Alice spends her summer vacations walking back into history.Alice is 15 and she is a guide who shows visitors around the Fort (城堡)Delaware Museum in New York."This year.I spun wool (纺毛线) on a spinning wheel.Last year,I was a candle maker.My first year,I cared for the garden and looked after the animals.All the jobs I've had at the fort have been really fun."

Fort Delaware is a living﹣history museum that shows how life was in frontier (边远地区) America in the mid﹣1700s."Reading about history can't compare to experiencing it for yourself",says Alice.

The experience begins as soon as visitors enter the fort.The smell of wood smoke fills the air.Women in petticoats (long skirts) and men in knee breeches (knee﹣length shorts) are busy with their chores.The guides show visitors how the settlers (移民) would have carried out everyday work."Kids are surprised when I tell them that one of their jobs would have been to make candles,says another guide,16﹣year﹣old Jane."They don't realize the kids back then had to work hard."She also shows visitors how to play with toys and games.

They are playing historical parts,so the guides can't wear shorts or T﹣shirts when the weather is hot.But the clothes of the past can easily change modern kids into people from the 18th century,"The clothes felt strange at first,but it does make it easier to get into characters."says Jane.

Working at the fort has helped Jane to appreciate her life even more.Alice agrees,"The fort has taught me how hard life was and how much work there was every day.We are so lucky with everything we have now.Life wasn't always this easy."

When Chinese people talk about the mouse,they are likely to see it as greedy and dishonest.It mainly comes from a Chinese folk story about the cat and the mouse.

One day, the mouse and the cat made an appointment to attend a competition held by the Jade Emperor. It would decide the zodiac animals.

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy.. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.

    One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie's face was very sad.

    "Poor boy!" Jo thought. "He's all alone. He needs some friends." She couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?

    Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie's grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.

    "What are you going to do, Jo?" asked her sister Meg.

    "To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.

    When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

    Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"

    Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week".

    "I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?"

    "Yes, very." he replied.

    "Don't your friends come to visit you?"

    "No. But I don't want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache."

    "Girls are quiet."

    "I don't know any girls."

    "You know us."

    "That's true! Can you come and visit me?" cried Laurie.

    " I'm not quiet, but I'd like to come," replied Jo. "I must ask Mother first." She ran back into her house.

     A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie's house. A servane took her upstairs.

    "Here I am!" she said brightly. "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange (牛奶冻) for you."

    "That looks delicious," Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

    Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

    "A nice room!" she said. "I can read to you if you like."

    "No, let's talk," replied Laurie.

    "All right," said Jo, "I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop."

    "You have three sisters﹣Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued.

    "How do you know this?" Jo was surprised.

    "You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother."

    Jo felt sad when she heard this.

    "Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time."

    "Thank you. I'd like to come very much." Said Laurie.

    "We know all our neighbours except you." Jo said, " I'm glad we're friends now."

    She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said," Besides(除了……之外) plays, I also love books." Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

    "Wow!" she said, "All those books!"

    Laurie said, "A person needs more than books."
