Tommy is a shy boy. He 1 in a small village for fifteen years. His father, Mr. Black, was a rich farmer. He 2 a house here in our town several months ago. His family moved to the new house and his son began to study in our class. But he had3 friends here. At first, he often had no one to play with.
His neighbor Lily is a 4 girl. She finds the boy never talks with anybody and decides to help him. Tommy likes to stay with her and talks to her a lot. Now they are good5. One afternoon, Lily said to Tommy, "It'll be my6birthday tomorrow. I'll have a birthday party. Would you like to7 ?"
"Sure. I'd glad to," the boy answered happily.
Tommy got home and kept thinking of a gift he could give Lily. He was 8 that he forgot to ask the girl what she liked. He couldn't call her 9 he didn't know her telephone number. At that time, Mrs. Black came and asked, "What's wrong, dear?"
"What would you like when it was your sixteen birthday, mummy?" "10," the woman said, "I just hope I were sixteen."
Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: "pest friends", "guest friends", and "best friends".
The first kind of friend is simply acquaintances （熟人）, and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don't miss them when they're not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don't tell them. That is why they are called "pest friends".
The second kind of friend could also be called "social partners". They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don't talk about anything deep（深）, such as your wishes or fears（害怕）, and they don't open up to you how they really feel.
The last kind of friend, the "best friend", is the one you know the deepest. You're like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other's houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you're wrong, and though they may not be perfect（完美的）, they at least will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose（故意地）to hurt you.
We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value（ 重 视 ）all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.

A TALKING HANDBAG
It's 8:00 am and you are running out of the door. You walk outside and your handbag suddenly says, "Wait! You forgot your keys!" A talking handbag? Yes, it's true. This "smart bag" can "talk" to the things you often bring with. If you forgot your keys or drop your purse, for example, the bag will tell you.
How does it work? There is a "smart chip（芯片）" in the bag. You put other chips on your phone, purse or keys. Then the bag and the others can "talk" to each other and you!
SMART CLOTHES
These clothes change（改变）color — when you are wearing them! Is it hot outside? Watch your jacket change from dark blue to a lighter color to stop you from the sun. Did you spill（泼洒） coffee on your white pants or shirt? No problem. These smart clothes never get dirty!
When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy came into the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me, without a word, only a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.
That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and make friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile becomes my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!
It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are unhappy, you might truly unhappy. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Most of the students(think) the best act was Eliza. She could play the piano the most beautifully. was the funniest? Of course Steve was. You could see that he and his lovely dog sang the (song) together so that everyone couldn't stop laughing. Do you want (know) the most creative one? It must be Vera.

The (popular) acts were the math teachers in the show. They had many kinds of instruments（乐器）and they were the loudest all. However, there was also a terrible show. Dennis always kept dropping the balls everywhere.
