Passage 7. Two Young Trees bat蝙蝠,球棒
Two young trees are standing on the top of the hill. Their names are Tim and Alan.
One day, it’s sunny and warm. Some birds are singing in the trees. The wind blows, and the trees are talking. “What do you want to be when you grow up?’’ asks Tim. “I’m not sure. I think I want to be a chair or a desk.” answers Alan, “Maybe I want to be a toy box or a baseball bat. I like children.” “What do you want to be when you grow up?” asks Alan. “Me?” says Tim, “I just want to be a tree. I want to be a house for birds and spiders. I want to have many apples. And when it’s sunny and hot, people and animals can stand under me.”
Passage 8. Hongkong is a nice place
Hong Kong is a nice place, especially in summer. July is a hot month in Hong Kong. But it’s an excellent time for swimming. There is a beautiful beach at Repulse Bay (淺水灣). To get there, you can take a bus from Central. Lots of people go to the beach on Sundays and Saturdays. But if(如果) you go on a weekday, it will be not so crowded(擁擠的).Visitors to Hongkong need passports護(hù)照. But people from many countries do not need visas. Hongkong is a nice place for holiday. There are many shops.
