— Yes. We are going to visit the red boat on South Lake in Jiaxing next week.
I was going to buy some fruits and medicine for my headache. After I parked my car, I went into the market. It wasn't as 1as I had expected. Only a few people were shopping in it.
In the market, I saw a little girl2 in a shopping cart（车）. She looked to be9months old with blond curly hair and blue eyes.
She was such a lovely girl that I couldn't3my eyes away. Then I did what I always do with children: I gave her my best smile. I may have looked a bit 4, but it came from my heart.
I've learned that everyone 5a smile sometimes, even strangers at the market in a rush to get home.
She took her time deciding just 6to deal with my smile. But finally she smiled. I laughed and waved（挥手）goodbye. And she blew me a kiss.
That put a smile on my face and then I got a smile in7from every shopper I passed. I was still smiling when I got home and8I'd forgotten to get medicine. Luckily, I didn't need it. My headache was gone.
Want to change the world? Try smiling. In that simple 9of everyone's smiles, this tiring world would become a better place.
10you're lucky, you'll be blown a kiss and it maybe make your headache go away.

Sleepwalking（梦游）is when your child gets out of bed and walks around as if he's awake, but he's actually asleep. Sleepwalking doesn't hurt your child, and it usually disappears when the kid grows up.
Sleepwalking happens during deep sleep. Your child might get out of bed and walk around as if he's awake, but he won't respond normally to you or anything around him. This may make you upset. But try not to worry—your child is OK.
In fact, sleepwalking is quite common. 7% to 15% of children sleepwalk, and it doesn't usually mean that there's anything wrong with them. Children aged 4 to 12 are more likely to sleepwalk. Both boys and girls sleepwalk.
Sleepwalking often happens in the first few hours of the night. When it happens, your child's mind is asleep. However, his body is awake at the same time.
Sleepwalking usually has something to do with age and development. However, some things can increase your child's sleepwalking. For example:
•Bad habits that cause poor sleep
•Fever or some other illnesses
•A family history of sleepwalking
• Medical conditions that cause poor sleep
If your child is sleepwalking at least once every night, it's best to see a doctor. Also see a doctor if your child's sleepwalking is influencing the sleep of other family members, or if you 're worried your child might hurt himself while sleepwalking.
It was not easy to learn different kinds of musical instruments well at the same time. I still remembered when I took my piano lessons, my mother said worriedly to my father, "Why hasn't he made any progress with so much practice?'' I tried to play the piano better. However, my parents never got a strong feeling of satisfaction with my piano performance.
From then on, I didn't play any musical instrument until my old friend Larry invited me to play the violin with him when I was 60. It made me enjoy the joy of playing music again. One day, Larry asked me to take part in a violin performance with him. At first, thinking of my past, I wanted to refuse. 1 expected to hear his words that I would become more skilled with practice on stage（舞台）,But he said, "OK, only play if you want to," I was shocked by the unexpected answer.
In fact, nobody made me do it, so I had to make a choice by myself. I was willing to catch the chance this time. After a long and careful preparation, I played the violin with Larry. Though I didn't lose all my nervousness, it was enough for me to overcome my fear. Finally, I offered a full performance in front of the audience（观众）.
However, happy times always didn't last long, my friend Larry passed waay. It was a hard hit, but his influence stayed. It helped me not only in music, but on all sides of my life. Whenever I paid attention to what I wanted to do, joy usually took the place of fear.
There are certain foods which should never be stored（储存）in the fridge. Some of them may surprise you.
The cold temperature will make it hard. If you have made sandwiches with the bread, then you can store them in it.
We all love to have tomatoes. The cold air in the fridge stops the ripening（成熟）process. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste. For best results, keep them out.
It needs no help from us. Putting it in your fridge will in fact increase the speed of the crystallization（结晶）. This will make honey harder or nearly impossible to use.
If you haven't opened your watermelons, then there's no need to put them in your fridge. Research has shown that watermelons can be stored in room temperature. Watermelons that have been cut open should be put in the fridge. What's more, they should be covered.
Cucumber（黄瓜）enjoys room temperature.Cool temperature can make cucumber's skin（表皮）go bad faster, so find a dry and cool place at room temperature for your cucumber.

All the runners stood nervously at the starting line. All of them had prepared (they) for this important race.
The race meant more to a boy named Bill, because most of the other runners had greater speed. Could Bill realize his dream of being "all-school"runner? He would have to finish in the top 5 to win that honor.
Bill's life（fill）with disappointment. Primary school had been a long nightmare（噩梦） for him. Of all the reading skills, he even couldn't pick up(basic) one, although he had tried many times. Bill did not complain（报怨）. He simply tried hard. But in the following years he was till unable to catch up with his classmates.
Then one day his teacher called us ina conversation. She said, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Bill isn't trying anymore. He has given it up(complete). "I became very sad and afraid. I was afraid Bill might have forever lost heart.
I had a talk with Bill. I told him about my own experiences. I said, "I was the slowest one in my class in primary school, my parents and teachers were loving and understanding. Because of that, I made it through those years and finally went on to a music school. Now, you know, I'm a (piano). We think achievements come easily to others. Life usually isn't like that. The person who (success)is usually only a few percent. "Bill said, "Dad, I guess that not doing so well isn't all that bad if someone loves you and stands by you.
In the (nine) grade, Bill went out for the race again.
