Last Saturday, my cousin and I went around our neighbourhood, looking at things in yard sales. You wouldn’t believe the great things we found and the great fun we had!

The yard sale in our neighbourhood is one of the biggest in the area. It started with only a few families, but as more and more people came to care about the environment, it became more and more popular. Now, even people from a few kilometers away come to the sale. Each family puts out things such as books, clothes，and even ovens. They hope others will find another use for those things.

The day was quite hot，so we got up quite early. First, we stopped at Ms. Fisher’s house. Her son was leaving for college, so there were lots of things he no longer needed. He had several sets of music CDs and lots of good books. Guess what? I found one of my favorite books. What was more，all I had to pay was a dollar. What a deal! Then, we moved on to other houses. The street was full of people and everyone was happy.

Think about it. It’s really good for the environment and for people too. Next time you feel like an adventure (探险), check out a yard sale. It’s fun, and it’s a great way to use things again.

1.Yard sales are becoming popular in the neighborhood mainly because _________ .

Acupuncture is known as “zhenjiu” in Chinese. Growing up, I'd always considered it out of date. As we know, acupuncture treatment lasts a long period and causes a lot of pain. Sometimes simply taking a pill can treat the same illness. But my experience made me change my mind.

Last month, I slept through a flight from London to Beijing. When I woke up, I found that I could no longer move my right arm and fingers. There was no pain. My arm simply didn't follow my brain's instructions to move, as if it was no longer mine.

One doctor said he could do nothing but give me some pills. “Rest for two months first and come back for an examination.” I felt great fear.

When I felt helpless, my friend, an acupuncturist in Sichuan, offered to help. I started my acupuncture treatment the next day. At first, I was worried. After a few days, I could move my fingers. Two weeks later, I could use chopsticks. Within a month, I got almost well. It was amazing. How do these tiny needles treat illnesses? Is it magic? Or simply luck? I tried to find out.

Acupuncture first appeared in China more than 2，000 years ago. It works by improving the smooth flow of “qi”. “Qi” flows through “jingluo” throughout the body.

Although acupuncture can't treat all illnesses, at least it creates a good starting point to build a healthy body. Recently, it has spread internationally, which shows the power of acupuncture. I hope this kind of traditional Chinese medicine will bring health and happiness to friends all over the world.

Is a nearby neighbour better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it's true. Her kind neighbours once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.

Mrs Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow(修剪) her lawn(草坪). Then a big trouble found her.

Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears(感动得落泪). “I cannot believe this,” she said. “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn't even know their names.” As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.
