一只猫生性懒惰，从它断奶后就不好好学习捕鼠技能。它的主人厌烦了，气呼呼地将它丢到河边。

懒猫沦落到这个地步，心想，反正地陷不下去，天塌不下来!我还会上树，怕什么呢!

这时，它看见一只饱餐后的鳄鱼安静地枕在河床上晒太阳。有几只小鸟正在啄它牙缝里的肉丝呢。懒猫有礼貌地打着招呼。很快它们成了一对好朋友，懒猫用它锋利的爪子从鳄鱼牙缝里拿肉吃。鳄鱼告诫懒猫：“你只能在这时候来，万万不可早来。”懒猫记住这条规矩，直到有一天，懒猫突发奇想：鳄鱼是不是怕我早去多吃它嘴里的肉，我不能去晚了。结果，池塘边的懒猫不见了。

Today is the first day of te new term. I got up early and checked my wintcr vacation homework before going to sclool.

While I was busy clearing up the books, Father came in with a glass of milk in his hand, Drink it up, boy .Father said to me gently.

I was in such a hurry that Ipaid no attention whether the milk was hot or not. I drank a mouthful and cried with the sound of the broken glass. What’s the matter.? Father asked anxiously. You didn’t tell me the milk was so hot. I got a blister through being scalded. Oh, it’s my fault. Are you Ok? Father turned to the kitchen after he was certain there was nothing serious with me, There is some more in the kitchen. I’ll bring it for you. Wait for me. I’II be back soon.

I was so angry with Father that I saidNo. I won’t be scalded again. Then I put all I wanted into my bag and wanted to go to school without breakfast. But I was astonished at what I saw when I turned around. Father was cooling the milk by pouring it from one glass to the other again and again. Don’t worry. It’ll be Ok soon. It’s bad for your health without breakfast. Father said with a smile of apology. Tears came into my eyes. How rude I was just now! How regretful I was! I took the glass from my father’s hand and drank it up without a stop.

What a good father I have!

As we all know,animals are our friends.I like every animal.But I like dogs best.Dogs are not only very lovely,but also very helpful.Thats why we all feed dogs at home.I often share happiness and shorrow with it, which belongs to me three years ago,called"Betty".In other words,we should treat them as our real friends.Do you agree with me?

我们都知道,动物是我们的朋友。我喜欢所有的动物。但我最喜欢狗。狗不仅是很可爱,但也很有帮助。这就是为什么我们都喂狗在家里。我经常和它分享快乐,我三年前称它为“贝蒂”。换句话说,我们应该善待我们的真正的朋友。你同意我吗?

With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, many people dream of going abroad for further study. They insist that the modern research facilities, world famous professors and excellent environment in those foreign colleges can help lay a perfect foundation for their future development.

However, there are still many people who favor studying at home. They argue that studying abroad is too expensive and doesnt pay. They also point out that there are no language and cultural barriers if they study at home.

Both opinions are acceptable in some sense. If students have the chance and financial resources, they should seize the opportunity to study abroad and broaden their eyes. On the other hand, if conditions dont permit, they can pursue their studies in top universities at home. What counts is not the place where you study, but the desire to learn.

随着我国改革开放的加深，很多人梦想着出国深造。他们认为国外大学的先进研究设备，闻名世界的教授以及优越的环境能够帮助他们为未来的发展打下完美的基础。

然而，仍然有很多人赞成在国内学习。他们认为出国留学太贵了，付不起费用。他们还指出如果他们在国内学习就不会存在语言和文化障碍。

从某种意义上说着两种观点都可以接受。如果学生拥有机会和经济来源，他们应该抓住机会出国留学，开阔他们的视野。另一方面，如果条件不允许，他们可以在国内顶级大学追求学业。重要的不是你在哪个地方学习而是你学习的渴望。

在一个卡纸上，我看见了一只兔子，一只与众不同的兔子。

在一副图上，有一只洁白如玉的兔子，身上有一朵朵盛开的花朵，有一个粉嘟嘟的小脸瑕，黑黑的眼睛望着天空。

我想，他一定在想他的主人。它的主人是谁呢?不会是嫦娥吧!如果是嫦娥的话那我真是大看眼界了!嫦娥多么美啊!长长的，花花的裙子，有和小兔一样的脸瑕，有秀丽的长发，和一颗善解人意的心。

小兔子的背景也很美。有碧绿的柳枝，在跳着舞，有亮亮的星星，在眨眼睛，有美丽的花瓣在空中跑下啦来。

多么美的画呀，可这是一个盲童画的，我相信，它的心中一定有一个太阳，不然怎么会如此明亮?

From the passage we know that thousands of endangered animals are facing the threat of being bought and sold on the internet. Traders make a great profit from it，which is illegal.

