It’s 9:50 a. m. And it’s time ________ the labor (劳动) class. Today, Ms. White will take all ________ to the school garden to plant fruits. Betty and her classmates are very happy that they will eat bananas, ________ and oranges and play there. But when they come to the garden, they don’t ________ any fruit.

Betty asks, “Ms. White, where are the ________?”

Ms. White says, “Look! In this big box.”

Some students look into the box, but there are only tools and seeds (工具和种子).

“We’ll plant the fruit seeds today. Let’s ________ it now!” Ms. White says and gives out the tools and the seeds.

All students begin planting the seeds with the tools. At first, it is a fun thing for ________. But soon, some students stop their planting. They think the planting is boring and ________.

At this time, Ms. White says, “Boys and girls, it is really not an easy thing to turn a seed into (使变成) a fruit. And we can’t ________ it in one class or one day. It needs a long ________ and great hard work (辛苦的劳动). After that, we can eat sweet fruits.”

Now, the students know the meaning (意义) of the labor class.

The old man wears glasses, a baseball cap, a cool T-shirt and sports shoes. He is an 83-year-old man from Wuhan, Hubei. People call him “Grandpa Kang”. He has a lot of fans on Douyin. He is famous for his fashionable clothes.

Grandpa Kang is young at heart. He enjoys wearing different kinds of clothes, from formal suits (正装) to casual clothes (休闲装). “Clothes can not only make people look beautiful and cool, but also show their love and hope for life,” Grandpa Kang says. “I want to encourage old people to enjoy life.”

Grandpa Kang also likes traveling and playing basketball. All of those help him stay healthy and happy. Sometimes he talks with fans online and gives them some advice when they have problems in life.

Grandpa Kang is really cool. Do you think so?

It is Sunday today. Mrs. Smith doesn’t go to work. She wants to go shopping and buy some clothes for her family.

There is a big sale at Mrs. Harris’ Store. Mrs. Smith thinks it is a good time to find some clothes at good prices. So she walks into the store. First, she buys some clothes for her children. She gets a green T-shirt, a pair of black trousers and a yellow hat for her son. Then, she buys a red skirt, a white T-shirt and a brown hat for her daughter.

After that, Mrs. Smith goes to buy some clothes for her husband (丈夫). He needs a new shirt. Mrs. Smith gets a blue one and a pair of black shorts for him, too.

All the things are on sale and they are only 76 dollars. After paying (付费) for all the things, Mrs. Smith finds a very nice purple dress. She loves it very much and buys it, too. It is 14 dollars.

Mrs. Smith feels very happy because she buys something for everyone in her family.

He Miao is a great teacher. But she is a little different (不同的) from a lot of teachers. Students can only take her classes on the Internet.

Ms. He has an organization (组织) — P. Art. It works with many artists and art galleries (展览馆) in the world to give lessons. Ms. He wants to give children art lessons in a new way. In her classes, artists tell students the history of art galleries. They also tell stories behind some artworks. And students can ask questions in class, too.

Many students like Ms. He’s classes because they can learn art in a new and interesting way. They don’t need to go out of home but can visit art galleries and enjoy art works all over the world.

Why does Ms. He give this kind of class? Because she thinks art is vital to education (教育) — it can help students with their studies and make them live a happy life. She hopes children can love art by taking her lessons.

How’s it going? Thanks for your e-mail. I know all about Black Friday. It’s a(n)     56     shopping day in the US. In China, we have a festival     57     shopping, too. It’s Double Eleven (双十一) shopping festival.

Double Eleven is on the     58     day of November. On that day, the     59     in online (网上的) shops are on sale. Many people are happy to get what they want at very good     60    . My mom likes Double Eleven, too. She     61     buying clothes for our families that day.     62     about five days, mom can get the clothes. But it is not always     63     to buy good clothes online. Sometimes some clothes aren’t right for us, so mom has to return (退回)     64    . It is great to be a wise consumer (理智的消费者) right?

Do you buy things online?     65     do you think of Double Eleven?

Yours,
