Karie checked the words on her spelling paper again. If she got a perfect ________ today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Bee and a new dictionary. Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. S-1-o-w-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She ________ honesty (诚实), not honestly! Then she changed t-y into l-y before handing in her paper.

Fifteen minutes later, Ms. McCormack retuned to the classroom. Karie got a score of 100! The whole class ________ as she got the new dictionary from Ms. McCormack. There was also a note: To Karie Carter, for your perfect score in spelling.

After getting back home, Karie showed Mum her spelling test and the dictionary ________. “Mum, can you spell nicely? And slowly and honesly, and…?”

Karie’s smile suddenly ________. H-o-n-e-s-l-y?

“Karie, what’s the matter?” asked Mum.

“I don’t feel so good,” Karie said, putting the paper into her bag and ran to her bedroom. ________ could she tell the class she shouldn’t get the dictionary? But why wasn’t Ms. McCormack more careful? Karie picked up her pencil. If she put the missing “________” back in, no one would ever know.

The next morning, Karie handed her teacher the paper and the ________. “I can’t keep this. I made a mistake of honestly, and you didn’t ________ it.”

For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the note on the dictionary. Then she crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest”, and gave it back to Karie. Karie felt relly ________. “I can keep this? Really?”

“For a perfect score, no.” Ms. McCormack smiled. “But for your honesty, yes.”

There are many special buildings in the world. Let’s take a look!

	What a Big Basket This is the Basket Building. It is a seven-floor office building in the US. It took two years to finish the building in 1997. The most interesting part is that people who work here sell baskets. The baskets might sell very well.
	This House Is Melting (融化)! In fact, the building just looks like a melting ice cream. The Crooked House is a shopping centre in Poland. It was built in 2004. The building has a green roof (屋顶), yellow walls and colorful glass windows. There are three floors in this building. Every year, many visitors come here to see this special building.
	This building looks quite different from most buildings. It looks like a picture frame (框). The building is in Dubai and it’s named Dubai Frame. It’s 150 metres high and 93 metres wide. There is a museum on the first floor. It shows the city’s history. On the top of the building, there is a bridge. People can see the city from a glass window.

Roads in the UK seem (似乎) to be much safer—there were fewer road accidents in the UK in the past few years. The number of accidents there was smaller than that in any other country. If you go there, you should try to drive the same way English people do. Here is some advice for visitors.

Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have accidents because they don’t really know what to do in different situations. If there is a line of cars, don’t try to go past other cars and get to the front of the line. This is called “jumping the line”. If you do this other people will get angry (生气) with you.

Stop at a red light. In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, even if there aren’t any cars or people around. Don’t honk your horn (鸣喇叭) too much. If you do, people will think you are impolite.

If other drivers flash (闪光) their lights, they may try to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.

If you have an accident, you can ask the police for help, but don’t give money to them. If you do, they will think you try to bribe (贿赂) the police.
