There are all kinds of animals on our planet. Some are cute, but some are not. Some are small, but some are big. Here are four of the funniest, friendliest animals. But remember, although they look nice, it doesn’t mean they are always friendly.

Not all dogs are so cute, but most of them are pretty friendly. When you come near an unfamiliar dog. remember to hold out your hand, so he can smell you and see you mean not to harm.

Cows love to eat grass, and they eat quite a lot! You needn’t be afraid of this kind of quiet farm animals. But don’t run at a cow in a field or touch one, unless you are told by an adult it’s okay.

Horses are big and beautiful animals, but they can be frightened easily. A horse might jump up if she hears a loud noise, or kick her legs if you come near too suddenly. All horses, like humans are different.

Chimpanzees make funny faces and put on a real show at the zoo, but believe it or not, they can be very dangerous. And they are strong, too much stronger than humans (人类). So you should never make a chimp mad!

Do you have a garden? Do you help your parents or grandparents in the garden? So why not grow your own vegetables? We should all eat lots of vegetables to be healthy and growing vegetables is a lot of fun.

You should always plant vegetables in a sunny place and in good soil. You shouldn’t plant vegetables outside when the weather is cold because they won’t grow.

What is your favorite vegetable? What vegetables does your family like to eat? Choose the vegetables you want to grow. Tomatoes, onions, and cabbages are all easy to grow. For tomatoes, you can plant seeds or small plants. For onions, you can plant bulbs. Plant lots of different ones, and then you can see which you and your family like best! Some of them will grow better than others in your garden. You should draw a picture of your vegetable garden so you can remember where you planted your different vegetables. Then you will know what they are when they start to grow.

You should rake (翻土) and water the soil and dig (挖) some small holes (洞). Then plant your seeds or vegetable plants in the holes. You should water your vegetable plants every day. The best time to water them is in the morning. Ask a friend or someone in your family to water them when you can’t do it.

You don’t need a big garden to grow vegetables. You could grow them in big boxes. And when your vegetables are ready, you can pick them, wash them, cook them and eat them! Also, you don’t need to spend a lot of time. So, why not start your vegetable garden today?

If you’ve ever travelled with others, you may find it’s hard to have fun. When you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, your friends may think that getting enough sleep is more important. And when you want to try the local (当地的) food, your friends might think it’s a bad idea and take you to a Chinese restaurant.

So, you see, travelling with others may stop you from doing what you want to do. This is probably why more people these days prefer to travel alone.

In fact, travelling alone is only a part of a recent trend (趋势) of people wanting to take more time alone—or what’s called “me time”.

“Me time” refers to time taken just for yourself. It’s also called “alone time”. Many people feel that in their daily lives, they are always giving their time to others so that they spend little or no time on themselves. “Me time” solves this problem by giving them time to spend on activities they enjoy. During their “me time”, people can do anything they like.

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, once wrote about how she enjoyed having her “me time”. “I often take myself to dinner and travel alone. It’s not easy. But it’s important,” she wrote.

He can’t cut grass for their gardens ________ he has no tools to do the work. Then he sees one of his classmates, Dick. He is delivering(送) ________. “I can do that,” he thinks. “Maybe I can even get the computer right away. I can ________ for it a little each week.” He runs to catch up with(追上) Dick. Joe asks him a lot of questions. He learns that it is ________ to get twenty-five dollars each week. He also ________ that the job takes about three hours each week. Dick gives him the phone number of the newspaper manager.

Joe almost flies home. After he tells his mother ________ he thinks, she smiles. “I think it is a great idea,” she says. “I’ll call. After that, I’m going to be a businessman.” Joe’s mother smiles ________.

One day, he sees an ad in a newspaper. The bike     33     (cost) 500 yuan. It is really beautiful. So he goes to the shop     34     (have) a look.

“Not included in the price of the bike?” Tom says     38     (angry). “But that’s not honest. If the light is in the advertisement, you should sell me a bike     39     a light.”

“Well, sir,” answers the shopkeeper, “Look, a girl     40     (ride) the bike in our ad. Shall we give you one of these, too?”
