Rosie loved bedtime. Her dad always told her stories before she fell asleep. Sometimes, he told fairy tales. Sometimes, he told animal stories. And sometimes, he told sports stories.

Rosie couldn’t wait to hear Dad’s next story. But that night, Mom came in and said, “Dad is sick, but I can tell you a story.” So Mom told Rosie a story.

But to Rosie, it wasn’t the same. She felt sad. She didn’t want Dad to be sick, and she missed story time with Dad.

She thought maybe Dad missed story time, too. So Rosie got out of bed and went to Dad’s room. She knocked on his door. “Come in,” Dad said. When Rosie opened the door, Dad smiled weakly, “I’m sorry. I’m going to miss story time tonight.”

Rosie sat on Dad’s bed. “No, you won’t. I’m going to tell you a story.” So Rosie told Dad a story about a panda, a tiger, and a lion.

Dad loved the story and he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Iceland is a northern European country with amazing natural beauty and oceans around. There are a number of volcanoes (火山). It has a short summer which lasts from June to August. The long winter starts from September and ends next May.

Summer in Iceland is a golden season for tourists. Every year, people from all over the world come here to see the beautiful sights and enjoy the exciting whale-seeing.

In winter, when people in Iceland finish their daily work, they will have different special activities to spend the long dark night. Skating, riding snow motorbikes and having parties can really make an exciting night. After all the fun, a hot bath must be the first choice to relax. There are also story-telling activities for children, which can teach them to be strong and kind. The most popular stories are about Christmas in Iceland.

Because of a long cold winter, Iceland has a short growing season. The food problem was always a headache for Iceland in the past. It had to buy most of its food from other countries, Later, when farmers learned to use lights and underground heat to grow crops (庄稼) all year round in the greenhouse, things changed a lot.

Living in such a nice environment, most people in Iceland live a happy life. According to a survey about happiness made each year in Europe, Iceland is always among the top 3.

When I had something difficult to do, I used to ask my mum for help. But she always said, “Do it     46    , dear.” I would get so angry that I couldn’t talk with my mother at that time. I thought she was the worst mother in the world! One day, I decided to invite some friends     47     my home. My bedroom was in a big mess. Books were all over the table and the floor. I didn’t make my bed, so I asked my mother to help me clean it. But she said     48    , “Do it yourself, dear.” Because of my “lazy mum”, I have to wash my clothes and clean my room. I often help my parents do     49    . It is really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned so much. As time     50     by, I begin to understand her. I clearly remember what my mum always says, “Do it yourself, dear! Work can make you sunny!”
