Last weekend Victor joined in an interesting ...

Last weekend Victor joined in an interesting event at the Civic Center. It was the Bamboo Expo. "I advise that anyone who likes to learn about new things should go there next weekend. It's your last chance," Victor told his friends this morning.

Victor didn't think he would enjoy it very much, but he really did. He never dreamed that so many things could be made from bamboo. In countries such as China, Japan and India, people have used bamboo in many ways for thousands of years. One display at the Expo was set up as a bamboo hut, like many found in Southeast Asia. The walls were bamboo. The roof was covered with bamboo leaves. The pipes bringing water into the house and out into the fields were bamboo. So were the cooking pots, drinking cups and shoes. Even the bed was made of bamboo.

Victor also learned that it isn't just pandas that eat tender bamboo shoots. The shoots are eaten with rice by millions of people in Asia.

"Here in the US, we're just getting to ,know bamboo," Victor said. "We're starting to realize how useful this light but strong plant can be. I'll never think of bamboo in the same way again. Now I'll see it in my home, thanks to what I bought at the show. Check it out! There's much to see, buy and learn."

1.When will the Bamboo Expo end?

2.Did Victor think he would enjoy the Bamboo Expo before he went there?

3.How long have people in China, Japan and India used bamboo?

4.What's the Chinese meaning for the underlined words "a bamboo hut"?

5.What does Victor mainly tell us in this passage?

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(员工) 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 won't 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,                                                                Carmen Rivera
