It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. If we didn't see any
rain soon, we would lose everything. .
One day when I was in the kitchen, I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards
the forest. He was clearly trying to be as silent as possible.
Several minutes later, he had gone into the forest, he ran out again, towards.
the house. This activity went on for an hour, walking carefully to the
forest and running back to the house. I really wanted to know what Billy
was doing.
Finally I followed him into the forest. I found that he was holding a cup
of water. He walked very carefully not to drop the water.
I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It lifted its head to drink the
water in my son's cup. After the deer drank up, Billy jumped up and ran
back to the house to get more water. When he saw me, he said, "I'm
not wasting. " I found that his eyes were filled with tears.
“I know. " I watched the most beautiful heart working so hard to save
another life.Tears ran down my face. As my tear drops began to hit the
ground, other drops and more drops and more suddenly joined them I
looked up at the sky. It was raining.
Some people would say this was all just a huge coincidence . Those
miracles(奇迹)

believe it was a miracle. All I can say is that the rain that came
that day saved our farm just like the actions of one little boy saved a life.

In Britain you may often hear "Drop in any time" or
"Come to see me soon", but you can't really do that. People
just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone
before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to
an event that says "RSVP", you should reply to let the person who
sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You
may refuse by saying "Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to
come. " If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those
who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there.
Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it
is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a
meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A
thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and
is an appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.

) 51. What can you do when a British friend says " Drop in any
time”?
A. Visit him or her at any time.
B. Say no time to him or her seriously.
C. Telephone him or her before visiting.

Visit him or her soon.
(
) 52. What does the word "RSVP" probably mean in Chinese ?

or her answer.

How to relax
yourself ?
Now many students often feel much pressure. They always feel tired because they
have a lot of homework to do every day.
It’s important
for the students to relax. It keeps your mind clear and make you not be
nervous. There are many kinds of relaxing ways. For example, you can try to
have enough sleep, you can listen to your favorite music. You can also read
some books or do some sports. For me, I often hang out with my friends.
While you are
studying, don’t forget to relax yourself. You will study better after a good
rest.
