I am an overseas traveler. I work in England now. But I really miss my hometown, Yueqing. Do you hear about Yueqing? It is a small but beautiful town. Seventeen years after leaving it, I decided 1 it last week. I found that it was not the same as before.
When I left the town in 2005, there were only 2 small shops in my home town. Now there is a big supermarket in the south of the town. People can buy many cheaper things there. There wasn't a movie theatre 3 I left the town, but near the supermarket, there is a big movie theatre now. It has very big screens and comfortable seats. People can see great films there.
In the north of the town, there was 4 old and small library, but it is big and beautiful now. And there are more books and magazines in it than before. My neighbors say they go to the library at least 5 a week. Sometimes, there are reading competitions in the library. The 6 can get some books as prizes.
In the center of the town, there are lots of flowers and trees on 7 sides of the streets. There are also many restaurants. I tried different kinds of food. Lao Wu Chinese Restaurant is the best restaurant in town, I think. 8 it has the most delicious food. There is also a good dumpling house. It always 9 people great service.
My home town is pretty beautiful now. I think I should also play a role in making it become 10 .
Last Saturday, I went to the beach with my family. We had a good time there. I 1 a starfish(海星)on the beach. It was white and very beautiful. After getting home the next day, I wanted to learn about starfish. So I began to read the 2 about starfish on the Internet.
Of course, starfish 3 really stars. They just look like stars. They live in the sea, 4 they aren't fish. There are about 1,800 different kinds of starfish 5 in the sea all over the world. Starfish don't live in fresh water. Hundreds of starfish are of different 6 .
The most common starfish are red, orange or yellow.
Starfish can take care of themselves when they are young. Young starfish know 7 to eat, and they know where to find their food, too. Starfish can't swim. They move by using their arms and tube feet(管足). A starfish has no head. A common starfish has five arms. 8 , not all starfish have five arms. Some have many more. If an arm falls off, it grows right back.
Because of all these things, the starfish is 9 favorite animal now. I think it's 10 and fun. I like it best.
I went to the park with my older sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a bench(长椅)when we played games. When we went back to the bench, a little girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She looked like she was 8 or 9 and had long blonde hair. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she got up and walked away. I asked my sister, "Did you have any money in your jacket?" "Yes, Anna, I did." she answer. I said, "Have a quick look in your jacket."
Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there. "That girl stole(偷)it!" I said, and we ran after her. We caught(抓住)her soon. My sister was very angry and she said, "Give me the money!" The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, "You left your money at home. It's on the table in the kitchen. "So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief(小偷)! Maybe she thought we were bad girls.
We felt ▲ .
Please call us if you know this girl. We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her. Our number is 512667. Thank you very much.
Anna and Cathy

Robots are everywhere. They can bespace, into oceans(海洋) and even into volcanoes(火山)! It's to think of the future where robots will do everything humans do.
In the future, robots might see, talk and walk humans. Some scientists say you will even have robotic(机器人的) friends in a few. But if that, robots must be able to think and have feelings(感情). Scientists are robots that can act like animals.
"Today, robots are like actors - they may show their feelings,they don't feel them, scientist Steels says, "I want to change that.?"
"Robots will be more like humans in the future." Steels says. But most of will still only do jobs that humans can't do, or don't want to do. Robots get bored, tired or scared. So they are perfect for working in factories and places.
