Our trip to the Mining Museum

On Tuesday 4th April, we took a bus to travel to the Mining (矿业) Museum because we had learning about the Gold Rushes.

__【1】___. We went past some famous places such as Sydney Harbor and the Open House along the way. We also chatted to our friends about what we had seen on TV last night.

Mr. Binkley talked to us about how people used to look for gold. __【2】__ . It seemed simple. You get a pan, fill it with dirt and water and then swirl (旋动) it around until the big stones are washed out along with other things. Gold, being heavier, is left at the bottom.

Next, we walked upstairs to look at pictures, information and samples (样品) of gold. We filled in a worksheet about the early discoveries of gold in Australia. ___【3】_. That part was really exciting because you had to imagine that you were a miner digging for gold.

Lunch was spent in a nearby park. ___【4】__. They were yummy! We also played hide-and-seek while we were there.

__【5】___. We boarded the bus and felt very tired. Some children even slept on the bus!

It was an enjoyable trip to the Mining Museum.

It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and the Caterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her changein size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens tosee a trial (审判). The Knave of Hearts is accused of   (被指控) stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts (甜馅饼), while the King of Hearts is the judge. As Alice argues with the Queen, the Queen becomes angry with Alice and orders her men to kill her. In the end, Alice grows into a huge size and knocks over the playing cards. Suddenly, Alice wakes from her dream.

The classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, an English author, was fantastic and entertaining. It took you to a world of fantasy. The entire storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personality is attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf.

Passage2     The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away from her home in a storm and finds herself in the Land of Oz. Dorothy, together with her companions the Tin Woodman who wants a heart, the Scarecrow who wants a brain and the Cowardly Lion who wants courage, journeys in search of the wizard inorder to return home. After facing many difficulties, they successfully meet the Great Oz, who                                 in fact is not a wizard. However, the old man gives the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and needles, the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and filled with sawdust and the Cowardly Lion a bottle of courage. In the end, Dorothy finally                                 gets home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to find her safe and sound.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyableAmerican classic. What I loved most were Dorothy’s trustworthy friends, who were always there when Dorothy needed help. Dorothy is also loved by everyone for her sweetness and honesty. If you have not read it, why don't you give yourself a treat?

26、

Fire accidents often happen in our daily life. So, as middle school students, it is very important for us to learn what to do when a fire breaks out. Here are some tips, and please keep in mind.

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells us to leave the house at once.

Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Prepare fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them. Practice for a fire. We should do fire practice because they teach us about fire safety. Everyone should know the following fire rules:

Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire.

The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don't run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.

There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don't forget to call 119 for help.

【1】When a smoke alarm rings at a house, it means that __________________

A. you have to get up

B. water is running to the floor

D. someone breaks your window
