A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need some hearing aid (助听). Not quite sure how to 1 her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor toldhim there was a simple test the husband could do to give the doctor a better 2of her hearing loss.

    "Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a 3 conversational speaking tone (音调) see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on4 you get a reply."

    That evening, the wife was in the 5, and he was in the yard. He said to himself,"I'm about 40 feet away, and let me see what will happen." Then in a usual tone he asked,"Honey, what's for dinner?"

    No 6 .

    So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and asked,"Honey, what's for dinner?"

    7no reply.

    Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and 8, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    Again he got no reply. He walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey,what's for dinner?" Again there was no reply.

    So he 9  right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

"Chicken! James, for the 10 time I've said that."

    Hello, boys and girls. My name is Kangkang. I'm from Tianjin. I'm in No.1 middle school.

    My mother works in No.1 middle school. She teaches Chinese. My father is a doctor in a hospital. They both work hard.

    On Sunday my mother and I often do some shopping. My mother likes shopping a lot. We will go shopping this Sunday afternoon. My mother says she will buy me a red coat. But I don't like red. I want a yellow one. My mother says yes to me. I am happy.

    My father doesn't like shopping at all. He likes animals best. He often takes me to the zoo. My favorite animal is the panda. I think the panda is very cute. This Sunday morning my father will go to the zoo with me.

    I love my parents very much. They love me, too. I have a happy family.
