4 . Herbie could hardly stay in his seat. A jazz musician had come to speak to the class today, and Herbie had so many questions for him. The visitor was a short man with a wide-brimmed hat and a colorful suit. Herbie’s teacher introduced the visitor as Terrence Harris, a clarinet (单簧管) player. “I’m sure the students will enjoy hearing about your music, Mr.Haris.” she said.
“Please,” said the man, “call me Terry.”
Terry talked for a few minutes about music in general. Then he began talking about jazz, and his whole face lit up. He described what was unique (独特的) about jazz music, and be explained how he had become a professional (职业的) clarinet player. After a while, he asked the class if they had any questions. Herbie raised his hand.
“What’s the best way to become a jazz musician?” Herbie asked.
Terry laughed. “First, find a musical instrument that lets you breathe music through it. Next, practice that instrument every day for the rest of your life.”
Herbie’s eyes opened wide. “I want to start practicing right now!” he shouted, jumping out of his chair.
“That’s the spirit!” Terry said. “But why don’t you wait until after school? Jazz players need to get good grades, too. When I was a young man, I didn’t think much of school.”
“Really? What do you mean?” Herbie asked as he settled in his seat again.
“Yes, really,” Terry replied. “It all began when I was eleven years old…”

5 . I dream of being a fireman someday
Saving families from the flames
What a good job that will be
Fighting fires every day
Many people will thank me
For carrying them away from danger
Mothers and children, sons and uncles
Will always want to meet me
In a fire, they will need me
Happy to help with hands and hose
Climbing ladders to the windows
There I will be, to rescue

Goldfish are good pets. They are easy to care for. But they need the right home. Fish need more than a bowl. They are too small. Goldfish belong in tanks. A tank is better than a bowl. It holds more water. Your fish will have more room.
First, choose a place for the tank. Pick a safe spot. Put it where it will not fall. Do not put it near a window. The water will get too warm.
Next, add tiny rocks. Put in plants. You can add toy ships. These make good hiding places. Fish like hiding.
Finally, add water. Wait before adding your fish. Check that the water stays clean. Buy a pump. It cleans the water. Dirty water makes fish sick.
Now you can add your fish! You will bring it home in a bag. The bag will be filled with water. Let the bag float in the tank. The fish will get used to the tank. Then, open the bag. The fish will swim out!
Buy food for your fish. Do not feed it too much! Extra food makes the water dirty. It sinks to the bottom. Just give your fish what it can eat.
Put a cover on the tank. This keeps the fish safe. Nothing can fall into the tank. Your fish cannot jump out. If the cover has a light, you can watch your fish at night.
Each week the tank needs to be cleaned. Take out some old water. Add new water. Scrape the walls of the tank if they look dirty. But do not worry. It does not have to be spotless.
Just keep the water clean. Your fish will be happy!

9 . “Tammy! Come here, please! Mother needs your help in the kitchen.” Her father called out to her.
Tammy was in her room, getting ready to do her homework. “Yes, Daddy!” She replied. “I’ll be right there.” She hurried out of her bedroom and down the hallway (过道). She was only nine years old. Her elder sister, Ella, had just moved away to go to a performing art high school in another city. Her brother, Harry, was in middle school and always got home late. With Ella leaving home, Tammy was expected to do a lot more than she had ever done before, especially now, because her mother was ill.
Her father was in the kitchen. “Tammy, I know you usually do your homework right now, but with things being different, we all have to change a little bit. I’ll help you and Harry with your homework later on, OK?”
Her father had an apron (围裙) on over his clothes, and he looked kind of funny. He was doing the dishes and he always splashed (溅出) water all over when he did that. After helping her father with the dishes, Tammy helped set the table.
After supper, her father helped her and Harry with their homework, and then they played a board game so that their mother could lie down for a while.
The next morning, Tammy got up early on her own because she wanted to help her mother with breakfast. She made orange juice and even put bread in the toaster and got out the butter so that her mother could sleep for a few more minutes. When her mother got up half an hour later, she was very surprised and moved to see the breakfast on the dining table. She gave Tammy a big hug.”Thank you, Tammy.
