Jim: Dad, can I hang out with my friends after lunch?
Dad: Sorry, Jim, you have to pack up your things first.
Jim: But I want to spend time with them before we move.
Dad: I know, but we need to get ready before the movers come. Can you
sort your things into those boxes?
Jim: OK. After that, could I go out?
Dad: Yes. Remember to write “Jim’s bedroom” on each box!
Jim: No problem, Dad.

Jim: I love our new house. The living room is so big! Could we keep

Section B 1b
Going Home for the Spring Festival
"It's almost the Spring Festival. Can we go to Hainan for the holiday,
Dad?"
"Not this time," Dad answered with a smile. "We're going to your
mum's hometown!"
Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the
morning to catch the train. The train journey took more than seven hours,
and then we changed to a bus to get to my grandparents' village in the
evening. At the end of the road, I saw Grandpa and my little cousin
standing in the cold wind waiting for us. We walked quickly to greet
them.
Grandpa helped us pull the heavy luggage into the house.
"Ah, home again," said Mum with a smile on her face. Grandma, my
aunt, and my uncle were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They were
very happy to see us. After a little while, my parents went to the kitchen
to help.
"Could you bring Wenwen her favourite snacks?" Grandma asked
Grandpa.
公众号：优乐乐学习乐源 更多资料添加微信：ccqq0108I shared the snacks with my cousin and told Grandpa about school.
He was happy to hear I was doing well at school. When dinner was ready,
I asked, "Can I help?"
"You can set the table," Dad said.
We then enjoyed all the delicious food.
"Mom, the familiar taste of home!" said Mum.
During the dinner, my uncle told us some jokes and we had a good
laugh.
Several days later when we were leaving, Grandma held my hands
and asked us , "Will you come home more often?"
Mum nodded, with tears in her eyes.

Anne's Decision
(Adapted from Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables)
Anne was adopted by Marilla when she was little. They lived happily
together on a farm called Green Gables. Now Anne is going to a
university out of town. But Marilla gets sick...
Anne came back and found Marilla sitting by the kitchen table. She
looked tired.
"Are you OK, Marilla?"
"I saw the doctor," Marilla said sadly. "But it's no good talking about it,
公众号：优乐乐学习乐源 更多资料添加微信：ccqq0108Anne. Can you get me a cup of tea?"
"Could you tell me what the doctor said?" Anne asked softly as she
brought tea to Marilla.
"He said I must give up all reading, sewing, and farming, or I will go
blind."
"Marilla, don't think of it," said Anne. "There is still hope."
"I don't know," said Marilla. "I'm afraid I have to sell Green Gables."
Anne was surprised. "Oh, Marilla, you can't! It's our home!"
"What else can I do, Anne? I'm sorry you won't have a home to come to
during your university holidays." Marilla began to cry.
That night, Anne sat in the darkness, alone with her tears and heavy heart.
But before long, there was a smile on her lips, and peace in her heart.
The next day, she spoke with Marilla. "You mustn't sell Green Gables. I'm
going to teach here. I can't leave you alone, Marilla. I'll read to you. We'll
be happy together."
"Oh, Anne, you can't do that for me."
"But I want to! Nothing is worse than giving up our home."
"But your dreams..."
"My dreams are the same: to be a good teacher and to help you stay
healthy. Nobody loves Green Gables as we do. We must keep it."
Most people, not knowing about Marilla's eyes, thought Anne was
foolish. Mrs Lynde, their neighbour, did not. She often found Anne and

the smell of flowers filled the air.
