I felt lost and kept asking (4) (我自己)what fun I could have during the day.Mom offered me a challenge.

I (6) (选择) the biggest ant in the yard and followed it.I saw it create a bridge to cross a (7) (深的) hole. I dropped some bread and soon it began (8) (吃). It even brought friends to carry some home. I never thought watching ants could be so much fun.

Now Beth is thirteen and gives concerts around the country.She also has her own YouTube channel and(4) (get) over a million hits a year.What's amazing is that Beth hasn't ever been to(5) drum lesson. "You can learn anything on the Internet, so I've never felt it was important for me t1o take classes," explains Beth.
Giving concerts wasn't easy for Beth in the beginning because usually she only played drums alone in her bedroom when she came home(6) school. At her first concert, she played in a band with many(7) (adult). She could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her,(8) that made her feel afraid.

A few weeks before we left home, there was much (3) (雨) in the area we were going to. But luckily the weather was OK at last. However, I was (4) (忙碌的) at work so I didn't think about what needed doing.But Harry promised he'd take care of everything,so I knew everything would be all right.
After arriving in Canada, we packed our (5) (工具) into small boats and set off.Since very few people now lived along that coast, the only other living animals we saw for the first few days were dolphins and birds.
We often stopped for hours to explore the (6) (岩石) pools on the beaches. And we never (7) (忘记) lunch or dinner, though, which we all made together over camp fires.When we (8) (最后) fell asleep on the boats each evening, even though the beds were hard, it really felt like stress﹣free living!

But with social distancing (社交距离) rules in(2) United States, many summer camps face difficult decisions. Can they(3) (safe) welcome campers this year? Do they need to close for the season? Or should(4) change how they carry out their programs?
"Most camps are asking not only when they're going to open,(5) also how they're going to open," says Tom Rosenberg, president of the ACA. He says that many camps (6) (wait) on instructions from the government now.
"The state's summer camps could open(7) June," Beth Bye, the leader of the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, said a week ago."But there need to be (8) (strict) health rules than ever. Most programs will not (9) (allow) to have more than 30 kids."
