    Jane is a nice girl and likes small animals. On her way back from school1afternoon, she always stops2the animals in the pet (宠物) shop. She likes to see the dogs. One of them is a little white dog, and Jane likes it3. She4the dog5in the pet shop. She often forgets (忘记) the time. So she comes home very6. One day her parents asked7she was late. Jane told them about the dog in the pet shop.

    The next day Jane stopped to look8the window of the pet shop, but she could not9he dog. She was very sad and went home early.

    When she10home, her mother showed her a big cake and her father gave her the little white dog from the pet shop. It was her birthday. Jane was very glad. From that day, she did not come home late. She ran home early to play with the little white dog every day.

    Mrs. Black is a fifty years old woman. She lives in a beautiful house in a small town. She has two cats. One is very big and the other is quite small. She likes them very much. One day, Mrs. White, a friend of hers, comes to see her. When she sees two holes in the door, a large hole and a small hole, she is very surprised and says: "My dear friend, why are there two holes in your door?"

    "Let the cats come in and go out, of course." Mrs. Black answers.

    "But why are there two holes? Isn't one enough?" asks her friend.

    "How can the big cat go through the small hole?" Mrs. Black says.

    One day, Mr. Smith went to a dinner party. He was wearing very old clothes. He came into the room. But people in the room didn't look at him. They didn't ask him to sit at the table. He wasn't happy. But he said nothing.

    Mr. Smith went home quickly and put on (穿上) his best clothes. He went back to the party. Everyone in the room stood up and looked at him. They gave him good food to eat.

    Mr. Smith took off his coat, and put it on the food and said, "Eat, coat!"

    The other people were surprised and asked, "What are you doing? Why do you do that?"

    Mr. Smith answered, "I am asking my coat to eat food. When I wore old clothes, you didn't look at me. You didn't ask me to sit down. Now I am wearing these nice clothes. And you give me good food. Now I see, you give the food to my coat, not to me."

    American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Saturday.

    Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some programmes (节目) help children to understand the news, others show people and places from other countries or other time in history. With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home.

    Television brings many places and events into our homes. Some programmes show crime (犯罪) and other things that are bad for children, so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things to do.

Dear Zhang Han,

    Thanks for your e-mail. Your school life is very interesting. I hope I can go and visit you soon. Now I would like to tell you something about my school life in England.

    In England, the school day is from Monday to Friday. It usually begins at nine o'clock. First, we go to our class teacher for registration (登记). Then we go to lessons. Each lesson usually lasts for forty-five minutes. There is a break about twenty minutes in the morning. During the break we can buy food from the store. Some students have lunch in the school dining hall and others bring sandwiches or go home. Students have to wear school uniforms. Lessons are over at 3:30 p.m. and then there are usually a lot of activities, for example, sports and music clubs. I know Chinese students usually have a lot of homework. We have homework, too, but not much.

    Tell me something about you and your friends.

Yours,

Kevin
