Birds dont fly high up in the sky. The air is too thin.

It is hard for birds to breathe in thin air. Thin air doesnt hold them up.

Birds fly near the ground so that they can see where they are. The birds look for places they know. Then they do not get lost. Some birds fly so low over the ocean that the waves often hide them. Many birds fly a long distance in the spring and autumn.

不在天空的高处飞。因为空气太薄。

鸟很难呼吸稀薄的空气。稀薄的空气让它们飞的并不持久。

鸟飞在地面附近,这样它们可以看到它们在哪里。鸟儿知道它们要寻找的地方,所以它们不会迷路。有些鸟飞得很低以致于海洋波浪经常淹没了他们。许多鸟类在春天和秋天可以飞行很长的距离。

My favorite little animal is a kitten, and we have a kitten in our house. It was sent by a neighbor. Because the kitten is dead now, so I often think of it.

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。

The kitten was beautiful. He had a snow-white coat, and the pads under his paws made him walk without a single sound. The most unique is his eyes: one eye is blue, the other eye is green. Blue eyes are like sapphires, green eyes are like emeralds.

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。

Kittens are voracious, and sometimes a pound of fish will soon be wiped out. Once, my mother cooked a bowl of soup. The cat jumped onto the table and ate it with relish. While I was eating, it was discovered by me, so I gave him a hard lesson. The little cat drooped its head as if to say, "I dare not."." I laughed at once.

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?

Now that kitten has died, since then, every time I see a kitten, I have to play with it. Kitty, where the hell have you been?

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, shed lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I dont remember when it first started annoying me —— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" She didnt say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words haunted me. But pride stifled my conscience, and I didnt tell her I was sorry.

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mothers hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and Im not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. Shes been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girls stomach or soothe a boys scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…… gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could……and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.

Through the years, my mothers hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" Catching Moms hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought shed remember, as I did. But Mom didnt know what I was talking about. She had forgotten —— and forgiven —— long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
