1．
（1）Why do Syd and Bryan write letter？
Dear Mother and Dad，
My roommate Syd，may be a problem.He's so careless.He whistles （吹口哨） real loud through this gap in his front teeth，too，Plus，he knocked over our lamp and broke it.Syd also wears a funny blue hat for good luck，but I don't think it's working.
Love，BryanDear Mom and Pop， 
My roommate Bryan，seems kind of jumpy，like our cat when you turn on the cleaner.He hung up a big poster of all the constellations （星座），so maybe he'll teach me how to find them.I'm sure we'll be best friends.Guess what？Our camp got a new lamp.
Love，Syd
Dear Mother and Dad，
Syd invites trouble like my giant magnets attract paper clips.We went for a hike，and Syd stepped on a wasps' （黄蜂） nest.The wasps were not happy.He raced down the path，and the rest of us ran the other way.Poor Syd got stung （蛰） twice on his face.Now he has huge chipmunk cheeks.Of course，he can still whistle，but I don't mind anymore.
Love，BryanDear Mom and Pop， 
I plan to join the cross-country team.Today I ran half a mile in about three minutes.The wasps running after me probably helped a little.Did you know that some wasps make their nestson the ground？Dad，will you help me train for cross-country when I get home？
PS：I heard Bryan whistling along with me yesterday.Last night，he showed me the Big Dipper Constellation.Then we made up a new constellation and named it Wasper.We laughed our heads off.
Love，Syd

3．When I was ten，my family moved to the other side of town.I was forced to leave the familiarity of St Paul's and become "the new kid" at St Teresa's：a one-hallway school with no gym，where the other kids in my class had been together since kindergarten.I struggled to break into the crowd and spent lunchtime playing alone.

"OK，Roy Orbison has been added to the prayer list，" He winked （眨眼）.
I did it!This must be another way we kids make new friends：you just pray for someone.
I had never met Roy Orbison，nor did I have his album.But because of Roy，a little girl named Christine came up to me and said，"I'm really sorry for your loss.If you're not busy with the funeral （葬礼），maybe you can come over and play after school."

The alarm sounded sharply.Seven thirty.Too early for a Saturday!And much earlier for her birthday!Rosa thought about her birthdays in hometown，when her grandmother，Abuelita，would make a cake for her，humming （哼） old songs in the kitchen.
"Rosa!Hurry!"
Yes，Mama，" Rosa called.She wanted to stay in bed，but ever since she had turned fourteen，Saturdays here meant helping Mama at hair salon （发廊）."Where is papa？" Rosa asked. "He left an hour ago.We must go，too，" said Mama.
Rosa and Mama hurried to the bus stop.Sharing the umbrella made them hit into each other.Mama laughed.Rosa didn't think it was funny. " I don't like here，" she said. " I miss everything about hometown，especially Abuelita! " I miss her too，" Mama said."But there is more work here.We are able to send money to Abuelita." Rosa nodded.Still，it was hard.
As Rosa arrived，the salon was already full of people. "Hello，" said Morena，Rosa's cousin.
Rosa took the towels from a basket and started to fold （叠） them.She took a deep breath of their clean fresh smell，and was reminded again of the flowers of Abuelita. "I kept thinking about Abuelita.I miss her so much，especially today!" Rosa said. "Me，to，"Morena smiled. "But that won't get this work done."
Rosa carried the towels to the sinks （水池）.All the chairs were filled with waiting customers.Rosa hurried over.Mama was shampooing （...用洗发水） an old lady with a towel across her face. "Here we are.Rosa has brought you another towel." Mama gently lifted the lady's head and placed the towel at the base of her neck. "Better？" The woman's face was still covered，and she didn't speak，but she waved her hand as if to say yes.
As Mama continued，the lady hummed an old song softly.
