You asked me how to make fruit salad in your email. Here is one way.
What we need: fruits, condensed milk（炼乳）,sugar, ice-cream.
Steps:
Wash all the fruits and cut them into pieces, then put them into a big bowl. Pour condensed milk into the bowl. Then you can add a little sugar. Mix them well and place the bowl in the fridge to cool. Take it out in 10 minutes and add a spoon of ice cream. You can enjoy the fruit salad now.
Tips（提示）：
If you can’t find condensed milk, add enough sugar to the fresh milk, mix them well and pour it over the fruits.
Make sure you choose foods that are not too sweet.
This is a great dish for kids who don’t like to eat fruits.
If you have an unexpected visitor and don’t have much time to make a snack（小吃）, the salad will help you.
Yours,
Lisa

Do you often see a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun thing that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.
You will need:
one piece of heavy colored paper
five ribbons
strong tape（胶带）
a string（细绳，线）
a pencil
What to do:
Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.
Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges（边缘）over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.
Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull（拉）the string through both holes. Then tie（绑，系）the ends of the string together.
Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.
Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang（悬挂）it outside and watch it dance around on its own!

Setting off（出发） in February 2018, the two traveled to 11 countries, such as Germany, Sweden, England and Italy, in 8 months.
“Traveling was the most fantastic experience（经历）in my life,” said Dylan. And he was especially happy to be able to travel with his best friend who was always by his side. “We followed the sun across the world and camped under the stars in fun places.”
Dylan finished a book about his travel called Before Our Adventures months ago. “The book is all about how you can take anything bad and turn it into something really good,” said Dylan. “Everyone is able to do that.”

7 . A man was fishing on the bank of a river. A boy came to see him fishing. The man was really good at fishing and he could catch a full basket of fish in a short time. The man saw that the boy was very cute and he wanted to give him a whole basket of fish. but the boy shook his head. The man was surprised and asked, “Why don't you want the fish?”
The boy replied, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.”
The man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”
“I will eat up all the fish in the basket soon, but if I have the fishing rod, I can use it to catch a lot of fish by myself.”
Many people will certainly say the boy is very smart. Wrong! If he doesn't know fishing skills, he cannot catch fish with a fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod; fishing skills are more important than having a fishing rod.
Many people want to have a “fishing rod” in their lives. They are just like the boy. They thought that if they had a fishing rod, they would have fish to eat. Life is full of exciting things. We should try to learn fishing skills instead of having a fishing rod.

| A．smart | B．silly | C．wrong | D．dull |
