    Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Rakesh, he studied and lived in a boarding school(寄宿学校). Every night he jumped over the wall and played outside. He1returned before dawn (黎明) and lay on his bed again, so no one knew that Rakesh went out at night .

    One night as usual, Rakesh found everyone asleep. He decided to play outside again. He went into his teacher—Mrs. Green's room 2 and saw her3 . Then Rakesh walked out towards the wall. Near the wall, there was a ladder in the bushes, he hid it there. He took out the ladders and he climbed up it , then jumped over the wall.4at that time his teacher was awake and saw him going out.

    She got up and took away the ladder5the wall. A few hours 6, Rakesh returned. In the dark, he tried to climb 7 from the wall. Sadly, there was no ladder, instead, Mrs. Green was standing where the ladder was and waited for him. Rakesh was very8to be punished (处罚), but to his surprise, she just helped Rakesh to get onto the ground , said, "Rakesh, at least9a warm coat with you when you go out at night."

    Mrs. Green's10made Rakesh know his own faults. He apologized (道歉) and never went out at night again.

    Today more and more cars go into families. Which car is the best for people? Different people have different ideas.

    Some people like the bright colour car made in China. It's really a good choice(选择). The bright colour car made in China is cheap, nice and safe. This kind of cars is fit for the general income (收入一般的) family.

    Some people love famous foreign cars like Japanese cars, American cars and German cars. They're good but too expensive. But most people think famous foreign cars of better quality are better in safety. These are fit for the high income family or for business.

    Some people like sports cars, because they're fast and exciting. Some sports cars are very nice but very expensive. Only rich people can afford them.

    Some people like travelling, so they need a travel car. Travel cars are comfortable. But they use much oil(油).

    What's the best car for us? Maybe it's a new and popular topic in life.

    There have been many comparisons (比较) made between London Underground and New York Subway. They are the best known public transport systems (公共交通运输系统) in the world and each is a key part of one of the greatest cities of the world. The two systems have many things in common(相同), including their ages and fame（名声）, but there are also important differences.

    The following table shows some of the similarities (类似）and differences.

    On his first day he was inside a church taking photos when he noticed a golden telephone on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call". Jay wasintriguedso he asked a priest (牧师) what the telephone was used for. The priest told him that it was a direct (直接的) line to heaven（天堂） and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. Jay thanked the priest and went along his way.

    Next stop was in Des Moines, and there at a very large church, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it. A nearby nun（修女）told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

    Jay decided to travel to Australia to see if they had a similar phone. He arrived at Western Australia, and again, in the church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40 cents per call."

    Jay was a little surprised and asked the priest about the sign. 'Father（神父） Brian, I travelled all over the world and I saw this same golden telephone in many churches. I know it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?'

    Father Brian smiled and answered, 'My son, you're in Australia now - this is Heaven, so it's only a local call.'

—Yes. Someone found its cold body in the street.

—Yes. He won't get        in this city because he almost knows everywhere.

—Sorry. Someone is sleeping.
