Mr. King goes to a dinner party. He is wearing old clothes. He comes into the room. But people in the room don’t look at him. They don’t ask him to sit at the table.

Mr. King goes home and puts on his good clothes. He goes back to the party. Everyone in the room stands up and smiles at him. They give him very good food to eat.

Mr. King takes off (脱下) his clothes, and puts them in the food and says, “Eat, clothes!” The other people ask, “What are you doing?”

He answers, “I’m asking my coat to eat food. I am wearing my old clothes. You don’t look at me. You don’t ask me to sit down. Now I’m in these clothes. And you give me very good food. Now I see, you give the food to my clothes, not to me!”

Jim is a ten-year-old boy. One day his friend, Tom, says to him, “I’m going to have a birthday party on Saturday. Jim, can you come to my party?”

“I’ll be glad to,” answers Jim.

Before Jim goes to the party on Saturday afternoon, his mother says to him, “Now, Jim, do not forget to be polite (礼貌的). Don’t ask for food until someone gives it to you.”

“All right, mom,” Jim answers and he goes to Tom’s house on his new bike. There are a lot of children at the party. They play together for an hour. Then Tom’s mother gives them some food. But she forgets to give Jim something. He waits politely for ten minutes and then he holds his plate up in the air and says loudly, “Does anyone want a nice and clean plate?”

Children all over the world like to celebrate their birthdays. Chinese children are the same as them. Now many Chinese children usually celebrate their birthdays with a party.     32     They may not have the party just on the date of the birthday if it comes on a school day.     33    

Chinese children can have the party in different places. Some may have it at home.     34    Wherever they have the party, they always eat a kind of special food---a bowl of long---life noodles for dinner. Children sing songs and play games. They usually have a good time.

    35     One candle is for one year. When parents light the candles, everyone sings the song Happy Birthday. The birthday boy or the girl will make a wish, and then blow out the candles in one go.

As children grow older, their birthday parties change. In fact, some people stop having them.     36     However, they would like to remember the happy birthday parties of their childhood.

Teachers teach us and help us to become good students. So we should thank them for their hard work. Chinese students celebrate Teachers’ Day     52     September 10th every year. But do you know     53     American students thank their teachers?

In American Schools, students have a whole week in May to thank     54     teachers. Teacher Appreciation Day is on Tuesday of that week. Schools have parties for teachers with snacks and     55     during that week. There are also signs everywhere to     56     their love for teachers.

American students like     57     small gifts to their teachers. Teachers     58     get thank-you notes from their students. They     59     get some hand-made things and small candies from their students.

Different countries have different customs to thank teachers, but one thing     60     common: we should be always     61     to our teachers.

An elephant and a monkey were good friends. There was a tall banana tree on the island. They wanted to cross the river to the island and get some bananas. The elephant could go across the river,     62     he couldn’t reach the banana because the tree     63     too tall. And the water ran so quickly that the monkey couldn’t cross the river.

“Get on my back     64     I can carry you,” the elephant shouted. When they arrived there, the monkey said “Let me climb up.”

    65     the end, both of them got the bananas. And they knew they must help     66     other.
