Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. They want to go out to see something different or do something exciting. So people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It is a little hard to buy train tickets, bus tickets or air tickets. Many people take cars for traveling.
Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holiday. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute. We thought it was a nice place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big green tree. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip!

Michael Jackson was one of the world’s best singers. He was born in the middle west of the city of Gary, Indiana, in 1958. He began singing with his four brothers. They called the group “ The Jackson Five”. The group became very popular after appearing on a television program. In 1970 the group made their first record with the name of I Want You Back. It was very popular. One of their hit records was Never Say Goodbye.
Michael was good at dancing as well as singing, for example, his dance moves and moon walking. He was asked to act in a film in 1978 for the first time, and in the same year he made a record on his own, which sold eight million copies all over the world.

Hello ,everyone!
Thank you very much for coming to this concert. I hope you have enjoyed the performance. As you may know, all the performers have given their time to help us.
This concert is to raise money for children in Africa. Every day hundreds of children in Africa die because they don’t have enough to eat. There are two reasons. First, there is no work for the children’s parents. Second, the governments in many African countries do not have the money to help the poor.
Most African countries are poor. The land is not good for growing food and the weather is also bad for farming. The Feed Africa Fund spends millions of dollars every year on food for poor people in Africa. This money comes from people like you---- kind, generous people who do not want to see children die from hunger.
Every dollar you give this evening will go to the Feed Africa Fund. Just one dollar can buy enough food to feed a family of four for three days. Think about it: only one dollar can feed four people for three days.
How much do you spend on food every day? Ten dollars? Twenty dollars? I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund.
Please be kind and generous! Give your money with a helping hand. Your money can make a difference in others’ life and yours. Thank you!

Some years went by. Then Father Boone called the family together. “Pack your things,” he told them. “We are leaving here. Our farmland isn't good to live on. We can buy rich, cheap land in he southwest.”
Sixteen-year-old Daniel was happy. “I'm glad we are going,” he said. “I feel crowded here. There are too many houses and too many people.” Father Boone made ready for the journey. He pushed out the big wagon (马车) and tied two horses to it. Mother Boone packed clothes, dishes, pots and pans. She would make food for the family along the way. The family said goodbye to the neighbors and to their old home, and started.
Mother, the girls, and the little children rode in the wagon. Father and the boys took turns riding the horses. Sometimes all of the Boones walked so that the horses could rest.
Father and the boys had guns to kill birds and small animals for food along the way. The
Boones traveled across Pennsylvania. At last the family came to the green Yadkin Valley in North
