional（职业的） tennis players and they play in competitions all over the world. Jamie is older than Andy, but only by about a year. They look very similar. They are the same height and they have the same dark hair. Jamie became a professional player in 2004, one year before his younger brother Andy. But Andy wins more competitions than his brother!

Kylie Minogue and Dannii Minogue are famous Australian sisters. Kylie began her career（事业）as an actress on Australian TV, then she began singing when she was 19 years old. She soon became famous all over the world. Dannii is younger than Kylie. She is also taller than her sister and she has darker hair. She began singing after Kylie, but she is also very famous. Dannii is also famous as a judge（评判员）on TV talent shows. Sometimes Kylie and Dannii sing together, and they sing really well.
