    Bill Gates has a nice house on a hill by Lake Washington. Inside the house there are seven bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, six kitchens and six fireplaces. It even has a theatre, a library, an exercise room and a Swimming pool. You can say the house js very big. However, it doesn't look so big, because a large part of it is in the hill.

    The house is famous for many reasons. One is its large size, and another is its amazing electronic systems(电子系统). Before a visitor goes into the house, he/she gets a chip(芯片) at the gate. The chip sends information about the visitor to the electronic systems in the house. When the visitor goes into the house, lights are on automatically(自动的). When the visitor goes into a room,  the temperature (温度) will change to make the visitor comfortable. When the visitor goes from one room to another, he/She can hear music.

    Bill Gates began to build his house in 1990. It took him about 7 years to build it.

Thisis very happy．

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.

In the US, about 450, 000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a Us symbol (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the US in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in the early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器)on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.

Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them—and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.

    Mr White works in an office. He likes  (read) in bed when he is at school. It is bad for his (eye) and now he is short sighted. But he doesn't want anybody else  know about it and he never wears a pair of glasses. It often brings him some trouble.

    One winter morning he (go) to a village school on business. He gets off a bus at a stop in  small town. Then he has to walk there. The road to the village isn't smooth(平坦的). There are stones here and there. He falls over(跌倒) several times  it makes his clothes very dirty. At last he gets to the village. Suddenly (突然) it begins to blow

(strong) and it gets much colder.  His hat is blown off while he is (look) for the school. He has to run after it but he can't catch it. He (not know) why his hat runs into a house. And then he runs into the house too.

    A big woman stops (he) by shouting angrily, "What are you running after my hen for?"
