Young Larry goes into Mr. Smith's Clothes Store. Mr. Smith sees him and says, "Can I help you?" Young Larry thinks for a minute and says, "Er, yes, good morning, Mr. Smith, I need two green sweaters for 15 dollars each, a pair of black shoes for 28 dollars, socks for two dollars for three pairs and three skirts in purple for 20 dollars each." Mr. Smith looks at young Larry in surprise (惊讶). He doesn't think a child can pay for (支付) them, but he thinks maybe Larry's mother asks her son to do so. He goes into the store happily and takes out a big bag to put the clothes in. Young Larry stops and asks, "How much are these clothes?" "120 dollars." Mr. Smith answers. "Now, if (如果) I give you 200 dollars, how much change can I get?" asks Larry. "Eighty dollars." Mr. Smith answers. "If I go on (继续) to take a yellow jacket for twenty dollars, how much change can I get then?" "Sixty dollars. That's for sure." Mr. Smith answers with a little anger (生气). "Er, in fact," Larry says at last, "I don't want to buy the things. I ask you that just because it's my math homework, it's difficult for me, I need some help. Thank you, Mr. Smith, Goodbye!"

The birthday is a special day for most people. We may spend much time celebrating (庆祝) it. On our birthday, we may go for a trip, have a party or watch a movie with our parents and friends. We can also have some special food. Do you know what people eat on their birthday around the world? Here are three people from different countries (国家). They tell us what food they eat on their birthday. Lin Tao is from Shanghai. "The long noodles are a symbol of long life. In China, red is a symbol of good luck. We think red eggs bring us good luck. So you can see the Chinese eat long noodles and red eggs when they celebrate their birthday," says Lin Tao. "I am so happy because today is my birthday. I want to have a birthday party. At the party, we can play games, sing and dance. We can also eat a big birthday cake with fifteen candles (蜡烛). I'm sure we can have a good time at my birthday party," says David from America. "In Canada, people put a coin (便币) into the cake. If the birthday person eats the cake with the coin, he or she will be lucky (幸运的). I am so happy because I eat the cake with a coin," says Sandy.

David eats well every day. For breakfast, he has bread, eggs and milk. At school, he has vegetables and rice for lunch. After lunch, he eats an apple. In the evening, he has chicken and fruit salad at home. David dislikes milk, but Mom says it is healthy. So he drinks it every day. After eight in the evening, he doesn't have food. Every day, David does some sports to be healthy. He plays tennis in the morning and plays basketball after school.