As is often read in the newspaper reports， wild life especially the rare species are threatened with extinction. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit， which， of course， results in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

Therefore， it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. First of all， it’s quite necessary for every citizen to realize the importance of animal protection. Only by knowing its importance can people develop a sense of responsibility. In addition， the government should pass some laws to forbid any hunting of rare animals.

If I were one of the endangered animals， I would hope that man could be a good friend of mine rather than my enemy.

从文中我们知道成千上万的濒危动物面临的威胁是在网上买卖。交易员有很大的利润,这是非法的。

经常在报纸上看到报道,野生动物尤其是稀有物种濒临灭绝。人类正在试图猎杀野生动物,也赚了不少钱,,当然,导致动物的数量急剧减少。

因此,是时候为我们迅速采取行动来保护他们。首先,它是非常必要的对于每一个公民意识到保护动物的重要性。只有通过了解它的重要性人们可以开发一种责任感。此外,政府应该通过一些法律来禁止任何捕猎珍稀动物。

如果我是濒危动物之一,我希望那个人可能是我的一个好朋友而不是我的敌人。

我是一个没有记性的人。自我素描一下吧，我有一双明亮的眼睛，一个简单的头脑里长着一张张口结舌的嘴巴。最大的特点的就是我头脑简单，又没有记性，经常会忘记一些事情。我忘记的事情可多了，简直数不胜数。

就是最近发生的这件事吧。那天，妈妈出去买东西，出门前叫我要把冰箱里的肉菜拿出来解冻，说完，妈妈就开门走了。我刚要拿肉菜解冻的时候，我的朋友就到我家门口敲门来了，我去开门后想：急什么?反正妈妈还没回来，我和小伙伴先玩一玩，再开冰箱也不迟。我走过去跟他们一起搭积木、起屋子，玩得兴高采烈，很快就忘记了妈妈刚才交待过的事情了。

终于，妈妈回来了，但我还是没记起那件事情。妈妈进了家后，用眼睛看看餐桌，看看冰箱，一声不吭，用圆溜溜的眼瞪着我。我这猛然想起刚才那件事，三步两步地走到冰箱前拿菜解冻。

你说，我是不是一个没有记性的人。

The Buddha listened to them quietly for a while, then he said to them:"thanks a lot, and now l have to preach the villagers of the next village, goodbye." "Dont you heard the foul words for you?" One of the villagers asked unbelievably."Of course l did, but l am not controlled by somebadys words, and l would never have response to someones feelings. l am the master, not the slave of my own feelings."

【翻译】有一天，佛陀经过一个村庄，一些人对他口出秽言。佛陀静静地听了一小会，然后说：“谢谢你们，我今天还要赶去下一个村庄。”其中一人听后觉得不可思议，说：“难道你没有听见我们骂你吗?”佛陀：“我不会被别人的嘴巴所控制，也不会对别人的情绪做反应，我是情绪的主任，不是情绪的奴隶。”

小朋友们，你们喜欢这些小动物吗?这么可爱的小动物，我们千万不能伤害它。

我最喜欢的小动物是小猫，我们家就养了一只小猫，它是邻居送过来的。因为现在那只小猫已经死了，所以我会经常想起它。

小猫长得很漂亮，他有一身雪白的毛，爪子下的肉垫可以使他走路没有一丁点声音。最独特的是他的眼睛：一只眼睛是蓝色的，另一只眼睛是绿色的。蓝眼睛像蓝宝石，绿眼睛像绿宝石。

小猫很贪吃，有时一斤重的鱼不一会儿就“消灭”了。有一次，妈妈做了一碗鱼汤。小猫跳上桌子，津津有味的吃了起来。正在吃的时候，它被我发现了，于是我狠狠的教训了他一顿。小猫耷拉着脑袋，好像在说：“我再也不敢了。”我立刻笑了。

现在那只小猫已经死了，从那以后，我每次见到小猫，都要和它嬉戏一番。小猫，你到底去了哪里了呢?

Long long ago, many families had three or four children. They couldnt look after everyone well, so the children must do everything by themselves. They were too poor to go to school. Some of them liked learning, but they had to go to find jobs to make money. Since they were children, they could do lots of difficult things like their parents. Sometimes they even did better than them!

But now, many families have only one child and they regard their child as a pearl. They did everything for the children. Every day, when the child gets up, their parents help him to make the room clean. They also get breakfast ready for their child. When the child is free, they can sleep or do other things, but they neednt do any housework. So many children cant cook; wash their clothes, some dont even know how to clean the floor. That’s too bad.

In the future, many families will have computers. We can work on the computer instead of going out to do everything. The children also can learn on the computers, so they dont need to move! After a long time, well become fatter and fatter. We wont be able to do anything by ourselves!

So, which way is good for us? We must think more.

