After the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday. The
teacher told her class to enjoy their extra day off. As the students reached for their backpacks,
Kayla, a young girl asked her friend what was Labor Day(劳动节). The young boy didn't know, either
and said that he just knew they got an extra day off from school.
An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. In fact, break was Kayla's favorite
part of the school day. After the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the arms of her mom.
Learning about Kayla's no school on Monday, Kayla's mom wondered if children needed a break only
two weeks after they had started back to school.
Kayla smiled at her mom. She picked up a basketball that lay on the edge of the driveway. She
dribbled （运球）it a couple of times and then threw for a goal. A perfect shot!
"Great shot, Kayla!" said her dad.
“Thanks, Dad," said Kayla. " Hopefully my friends can come over and play basketball this
weekend!"
"I'll call their parents and see, Kayla," said her mom. "Your homework needs to come first,
though. " Kayla said that she wasn't assigned any homework for the holiday weekend. So, she was
going to have as much fun as possible.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of
the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and played basketball
for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, that extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But
Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the
family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn't believe it. This was
a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying lemonade while playing in her tree-house.

An Activity of Collecting Used Clothes
Last weekend, our school held an activity of collecting students' used clothes with the
purpose of helping the students in poor areas.
In order to organize it successfully, we made full preparations. First, we collected various
used clothes which were still in good condition and sorted out the thick ones. Second, with enough
clothes, the monitor in each class called the express company to send our parcels.
All the clothes we collected will play a role in helping the poor families against the cold
weather. It's such a meaningful activity that students are all looking forward to the next chance of
charity.
读后续写
As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. As Kayla sat down at
the kitchen table for her breakfast, her parents said they thought working hard that day would
make her appreciate why Labor Day is observed in the first place. Kayla did some housework,
including helping to dry and put away the breakfast dishes, giving her puppy a bath. It was hard
work. But it was also a lot of fun. Kayla was covered in just as many soap suds as her puppy and
picked up sticks in the yard. Kayla felt proud of how much better the yard looked. The lemonade
tasted wonderful after a hard day of work.
The next day Kayla’s teacher asked her students what they did on their extra day off. Twin
brothers Matt and Mark shared that they went boating with their family. A young girl Cassie, said
that her family had a picnic at the lake. When Kayla talked excitedly about her day, her classmates
were surprised. Not because of all the work she had done, but because of how much fun she had
when doing it.

W: Welcome to the Selmore Public Library. To join the library, you need a membership card.
Take your passport or ID card, as well as show your home address, to the information desk.
After a period of two years, all readers are required to go to the desk with a paper that
has their name and present address on it so the library can keep up-to-date records of
where people are living.
There’s no need to register again and there is no charge for this.
If you can’t find the book you want on the shelves, you can book it in advance. If it’s in
another library in the city, we can usually get it for you within a week. If someone else has
borrowed it, it can take a few weeks. Either way, we tell you by phone when the book can be
picked up. We will hold it for you for five days.
Books can be borrowed for fourteen days. Children’s books also have a two-week borrowing
period. So do the CDs but DVDs, both children’s and adults’, can only be borrowed for up to
seven days. Dictionaries can be borrowed but normally only for one day.
The library opening hours have been changed slightly. Instead of opening late on Wednesday
evenings until 8:00 p.m., we will be closing at 6, but we will close at 7 instead of 5:30 on
Saturdays and we are going to open on Sunday mornings from next month — 9 to 1. Notices
are posted in the library about these.
