Take Time It was Tuesday morning and Jake's mother was driving him to school.As usual，they were driving down busy Fortieth Street.Jake's mother was driving as fast as the speed limit and traffic allowed.Jake sat in the back seat，daydreaming as he looked out the window.They were passing a city park，and it flew past him quickly. "That park is blocking （阻挡） our way，" Jake's mother said unhappily. "If I could drive right through it，we'd be at school in no time，but I have to drive all the way around it."
The next day，as usual，Jake's mother was driving him to school.Jake was looking out the window.Suddenly，he saw something shoot up from out of the trees.Just as quickly，it disappeared.At least，he thought he saw something，but they had speeded by so quickly that he was uncertain.
The following day，once again Jake and his mother were on their way to school.This time，Jake paid special attention as they passed the park.Tree after tree rushed by，when- there!There it was again!Jake wanted to find out what it was in the park，but his mother said he had a lot to do in the school and she was too busy to walk in the park.Jake begged his mother and she finally agreed to go and see it on the weekend!
On Saturday morning，Jake and his mother finally walked into the park and down a wooded path.Approaching （接近） the middle of the park，they discovered a large and lovely water fountain（喷泉）.Every so often，it would shoot a burst of water high into the air. "Mom，this is what I saw shooting up out of the park on our way to school!" Jake said excitedly.
Jake's mother smiled happily. "What an enjoyable walk!Let's come here more often，" she suggested. "In fact，we don't always have to drive to school.Let's walk to school when the weather is nice，and we can walk through this park on our way."
"Sure!" Jake happily agreed.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