很久以前，许多家庭有三或四个孩子。他们不能照顾好每一个人，所以孩子们必须自己做所有的事情。他们太穷上不起学。尽管有些人喜欢学习，但是他们不得不去找工作赚钱。当他们还是个孩子的时候就像他们的父母一样能做很多困难的事情。有时，他们甚至比他们父母做得更好!

但是现在，很多家庭只有一个孩子，他们把孩子视为掌上明珠。他们所做的一切都是为了孩子。每天，当孩子起床了，他们的父母帮他把房间打扫干净。还为孩子准备早餐。当孩子空闲的时候可以睡觉或做其他的事情，但不必做任何家务。很多的孩子不会做饭,不会洗自己的衣服，有些甚至不知道如何扫地。这样太可惜了。

在将来，许多家庭拥有电脑。我们可以在电脑上工作，而不是去做每一件事。孩子们也可以在电脑上学习，所以他们不需要走动!长时间以后，我们会变得越来越胖。我们做不了任何事情!

所以，什么样的方式对我们是好的?我们必须想得更多的。

我最喜欢的小动物是蚕宝宝。

几个月前，爸爸从单位带回几条小蚕，它们非常小，还没有一只小蚂蚁大呢。我给小蚕们喂了些桑叶，没过几天，它们由黑变白，身体渐渐变大。我还注意到，它们每脱一次皮就变白一些。蚕很喜欢桑叶，我刚把桑叶放进盒里，它们就一拥而上，“抱”着叶子沙沙地吃着。有一天，我发现蚕的身体越来越黄，我听说这是蚕要吐丝做茧了。几天后，蚕果然开始做茧了。它先把身体固定在角落里，然后从体内抽出几根黄色的丝，过了一会，丝越来越多，把它的身子严严实实地包在里面，渐渐地，蚕茧由透明变成半透明，颜色也更深了，又过了十几天，飞蛾从茧中爬了出来，还产了许许多多的蚕卵，蛾子也结束了生命。

蚕一生的变化可真大呀!

“南边来了一个怪，身上背着大锅盖，一步一步慢慢爬，脖子长长来回摆。”你们猜猜它是谁？对了，它就是我的动物朋友——乌龟先生。

乌龟先生是常见的巴西红耳龟，是我上二年级时小姨从花鸟市场买回来的。它大概有我的一个手掌大，椭圆形的壳就占了整个身长的三分之二，壳的两端分别是圆圆的脑袋和短短的尾巴。翠绿色龟壳的正中央，有一条明显的脊棱，隔两米也能看得见。它的头很小，却有一双大眼睛，还是三眼皮呢！在两只眼睛后面，各有一片橘色的椭圆，这也是它与其他乌龟种类最明显的区别。它的爪子像鸭掌一样，指尖却很锋利。

乌龟先生总是懒洋洋地伏在缸底，什么也不干。有时甚至一两天纹丝不动，害得我好几次都以为它死了，准备处理时，它才动了一下。乌龟先生安静得就像不存在似的，以至于我常常会整个月忘记给它喂食。它饿极了，才慢吞吞地用爪子抓得鱼缸咯咯响。那速度，简直和"疯狂动物城"里的闪电先生一样慢。有一次，我放几条小鱼进去给它做伴。它倒好，看了一眼，继续懒懒地趴着。小鱼在它身边欢快地游来游去，它也无动于衷。

阳光明媚时，乌龟先生偶尔会扒着缸沿晒太阳。有一次，我看见它手扒缸沿，脚踏缸底，眯着眼，露着肚，探出头来晒太阳，便打趣地敲了敲鱼缸。没想到，人家淡定地享受着日光浴，连一个眼神也不肯给我，对我不屑一顾。

很可惜，我这个动物朋友在去年夏天不知什么原因死了，只留下一个空空的鱼缸。至今，每当太阳光照在阳台的鱼缸里时，我仿佛都能看到乌龟先生扒着缸沿惬意地晒着太阳，还是它那副高冷的模样。

Mistreat your animals and someone might take them from you.

Allen （not his real name） is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night， with stolen property in the back of his van. But Allen isn‘t a criminal – in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.

The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash. Allen doesn‘t particularly want Flash – in fact， in a few hours he‘ll drop him off at a stranger‘s house and never see him again. “I couldn‘t just stand by and do nothing，” he explains. “The owner was plainly neglecting the dog， but the police wouldn‘t do anything about it.”

For over a year， Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone‘s house. “He was sick and malnourished，” says Allen. “More than once I saw [the owner] kick him for no reason at all.” Allen had repeatedly tried to get the owner to take better care of the animal， or to give it away to someone who would. Finally， he took matters into his own hands – in the dead of night， he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.

Within an hour， Flash had a new license tag and was being treated by a veterinarian who knew better than to ask questions. Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites， asking for someone to adopt the dog. A couple in New York offered to take the dog， and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.

Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are ‘rescued‘ every year – receiving stolen property is a crime， so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows. But a growing number of empty collars attests to their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.
