Frank and his friends used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which he wasn’t able to explain.
They were always camping in a place above a river. After that, they all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, they noticed that it was surrounded (包围) by cliffs. If someone wanted to reach the river, he had to walk past their camp. Several days later, their camping leader had to be away for a day. That afternoon, they had supper early. They were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when an old man walked past and went down towards the river. They all felt that man looked very frightening. Each of them kept silent and said nothing.
They ate very slowly, talking as long as possible. After finishing, they collected their plates together so that they could take them to the river where they always washed them. But no one moved towards the river. Then all shouting at once, they began talking about the man who had walked past them. They agreed that how strange he looked and they wondered what he was doing by the river. They knew that he could only return by passing through their camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested they should creep down by the river so that they could see what he was doing. Moving very slowly, they crept down (蹑手蹑脚) towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree and he could see everything clearly. He called to them that there was no one there, so they ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. They could not understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark, they went back to their camp feeling unbelievable. They told the leader what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he suggested they go and look again. They did, but there was no one there.

My name is Alston. When I was alone at home, I was more excited than afraid. My parents had gone for an invitation and left me behind. I was feeling free like a bird. I had some snacks, then sat on the sofa and began reading a storybook.
About an hour later, I decided to take a break. It was 7:30 pm. My favourite TV show would start in half an hour. Having found something to eat in the kitchen. I returned to the living room, where I became a couch potato and started watching my favourite show on time. As I was watching excitedly, the lights went off. “What bad luck!” I thought to myself. And I felt a bit afraid in darkness.
Suddenly, I heard a loud knock on the door. My heart skipped (跳) a beat. I nervously looked out of the peehole (门镜), but could not see anyone. Then again another loud knock! I immediately phoned my best friend who lived on the first floor. At the same time, I tried to calm down and decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, something ran into the room quickly. It looked like some kind of animal, maybe one or two. I ran downstairs to call my friend and was relieved (放心的) to see him climbing up the stairs.
We both entered the room carefully and heard some noise in the kitchen. We looked inside slowly and saw two monkeys sitting on the kitchen table. Not knowing what to do, we decided to call the police.
Soon the lights went on again and the police arrived, along with two workers from the zoo. When the workers caught one of them, the other one ran out of the window.
My parents hurried back at about ten, and after they heard the whole story, they were happy to see that I was safe.

Once upon a time, there was a very old man called Yu Gong. He lived with his family in a village and there were two big and high mountains near his house. They spent a long time getting to the other side.
One day, Yu Gong told his family that they must move the mountains to the other places. Hearing that, everyone in his family was laughing at him. One of his sons said, “Are you kidding?” “No, I’m serious and all of you must do it with me.” Everyone was in silence (沉默) at that time. They really didn’t want to do it, but they had to. Because the oldest man in the family was the most important person at that time.
The next day everyone in Yu Gong’s family started to dig the mountains. They put the stones and the earth into the sea. One day a man saw Yu Gong and his children digging the mountains. He told Yu Gong he would never do it. But Yu Gong said although he was weak and would die, his family could continue to move the mountains. Then they kept on digging day after day and year after year.
