Dear Disney,

       Last weekend,the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

       We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain,only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

       Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy,one of the staff (員工) members,came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for、her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said ,“Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream,and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough,as we walked out the exit,there was Gloria's new friend with “her” ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened,because we know that an ice-cream won5t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride;she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said ,“Thank you”’ but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

       We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

                                                              Your fan,

(B1  One of Millie's favourite British writers is jane Austen. She wonts to find out more about the writer. She has found this article on the Internet. Read it with her.

       Jane Austen—a great British writer 

Jane Austen is one of Britain's greatest female writers. She was born on 16 December 1775. She was the seventh of eight children and never lived apart from her family. To entertain themselves,the children wrote and performed plays. Even as a little girl,Jane was encouraged to write.

As a young woman,Jane enjoyed dancing,and she went to many parties that were held in the great houses of the neighbourhood. She loved the country and enjoyed long country walks.

At the age of 14 ,Jane Austen wrote her first novel,Love and Friendship. In her early twenties she began to write her most famous novels—Sense and Sensibility,Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey. Yet these books were not published until many years later. Northanger Abbey was not published until 1818 —a year after her death.

Sadly,Jane became very ill while she was still young. She died in her sister's arms on 18 July 1817. None of the books that were published in Jane Austen's lifetime had her name on them—they were described as being written "by a lady” .

As a result,Jane Austen was not very famous in her lifetime,and her books only became popular after her death. Her books are now some of the most read and studied books in the world.
