That night, Holly puts her glass of water next to her bed, reads for ten minutes, then falls asleep. And she finds herself in a beautiful forest. The trees are tall above her head and they are covered in big, green leaves. Small birds fly between the trees, singing all the time. And as Holly walks through the forest, she sees smiling green frogs and red and purple butterflies. There are no people anywhere. There are no houses or cars or computers. There is only the sound of the moving leaves and birdsong and insects and … something else.
In her dream, Holly stops and listens.
Lap, lap, lap.
What is that noise? It sounds like water. Is it rain? But Holly can see the sky and it is clear and blue. Is it a river? Or a stream?
Lap, lap, lap.
Holly walks towards the sound.
Lap, lap, lap.
The sound is quite loud now. It seems very close.
Lap, lap, lap.
Holly wakes up and rubs her eyes. She isn't dreaming. But she can still hear the sound.
Lap, lap, lap.
Holly turns on the bedside lamp and sees Eco. He is drinking from her glass of water! He wags his tail, jumps onto the bed and licks her face.

【推荐2】There are just three of us in my family: my mum, my dad and me. I've got many possessions and many modern things: a big TV, a new computer and a mobile phone. In my family life, I'm not expected to do the housework.
We go out for dinner together sometimes, but my dad is often abroad on business, and my mum works too. We usually just do our own personal things. My parents don't usually set rules for me, and since I'm a good daughter, they never punish me. Recently, we moved to a new flat and I like it very much. It's much bigger than our last one. But I feel very lonely when my parents are away from home. I hope they can spare time with me. I seldom feel happy in my family.
一Emily
I live on a fruit farm. We have lots of pear trees and some apple trees. I have to help my parents all through the year.
The busiest time is in late summer, when the fruit is ready to be picked. At this time of year, we usually get up at 4:30 in the morning, start picking at 5:00 and carry on working until late afternoon. My mother would bring lunch for us to have under the trees. At the end of the day, we are all tired and sleepy. It takes about five weeks to pick all the fruit every year.
At night, the fruit would be carefully packed into boxes and then put onto trucks. The trucks take it to the markets to be sold. Sometimes we ride in the trucks to the city. For farm boys, that is a very exciting time. Tired though, we are very happy to be with family and share the happiness.

【推荐2】I’m writing this article in China, far away from my home in the United States. You might wonder what I do to remember my mom on Mother’s day. Well, I certainly call her to say “Happy Mother’s Day” and promise that I will visit home soon.
I still remember the first time I forgot Mother’s Day. When I finally worked it out, I asked, “Why does mom get a special holiday? Why isn’t there a Children’s Day!”
I knew that I had messed up. I thought about all the time and love my mom had given me. I thought about the food she had made, the toys she had bought and the long hours she had spent with me. There might not be a perfect mom’s love, which can’t fix anything. After that day, for 364 days, I was looking forward to the next Mother’s Day.
That was the first year I forgot Mother’s Day. It was also the last year I forgot.
Are you struggling to consider what to do for your mom on Mother’s Day? Common things are to write a message that thanks for the love she has given you, send her a card or buy her a gift. But the most important thing is — DON’T FORGET!

School uniforms are used in Cuba. All students wear school uniforms with the color as a symbol of grade level. Children also wear scarfs because they are young pioneers.
Japan introduced school uniforms in the late 19th century. Today, school uniforms are very common. Many boys wear white shirts, short pants and caps. Girls’ uniforms might include a gray pleated (褶) skirt and a white blouse.
In Singapore, all students must wear uniforms. Though the colors are different from school to school, the normal uniform for boys is short or long pants, with a shirt (often white), while girls wear white pinafores or skirts.

【推荐1】Have you ever seen people building houses? To build a house, you need workers. They use their hands, tools(工具)and machines to put things together. Building the ISS(国际太空站）is the same. The difference is that the workers are astronauts. They walk in space and use robots’ arms and hands to do their work.
In the space station, astronauts are comfortable. The temperature there is about 21 °C .But outside the station, it can be too hot or cold for people. In the sunlight, it’s about 120°C. In the shadow(阴暗处）of the station, it’s about -85°C .So when astronauts walk in space, they have to wear heavy clothes—spacesuits.
Spacesuits also keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish in space. Each time people go into space, they leave rubbish there. So astronauts should be careful because there’s a lot of rubbish, and some rubbish goes many times as fast as a plane.
Space walking is not easy, and it can be dangerous. So it takes the astronauts a lot of time to learn it. Astronauts will need to do 160 space walks to finish their work in the ISS. That will take about 1,900 man-hour of work.
1. What’s the temperature in the space station?| A．About 21 °C. | B．About 120° | C．C. About -85 °C. |

When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental（心理的）health problems.
When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, USA. There he often did things in a different way. For example, he didn't like the doctor's white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients（病人）. He also tried to make them laugh.
Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw that patients were lonely and unhappy. He tried to help them, not just as patients, but as friends, too. He spent a lot of time with the children in hospital. He often put on a red nose to look like a clown to make the children laugh.
When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital named "the Gesundheit Institute". He wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.
Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1988, Universal Pictures made a film called Patch Adams. It was about his life. It was a great success. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams.
