【推荐3】My name is Dave and I am in England. My mother is from France (法国) and my father is from Japan. So we speak three languages (语言) at home. I think languages are very interesting and I want to study German (德语) and Chinese. However, my favorite subject at school isn't language but maths. I really like history, too. I like sports, especially soccer and basketball, because they're relaxing. But I don't have much time to play. I go   to   music club after school on Mondays, have guitar lessons on Wednesdays, and go to the library on Fridays. And Saturdays and Sundays are great because I can play sports, sleep and watch TV.

【推荐2】Jim and Danny first met when they were 6 years old. They became best friends, spending their summers together in a seaside In those early years, they went hiking almost the whole to sail before they were 10. The year they turned 11, their parents sent them both to the same boys’ camp in New Hampshire. There they began to love the overnight trips.

When they were 15,they spent a summer in Quebec, camping in an old tent. The year after graduating from college, they drove to Central America and rode a train through jungles,.

After that , they went their separate ways. Jim took a job as a teacher at a school. Danny became a journalist and lived in Boston . They sent each other Christmas cards, but found it n difficult to stay in touch.Their careers took them in different directions, giving them different experiences .

The years went by. They aged. They both turned 60. And then, miles apart, they both woke upone morning and knew it was time to retire. Both of them realized it was time to leave the jobsthat had kept each of them excited for 35 years.

It was time to begin a new chapter of life.

Danny had heard about a research project in Argentina. A team or scientists was searching for the planet’ s oldest dinosaur fossils(化石). And the team wanted some volunteer.

Danny called his friends of 55 years . He told him about this project . Then, he asked him whether he would consider going on such a trip. The answer was :Yes !

A few months later, just retired, they were setting up a tent at the foot of the Andes. Every day for the next two weeks, they hiked across the desert, searching for the fossils of ancient animals.

Late at night,lying in their sleeping bags,they looked up at the cold black sky. They talked about the time they had camped in the past.

As Jim and Danny had back then, they started to laugh. They couldn’t stop. The years between them fell away. Circles reconnected. They were boys again.
