Our school doesn’t have many parties, but this year Ms Cipriano said we could have one. The fourth grade wanted the theme to be “Under the Sea”, but the fifth grade wanted it to be “Outer Space”. After a long discussion, it was decided to be the former one.
Everyone had to be on a team, and everyone had to help do something. My team was in charge of special effects. Gary came up with a great idea. He got two big, old fishing nets which were once used by his father when he went fishing on the sea. Gary, Jemma, and I used ropes to tie the nets to the ceiling of the dining hall, and it looked really great. Then we cut out fish shapes from colored paper and stuck them on the nets.
Everyone seemed to go to the party in one of three costumes: some kind of fish, a mermaid, or Neptune — the “King of the Sea”.
The dining hall looked great. Jemma’s father had put up colored lights for us. We were feeling proud of our work when the disaster happened. The nets fell down. We were all caught in the fish nets. We were laughing so hard that we couldn’t stand up. We truly felt as if we were “under the sea”. This wasn’t the effect we imagined, but it was special!

A baby carrier is like a backpack for carrying a baby. Ann Moore introduced the idea of a baby carrier to American people nearly 50 years ago.
Ann spent two years in Africa in the early 1960s. She worked as a nurse there. Ann saw babies wrapped in bright cloth tied to their mothers’ backs. The babies snuggled (依偎) close to their mothers, and the mothers could use their hands to do other things.
In 1964, Ann had her own baby. She tried making a carrier like the one African mothers used. The carrier was like a backpack. Everywhere Ann went with her baby in the carrier, people asked, “Where can I buy one?” In 1965, Ann and her mother began to sell handmade carriers. Ann received a patent (專利) for the baby carrier in 1969. By that time, the baby carrier had leg holes and straps (帶子) that could be made longer or shorter. It could also be worn on the back or front.
By 1979, the baby carriers were made in a factory. These baby carriers cost less to make and more than 25,000 were sold every month.
When Ann made her first baby carrier, she just wanted to keep her baby close and still have her hands free to do other things. Now all over the world babies ride in baby carriers, close to their parents, safe and happy.

Hello, I’m Peter in the second grade. Now I have one thing to say: It’s not easy being a kid. Being a kid might look like fun, but sometimes it’s not fun at all.
Yesterday I was playing outside with my friend. We were having a good time. But suddenly, my mother said, “Peter, it’s time to come inside now. It’s getting dark.” When you’re an adult, no one can tell you what to do or when to do it.
When you are a kid, you have to get up early in the morning and go to school. At school, you have to study math, English, science and history. After school, you have to do your homework. When you are an adult, you do not have to go to school and you never have homework to do.
When you are a kid, the older kids sometimes pick on you. When I was walking home from school on Monday, Tom and Steve bothered me. Steve took my schoolbag and put it in a tree. It made me very mad. When you are an adult, no one can pick on you.
When you are a kid, you have to go to bed early. On school nights, my mom asks me to go to bed at 9:00 pm. But I do have parents who love me, which is really great. So I think I like being a kid, even though it’s not easy being a kid.

Success is a key goal for most people. We are always trying to find the way to success, which means power, pride and glory (榮譽(yù)). There have been many stories of success I was told since I was a child. From then on, I have been hoping to be successful.
What is success? Different people have different opinions. To start with, some people, such as workers and waiters / waitresses, are looking forward to becoming rich, which allows them to buy what they want. They treat it as success. What’s more, some contestants, such as players, sportsmen and singers, are always trying their best to win. As long as they win, they believe that they are stronger than others. Last but not least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As the saying goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor (香味) in mine. Through helping others, we can also feel happy and successful.
In my opinion, success is quite simple. It means you can live the life you want and you can feel happy very often. Sometimes, money cannot bring you happiness, and you can’t have the feeling of success, because money is just the tool (工具) to achieve your goal but never the goal. Therefore, look for what you really want and then work hard for it. Then you are close to success.

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(請(qǐng)客)at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
" Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? "
" Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come'? "
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):
" Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or " Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie." Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辭)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀請(qǐng)). For example:
" Please come over for a drink sometime? "
" Why not get together for a party sometime? "
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
【小題1】 Why do Canadians and Americans often invite friends for meals at home?
| A.Because they have no time. |

Once an unhappy young man came to an old man because he was very sad. He asked how to be happy.
