It was raining heavily, and David was alone at home. The sound of thunder (雷) was so1 that it felt like the gods were fighting in the sky. This made him a little afraid, so he took his favourite2, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf.

Again, there was a terrible sound of thunder. He tried to turn his attention to the novel,3 the sudden sound of the doorbell (门铃) interrupted (打断) him. It couldn't be his parents. He looked at the4 on the wall—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again. "Who's there?" he5. There was no reply. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door6 checking who it is.

"Should I answer the bell or not?" thought David. He thought for a moment. Then he went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (球棒). He hid7 behind the door in case (以防) he needed it. But still, he needed to8 who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, "Who's at the door?" There was still no9. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other.

Suddenly, there was a loud cry. "David! David! Why don't you open the door?"

"There is no doubt about it, it's Dad," David shouted and rushed forward to open the door.

"Why are you10 a baseball bat?" asked David's father. Then his father gave him a big smile and understood his son.

A short while ago, Dr. Johnson made a robot named Robby. Robby was different from other robots because he liked to explore new things. Robby always asked Dr. Johnson questions like "What's this?" and "How does that work?"

Then, Dr. Johnson decided to teach Robby to learn things by himself. He wanted Robby to be able to explore the world, just like a human child. When Robby was 8 months old, Dr. Johnson took him to the zoo to learn about animals. Robby watched elephants, lions, monkeys, and pandas. He was amazed by how different they looked. In fact, Robby was interested in exploring planets and space. So he took a tour of the solar system with the help of a computer program.

One day, Dr. Johnson got very sick, so Robby put him to bed and took over his work. He even got a robot assistant to help him take care of Dr. Johnson.

Robby was really a clever and useful robot.

This activity is popular for many reasons. Firstly, many museums are free or the price of the ticket is low. It's much cheaper than going to a concert. What's more, people don't need to worry about the weather when visiting museums.

Wei Ming, a museum lover, says, "Visiting museums is like stepping deep into the world of history." In this way, young people can not only get the knowledge of the history but also discuss it with their friends.

In order to make visitors' experiences more enjoyable, many museums across the country have launched (发布) cultural and creative products such as a kind of box. There is some soil in the box and a small product about a topic is hidden in the soil. Visitors need to use tools to dig through the soil and discover the topic of the product. Many young people are interested in this exciting experience.

Thanks to technology, more museums have used modern tools such as 3D and AR glasses to show people some true situations of the history.

Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特征). They give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people respect him a lot. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (名誉).

A hero has larger power than ordinary people. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience a life with newer and further meaning. If we want to know whether a person is a hero, it depends on what he wants to live for and die for. If the answer is that he lives for and dies only for his own fame, he may be a famous person but not a hero.

A hero has vision from the mountain top. He has the ability to think about or plan the future with his great and clever brain. Also, he is able to develop or even change the society and create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King Jr., Americans might still take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skins (皮肤).

There might be changes in society without heroes, but the speed of change would be low. Thanks to the heroes in history, the society has developed so rapidly (快速地).

People have celebrated the National Day .

He came to China to help the Chinese and them.

Mr Li asked me for my homework, but I could not it .

We decided to David's game.

People often perform lion dance during the Spring Festival and some big events. Because some Chinese people think that lion dance can be a symbol of good wishes. Besides, it is a symbol of good luck and happiness, too. The dancers in lion costumes (服饰) are very cool. They can make the lion lively while performing. Sometimes they also perform kung fu. This makes lion dance special.

Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head, and the other controls the tail. They work together to make a perfect performance. In the past, lion dance was performed mostly by men. But it's different today. Lion Dance Me is a lion dance group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls from home and abroad on its team. They can perform together.

Lion dance is very popular with young people now. Many students can join the lion dance clubs in their schools. In the clubs, they can learn a lot about Chinese culture. More and more teenagers learn to perform lion dance. They think it's also a good way to exercise.

I had a special summer vacation this year.

I used to spend long vacation doing boring things. For example, I enjoy p with my phone, using the Internet and watching TV. But this summer, I decided to go through a whole vacation w my phone or the Internet. So I went to my grandmother's v in the countryside.

As soon as I arrived at my grandmother's home, I felt r. How lovely and peaceful the village was. The green and yellow plants were more beautiful t you could possibly imagine. I stood in one field, closing my e and smelling the rice. At the moment, I told m it was life, a simple life that I had dreamed of. From then on, I started living a comfortable village life. I went fishing, f kites in the field, rode a bicycle everywhere I wanted and ran after the kids. A there was no phone or Internet, I felt so happy.

My happy stay was all too short. Soon, I had to l the village and go back to the city. To be honest, I didn't feel like leaving. I learned that life can be simple and that I can still fully enjoy my life.
