She
was
in

Every

she
had

And

flowers
needed
the
rain
to
look
lovely
and
smell
wonderful.
So
making
the
rain
come
was
a
very
important
___28___!
But
no
one
had
told
Chrissy
how
to
make
it
rain,

all.
Chrissy

job
before
you
used

A
Thomas
Alva
Edison
is
one
of
the
greatest
inventors
of
all
times.
One
of
his
most
famous
achievements
is
the
electric
light.
He
tried
thousands
of
times
to
make
a
long
lasting
light
bulb
(灯泡).
Although
the
light
bulb
is
not
his
invention,
he
is
the
only
one
to
have
made
such
a
successful
light
bulb.
Many
people
remember
him
for
the
invention
of
the
electric
light.
He
held
a
lot
of
patents
(专利权)
worldwide.
Many
of
them
were
approved
(批准)
in
USA.
We
can
find
his
inventions
in
many
fields.
In
fact,
many
of
the
advanced
inventions
were
based
on
his
ideas.
He
invented
a
phonograph
(留声机),
a
film
picture
camera,
a
ticket
recorder
and
so
on.
Edison
was
not
a
good
student
at
school.
But
he
loved
to
do
new
experiments.
When
he
was
still
a
child,
he
built
his
first
lab
to
perform
his
experiments.
An
amazing
story
of
Edison's
childhood
is
that
he
almost
made
his
servant
die.
Edison
used
to
think
that
birds
ate
insects
and
these
insects
might
make
them
fly.
So,
he
collected
these
insects
and
blended
them
to
make
juice.
He
then
let
his
servant
drink
the
juice.
After
drinking
the
juice,
the
girl
lost
her
sense.
But
luckily,
she
was
saved.

An
Irish
priest
(牧师)
loved
going
fishing.
It
was
his
favourite
hobby.
However,
the
weather
was
so
bad
this
year
that
he
didn't
have
a
chance
to
go
fishing.
It
was
very
strange
that
the
weather
was
good
every
Sunday.
But
Sunday
was
the
day
when
he
had
to
go
to
work.
The
coming
Sunday
was
good
again
according
to
the
weather
report,
so
he
called
another
priest
and
told
him
that
he
lost
his
voice
and
was
in
bed
with
the
fever.
He
asked
him
to
take
over
his
work.
The
priest
drove
fifty
miles
to
a
river
so
that
no
one
would
find
him.
An
angel
in
Heaven
was
keeping
watch
and
saw
what
the
priest
was
doing.
He
reported
it
to
God.
He
thought
God
would
do
something
about
it.
With
the
first
throw
of
us
line,
a
huge
fish
bit
down
the
fish
food.
For
over
an
hour
the
priest
was
busy
running
up
and
down
the
river
bank
to
fight
the
fish.
In
the
end,
he
landed
the
large
size
fish.
It
was
a
world
record
—
a
Salmon
(鲑鱼).
The
angel
did
not
know
what
was
happening
and
asked
God,
“Why
did
you
let
him
catch
that
huge
fish
I
thought
you
were
going
to
teach
him
a
lesson."
God
replied,
"I
did.
Who
do
you
think
he's
going
to
tell "
(

36.
The
priest
didn't
go
fishing
this
year
because
of
______.
A.
his
hobby
B.
the
bad
weather
C.
his
illness
D.
his
strict
wife
(
)
37.
What
did
the
priest
say
to
another
priest
on
the
phone
when
he
wanted
to
go
fishing

was
going
fishing
with
his
family.

was
in
bed
with
the
fever.
C.
he
would
go
to
see
the
doctor.
D.
he
would
stay
at
home
and
do
some
housework.
(
)
38.
Why
did
the
priest
drive
fifty
miles
away
to
go
fishing
A.
Because
there
were
more
fish
there.
B.
Because
that
was
a
quieter
place.

knew
him
there.

