The room was filled with boxes and dusty photographs of people holding packages in their hands.Mr. Hopkins said, We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I take his picture. Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera on a table. I began to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in the shop. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots and a sewing machine. I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. I will tell all my friends about your lovely place. I told the shopkeeper. Please dont do that, sir. said Mr. Hopkins. This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret. Then he took my photograph and handed me the picture straight away. On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to take him to the wonderful little shop. I finally agreed. We walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and foundnothing. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasnt there. Just then, an old policeman came. Are you looking for something, sir he asked. I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son. Oh yes, there was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. But it was knocked down over 30 years ago. I looked again at the place, then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop. How strange ! I screamed.21.

But looking at the sea horses tail, you might think “sea monkey” is a better name. Then theres the sea horses pouch. “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change color to match their surroundings. A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimps. For a fish that doesnt move around much, the sea horse eats a lotin just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimps!A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and its the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the females body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch. Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.Sadly, the number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses dont live long in aquariums. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.25. The sea horse got its name because of its _.

Ive always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I dont want to lose a friend. Ive found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt. Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you arent able to see my point of view, then what you think isnt worth my time or consideration, either.” But now Ive come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I dont agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because Im against the truth. Thats when I need to listen to what she says. Ive learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we cant control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love. Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I dont like being disagreed with, Im starting to see the value of such disagreements. 32.
