As more Americans try to have healthy lifestyles and protect the environment, the
idea of growing their own food has become popular among city people. Not long
ago, a city gardening meeting, Rooting DC, took place in Washington, D.C. Many
organizations and people got together to support the food movement.
Katie, one of the main organizers of Rooting DC, says people can get free
seeds(种子) if they take part in the one-day gardening meeting. According to Katie,
the aim of Rooting D.C. is to teach people gardening and develop more gardens all
across the city.
Katie says, “People realize that gardening is a way to bring healthy foods into their
lives. They become interested in gardening because of that. Growing worry about the
environment has also worked. We not only grow food, but protect the environment
through gardening.”
Several organizations that encourage school children to grow fruits and vegetables
in healthy ways also ran classes at Rooting DC. Scott, a college student, who came
with his friends, says, “I am really interested in gardening. Certainly I know how to
find local food, but I want to grow the food on my own and encourage others to do
so.”
Ann came to get information for her daughter. “We started a garden together at her
school. I need to find out more resources to support school gardens.”
Brian, a computer teacher, says gardening is a hobby that he can enjoy with his
friends. “I am looking forward to getting some seeds since I need new seeds to
exchange with my friends. We’d like to see different plants grow in our gardens.”
The organizers hope that city gardening can become more and more popular not
only in their area but also around the country and even across the world.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You 75
where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down.
It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next
time take a GPS with you.
This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(设备) which uses satellites
to find the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A
GPS cannot start your car, but 76 you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It 77 a
mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes
put into a watch or a telephone.
We 78 find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have
electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you
the name of the street.
There are 79 parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the
receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The
second part is a group of satellites turning around the Earth. The receiver contacts
more than four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the
system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the
satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile.
They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. There are also new uses for
the GPS. 80 they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will
never be lost again.

Butterfly fairy
There was once a little girl. She had no family, and no one loved her. One day,
when she was walking through a field, she noticed
a small butterfly c 81 in a thorn bush（荆刺丛）.
The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the
deeper the thorns cut into its body. The little girl c
82 let go the butterfly. Instead of going away, the
butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy.
“For your kindness,” the butterfly fairy said to the
little girl, “I will give you any w 83 you would
like to have.”
The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be h 84 .”
The fairy said, “Very good.” Then she got close to the girl’s ear and said
something to her in a low voice.
As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the village s 85 happy as she.
Everyone asked the secret of her happiness. She would smile and only answer, “The
secret of my happiness is that I listened to a butterfly fairy when I was a little girl.”
When she was very old, the neighbours all came to visit her. They were a 86 that
her secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “tell us
what the fairy said.”
The old woman smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, old or young, poor
or rich, beautiful or ugly, n 87 me. She said that always helping others would make

For this little boy, it was the coldest winter. In that winter, his father had an
accident and lost a leg. The family no longer had money to live on. From then on, his
father became another person. When the boy didn’t listen to him, he would be very
angry.
One night, the boy walked lonely on the street. He passed a lovely small shop,
which was so nice that he couldn’t turn his eyes away from it. He stared at some
beautiful boxes of coffee quietly. An idea came into his mind. He knew his father
loved coffee and he knew stealing was no good. But all he could think of was his
father’s smile. He soon put a box of coffee into his jacket and ran back home.
He gave the coffee to his father, who gave a smile that the boy had missed for so
long. But, unfortunately, before his father could taste the coffee, the shopkeeper
broke in and caught the boy. He was beaten by his father
again.
Years later, the boy became a successful businessman.
One day, his mother called and said his father wanted to
see him. Busy working, he refused. Weeks later, he heard
the sad news that his father had passed away. When he
went through the relics(遗物), he found a box. Inside it
was the coffee that he had stolen from the shop. On the
cover was his father’s handwriting: “The gift from my
son.” There was also a letter: “Dear son. I’m a failure as a
father. But I also have a dream—to own a coffee shop,where I can make cups of coffee for you. I’m sorry I didn’t make it”
Sadness suddenly came in his mind. He felt so sorry not meeting his father for the
last time, and decided to complete his father’s dream. He stopped his own job at once
and started a coffee business.
The coffee business is now a big success. And the little boy is Howard Schultz—
the owner of Starbucks.

it?

Gail Mirabella is an American woman who likes dogs very much. Because of the
love for dogs, she becomes a dog trainer in a circus. When she was a child, Gail
often trained her dogs to do tricks for fun. At the age of ten, she did her first dogshow. By now, she has done her job for about 14 years.
For Gail, how long it takes her to train a dog well depends on the dog itself. Gail
has thirteen dogs in the circus. To train them better, she tried to make friends with
each one. And Gail spent lots of time on it. Now it seems that all her dogs consider
Gail as their best friend. They get on well with Gail very much.
“Dogs can start to perform the big tricks after they are two years old. As practice, I
made my dogs perform in some small shows when they were as young as eight
months old. At that time, they started to get used to performing before the people
around.” Gail said.
“When the dogs and I travel to different places to perform, I can make friends with
lots of people and see beautiful sights. However, nothing is more wonderful than the
life in the circus, because I can stay with my dogs all the time,” Gail also said
proudly.

Dinner in the Sky
Are you afraid of height? If yes, we are sorry to tell you that you will miss a
wonderful dinner in the sky. Dinner in the sky can of course make an experience that
it is hard for your friends to forget.
In fact, the idea of Dinner in the Sky is developed by a Belgian company. The
dinner is hosted at a table floating at a height of 50 metres. A team of professionals
help make the table safe in the air. Of course, dinner is not the only choice. Breakfast
in the sky, lunch in the sky, meeting in the sky…. Just whatever you want.
What’s more, Dinner in the Sky can take place anywhere. It has been operated in
2
more than 15 countries. If there is an open ground of 500 m , get ready to take
action.
You may wonder whether it is safe to have dinner in the sky. But don’t worry
about that. Dinner in the Sky is a completely safe way to enjoy life. The Belgian
company provides this special service according to safety. It is designed and
examined strictly according to the International Safety Standard. That is probably the
reason why it is still flying in the sky.
So are you getting interested? If you want to have a special memory, try Dinner in
the Sky.
