One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning（警告） her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering（恢复） from a heart operation（手术）, was 21 years old.

As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim(认领) the dog, so Ann decided to keep it. The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.” Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
10.If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _______. A．nine chairs B．ten chairs C．eleven chairs D．one chair 11.Which of the following is not suitable for playing musical chairs? _______. A．A piano B.A radio C．A tape recorder D．A telephone 12.The chairs should be put _______.

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs.They can drive cars.And they can even get married when they’re a lillte bit older.
Their parents say, “ Our children are very good.They like pop music,but they play it in their own rooms.They help in the house.You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighborhood,no clubs,and no sports.They have nothing to do.
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind.He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited .Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school,and they can get good jobs later. Lewis,a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations,but I can’t get a part-time job because older people always think I’m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind.They belong to community work groups.They help old people,and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after the sick people and younger students. Teenagers Today the things teenagers can do Have part-time jobs; 1 cars; Get married when they are a little bit older. There isn’t 2 interesting in the neighborhood.
