What do people think of doing chores? Do they like it or not? How do a couple do chores? Who often does chores at home? A husband(丈夫) or a wife(妻子)? Here is an interesting story about doing chores.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones hardly go out in the evening, but last Saturday Mrs. Jones said to her husband, “There is a good film at the cinema tonight. Shall we go and see it?” Mr. Jones was quite happy about it. So they went, and both of them enjoyed the film very much. When they came out of the cinema, it was already 11 o’clock. They got into their car and began driving home. It was quite dark. Mrs. Jones said, “Look, a woman is running along the road very fast and a man is running after her. Can you see them?” Mr. Jones said, “Yes, I can.” He drove the car slowly near the woman and said to her, “Can I help you.” “No, thanks,” said the woman, but she didn’t stop running. “My husband and I always run home after seeing the film, because whoever gets home late will wash the dishes.”

There was a fire in the mall(商场) at about 1:40 a.m. A reporter interviewed some people about it this morning.

Summer is here! It’s time to take the tent and walk into the forest for a fun weekend of camping.

Whether(无论) you go for a week or a weekend with your family or friends, the first thing you need to remember is safety when camping. Here are some suggestions.

Always tell someone what your plans are, where you are going, what time you will be back and who will be with.

Never go alone. It’s better to have someone with you.

Make sure you have everything you need before you go out.You can write them down on a piece of paper and put them one by one into your schoolbag.

Know some first aid(急救) and carry a first aid kit(急救包) with you.

Know the area you are camping in and how to get back home. If you’re not sure about your camping abilities(能力), take an adult with you.

Never go out into the forests without knowing the area, the animals you might meet or the rulers for camping in the area.

Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived in a small house. She planted a lot of beautiful tulips(郁金香) in her garden.

One night, the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing woke her up. She looked out of the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips, but she could see nothing.

The next morning she walked among her flowers, but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.

On the following night she was again woken by the sounds of sweet singing and babies laughing. She got out of bed and walked softly(轻轻地) into her garden. The old woman looked closely and she noticed that a fairy(精灵) mother was singing softly, and that in each tulip-cup was a little fairy baby, laughing and playing.

The old woman went back to her house quietly. From then on, she never picked a tulip. She didn’t allow her neighbors to pick the flowers, either. When the old woman died, all the tulips disappeared overnight. But her grave(坟墓) looked beautiful, because the fairies sang above it and kept it green.
