One day, Jack wanted to build a snowman. He collected everything to decorate（装饰）his snowman. Outside, in his yard, he started to roll（滚）the snow into a big ball. At a window nearby, someone was watching Jack play. It was his new neighbor Naoko, She wanted to help Jack build his snowman.

She put on her winter clothes, ran outside to Jack and asked if she could help. “Yes, I need to roll one more     snowball for my snowman's body. Please help me roll another one for its head," Jack said.

“But snowmen only have two snowballs," Naoko said.

“No, snowmen always have three snowballs," Jack said. “I don't think I need you to help me.”

Feeling disappointed, Naoko walked back to her own yard and began to build her own snowman. She took off her hat and scarf and decorated her snowman. In the next yard, after Jack added a carrot for the snowman's nose, he finished too. Suddenly, the head fell off Jack's showman!

“Oh, no!” Jack cried.

Naoko heard Jack's cry and ran over to see what the problem was.   “Let me help you," Naoko said. Together they made a new head for the snowman and decorated it with the carrot and other things.

Jack said, “Thank you.”

“You're welcome. I like your snowman better,” Naoko said “Mine doesn't have a nose”.

Jack pulled his carrot out, broke it into two pieces and gave half to Naoko.

“Thank you,” Naoko said.

“You're welcome,” Jack said. “I think our snowmen made good neighbors.”

For most people the holiday season is a time of joy. It's always time to make memories as a family. For me, it is a time of loneliness-for I have been away from my family in Iran while studying in the United State.

A tie-clasp（领带夹）I still wear reminds me repeatedly of the unforgettable Christmas three years ago. All my classmates had excitedly looked forward to the holiday. I had no money for the vacation. My check（支票） from home had not arrived.

One day I walked to pick up my mail at the International Students Office. The important check still had not arrived. Maria, a Mexican-American student working in the department, must have seen my disappointment. She invited me to spend Christmas Eve with her family. I accepted gladly.

Maria's family was not rich. They lived in a small house. Maria introduced me to her parents, her aunt and her sister, who welcomed me warmly. Maria's father could only speak Spanish, so he talked to me while Maria's sister acted as an interpreter. The kind look in his eyes and his relaxed behavior made me feel right at home.

The dinner was well prepared. Maria's aunt ate while standing at a corner of the small, ole table. I felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that I was taking her place, but her gesture（手势）expressed the. hospitality（好客）.

It was an unforgettable evening of good friendship during a hard and lonely period of my life.

I'm often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?” You see, everybody expected me to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor. Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counselor（置业顾问）named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices.

My first choice was a chocolate tester. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate testers make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate testers don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest.

Next, I thought of becoming a football referee（裁判）. I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died.

Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist（造型师）. That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo. I noticed that he tried to bite（咬）her. “It happens all the time," she told me. As you can imagine,   that really put me off.

To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation（调查）so by the end of school year I had decided to become a reporter.

One day when Juanita was playing in the attic（阁楼）, she saw a box in the corner（角落）. Inside the box were some black and white    61    . Most of them were of a small     girl in a white dress. Her hair was braided（被编成辫子）. There was a farmhouse    62       each picture. In one photo there was even a horse. The girl looked just like her.

Then she went to her mom with those photos. "When did we visit a     63    ? And when did you braid my hair? And why don't these pictures have any colors? "Juanita asked a lot of questions. Mom laughed, “Oh, these are photos of your grandmother    64    she was a little girl. This was the farm where she lived in Mexico.” "Wow!" said Juanita. “I     65     I really look like her!”

Now more than 20 schools in the northwest of China     66     E-textbooks. Some teachers say they make learning easier and teaching more convenient.

Jing Xuan is excited about lessons like Chinese, English and math. She    67     the pictures and animations（动画）in the E-textbooks. The children here    68     with E-textbooks since last September with the help of the E-textbooks. Some good ideas    69     at times. Some parents encourage their children to try the E-textbooks to make learning easier. But others worry about their children's health.

You can't imagine how the growing popularity of E-textbooks is changing the way the students learn! More and more students will learn with E-textbooks in the future. However, there is still a long way     70    , "said the headmaster.

Have you ever been to Venice. Around the world, no city is quite like Venice, Italy. Tourists love its beautiful old buildings and squares. But What makes Venice a really special place is the water. The beautiful city is built on a group of islands in a large lagoon(泻湖）beside the ocean.     81    

However, it’s said that Venice is in danger from this water. What is happening?     82    At high tides(涨潮时), the water in the lagoon rises. Sometimes it rises higher than usual and floods the city. Because Venice is lower than it was the past, the flooding is happening more often. This is taking down the city’s ancient buildings.

A    83    The name of project is MOSE. Marco Armillis, an engineer, explains how it will work. “We are putting seventy-eight big floodgates(防洪水闸）at the places where the lagoon meets the ocean. The floodgates will close when there are high tides, to stop seawater from coming into the lagoon.     84     It hasn’t been an easy project for us because we are working under water.”

The MOSE project will cost about seven billion dollars and has already taken many years to build. If everything goes well, then in few years ‘time the seawater will not flood into Venice’s lagoon. Venice’s beautiful buildings will be safe for a long time.    85
