Penny is Sherman's classmate. On the first day of school, Penny and Sherman get into a fight. In order to s their problem and get on well with Penny, Sherman lets Penny have a look at the timetraveling machine. His father, Peabody m this machine. However, the trouble begins when the kids take it for a joy ride. It causes lots of p in some of history's most important moments. After this travel, Penny realizes a lot of things a herself.

There's a lot of time travel and a lot of funny things like Peabody g into one of Da Vinci's (达·芬奇) paintings— that is really funny. It's a great cartoon for both adults and c. I think people will learn a lot about history by watching this cartoon. It's really a wonderful film.
Sarah was an American girl. She was studying abroad in England. One day, she heard a song full of feelings about （返回）home on the radio. It made her think about her family and friends back in the US. Since then, she has been a fan of American （乡村）music. Country is a （传统的）kind of music from the （南方的）states of America. Tennesses is the （故乡）of country music. Country music brings us back to the "good old days". It （使……想起）us that the best things in life are free. It's Sarah's （梦）to go there one day because she likes Garth Brooks-one of the most （成功的）musicians in American history, he has sold more than 120 million （唱）. She hoped to see him sing （现场表演）one day.
Do you know what the world's tallest animals are? How do they sleep and drink? You may think they have （困难）while sleeping but actually giraffes don't often stop to （休息）. As they are so tall that they can grow up to 18 feet and need the shortest sleep of all mammals, with an average of half an hour a day. When they fall （睡着）, they hardly lie down and sleep for minutes at a time, because it's hard for them to get up again from the （地面）and it's dangerous in the wild. But the giraffe in the zoo sleeps around 4-6 hours a day, （主要地）at night. Drinking water is also hard for the giraffe because of the long （脖子）. To drink, they must spread the legs in an uncomfortable way and if so they will be easily caught by other animals. So, they get most of water from plants to （保护）themselves.

Most students in our class like to bring lunch from home to school because we can ask our parents to (装满) our lunch boxes with our favorite food. All of us think it is (更干净) and good for our (健康). We always share food at lunch time. Some share their fried chicken and I share my fish.
One day, I (发现) out why William was always alone and had lunch in (无声；寂静). His lunch box almost carries the same food everyday—some vegetables, fried eggs and a piece of ham. He told me his mother died two years ago. And (自……以来) then, his father has prepared lunch for him in person, although he is not good at (做饭). From then on, I have shared my lunch box with him, and we are very good friends now.

His love of reading and writing encouraged many people who are not physically (身体上) (健康的). In Mattie's words, "We must remember to play after every storm and to celebrate the gift of life as we have it. We must always listen to the song in our (心), and share that song with others."

Dear Grandma，
How's it going? I （希望）that Grandpa is well now. I was （难过的）to hear that he had a cold last week. I hope you are in good （健康）. Things are fine here. I finished my end-of-year （考试）last week and got my report （单子，卡）today. I always get （紧张的）when I see the envelope from school in the mail，but luckily I did OK this time. I had a really hard time with science this semester，and I wasn't （惊讶的）to find that my worst report was from my science teacher. She said I was lazy，which isn't true. It's just that I find science really difficult. Another （令人失望的）result was in history. My history teacher said I could do better. The good news is that my math teacher said I was （努力的）. And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good.
Well，that's about all the news I have now. Mom and Dad （送）their love.
Love，
Alan
Some say that madness and genius（天才）often come hand in hand. This is （特别）true of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh（梵高）.
Van Gogh is famous for his （令人惊讶的）use of color and shape. （出生）in 1853, he was painting at a time when art was changing and his （决定）were changing. A long time ago, artists made a living by making their paintings look like real photos. But later on, art became more about the artists' own ideas. If you see a Van Gogh's painting, it won't look like the real world. It will look even more beautiful at （至少）.
Some of Van Gogh's most famous paintings are of （自然界的）scenes and flowers, such as Sunflowers. Although he had such gifts, he was a troubled man. At one point, he cut off his ear without thinking （别人）.
Van Gogh is now one of the world's most famous artists. Some rich people have （已经）collected his paintings. But he died at the age of 37, （单独的）and poor. Almost nobody knew or cared about or even （复制）his art at that time. He was such a genius, but he had a hard life. Some say that his madness was the price he paid for his art.
Last week. students at Bridge School worked hard to make their English Week a big (成功). There was an English book fair in the library and a (宝藏)hunt. Some students put on an English play. Other students took part in an English singing competition. There was also a speaking competition. The students had to speak on a topic in English for (二)minutes.

We interviewed the winner, Henry. "I'm so happy that l won," he said. "If we want to be good public speakers, we'd better speak slowly, clearly and confidently. It (取决)on our choice." Mary, another winner, said, "I (练习)speaking English since l was seven. I've been enjoying English Week. That's(酷的)! It gave me a chance to speak English. In my opinion, (也许)our school should have more (活动) like English Week."
On the last day of the English Week we invited the headmaster to give a speech to the whole school. He said the English Week was (有帮助的) for students to improve the ability of communicating in English. It's well worth doing.
