We moved to a beautiful two-story house, the house was built in1905.It was repaired in 1997.

Early on-something was missing, and later would be found somewhere else .I just thought I had forgotten where I put it, or perhaps my daughter was playing around with something .Then later on I would hear strange sounds when nobody was at home but me…..yet it was an old house, and sometimes old house did make little noises, so again. I didn’t really.
Then things that I couldn’t explain started happening It was last November and I was at home alone cleaning house .When I was sweeping the kitchen floor, I felt a very cold wind blew my hair . I thought the kitchen window must have been opened, but when I checked it, it was closed. The windows were new, and there was no way any cold air came in.

houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can’t always say you are poor and have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转）door. When it closes, it also opens .If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. ( ) 38. Happiness is for __________.

Motorbike is a very convenient vehicle. However there’s an important thing that you need to consider—safety. A motorbike helmet (头盔) is necessary for everyone, no matter where you are or how short the ride is. It’s law.
Most motorbike accidents cause head injuries. Each year about half a million people are injured in motorbike accidents, and most of those injured would not have happened if a helmet had been wore. 58 So you should be used to wearing a helmet while you’ are riding. Besides a helmet, you must know some traffic safety tips (提示):
Stop at all atop signs and obey traffic lights just as cars do. Be especially careful at a crossroad.
Always ride in the same direction as cars do. Never ride against traffic. 59 Don’ t ride too close to parked cars—doors can open suddenly. Never share the seat with people—only one person should be on a motorbike.

The mobile phone is one of the most helpful inventions in our lives. We can use it to make a call anytime and anywhere. And we can take pictures, read novels or listen to music. But on the other hand, I always get annoyed by people who let their mobile phone ring anywhere. What’s more, using the mobile phones too often is bad for our health.
Because of the convenience they have brought us, we will still use mobile phone in the future, but we should know how to use them properly.
