Make Albertsville Shine
After a long and snowy winter, spring has finally come to Albertsville. The leaves are out on the trees, and the grass is green again. All around town, people are cleaning up their homes. They are pulling weeds and planting flowers. They are sweeping yards and washing windows. Before long, Albertsville will look as fresh and shiny as a new coin, right?
Definitely not. Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town. There is litter everywhere: fast food wrappers, soft drink cans, plastic bags, and more. This litter is dirty and ugly. It takes the shine off our lovely town.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. In many neighboring towns, volunteer groups “adopt” a mile of a street or road to keep clean. The groups include schools, churches, and clubs. Volunteers pick up litter, cut bushes, wash sidewalks, and even plant flowers!
Sure, the volunteers work hard, but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town. Better yet, they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live.
So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for? Talk to people in your school, church, or club about adopting part of a street or road. Then get to work! If enough volunteer groups get busy, Albertsville really will shine this spring.

A. a lack of trees B. trash on the roads C. dirty and ugly houses D. bad weather in spring

A few years ago, New York City had a blackout(停电) which caused all the TV stations to go out for several hours.
When the TV went off in the Bufkins house, panic began. First, Bufkins thought something was wrong with his TV set in the living room, so he rushed into his bedroom and turned on another set. Nothing. Mrs. Bufkins said to her husband, “It isn’t your set. The power is off.”
Bufkins said, “Who are you?” “I am your wife, Edith.”
“Oh,” Bufkins said. “then I suppose those kids in there are mine. ”
“That’s right. If you ever got out of that armchair in front of the TV set, you’d know us.” “Boy, they’ve really grown,” Bufkins said, looking at his son and daughter. “How old are they now?”
“Thirteen and fourteen,” Mrs. Bufkins replied. “I’ll be darned. Hi, kids.”
“Who’s he?” Bufkins’ son, Henry, asked.
“It’s your father,” Mrs. Bufkins said.
“I’m pleased to meetcha,” Bufkins’ daughter, Mary, said shyly. There was an embarrassed silence all around.
“Well, what school do you go to?”
“We go to Forest High School,” Bufkins’ son, Henry said. “What do you do?” Mary asked.
“I thought you were a car salesman,” Mrs. Bufkins said.

“Yup, I’m doing quite well, too.” Bufkins said.
“Then why am I working in a department store?” Mrs. Bufkins demanded.
“Oh, are you still working in a department store? If I had known that, I would have told you to quit last year. You should have mentioned it.” Bufkins said.
There was more dead silence. Finally Henry said, “Hey, you want to hear me play the guitar?” “You know how to play the guitar? Say, didn’t I have a daughter who played the guitar? ” “That was Susie. She got married a year ago, just about the time you were watching the World Cup.” Mrs. Bufkins said.
