17．　　My name is Eric. Last July, I went to Walt Disney World in Orland, Florida. It was a wonderful trip because I spent time with my family. I went there with my dad, mom, brother and sister. We had lots of fun there.
　　We took my dad's new car to Florida. It was a long trip but we enjoyed ourselves on the way.
　　We went to a dinner show — Jolly Holiday. It has funny characters (人物) and lots of singing. We enjoyed it.
　　I went on rides with my dad, brother and sister. We went to Splash Mountain. We went through a tunnel (隧道). We saw different Disney characters. My mom took photos of me with different Disney characters. We saw Cinderella at the Magic Kingdom. She gave a show with her friends. At the Beach Club Resort, my family saw Chip and Dale. They walked around to meet everyone.

18．　　As time goes by, everything in our life improves. Do you want to know about what our homes will be like in the future? Here are some predictions:
　　Want to take a shower when you get home? You'll be able to let your smart water heater (热水器) to start heating up when you 're on your way home.

19．　　Elephants are the largest animals on land. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars.
　　Some people think it's not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that's wrong. Sometimes, a needle can also be very dangerous for the elephant.
　　People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal.
　　People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called "elephant graveyard". Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories (象牙), but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves until they get better or die.
