   Mrs. Smith had a small garden, and in spring she planted some vegetables in it. She looked after them very carefully, and when summer came, they looked very nice.

One evening Mrs. Smith looked at her vegetables and said, “Tomorrow I am going to pick them, and then we can eat them.”

But early the next morning, her son ran into the kitchen (厨房) and shouted, “Mother, Mother! Come quickly! Our neighbor’s (邻居的) ducks are in the garden and they are eating our vegetables!” Mrs. Smith ran out, but it was too late! All the vegetables were finished! Mrs. Smith cried and made her neighbor very sorry, but that was the end of the vegetables.

Then a few days before Christmas, the neighbor gave Mrs. Smith a package (包裹). In it was a beautiful, fat duck, and on it was a piece of paper with the words “Enjoy your vegetables!”

   After Donald Trump became the 45th American president, a new video of his granddaughter Arabella went popular once again on the Internet. In this video, the little girl wore a qipao, a kind of traditional Chinese dress. She stood in front of a table to recite（背诵）ancient Chinese poems. These poems are familiar（熟悉的）to most Chinese people and they are often recited by Chinese kids. Arabella made the video to remember Chinese Monkey Year, which ended on January 27th, 2017.

Arabella’s family are interested in Chinese culture. They can even make Chinese dumplings and sing Chinese songs. Arabella began to study Chinese when she was 18 months old.  Now she can speak very good Chinese. Early in February, 2016, 4-year-old Arabella, recited a Tang Dynasty poem in Chinese. Her mother sent her video online and won lots of “likes” from all over the world.

On Sonia Weibo, many users thought Arabella was a wonderful and surprising girl. “I’m glad to see the little angel （天使） loves Chinese culture. “ Wrote a user called “orange”.

 “At least his video shows that Trump is serious about education and never closes the door to foreign culture,” said another user named “stAU79”.

38． We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first, and then the cookies. We thought they were great.

“Let’s get these again,” I said. “

My friend can read some German, but I can’t, so I gave her the package in order that she could look for the brand (品牌) name.
40．

“Why are you laughing?” I asked.

“Because they’re dog biscuits!” she said.

Summer vacation is coming soon. My friends and I would like to do some volunteer jobs.
