On Christmas Eve a few days ago, an English couple, the Hardens, got a very special call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very 1. The Hardens' 15-year-old daughter has gone 2 six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. ＂I'm phoning to wish you a happy Christmas,＂ she said, ＂I love you.＂ Ronals and Edwine Harden were so 3 that they started a special telephone service （服务）called ＂Alive and Well＂. The service helps 4 to get in touch with children who have run away from home.
Young people can phone ＂Alive and Well＂ and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines. So 5 can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are 6 eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through ＂Alive and Well＂ they can telephone their parents and they do not 7 about this or give out their addresses.
The Hardens and their helpers 8 the telephone messages and connect（联系）the addresses given. About 30,000 British teenagers have left home and many of them are probably in 9. For only two pence（便士）they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial 5675339 and 10 a parent worrying: Is he dead or alive?

Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. So people from the countryside go to the city and people from the city go to the countryside for holidays. During holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. Many people take cars or buses for traveling.
Last May Day my family went to the countryside by car for our holiday. It took us about an hour to get out of town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. We thought it was a nice place for a picnic. So we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big tree and began to eat. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip it was!
