It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day?” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.”
When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed thatthe grass was not always greener on the other side.
1.Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays?
2.When did the twins get up on Saturdays?
3.What was the twins’ plan when they decided to do something different?
4.How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson?
5.Why did the ballet teacher become impatient?
6.What does the underlined part “the grass was not always greener on the other side” at the end of the story try to tell us?

Tony’s family was preparing dinner when Amy arrived. The family was cooking vegetables with hot oil. The k2.was filled with many good smells. “You can help me set the table.” Tony told his friend. They gave each person a pair of chopsticks, a soup bowl, a soup spoon, and a rice bowl on a plate.
“Where are the forks and knives?” Amy asked.
“Oh, you won’t n3.those.” Tony explained.” I will show you how to use chopsticks. Don’t worry.”
Tony’s mother put different foods which were unfamiliar to Amy onto big plates. She asked the kids to carry the food-filled plates out to the table. Amy carried roast duck. It was one of the f4.dishes she recognized.
Amy was a little nervous about eating with chopsticks. Tony gave her instructions on how to do it. Amy finally managed to hold the chopsticks. Just when she picked up a piece of chicken in her chopsticks, her fingers s5.lost control of them, and the chicken flew across the table. It landed in Tony’s soup with a splash(飞溅). E6.at the table smiled.
Tony’s father kindly brought out a fork and knife. He handed them to Amy .Amy felt more c7.. She ate the rest of her dinner easily. It was delicious!
At the end of the meal, Amy was given a fortune cookie(签语饼干). She broke it open and read the small note inside,” If you practice hard, you will learn many things.” Amy laughed and said,” if you let me take home a pair of chopsticks, my fortune may come true!
