Jodie’s Daddy is a Garbageman(垃圾清理工)

Mr Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s Daddy is a Garbageman!”

Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.

“Silence!” Mr Swales said, “Being a garbagemen is a difficult and useful job. We should all be thankful to Jodie’s father.”

Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him the way she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”

Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn’t seem angry or hurt. “Well,” he said, “they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”

The place really smell too good. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don’t worry, kid. In five minutes you won’t smell a thing.” said her father.

Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soom got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.

“Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making other happy. That’s why I like being a garbageman so much.”

Jodie give her dirty, smeely garbageman daddy a big kiss(吻). She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbagegirl!”

Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

Tennis has been called a gentleman’ s sport. At first, tennis was a sport of only kings in France and England. It was played differently from today. In 1874, the first tennis club was opened. Since then, there have been more and more tennis clubs and games in many countries. 61Now tennis is one of the most popular games in the world.

There are three main kinds of courts depending on the materials used for the court surface: clay courts, hard courts and grass courts.

The clay court is the most common in Europe. The French Open is played on this kind of court.

The grass court is the traditional tennis court. The most famous tennis game, Wimbledon (England), is played on grass courts.

The U.S. Open and the Australian Open use hard courts. Hard courts can vary（變化）in speed, although they are faster than clay courts but not as fast as grass courts.

At tennis games, we find young boys or girls who rush into the court to collect balls during a game. They are called ball boys or girls. They are chosen from applicant（申請人），and then trained before the game begins.

62It is an honor for kids to be in a big game. They are often given a lot of free things, like clothes, caps, even shoes, and the most important is the chance to be near tennis stars. They will learn a lot from the stars. Many tennis stars were ball boys or girls when they were younger.

A.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答問題。

Which court is the fastest of the three kinds of courts?

You Can Make a Windsock(風筒)

Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.

You will need:

● one piece of heavy colored paper ● five ribbons

● strong tape ● a string

● a pencil

What to do:

Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.

Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges(邊緣) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.

Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.

Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.

Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around on its own!

1.You draw pictures on the paper to make the windsock ________.

A. fun B. heavy C. strong D. special

2.Which of these things do you need for Step 2?

3.What do you do after you put ribbons through the holes in the tube?

C. Tie knots in the ribbons. D. Put a string through the hole.

4.What is probably the most important to make a windsock work?

A. Its shape. B. Its size.

C. The color of the paper. D. The number of the holes.

5.What is the main purpose of this article?

A. To tell an interesting story. B. To explain how to do something.
