Mrs Harris wanted to hold a big party. She was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, "Party: 6:00 to 8:30 p. m.".
"That isn't very nice, is it?" he said. "You are telling our guests that they must go home at 8:30 p. m." So Mrs Harris just wrote, "Party: 6:30 p. m.".
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they didn't go home at 8:30 p.m. In fact, they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, "You must stop making noise because someone has complained."
Mr Harris said he didn't want to quarrel(吵架) with the policeman, so everybody went home. They were sorry to have to go.
When Mr and Mrs Harris were alone again, she said to him, "That was a surprise, wasn't it? Who complained about the noise?"
"I did," Mr Harris answered in a tired voice.
Hi! I'm Harry. Life used to be a little difficult for me. The muscles in my arms and1are weak. I have to be in a wheelchair all day.

Carrying everything I need for school is a problem too.
Now things are4 . I have a helping hand. Pete is a golden dog that has been trained to help kids like me. Pete had been at dog training school for two years to learn5to do different tasks. I had to be trained too. I had to learn how to give Pete instructions and how to take 6 of him.
When Pete is working, he doesn't play around. My friends don't pet him or call him when he is working. He can pull my wheelchair and pick up things I drop. Pete carries my books and lunch on his back. He 7 the button on the school lift and opens some kinds of doors. He even knows how to switch lights on.
But best of all, Pete is here when I need a friend.

Last week, our family went to the countryside to have a picnic. We brought several sandwiches and some bottles of water with us, Of course we didn't forget to take some fruit and we even took some tomatoes and cucumbers(黄瓜).
We started out quite early before there was too much traffic. After two hours of driving, we came to a nice place. It was the foot of a hill with some large trees and a river beside it. As it was a very hot day, we parked(停) the car under a big tree, and went for a swim in the river. The water was refreshing (提神的). After having a swim, we had lunch in the cool shade(阴凉处) under the trees.
After lunch, we went for a walk. We saw some beautiful birds and butterflies.
We smelled sweet air. After walking for about an hour, we returned(返回) to the car.
However, we couldn't get the car started. Finally we had to push(推) the car to the road arid wait for help. Of course, the car's breaking down spoilt(破坏) our picnic in the end.
