It is time to go home from the park, and the cars are waiting for the boys. But Mike is not going to get into the car because he can not find his dog Rocky anywhere. He calls and calls, but the little dog does not _______.

All the other boys help Mike _______ Rocky. But no one can find the little black and white dog, and at last Mike has to go home without him.

“Maybe Rocky goes home,” says one of the boys.

But Mike does not find Rocky at home. “He may find his way home tomorrow morning,” says Mike’s father. “The park is so far away, I don’t think Rocky can find his way home. I can _______ see him again,” says Mike. He is very _______. And his parents are sorry for him.

“Come and eat your dinner now,” says his mother. “We will all look for Rocky tomorrow morning.”

But Mike can’t eat his dinner. He keeps thinking about his lost dog.

Just then he hears the telephone ringing and runs to _______ it. A man is talking.

“Hello,” says the man. Do you have a little black and white dog? A boy tells me your dog runs away.”

“Oh, yes,” says Mike. “His name is Rocky. I can’t find him today at the_______.”

“He is here at my house,” says the man.

“Thank you! Can you put him up to the _______?” says Mike.

“Just a minute,” says the man. “Here he is!”

“Hello, Rocky!” says Mike.

“Bow-wow, bow-wow!” answers Rocky.

The man says “Rocky _______ you. He is trying to get out of the house. Please come and get him at No.3 Park Road. Goodbye.”

Mike goes to get Rocky with his father excitedly.

There is a big zoo in our city. You can see a lot of lovely animals there.

Mina is a kangaroo. She is six years old. She is a large Australian animal and it moves by jumping on its back legs. She carries her babies in the pouch on her stomach. Peter is a lion from South Africa. He is a big meat-eating animal. Today is Peter’s fifth birthday. The workers in the zoo are having a birthday party for him.

This is a big elephant named Jim, with a long trunk. He is from South Africa, too. He’s ten years old. He is good at drawing.

Tuantuan is a panda from a mountain in Sichuan, China. She is four years old. She eats bamboo. She sleeps about 10 hours every day.

A long time ago, a girl named Julie lived in the forest. Her mother and father built a little tree house for her. Julie played all day with deer and rabbits. At night, she and her parents ate dinner in the warm cabin.

Julie had a good life, but she was lonely. She sat under a tall tree and talked to herself. “I wish I had a friend,” she said.

A bright light flashed, and a pretty woman walked out of the tree. “I am the fairy (精灵) of the tree,” she said. “Because you are so kind, the trees will talk to you.” She touched Julie’s head with a branch, and then went away.

From then on, Julie could hear all the trees talking. She learned their names. She learned how to take care of them. The trees became her friends, and she was never lonely again.
