I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket to the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills every day between 10：00 a.m. and 4：00 p.m. Because I work from 9：00 a.m.to 5：30 p.m., the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返)trip in 45 minutes.

    Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one coming around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

    Then on Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I felt it would be worthwhile to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.

A gift

    I have received so many gifts on my birthdays.

    I love the gift so much.

—        . We're getting into the rainy season now.

    Light travels at a very fast speed. It is about a million times1than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this2by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound gets to your 3.

    This great speed of light4some strange facts. Sunlight5about 8 minutes to get to us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, 6 that the light rays(光线)leave the moon 1.3 seconds before they get to you. The nearest star is so7away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to8towards you several years ago. In some cases, the light from one of tonight's stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.

    So, to be exact, we can't say, "The stars are shining 9."We have to say instead, "The stars10pretty. They were shining several years ago, but their light has only just got to the Earth."

    It was Sunday, Jack went to a barber's shop(理发店)to have (he) hair cut. But he was not happy with the result. While he (walk) along the street, he met his friend Bob.

    "What has happened to your hair?" Bob laughed and said.

    "I had (an) bad day today! I didn't like my old hairstyle I went to a new barber's shop. But this one seems even (bad) than before, I am going to a party tonight, "Jack said (sad).

    "Oh, that's really a problem. Now I'll tell you what (do) when you go into a barber's shop next time: have a look all the barber's hair, find out hair looks worst, and then go straight to him."

    "Why?" Jack asked.

    "Who cut that (man) hair? He couldn't cut it himself, could he? Another barber cut it. So you know he can't be the worst barber, "Bob said.
