13 February Dear Diary, Today I borrowed a book about Starlight Town's past and present. Starlight Town was very beautiful years ago. There were green hills and wild birds near the lake. The air was clean and fresh then. Now it has become a modern town. There is a new railway station. There are some new roads too. People can now travel to and from the town by bus, taxi or train, but in the past, people could only travel by bus or bicycle. Another big change is the many tall buildings in the town. Local people used to live in old houses, but now, most of them have moved into new flats. Starlight Town has changed a lot over the years. I hope I can visit it again.

A trip to Hong Kong
一次香港之旅
Kitty is visiting Hong Kong during the winter holiday. She has written a letter to Millie about Hong Kong Disneyland. Here is the letter.
基蒂打算在寒假期间参观香港。她已经给米莉写了一封关于香港迪斯尼乐园的信。这就是那封信。
Hi Millie, How are you? We haven't seen each other since last week. I miss you so much! My parents and I have been in Hong Kong for two days. We're having a fantastic time here. Today we spent the whole day at Disneyland. We got to the park by underground. First, we had fun on Space Mountain—an indoor roller coaster in the dark. It moved at high speed and was really exciting! We were screaming and laughing through the ride. Next, we hurried to a restaurant to have a quick meal. On the way, we met some Disney cartoon characters, such as Snow White and Mickey Mouse. They were so cute. Everybody got excited when a parade of Disney characters began later in the afternoon. It was the best part of the day. I ran after them and couldn't stop taking photos.After the parade, we watched a 4-D film. It was like magic. We could even smell the apple pie and feel the wind. Then we did some shopping. I bought a couple of key rings for classmates. I'm sure you'll love them. At the end of the day, we watched the fireworks in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The castle looked bright and beautiful under the fireworks. I know you've gone to Hainan. Hope you've enjoyed yourself there! See you soon. Yours, Kitty
你好,米莉 你好吗?自从上个星期以来我们就没见过对方了。我非常想你!我和我的父母已经在香港呆两天了。我们在这玩得非常开心。今天我们在迪斯尼乐园度过了整整一天。 我们是坐地铁到达公园的。首先,我们在太空山——一个黑暗处的室内过山车上玩得很开心。它以高速移动,真的很令人兴奋!整个旅途中我们都在尖叫和大笑。 接着,我们赶往一家餐馆吃了顿快餐。在路上,我们遇见了一些迪斯尼卡通人物,例如白雪公主和米老鼠。他们极其可爱。 在下午稍晚一点的时候,当迪斯尼人物的游行开始时,每个人都变得很兴奋。它是这一天当中最精彩的部分。我跟着他们跑,忍不住一直拍照片。游行表演过后,我们看了一部4D电影。它就像魔法一样。我们甚至都能闻到苹果派的味道,并且能感觉得到风的存在。 然后我们买了些东西。我给同学们买了几个钥匙环。我相信你们会喜欢的。 在这一天的最后,我们在睡美人城堡前面看了烟花。在焰火下这座城堡看上去既明亮又美丽。 我知道你已经去了海南。希望你在那儿玩得开心! 再见。 你的, 基蒂

After our ship crashed against the rocks, I swam as far as I could. By the time I finally felt the land under my feet, I was tired out. I fell down on the beach and went to sleep.
在我们的船撞到礁石损坏之后,我奋力前游。等到我最终感觉到大地在我的脚下时,我已筋疲力尽了。我倒在了沙滩上,跟着就睡着了。
I woke up as the sun was rising, but I found I could not move. My arms, legs and hair were tied to the ground!
当太阳正在升起时,我醒了,但是我发现我动不了了。我的胳膊、腿和头发都被拴在了地上!
Then I felt something on my leg. It moved up over my stomach and neck until it was standing near my face. I looked down and saw a very small man. He was the same size as my little finger! Where was I? Who was this tiny person?
然后我感觉到有什么东西在我的腿上。它在我的肚子和脖子上面往上移动着,直到它正站到我的脸附近为止。我向下望去,看见一个非常小的人儿。他不过就我小手指那么点大!我在哪儿?这个小人儿是谁?
Soon more small men started climbing all over me. There were around 40 of them.I shouted at them—the loud noise made them all fall over. However, they soon got up again and continued moving across my body.
很快,更多的小人儿开始爬遍我全身。他们大约有40个人。我朝他们大喊着——那洪亮的响声使他们都摔倒了。然而,他们很快又爬起来,继续在我身上走动。
