One day town mouse Mike went to visit his cousin Tom in the countryside. Mike lived a rich life and he loved his cousin a lot. Tom was 1 but he loved his town cousin, too. So he made his cousin Mike very welcome.

    For dinner that night Tom took out 2 he had: water and potatoes. Mike said, "Cousin, how can you eat food 3 this, but of course you can't expect anything better in the countryside! Come with me and I' 11 show you how to 4 in the big beautiful town."

    The two mice set off (出发) for the town and 5 the Town Mouse' s home late at night. "Let's have something to eat and drink after 6 long trip," said the Town Mouse. They went into a big dining room. There the two mice had fruit, meat and cakes and drank milk and juice.

    Then they 7 a loud noise (响声). "What's that?" asked Tom. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered Mike. "Only?" said Tom. "I don't like that 8 at my dinner."

    At that time two large dogs came in the dining room. The two mice ran away 9 and hid (隐藏) under a chair.

    "Goodbye, Cousin," said Tom.

    "What? Are you 10 so soon?" said the other.

    "Yes," Tom answered. "I think it's better to enjoy my potatoes at home than meat here."

Message: Your daughter's school Called. Susie doesn't feel well. Please pick her up.

    Alice and John are in the music club at their school. Alice plays the violin and John plays the drums. There are two groups in the school music club: the training (训练) group and the concert(音乐会) group. Everyone starts in the training group!

     "When I first started to play the violin it sounded terrible!" Alice said. "My family asked me to practice outside."

    After a year's practice, Alice and John play much better now. They are both in the concert group and they are learning more difficult music. "We're learning the music from the film Pirates of the Caribbean. It sounds fantastic!" John said. "Playing in the club with other kids is a lot of fun."

    Playing an instrument (乐器) is not only fun. It also helps children learn to concentrate (集中注意力). "I have to concentrate when I'm practicing," Alice said. "And now it's easier for me to concentrate on my schoolwork."

    Playing an instrument can also help children become more confident (自信的). As John said, "I was scared when I played in front of a lot of people for the first time. But now I really enjoy it."
