Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. (that means sitting at the table, with clean hands). If Mum is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet (that means turn down the music and the TV).

Take the rubbish to the street on Monday morning before school. Clean the bathroom on Thursday.‎ Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. At other times, it can be difficult. For example, if your room is really dirty, and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with anything else you have to do. That can be hard.‎ Mum made these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and neat (整洁的), and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules.‎ ‎( )31.

It can be watched at Scholastic.com. In it, she encourages more young people to “open a possible world” through books.‎ The students communicating with Swift on Skype were from Troy, Michigan, and Poway‎, ‎California.

A few days later, small yellow flowers will begin to form on the vine. One of these flowers will become a small, pale yellow pumpkin.‎ Finally, the small yellow pumpkin will grow into a large orange one. At this ‎ stage, it is important to rotate (转动) the pumpkin so that all sides receive the same amount of sunlight. When the pumpkin has reached a deep orange colour, it is ready to harvest (收获). Now, you can use your pumpkin to make a delicious pie.‎ ‎( )41. How deep should pumpkin seeds be planted into the ground?‎ A. 1 inch. B. 2 inches. C. 3 inches. D. 4 inches.‎ ‎( )42.
