Do you use a calendar to help you organize your life? By listing what you need to do on any special day, you can make sure to keep all for your appointments and not worry whether you've forgotten something. Calendars are also useful for reminding(提醒) people what day a certain holiday is on and what days you might have off from work. Besides, they are used for planning fun things like vacations and outings.

A calendar is usually divided into twelve parts, and each one stands for a month with all the days laid out in a grid-like (網(wǎng)格狀的) form. A block of space usually is for a day, and there is enough space for you to write down what you need to do on that certain day. You probably use all different kinds of calendars. A calendar on your cell phone screen is easy to use, and so is a large paper calendar that hangs on your wall.

Here is one page of Mary's calendar and it shows her plans in May.

Daughter’s final song for father

By Xu Lingyi, 13, Mercy High School, US

What is the most surprising thing in summer? A seaside vacation? Some good family time? Or a song that changes your whole life? These all happened to Ronnie, the main character of the book The Last Song (2009). It was written by United States author Nicholas Sparks.

Since Ronnie’s parents divorced (離婚) when she was 14, she had been staying with her mom in New York. Her father, who used to be her piano teacher, lived alone in North Carolina. She was so angry with her dad that she had not talked with him or played the piano ever since they divorced. However, the summer before she turned 18, her mom sent her to North Carolina. At first, Ronnie was frustrated about it. But things changed when her dad found some turtle (海龜) eggs. She learned more about the turtles at the local aquarium (水族館) and set up a cage to protect the eggs.

The turtle broke the tough（堅(jiān)固的）wall between Ronnie and her dad. However, it was on the day the eggs hatched（孵化）that Ronnie found out her dad was dying of cancer. That was why her mom asked her to visit him. Ronnie was very upset. She started playing the piano again and wrote a song for him before he died. Ronnie deeply impressed me. Though she looks rebellious (叛逆的) in the book, she is gentle. She even slept outside the whole night just to protect the turtle eggs. She loves her father.

It is a meaningful story. It teaches us about the relationship with our parents and how to express love to our parents.

A. was written by Ronnie B. is a book whose main character is Ronnie

D. Ronnie kept a good relationship with her dad even after the divorce.

3.What’s the meaning of frustrated in paragraph 2?

A. Unhappy B. Afraid. C. Excited. D. Happy.

4.What happened during Ronnie’s stay with her dad?

A. Ronnie and her dad’s relationship got worse. B. Ronnie found that her dad got married.

C. Ronnie refused to play the piano again. D. Ronnie found that her dad was dying of cancer.

5.Which of the following is the writer Xu Lingyi’s opinion ?

A. Xu doesn’t like Ronnie because she is rebellious.

B. Xu thinks it was wrong that Ronnie slept outside the whole night.
