Dottie's Thanksgiving Dinner
Dottie, a puppy, knew today was special. It was Thanksgiving and everyone was getting ready for a big dinner. The doorbell kept ringing as cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts all came to visit.
Amazing smells were coming from the kitchen. Dottie was not allowed to be in the kitchen today. Mom said that she would get in the way. Dad said she would lick (舔) everything she could reach. They were both right.
The children had been asked to keep the dog out of the way. They did, at first. However, once their cousins arrived, they forgot about Dottie and started playing with each other. The dog got closer and closer to the kitchen. Everything smelled so good! On the edge of the table was a plate filled with slices of ham (火腿) . Before she had a chance to eat it, Dad saw her.
“No! Leave that alone, Dottie! No food for you,” he said. Then he let the dog out into the yard where some family members were playing football. Dottie smiled. This was good! She liked running. She grabbed (抓住) the football from a small boy and wouldn’t give it back. He started to cry, and Dottie got in trouble.
“That's enough, Dottie,” said Uncle Bill, taking the ball away from her. “Maybe you should go back in.” He opened the door again, and the sad puppy went inside.
The puppy went into the dining room and no one was there. Dottie went under the table. The tablecloth was so long that it hung down to the ground. This was a good place for a sleep, she thought.
In the kitchen, everything was ready. Mom and Dad began carrying big bowls and plates of delicious food into the dining room. “Before we get started, we should take a family picture,” suggested Mom. Dad agreed. They went to tell everyone to go outside for a Thanksgiving photo together.
Dottie's nose woke up before she did. She came out from under the table. She looked around. The house was empty. She remembered what Dad had said. “No food for you.” He was wrong.

今年暑假，我和我的家人一起去美国旧金山体验多元文化(diverse cultures)。导游告诉我这座美丽的城市确实(definitely) 被1906年发生(occur)的一场可怕的地震摧毁过。我们的第一站是传教区(the Mission District)，这里以漫画艺术(comic art)著名。第二站是当地的一家博物馆，在那里我了解到淘金热(gold rush)始于旧金山。许多中国人来到(head to)这里闯世界(seek their fortune)，为了谋生(earn a living)他们做了一系列(a series of)的工作，并定居(settle)了下来。第三站是唐人街，我去了一家爵士酒吧(jazz bar)，并选(select)了一家广东餐馆就餐。总之，我不得不承认(admit)我在那里真的玩得非常高兴。
