话题:“谷雨”节气
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain, as the last term in spring, originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains.”
Key time for agriculture
Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. It brings a marked increase in temperature and rainfall and the grains grow faster and stronger. It's a key time to protect the crops from insect pests.
Drinking tea
There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids, which can help to remove heat from the body and is good for the eyes.
Eating toona sinensis
People in northern China have the tradition to eat toona sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes, “Toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk.” The vegetable is nutritious and can help to strengthen the immune system.
Grain Rain Festival
The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villages in the coastal areas of northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen's first voyage of the year. People worship the sea and stage sacrifice rites on the Grain Rain Festival, praying for a bountiful harvest and a safe voyage for their loved ones.

话题:愚人节恶作剧
A Memorable April Fool's Day
I really like to trick people, especially my friends, Cherry and Harry. But after one particular day, when a strange incident happened, it changed. I learned a lot on that day.
What is the awful incident? Well, it all started when Miss Beth introduced us to a new exchange student, Pei. “She is very tall,” I said to Cherry. “Speaking of heights, wouldn't she be perfect in the cheerleading team?” Cherry asked. “Maybe... Well, we'd better keep quiet. Miss Beth is looking at us,” I said.
Surprisingly, I was assigned to guide the new girl around. During the break, I wanted to start a conversation with Pei, so I quickly approached her. “Hey, Pei,” I said. “Hello,” she replied politely. I had a short chat with her and she seemed to be a nice person. Before going home, I showed Pei around.
The next day, I was very excited because it was April Fool's Day. I planned to trick my friends with Pei since she was new. I really hoped that she would cooperate with me. So, I quickly ran to her before our English period started.
Unfortunately, Matt, a naughty schoolboy came to our classroom, realising that there wasn't any teacher in. “Go away!” I shouted. As usual, he ignored that. I took Pei's notebook and hit Matt until it fell on the floor. Well... it wasn't actually a notebook. It was Pei's diary. “Ooh, it's a diary!” shouted Matt. Then, he started to read out Pei's diary loudly. “I really think Mal is bossy and...” Matt kept reading all of Pei's inner thoughts.
I could see that Pei was embarrassed. She grabbed her diary from Matt and ran outside the classroom. I was quite upset and had a bad feeling about the whole thing. After a while, I jumped out of seat to follow her just to say sorry. However, I couldn't find her anywhere before the school bell rang, I had to walk back to the classroom.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then Miss Beth walked into our classroom for our English period.

[参考范文]
Then Miss Beth walked into our classroom for our English period. She noticed that Pei was missing. “Where's Pei?” Miss Beth asked. “We don't know,” answered the whole class. Suddenly, our class monitor stood up and told Miss Beth about the incident that happened earlier. I could see that Miss Beth was upset. She asked me to meet her at the staffroom before going home. “I am in boiling water,” I said to Cherry. “Don't worry. Everything will be fine,” Cherry told me.
After school, I went to the staffroom to meet Miss Beth. “Miss Beth, did you want to meet me?” I asked politely. “Yes, but can we go out?” she replied. “Sure,” I said. After we went out, I saw Cherry, Harry, and most surprisingly Pei. I was too shocked to speak. Then, Cherry explained and told me that this was an April fool trick. I was relieved after finding out that Pei wasn't actually missing. Well, my own trick blew up in my face. But this experience made me feel closer to my friends as well as my teacher.
