I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返) trip in 45 minute.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip---- so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. it was not cheap, but I felt it would be worth to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.

Is it a tree? Is it a bear? If you‘re looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it‘s a topiary(林木雕塑)。A topiary is a tree or bush(灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden take both time and skills.
A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the final shape that the gardener likes. The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that just planted or one that is already in place.

The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day the feelings were told that the island would sink, so all built boats and left, except Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out(坚持) until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a big boat. Love said,―Richness, can you take me with you?‖
Richness answered,―No, I can‘t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.‖ Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣心) who was also passing by in a beautiful ship.―Vanity, please help me!‖ ―I can‘t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage(破坏) my boat,‖Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked,―Sadness, let me go with you.‖ ―Oh…Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!‖
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice,―Come, Love, I will take you.‖It was an elder. So thankful and happy, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed(欠) the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder,―Who helped me?‖
