The next day, we go to the airport. Mum shows me the3 to the boarding gate（登机门）. Then a lady at the gate4 my ticket and then another lady helps me find my seat. Next the pilot（飞行员）tells everyone to prepare for flying. That's when I become so5 ! No one tells me that the plane will be so high in the sky so fast! All the houses and cars look like small6 . The flight attendant comes over and sits next to me. "Are you OK?" she asks. "Yes. Just a bit worried7 this is my first airplane trip." "I see." answers the flight attendant, "There is8 to be afraid of. Just sit back and have a good rest. What is your name?" "I'm Linda. " She then brings me a soda to drink.

Your mother is crying in the kitchen. Is she sad? No. She is cutting an onion! The onion is making her cry. Why?
There are many cells (细胞) in an onion. When you cut an onion, the cells become open. Then, a gas (气体) comes out of the cells. You cannot see the gas, but it flies into your eyes. Your eyes do not like the gas. They are trying to wash it away with tears (眼泪). So you cry!
What can you do? Put the onion in the fridge, or cook the onion first. Now, cut it. See? You do not cry. If you are in a hurry, here is another idea. Wear goggles and that will make your eyes feel better!

During the Han Dynasty, there was a historian named Sima Qian. One day, the emperor received a message from northern China. It said that the general (将军) Li Ling had given in to the enemy. The emperor was very angry with Li. But Qian didn't say a word.
The emperor asked Qian what he thought about the matter. The man replied, "The enemy hsa 80,000 soldiers, but Li has only 5,000 men. He has been fighting hard for more than ten days. Li only gave in because they had run out of food. I believe he is waiting for another chance to attack. "
When the emperor heard Qian's words, he got even angrier, He sentenced Qian to castration (宫刑). Qian felt so hunilated (受辱的) that at one point, he wanted to kill himself. But in a letter to his friend, Qian wrote, "If I were to die now, it would be like one of nine cows losing one hair. I don't want to die like a nobody. I will first finish the history book that I am writing. "
Later, Sima Qian did finish the book, Records of the Grand Historian. It became one of the most famous books ever written in China.
The days pass. Dorothy works very hard in the kitchen of the castle. She remembers Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas. She remembers her friends the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.

One day Dorothy falls over and one of the silver shoes comes off. The Witch picks it up quickly and puts it on. Dorothy feels very angry. She throws water over the Witch.
"Aarrgh!" the Witch cries, "Water is the end of me!" In another minute the Witch dies and there's just a big brown puddle of water on the floor. Dorothy quickly takes her shoe, puts it on again and runs outside.
"The Witch is dead!" she shouts. The Winkies look at her in surprise. They are also the Witch's slaves. They start cheering and say thank you to Dorothy.
Dorothy asks the Winkies for help and they agree. Dorothy and the Winkies work for three days to save the Tin Woodman. After that, Dorothy, the Lion and the Tin Woodman take the Winkies to the tall tree. The Winkies can't climb the tree so the Tin Woodman cuts it down with his axe. Then they take the Scarecrow's clothes, boots and hat back to the castle. They fill them with clean straw and the Scarecrow is a new man!
The friends stay with the Winkies in the castle for a few days. Then Dorothy says, "We must go back to the Great Oz and tell him that the Witch is dead. " The friends all agree and want to ask Oz for the things they want.
Dorothy uses the Golden Cap and asks the Winged Monkeys for help. The monkeys take the friends up and fly across the sky. The journey is long but they fly fast. Soon Dorothy can see the glittering green gate of the Emerald City below them.
