The weather was fine last night. My friend named Steve and I decided to sleep in the open air. I found the sleeping bags under the bed in my room. I also packed some snacks. We could hardly wait for it to get dark. We opened our sleeping bags and put them on the grass in front of my house. Steve and I played some games, talked about something interesting and had a snack. In the end it got dark. We were just falling asleep when we heard something unusual.

"Maybe it is just a small animal," I said. Steve said nothing, but I could feel he was frightened (受惊吓的). After I looked around, I was sure it wasn't an animal. It was my little brother, Tommy.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. "You know, Tommy, you frightened us."

"Sorry, Bill," he said. "It's hot in the room. I want to sleep outside with you."

"Well, OK," I said. "Just come and lie down next to us."

People in different countries do things differently. For example, Australians put their shirt "tails" on the clothes-line after washing, because they usually put the shirt "tails" into their trousers. When the clothes pegs leave marks on the clothes, other people will not see them. That's why Australians also put the bottom of their socks on the clothes-line. If they put the top of their socks on the clothes-line, the marks left by the pegs may be seen by others. Do you do some washing or others help you to do so? I believe you can do it by yourself and you will get much fun from it. Please have a try after this exam.

Almost all people like flowers. Some people like flowers because of their smells, shapes, colors and so on. Others like flowers because they think different flowers mean different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean "love" and sunflowers mean "loyalty" ( 忠诚 ). So people in more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers which say something about their countries' spirit (精神). In 1994, China talked about choosing a national flower. Some people liked the peony (牡丹) but others liked the plum blossom (梅花). They couldn't agree with each other. So it has not been decided yet. People like to buy different flowers in different seasons. Where do all the beautiful flowers in shops come from? They may come from far away, so their price is higher.

a. Farmers grow flowers in their fields.

b. Planes or trains or buses take the flowers to different places.

c. Flower shopkeepers buy flowers from the flower markets. They' look at the flowers and throw away the broken or bad ones. They cut the flowers to make them more beautiful.

d. You go to buy the flowers in the shops. When you buy a flower, you're paying lots of people: the farmer, the driver of the plane or train or bus, the seller in the flower market and the flower shopkeeper. So you'd better keep your flowers from far away for a long time. But how? Why not dry them? It's easy! Sand drying is a way. Dry, clean sand is one of the oldest things for drying flowers. And it's one of the Cheapest. Fill a box half-way with sand. Put the flowers on top of the sand. Put the box in a warm, dry place. Leave the flowers there for one to three weeks. Take them out and they will be dry.

I agree to the second idea. I think we, the middle school students, should do some housework at home. Housework will neither disturb our life nor our studies. It can make us grasp more life skills, and form a good habit of working and studying. We can get on well with our parents when we do the housework. We can understand it is difficult to do the housework. So we must respect our parents' work and work hard at school.
