Once Effendi had a joke with the Prime Minister (宰相). He said that the Minister would die the next day. The next day, the Minister fell to the ground from the horse and really died. When the king learned this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Effendi at once.
When Effendi was brought to him, the king shouted angrily, “Effendi, since you knew when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death. Say it out, or you'll die today.” Effendi looked at the king for a while. Then he answered, “But how can I know?I'll die two days earlier than you.” The king was afraid that if he killed Effendi, he himself would die after that. He thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as possible, so he let Effendi go.

Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of a week-long celebration. You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There're many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940's, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story. Before the tomato fight, there are parades (游行), musical bands, street parties and so on.
On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks (卡车)full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band starts to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
Everyone should obey a small number of rules: You must squash (压烂)the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.
It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clear up. Sounds like fun!

My sweet memory
—No. It _____ when I arrived at the bus stop.
I got up,my father had gone into the bathroom.
It was Sunday morning. My parents went to attend the marriage celebration of one of my relatives in the next village. I did not go with1because I wanted to prepare for my tests at home. But I was expected to attend the feast(宴会)at 1:00p. m.
At about 11:00 in the morning my2came. My parents were absent so I had to treat him myself. I went to the kitchen and3the biscuits. But I couldn't find them. I also tried to4a cup of tea for him. But there was no milk. I went to my neighbor's house and borrowed some milk. But5I added salt instead of sugar. When I offered the cup of tea to my uncle, he gladly accepted it. Then I6my mistake when he asked for sugar for the tea. I couldn't find the sugar. So7I rushed to my neighbor's house for it.
After the8, my uncle left. It was time for me to go and attend the feast. However, when I went to get my bike, I found that it had a flat tire (瘪了的轮胎) . I thought of borrowing the neighbor's bike, but I felt9to request him for the third time.10I decided to go there on foot. However, by the time I got there, the feast was already over. I told my parents everything and they pitied me for my bad day.
It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope into big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in and jumped. Then it was Millie's turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn't move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie's friends cheered, "Go, Millie, go!"
Millie's face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn't know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms. Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope. "Ready, set. Go!"
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, "Go. Millie, go!"
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!
●Millie was nervous about jumping. ●She tried the long rope but failed.
