Seven cats are best friends. They live in the same town. They always go1together on Saturdays. Every time one of them picks a place to go.
Today, a2named Mimi should pick a place, but she doesn't give3calls to her friends. The other cats are angry. They all go to Mimi's house and ask her, "You give us no call. 4?" Mimi hears this and begins to cry. She5, "I will move to a new house with my 6. It is in another town. I can't go shopping with you again. " Her friends hear that and talk for a long time. Then they have an idea. "Don't 7. We will go to that town and do the shopping 8your new house. " Mimi is very happy. She jumps high.
Two days later, Mimi comes to her friends and says, "I don't9to move. My father finds a new job here in this town. " Her friends are happy too. They still go shopping together on10.
When I was young, my father used to grow carnations — a kind of flower that was red, pink and white. He took care of them with much love and devotion (挚爱). When he came home from work every day, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, "No one should touch my flowers. "
One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved Dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnations from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged them on the ground. She believed that Dad would be very pleased to see them that way. When Mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely speechless. However, my sister didn't know why no one showed her any appreciation (欣赏). When Dad came back, he went straight to watch the flowers as usual. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was surprised at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbor's children who could have done it. Then he looked at Mom in silence. Finally Mom, who always taught us to tell the truth, said, "No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence. " Dad's face changed into a smile and then he said, "Do I have better flowers than my lovely daughter?" My younger sister smiled and hugged Dad strongly.
These days, a new kind of restaurant is becoming popular. People who go there can not only enjoy their meals, also can enjoy playing computer games and have fun with their family and friends on line. uWink is the restaurant's name. It is in Los Angeles, and it's about fun and food.
In uWink, there are no waiters or waitresses around you. The screens have replaced(取代) them. You can order the food you want by touching the screen in front of you and runners will bring it to the tables. You can also play video games with the people at the next table.The screens can show music videos,movies and so on.But mainly they are used to show video games.
It's an interactive(互动的) restaurant where you will control your meal and your fun. The service is fast and the runners know clearly where to go.There will be no waiting for a waiter, and no misunderstandings(误解) in the kitchen. Different kinds of food are served at any time of day. uWink is a place which hosts "room games", where every table in the restaurant can have a video game competition at the same time.
The owner of the restaurant hopes that uWink can make it easy for people to be interactive, have fun and enjoy a delicious meal.
