    My name's Helen. My family often eat fruit salad (水果沙拉) after dinner. Look at the list. These are the things to make the fruit salad. I need five strawberries, two bananas, one big apple and one pear. I think I can get them in the market near my home. I also need some cream (奶油).

    One bottle of the cream is 20 yuan. The apple and the pear are at the same price. The strawberry is 10 yuan a kilo and the banana is 8 yuan a kilo. For all of these, I think 50 yuan is enough.

    After buying all of these things, I'm going to wash them first. Second I will cut them into pieces. Then I will put them into a bowl. At last, I'll put the cream on. I think it is easy for me and I'm sure I can do it well.

    Life in the future will be very different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?

    The population is growing fast. There will be a large number of people in the world and most of them will live longer than people now.

    Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools then.

    People will work fewer hours and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much easier and cheaper. And more people will go to other countries for holidays.

    There will be changes in our food, too. Maybe no one will eat meat every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. People will be much healthier.

    Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work can be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

    I'm going to have a great weekend. I'll go across Canada with my parents by car. We'll drive seven or eight hours a day.

    In Toronto, we'll stay in a big hotel. The food is very delicious. There's a big swimming pool and a lot of game rooms. I think I'll play there happily. But there will be lots of people in the hotel, so I think we'll sleep in one room. And it's expensive.

    Then we are going to stay in a small cabin(小木屋) in the mountains. I really love it. The cabin is clean and quiet. We'll have two rooms, so I can get up late in the morning. But we have to get up early because we want to go swimming. There is a beautiful lake near the cabin. We can go fishing and cook food outside.

    It is Sunday today. Am is shopping with her mother. She wants her mother to buy a new sweater for her. In a clothing shop, she finds an orange one. She tries it on. It's too small. She wants a bigger one, but the bigger ones are not orange. Ann doesn't like other colours. Her mother asks, "Shall we go to another shop to have a look?" So they go out of the shop and go into another one.

    The second shop is bigger than the first, and in it there are many kinds of sweaters of different sizes and colours. Ann tries on an orange one. It's too big. She tries a smaller one. It's OK.

    "How much is it?" Ann's mother asks the woman who sells clothes. Then they find it too dear, and they don't have so much money with them. "Would you like a cheaper one?" the woman asks.

    "No, we shall take this one. My daughter likes it. We shall come back to buy it tomorrow. "Ann's mother answers.

I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls," Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!" Hebert answers," I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.

    But not for Herbert. He just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

    When you feel sneeze(喷嚏)or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs (细菌). You probably know that.

    But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues(纸巾) and put your used tissues into the bin. "If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that." The doctors advised.

    "If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch." said Dr. Hill.

    Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like money, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons (电梯按钮) and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

    This isn't nagging(唠叨). The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to "cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue."

    "The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze." Dr. Benjamin said.

    To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks(口罩)and often wash our hands. "Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy." Dr. Hill said.

    Do you often go shopping? You go to a clothes store and see a lot of clothes. Can you buy the right(合适的)clothes for yourself? Here are some ideas for you.

    First, ask yourself a question: What style (款式) do you want? In this way, you can know the style of clothes you want.

    Then, choose the colour. You can find clothes in all colours. Some people like red and others like black.

    Next, find the right size. If you are short, you can choose Size S.

    Finally, ask the shop assistant to give you a good price.

    Old George buys a pair of black gloves for just $7. They are soft and warm. George takes good care of his gloves, so they look new. But George loses his gloves on New Year's Day.

    In winter, he must need a pair of gloves. He is upset(心烦的)that when people find things on the road, they don't return them.

    After the holiday, poor George decides to buy another pair. Before buying it, he goes into Value Mart again to see if his gloves have been returned to the Lost and Found Office.

    "What colour are they?" the woman in the office asks again.

    "Black, "he gives the same answer. She looks into her drawer and takes out(拿出)a pair of men's gloves, "Are they yours?"

    "Yes! They are mine!" George says, with great joy in his eyes.
