Once when I was a child, my father and I were waiting to buy tickets for the circus(馬戲團). Finally, here was only one family between the ticket office and us.

There were eight children in this family and they were all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns(小丑).It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.

The ticket lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, "Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adults 'tickets, so I can take my family to the circus."

The ticket lady told him the price.

The man's wife lowered her head. There wasn't a smile on the man's face any more. He quietly asked, How much did you say?"

The ticket lady again told him the price

The man didn't have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?

Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped(丟) it on the ground(we were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the back and said, "Excuse me, sir, you dropped this"

The man understood my father was helping him. He held the note and looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied, "Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family."

2.Why was the poor man unhappy after he spoke with the ticket lady?

C.Because the tickets were too expensive.

D.Because he didn't have money at all.

B.Because he wanted to ask for help.

If you have a pet like many people, you care for it as if it was your child. Meeting its needs and wants is an important part of your life, because you want it to be happy. However, there is one thing that it needs but cannot tell you about: that is music. There are a few reasons why your pet should listen to music.

Many pet owners play some music for their pets, because this can help their pets to feel better when they are at work. Most people are out throughout the day, and leave their pets alone at home. To make their pets feel comfortable and safe, they try playing some music before they leave the house. This works on all pets and makes even the most relaxed pet more comfortable to be alone at home.

You might have to change the music to see what kind of music is best for your pet. If you want to calm your pet down, you will need to play soft music instead of(代替) hard rock or hip-hop music, which might make your pet excited.

Also, you need to know that different pets respond(反應) differently to music. Hard rock music has also been found to work well to calm some pets down. And piano music works well on most pets, but it works best on cats.

1.Why do you need to meet your pet's needs and wants?

_____________________________________________

2.What can you do to make your pet feel comfortable before you leave the house?

_____________________________________________

3.How do you find the best music for your pet?

_____________________________________________

4.Which kind of music should you usually play if you want to calm your pet down?

______________________________________________

5.What do you think of the idea of playing music for pets? (請自擬一句話作答)

______________________________________________

It’s not easy to see a team get 11 straight wins in a tournament(錦標賽). However, the Chinese women’s volleyball team has done it!

On September 29th, 2019, China won the Women’s Volleyball World Cup trophy(獎杯) in Japan. China won the gold medal with perfect 11-0 record. It was also the team’s 10th world title. “The trophy is the best gift to celebrate the 70th birthday of New China,” People’s Daily said in an article.

People always follow the women’s volleyball as an example and learn from their spirit of never giving up.

Working hard was key to the team’s success. The World Cup was played in several different cities and team didn’t have much time to train. But they trained hard as soon as possible. On September 25th, for example, they arrived in Osaka at 2:30 p.m. and started training only an hour later.

Never giving up, especially during difficult times, is also part of the team’s fighting spirit, according to head coach Lang Ping. Many of the team’s members kept on playing even after being injured.
