That night, alone in the room with the coffins(棺材)，Oliver cried lonely. He did not sleep, and very early in the morning, before anyone was awake, he 1 opened the shop door and left the house. He ran up the street and through the town as far as the main road, where he saw a 2 that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London.
But after only four miles he began to realize just now how 3 he would have to walk. He stopped to think about it. He had a piece of bread, an old shirt, two pairs of socks and a penny. 4 he could not see how these would help him get to London any faster, so he kept on 5 .
He walked twenty miles that day. The only thing he had to 6 was his piece of bread and some water to drink, which he begged from houses near the road. He7 the first night in a field, feeling lonely, tired, cold and hungry. He was even8 the next morning when he woke up, and he had to 9 some more bread with his penny. That day he walked only twelve miles. His legs were so weak that they 10 under him.
Early on the seventh morning of his 11 , Oliver finally reached the little town of Barnet, just outside London. 12 , he sat down at the side of the road. His feet were bleeding and he was covered in dust. He was13 tired even to beg. Then he noticed that a boy, who had passed him a few minutes before, had 14 , and was now looking at him carefully from the opposite side of the 15 . After a long time the boy crossed the road and came close to Oliver.
Do you like eating ice cream? Do you know how ice cream spread in the world?
The earliest ice was eaten in China many years ago. People put fruit juice into ice. Later, this idea spread to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Roma between 54 AD and 68 AD, liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly run back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.
Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Italy named Francesco Procopio.
Ice cream was probably to America in the early 1700s and it quickly became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice cream machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison, was the first one to serve her guests ice cream in the White House.
Before ice cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen(冷冻) at home. It took lots of work to mix cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt and to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman made the hand-turned ice cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened the first ice cream business in Baltimore, Maryland. His business quickly spread to other states.

Do you think you can have only one job in your lifetime? This is not true, but lots of people think so. For example, when people decide what to learn in college, they think the decisions they make now will decide their future jobs. However, here are many examples in which people achieved (实现) their dreams after changing their jobs later in life.
Ronald Reagan was an actor when he was young. Later, he decided to do political (政治的) work. The love for it made him become President of the United States.
The famous artist in the 19 century, Vincent Van Gogh, was not a painter at the beginning. He once was a preacher (牧师). It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.
J. K. Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter, was a school teacher before she began writing books. Actually, she was out of her job before the first book Harry Potter came out.
Now we know jobs can be changeable. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find what you love, try your best to do it.

Cool ideas for future travel
What will travel be like in the year 2070?
In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. Let's take a look at some amazing ideas from The Future Travel Report.
Heartbeat passport
Paper passports （PBE）will be a thing of the past. You will use "heartbeat（心跳）passports" instead. According to scientists, everyone's heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are.
More comfortable flight
The seats on the plane will no longer be "one size fits all". You'll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device（未来设备）could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing（打包）clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan（扫描）. And when you arrive, you'll find a room filled with 3D printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
Bring history back to life
If you like to visit historic sites（历史古迹）, AR will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous war. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
What will you do first when you hold a party? Of course, writing a proper invitation matters. Here are some ways about writing an invitation. If you follow the ways below, it will be much(easy).
Firstly, you need to write the names correctly. This is a good way(show) your respect （尊重） for the guests.
The next is the place. Since your guests don't know about the party's address(clear), it's necessary to have directions in the invitation. We know everyone has maps on their phone. But it's better to add a map for everyone you organize the party.
You also need to tell your guests when(arrive). Make sure if they are available at that time. When there is a question about how they should dress for your party, you must be sure to let them know. At least you need to tell them if they should come in business suitsjust normal clothes.
Consider the weather when you're(plan) a party outdoors. No one wants to have a party in bad weather. Be sure the weather is fine for people to enjoy party.
When all these things are done, then you can start the(prepare) for your party. With a good invitation, people will enjoy(they) at the party.
