There is a family of ants close to my house, but I don't know when they came here.
They work hard all day long cleaning their house and looking for food outside. There is not a lazy one in their family. They are friendly to each other and help each other. I like them very much and often go to see them.
One day I went to see the ants just before a heavy rain. They were busy carrying earth in their mouths to stop up the door of their house. Just then the rain came down. I ran back into the house. I thought,“The ants will be in danger. How heavy the rain is!”
When the rain stopped, I went out to see the ants. The earth at the door kept the rain out. They were busy carrying it away.
It was late, and the people all went home. I thought that the ants must be tired.I went to see them again with the help of the lamp. They were still working quietly. What good, hard-working neighbours they are!

Yesterday a reporter asked 10 students at Hilltop School_________last weekend.

A. what did they do        B. what were they doing        C. what they did

Mike and Dick work in the same office. They don’t like the cold weather. And one day they decided to take their holiday in Australia. Their plane arrived in Sydney at nine in the morning. They had a good rest in a hotel. The next morning they rented(租) a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later the sun was shining in the sky and there were no shade trees(遮阴树) beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop to look around. Mike found a river was about half a kilometer away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car quickly. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing under a big tree. He asked,“Are there any sharks(鲨) in the river, boy?”“No, there aren’t,”answered the boy. So they began to swim in the river. After a while, Dick felt something hit against his leg. He told Mike about it. They were afraid and stopped swimming. Dick asked loudly,“Is it true that there aren’t any sharks in the river?”“Yes, sir,”said the boy,“there’re a lot of crocodiles(鳄鱼) in the water. All the sharks have swum away!”
