We know that trees are useful in our everyday life. They give us 1 things, such as wood, oxygen, rubber（橡胶）, medicines 2 many other things. They can also tell us a lot about our climate. The following are the reasons. If you cut 348 a tree, you can see that it has many rings. Most trees grow one new ring 4 year. Because of this, we know how old a tree is. A tree over a hundred 5 means that it has more than a hundred 6 . When the climate is dry or very cold, the trees do not grow very much and their rings 7 usually thin. When it is wet and warm, the rings
8 thicker. If the rings are suddenly very thin or suddenly very thick, it means that the 9 changed suddenly. If we look at the rings on the tree, we can learn about the climate in the past years. We can see

Last year, over 11,000 abandoned dogs were put down by government dogcatchers. Why? Because there was too little kennel space to keep them. Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) is a charity that rescues and finds homes for unwanted dogs. It’s a huge task and if this had received more support last year, fewer dogs would have been put down.
To support the efforts of HKDR, the Social Service Club held a fun festival last weekend. ‘We hoped the festival would raise money and also raise people’s awareness of the point of abandoned pets,’ said Louise Wong, the club president.
The club organized stalls second-hand clothes, delicious homemade cupcakes and even the fashions to keep pet dogs warm in the winter. Although there were fewer stalls than last year, items were sold. Louise explained that this was because prices were not set too high this year.
The festival also performances by the school choir and the hip hop group HK Boys. The crowd was extremely excited, and some members of the said there was too much noise to hear the performers. Louise admitted that everyone would have been able to hear if there had been better sound equipment.
The most interesting part of the day was the dance challenge, with contestants(选手) showing off some amazing moves. This year there were more contestants than last year. According to Louise, that was because the prizes, including G. E.M. concert tickets, were better. , this year’s fun festival was a big success. It raised far more money than last year: a record HK$12,000. And the festival also raised joy among the special guests – some of our four legged friends from HKDR!

There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. Then a stranger came in one day, drank something, around the bar, and then said to Mr. Webster, “Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put a picture of a black horse .”
“But the name of the bar is The White Horse,” Mr. Webster said. “Yes, but do it.” the man said. Then he went out of the bar. Mr. Webster went to and said, “I want a picture of a black horse.”
later a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of the white horse. Soon after the door , a man came in and said, “There’s a on the door of your bar. It is surprising that the picture is different from the name.” The man looked, sat down and something. Then another man came in and said , and then another and another.
