Kyle got off the bus and hurried to catch up with Ethan. “What are you doing this afternoon?” asked Kyle.
“I’m going to ride a bike with Mason.” Ethan walked faster, hoping Kyle would stop following him.
Kyle smiled, “I love riding a bike, too. I’ll get my bike.”
Before Ethan could say something, Kyle ran inside his house. Ethan walked home, feeling unhappy.
“What’s up, Ethan?” asked Spencer.
“Kyle won’t leave me alone. Everywhere I look, there he is. He just invited himself to ride a bike with Mason and me.”
“Hmm,” said Spencer. “Come here. I want to show you something.”
Spencer led Ethan to the photo album (相册) their mum kept on the coffee table. He opened it and pointed to a picture. “See this?”
Ethan said, “Yeah, that’s from when we went fishing (去钓鱼) with your friend Brian.”
“And this picture of us at the water park,” said Spencer. “Remember that?”
“Yeah, we all got wet.”
“Right. Check out other pictures on the page,” said Spencer. “Do you notice anything about all these pictures?”
Ethan said, “Yeah, we had a lot of fun that summer.”
Spencer said, “That was the summer before Mason moved to town. You followed me and my friends everywhere we went.”
“I did?” Ethan thought back to that summer. “Wait, so you didn’t really want me around?”
“No, it’s just that you invited yourself because you didn’t have good friends of your own.”
“So you think Kyle follows me around because he doesn’t have other good friends?”
“Yes. Do you know anyone who you think might get along well with Kyle?”
Ethan thought for a moment. “Tim’s kind of quiet at school. He’d love a new friend.”
“Then call Tim and invite him along. He and Kyle might become good friends.”

People use the words “mouse” and “rat” when talking about small animals with round ears, a pointy (尖的) nose, and a long tail. However, there are many different kinds of rats and mice, such as the Norway rat, black rat, house mouse, and deer mouse. The most common rat that people see is the Norway rat, while the house mouse is the most common mouse that people find in their homes.新*课标*第*一*网
If you can’t tell the differences between a rat and a mouse, you are not alone. The Norway rat and the house mouse both come from an animal, which lived millions of years ago. As a result, they have much in common. Both Norway rats and house mice have long tails, whiskers (须), and round ears. They also have similar (相似的) colours, including grey and brown.
However, there are many differences between Norway rats and house mice. The Norway rat is much bigger than the house mouse. A Norway rat can weigh over ten times (倍) as much as a house mouse and is usually three times as large. Also, a Norway rat has big feet and small ears compared to the size of its body. But a house mouse has small feet and big ears compared to the size of its body. And its tail is longer than its body, while a Norway rat’s tail is shorter.[来源:学&科&网Z&X&X&K]

Imagine a lake that is as blue as the summer sky, with thousands of trees and high mountains around. It sounds like something from a storybook, but Lake Tahoe is a real place in California and Nevada, US. It is the second deepest lake in the United States (the deepest is Crater Lake in Oregon).
There is no place as beautiful or fun for a vacation as Lake Tahoe. It is the best place for camping, skiing (滑雪), fishing and so on. In fact, people come during every season to enjoy the lake and mountains. However, Lake Tahoe is best known for its snow sports. Most of the small towns around Lake Tahoe have hotels where families can stay when they want to ski or go snowboarding. These hotels are much more fun to stay at than the ones in other parts of the country.
Thousands of people visit Lake Tahoe each year, but the area was popular long before California and Nevada were even states. Native Americans from the Washoe tribe (部落) travelled through the mountains and lived near Lake Tahoe. In fact, the name “Tahoe” comes from a Washoe word meaning “lake”. The Washoe used the land and water for food. They even created many legends (传说) about the lake. The most famous one is the water monster (怪物) called Tahoe Tessie that lived in the lake.
While people now use Lake Tahoe mostly for fun, it is still important to keep the water and land clean. California and Nevada work together to make sure it is used wisely.
