All 6-year-old Emmett wanted was a bike,but his father didn't want to 2 it to him easily,so he got a 3 idea. The father told Emmett he needed to make money by 4 to buy one. "Emmett got some old toys together and put them out for 5 . He ended up making $70 that day. He made 6 money to get his bike. The next day, we saw this snow cone machine(冰淇淋机) when we were walking around Sam's Club. Emmett asked if he could get that first 7 he could start his own business(生意) and make more money," Emmett's father said.
After a(n)8 , Emmett's parent decided to help him with his business,9 he had to sell snow cones for at least one hour every Saturday. Then Emmett started his business 10 only a bag of ice and three flavors(口味). "The first time he made $12,then $17, then $25... Then he 11 some of the money buying new flavors. Now Emmett has 21 flavors and is 12 to save his money for college," Emmett's mother said.
Many people on the Internet think both Emmett and his parents did a good 13 .
"Excellent job, Emmett! You should be a role model for 14 kids of your age."
"I'm proud(自豪的) of your son, but I'm even more proud of you for being 15 great parents. I think your son is going to be a good business man when he grows up."

Cathy and Candy are twins. Even their parents find it hard to tell the difference between them. Although they look the same, the girls are different in most other ways. They don't have many things in common. Candy likes spicy foods, while Cathy prefers sweet foods. Candy likes to study at night, while Cathy prefers the morning. Candy likes playing sports, but Cathy just like reading books in her free time.
They often fight with each other about these things. For example, when Candy says that waking up early in the morning is terrible, Cathy argues, "Mornings are fresh. It is difficult to stay up late in the day when you feel sleepy!"
Their parents thought they shouldn't always argue with each other and decided to put an end to their arguments(争论) and teach them that they can both be right. They got an idea.
Their father asked Candy to stand on one side of a board, while Cathy stood on the other side. They couldn't see each other's sides. Their mother asked, "What color is the board?" Candy said it was black, while Cathy said it was white. They started arguing again. Then, their parents asked them to switch.
They were both quite surprised. Candy's side had been painted black and Cathy's had been painted white. Both of them were correct.
Many of us are like Candy and Cathy. We may insist(坚持) that we are right most of the time, only to find out that others can be right as well.
Dear Helen,
You asked me for some information(信息) about eating out in Yorktown.
First,I must say the best restaurant in Yorktown is The Steak House.You need to get there earlier to get a table,because it gets crowded(拥挤的) after 7 pm.
If you want something cheaper,you can go to The Fish House. It's really great for people who like fish better than red meat. The servings(分量) are the biggest in town.But The Steak House is more convenient(方便的), because it's closer to the center of the city than The Fish House.
Hamburger Heaven is popular with teenagers. They enjoy the pop music there.In fact the food there is the worst in Yorktown!
In Yorktown you shouldn't miss Hot Coffee. There you can get the best coffee and eat the most delicious ice cream. If you like tea, Tea House in the best choice(选择). You can also read some books about Chinese culture in Tea House.
Yours,
David

I think I must bring out my(good) one day.
