“If God let me control (控制) the weather, everything would get 1 ,” he complained (抱怨), “I know better than God does because I am a clever farmer.”
God heard his words. “Well, I will give you one year,” God replied. “You will be in charge of the weather. Let’s see what your crops will grow like.”

Dear Harry Potter,
Hi! I’m Li Lin from China. I really feel lucky to write you a letter.
Though I live far away from your world,I think we are the same in some ways. You are a great wizard(巫师). You did lots of magic(魔法). Although I don’t do magic, I do believe in it. Well, I’m also a “wizard” at school. You know why I often get A grades in my exams, but I’m not a dull student. I like sports, I like reading, and I also like to play jokes. Some of the jokes really made the teacher angry. I also have many friends. They often get me into and out of trouble(麻烦), but we are still good friends.
Oh, I almost forget to tell you that our school is also like yours, Hogwarts. It’s a special one for good students. We have a lot of lessons. And I often go to bed late just to finish my homework. It really makes me feel terrible.
Luckily, I can read your stories in my free time. I feel like I know you. You have your own(自己的) ideas. Also you can think with a calm head when you meet dangerous things. What a great boy you are! How I wish I could meet you soon!
Have a nice time every day!
Yours,
Li Lin

Americans love to drive. They have drive-in movie theaters and drive-through restaurants. And they also drive for vacations. They often call it the “Great American Road Trip”: the whole family gets into a car or recreational vehicle (RV, 旅行房车), and goes on a summertime trip across the country.
American cars are always big, but RVs are the biggest. These are houses on wheels. RVs have kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. All across the country you can find RV parks. They are places to park your RV and spend the night. And, if you can’t find a good park, you can always make your home in a grocery store parking lot (杂货铺停车场).
When your little brother kicks you in the face all night in your small bed under the table, a big RV can seem very small. And when the dog barks (吠) and Mom plays her country music on the radio—your family is not at its best. What’s worse, RVs are always breaking down.
But RV travel can be a great time with the family, too. You can see the country in the comfort of your own “home”. You can spend every night in a different scenic (景色的) place, or just stay where you are. You don’t have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas. But best of all, you are free to go wherever you want whenever you want in your home-away-from-home.
