　　Humans can speak, but animals cannot. This is the biggest difference between them. But what if animals could speak? A few years ago an animal did speak. His name was Noc and he was a dolphin in an American research center. Noc was able to repeat(重复)words and sentences spoken by his trainers. Noc died shortly after, but researchers think that someday dolphins may be able to speak a human language.
So, if animals could talk, what do you think they would say to us? I think the first thing they would say is: “Please treat us better. ”Humans use animals for food and other commercial(商业的)products. We use animals for entertainment. But we treat them as objects rather than as living, feeling, thinking creatures. And sometimes we treat them very badly.
During the National Day Holiday, two camels in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, were ridden to death. Tourists had climbed on the camels’ backs all the day. Those two camels were so hungry, thirsty and tired that they fell down and died. That same week people stood in line in a village near Nanjing to drink deer blood(鹿血). They thought that deer blood would improve their health. They did not think of the pain and the terror(恐惧)felt by the deer.
Someday another Noc will appear and start to talk to humans. He will tell us that humans and animals are not really that different. We both have thoughts and feelings and we share the same earth. This Noc will say, “You are the smartest of all the animals, so can you please find it in your heart to treat us better? ”
1. What’s the biggest difference between humans and animals?
A. Humans can walk, but animals can’t.
B. Humans can stand, but animals can’t.

A. Please talk to us. B. Please give us better food.
C. Please let us alone. D. Please treat us better.
4. Why did some people stand in line to drink deer blood?
A. Because it was delicious and powerful.
B. Because they thought it could improve their health.

When we entered the collection house, our eyes were caught by a collection of old photos of the town on the walls of the front hall. Those photos told us something about the history of the town. And then in the Art Room, we saw many pictures of the countryside. The colors of the flowers and the trees are rich and bright. All at once, I lost myself in the beauty of nature.
Then we went upstairs. On the left, there were over one hundred different clocks. The oldest clock was already more than two hundred years old. To my surprise, the clocks all worked well and they could tell the right time. It was then ten o’clock, and some clocks produced different beautiful sounds. It seemed to be a concert. How amazing!
On the right there was also a stone collection. The stones were from all over the country. They were in different sizes, colors and shapes. Some looked like different kinds of animals. I really liked one nice stone that looked like a little monkey.
The collections there were wonderful. So we stayed there until 11: 30 in the morning. I had a great time and really liked the school trip.

　　Westerners think that the education ways in many Chinese families are hard to understand. Here are some examples.
Many children in China are looked after by their grandfathers and grandmothers because their parents are busy. But children need to stay and communicate with their parents.
Parents pay no attention to the rights(权利)of children. Parents should knock at the door before they go into the room of their children. (1)They shouldn’t move their children’s things before they agree. Parents should communicate with children and respect(尊重)the rights and decisions of them. Children who are not respected also do not know how to respect others.
(2)Parents often　　　　their children　　　　others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents’ face. Parents often say “You see somebody else is studying hard, what good grades they have, and what prizes they get”. This is the worst thing. It will only bring the child much harm and pain.
Many children are made to do what their parents expect, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go abroad. It should be decided by children themselves.
The more hard-working, the better. Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated(综合)ability is so important that it will affect children all their lives.

　　Some people prefer to make friends with people who are very much like them while others prefer friends who are very different. These are advantages to both types of friendship. If a man chooses a friend similar to himself, there is no problem that they will share many common interests. They may have similar goals in life. This means that they will be able to help each other in achieving their goals. Two people who are very similar will feel comfortable with each other and may understand each other’s feelings better. Their friendship may be deeper and last longer.
There are also many advantages of making friends with someone of opposite interests and even characters. In this type of friendship, the two people complement(补充)each other. If one is weak in some ways, the other is strong. While two people with similar goals may find themselves in competition, but those who want different things can always support each other. Those who have different interests can introduce each other to new experience and it can enrich(丰富)their knowledge.
A friend who is unlike me may be challenging, but a similar friend is familiar and safe.

　　I began to remember what I did at the age of five. My sister was more than one year older than me. She was very pretty and she could speak sweet words to make the members in my family happy. So they all liked her. And my little brother was the only boy in my family, so they loved him even more. As for me, I often caused troubles to my parents, so the result could be imagined. Every time, my mother would take me to her room and give me a hard lesson.
My parents planted many kinds of fruit trees and vegetables in the yard. One of my duties was looking after the fruits. One day, when I was lying in the little bed, a big boy from my neighbor came into our yard. He climbed up an apple tree and began to pick the apples. I cried out. But he didn’t leave. Then my father came and caught him.
I began to go to primary school when I was eight. On the first day, our head teacher asked us who could write his or her own name. But no one answered except me, because my father taught me how to write my own name before I went to school. Of course my teacher thought I was cleverer than the others, so he made me monitor of our class.