Some
American
Indians
grew
corn,
sunflowers,
beans,
and
pumpkins
in
their
gardens.
To
prepare
a
garden,
they
first
killed
trees.
Some
Indians
put
a
dead
fish
into
the
hole
where
they
planted
the
corn
in
order
to
provide
food
for
the
corn
plant.
The
Indians
made
little
progress
(进步)
during
the
thousands
of
years
before
the
Europeans
came.
One
reason
for
this
was
that
horses,
cows,
sheep,
pigs,
and
chickens
were
not
found
in
America.
Without
horses,
the
Indians
had
a
hard
time
digging
up
the
soil,
and
they
could
only
get
animal
food
by
hunting.
Another
reason
for
their
lack
of
progress
was
that
they
did
not
know
how
to
use
metals
to
make
tools.
Stones
and
flat
bones
do
not
make
good
tools.
Indian
hunters
would
sometimes
hunt
for
days
without
finding
anything.
They
learned
to
follow
animal
tracks
(足迹).
They
learned
to
listen.
In
order
to
get
close
to
their
prey,
the
Indians
had
to
move
quietly.
When
they
were
close
enough,
they
could
shoot
their
arrows.
Often,
the
prey
got
away.
The
Mayas
were
Indians.
They
were
much
more
civilized
(文明的)
than
American
Indians.
The
Mayas
were
great
builders.
They
knew
how
to
write
down
their
words,
and
some
of
their
books
still
exist.
(

41.

fish

______.
A.

trees
B.
provide
food
for
the
corn
plant
C.
frighten
animals
D.
keep
the
corn
fresh
(
)

What
does
the
second
paragraph
tell
us
A.
Problems
the

had.
B.
How
poor
the

were.

Reasons
for
the

of

Sammy
looked
out
of
the
classroom
window
at
a
bird
in
a
tree.
He
saw
a
worm
(小虫)
in
the
bird's
mouth.
"Wow!"
he
whispered
as
he
looked
at
the
bird
eating
the
worm.
"Sammy!"
his
teacher
Mr
Maxwell
said
loudly.
Sammy
jumped
and
knocked
his
science
book
off
his
desk.
Everyone
in
the
class
laughed
and
Sammy
blushed.
This
was
the
third
time
today
he
had
been
caught
not
paying
attention
to
the
science
lesson.
It
was
just
so
easy
to
get
distracted
(分心的)
when
people
read
aloud
from
the
science
textbook!
It
wasn't
that
Sammy
didn't
like
science.
He
loved
to
learn
about
machines,
Earth
and
animals.
He
even
thought
bugs
and
plants
were
great.
He
wanted
to
go
outside
and
see
how
a
snake
lived.
He
wanted
to
watch
plants
growing
from
the
ground
as
they
did
last
month.
He
just
didn't
want
to
read
about
these
things.
Sammy
thought
Mr
Maxwell
would
surely
understand.
"There
was
a
bird
with
a
worm
in
its
mouth
..."
Sammy
began.
Then
he
saw
the
furious
look
on
his
teacher's
face.
Sammy
decided
that
he
had
better
stop
talking
before
Mr
Maxwell
became
any
angrier.
(
)
46.
The
bird
was
______
when
Sammy
looked
at
it.

The
Blacksmith
I
am
a
blacksmith.
I
am
important
because
I
make
everything
that
is
needed
such
as
shoes
for
horses
and
other
animals.
I
can
also
be
considered
a
dentist,
because
I
pull
the
tooth
out
if
someone's
tooth
hurts.
The
Miller
(磨坊主)
My
neighbor
is
a
miller.
The
mill
that
he
owns
and
runs
is
extremely
important.
The
mill
is
part
of
the
reason
we
live
here.
The
miller
grinds
(磨)
grain
for
farmers.
Instead
of
getting
money
from
the
farmers,
the
miller
takes
a
percentage
of
the
grain
for
a
payment.
The
Cobbler
The
cobbler
makes
my
shoes.
He
is
a
very
busy
man
because
we
walk
a
lot.
The
cobbler
fixes
old
shoes
and
makes
new
ones.
It's
very
expensive
to
get
a
new
pair
of
shoes,
so
I
make
sure
my
shoes
are
well
worn
before
getting
a
new
pair
or
getting
them
fixed!
The
shoes
aren't
very
beautiful.
In
fact,
the
cobbler
uses
the
same
pattern
(模式)
for
every
shoe,
and
it
makes
no
difference
whether
it's
left
or
right!
Each
shoe
is
exactly
the
same.
The
Town
Crier
The
town
crier
is
how
we
get
our
news
in
the
town.
He
travels
from
town
to
town
ringing
a
bell
to
get
everyone's
attention.
When
he
tells
the
news,
he
doesn't
give
much
detail,
just
words
like:
"War
began
today".
