—You can call me ____ 13911068785 ____ the evening.

—There is a ____ on the street corner.

—I think so, and it is very ____ in cities.

    If you can choose a person as your neighbor, 1 do you want to choose? Maybe you will choose a film star like Brad 2 a rich man like Bill Gates. You may 3 choose a president like Barack Obama. Do you want to know who I want to choose as my     4? It's a detective(侦探)5 Sherlock Holmes.

    In fact, I want to be a detective like him. I think I can 6 a lot from him if I live next to him. 7 his neighbor can make it convenient(方便的) for 8 to learn from him. If I choose to live next to Sherlock Holmes, no bad people can hurt me because they are 9 of him. When I have some trouble, I can run to his house and 10 him for help. What's more, maybe I can have a chance to work with him.

    In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon, the sky will be clear, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be sunny at this time of the day.

    In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.

    When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella(伞) or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret(后悔) later in the day.

    Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, the day when over 46 million turkeys will be at dinner tables all over the USA. There are two lucky turkeys. They are Cobbler and Gobbler. They won't be on the table. They will live happily on George Washington's Mt.

    The 21-week-old birds come from Rockingham County, Virginia. They look the same. But they really have different interests. Cobbler likes pop music, but Gobbler likes classical(古典的) music!

    Now in its 65th year, the turkey pardoning game was started by President Truman. However, this year, President Obama asked people to vote(投票) on Facebook. He wanted to make sure they would like to pardon these two turkeys. But the turkeys know nothing about it. They just want to run away!

    After Thanksgiving Day, the two will leave for their new home. But they have to meet visitors until January 6th, 2012, before going to their new home! We wish Cobbler and Gobbler a long and healthy life.

    It is nice to hike with kids, but you must know something about hiking if you want to take a happy, relaxing trip.

    Start early, know what to do in a heavy rain and carry sunglasses. Take snacks, toilet paper and a bag with you. Take a whistle(口哨) for kids. You may use it if children run away.

    Find a partner. Kids are naturally competitive, and you can use this to your hike. They will try to do better than each other when they go hiking. They also will keep each other interested in something new.

    Do something easy. It's good to play easy games. You can say "Does anybody see anything red that matches my shirt?" Kids will be easy and happy to answer this kind of questions.

    If you aren't excited, they won't be either. When your kids find something they are interested in, you must show your interest in it, too.
