The sea's surprise
Jim and Andy walked along the beach, looking for an adventure. They joked that some day they would find a talking fish or a mermaid（美人鱼） or a bottle with a treasure map inside. So far they had only found shells， rocks and seaweed. Today， though， was different. The boys felt excited.
Sea crabs scampered on the rocks， up one side and down the other. They were quick and lively. The tide didn't seem to ever wash them away. Then Jim saw a fish. It was stranded on the beach, just flopping around.
“Can it talk？” Andy asked.
“It looks like any other fish，” Jim said. He picked it up gently and carried it to the water.
“Do you think it will grant us any wishes？” Andy laughed.
The boys watched as the silver fish sped off through the water.“No. Maybe next time.” Jim grinned.
As the two friends walked farther down the beach they came upon a bottle. It was green with a cork（软木塞） in the mouth.
“Our luck will change. Does it have a map inside or a genie（精灵）？” Andy joked.
Andy reached down and picked up the bottle. He rubbed it. Nothing happened. He pulled on the cork. Nothing happened. He shook it. Nothing happened.
“Try the cork again. I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him. Or we'll find a treasure map and have a real adventure，” Jim exclaimed.
Andy tugged again on the cork. He wiggled it back and forth. He twisted it around and around. Finally it popped out without breaking. Andy shook the bottle. Nothing came out. Looking inside he couldn't see anything. Jim looked too and shook his head. Empty.
“It's just an old wine bottle，” Jim complained. He grabbed the bottle and tossed it back onto the sand.

The bottle hit a rock and shattered into many pieces. Both Andy and Jim gasped as they saw a long, silver key on the ground in the glass pieces. Then they looked at each other. Why didn't it make any noise when they shook the bottle Why didn't they see it Andy bent over to pick up the key. Suddenly the glass pieces came together to form a bottle again. The key was mysteriously back inside! And the bottle began rolling slowly toward the sea.
Two boys ran after it. When they entered the sea, astonishingly they didn't sink into the water but floated on the surface of it. They felt excited. They followed the bottle and then it stopped near an island where there was lots of treasure, like diamonds and gold.“You can take as much as possible，” a voice came from the coast, where a talking fish was swimming. It was the stranded fish that Jim saved and put back into the water.

（2023·四省适应性考试）My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It's amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean（断奶） him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter （吱吱叫） for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn't long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.

参考范文
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. But the family was none too happy about his visit. They scolded and swatted at him. At first Squirt was so unhappy that he avoided them. But then he quickly learned some social skills. He would take some snacks to meet them. For several days he played all day in the trees surrounding our house but came down at bedtime.
One night, Squirt didn't come back to our house and it rained hard. Our girls fretted. They wanted to seek Squirt. We prevented them because it was too dangerous. But when the sun rose the next day, there was Squirt, begging for food. And that remained the pattern for weeks. The experience was entertaining and heartwarming for our family. In the wild and somewhat silly moments of raising an orphaned baby squirrel, our children learned to value and appreciate life.

《谁动了我的奶酪》是由美国作家斯宾塞·约翰逊创作的一个寓言故事，内容充满了人生中有关变化的寓意深长的真理。这是一个有趣且能启蒙智慧的故事，内容主要是在描绘四个住在“迷宫”里的人物，他们竭尽所能地寻找能滋养他们身心、使他们快乐的“奶酪”。
Everyone laughed.
“They wanted to sniff out the changes ahead of time① and scurry into action，rather than get hemmed in and be left behind②.”
Nathan said，“That's a good point. No one in our company would want to look like Hem. They might even change. Why didn't you tell us this story at our last reunion？ This could work.”
Michael said，“It does work.”
“It works best，of course，when everyone in your organization knows the story—whether it is in a large corporation，a small business or your family—because an organization can only change when enough people in it change.”
Then he offered one last thought： “When we saw how well it worked for us，we passed the story along to people we wanted to do business with，knowing they were also dealing with change. We suggested we might be their ‘New Cheese’ — that is③，better partners for them to succeed with. It led to new business.”
That gave Jessica several ideas and reminded her that she had some early sales calls in the morning. She looked at her watch and said，“Well，it's time for me to leave this Cheese Station and find some New Cheese.”
The group laughed and began saying their goodbyes. Many of them wanted to continue the conversation but needed to leave. As they left，they thanked Michael again．
He said，“I'm very glad you found the story so useful，and I hope that you will have the opportunity to share it with others soon.”
大家都大笑了起来。
“他们都想提前嗅出变化的味道，并且赶快投入行动，而不再是落在后头哼哼不停。”
内森说：“这是一个好点子。我想我们公司的人都不愿做哼哼，他们甚至可能会（因为这个故事而）改变。上一次聚会时，你为什么没有告诉我们这个故事？要不然，它早就起作用了。”
“它确实有用，”迈克尔说。
“而且非常有用！尤其是当你的机构中的每个人都知道它时——不管是大公司，还是小企业，或者是你的家庭——因为只有当其中的多数人的心态发生改变以后，一个组织才会发生变化。”
最后，迈克尔又给大家介绍了一个经验：“当这个故事对我们的公司起作用以后，我们便把故事告诉给那些我们希望能和他们在生意上有合作的人，因为我们知道他们也正面临变化。我们提议说，也许我们公司就是他们（正在找寻）的‘新奶酪’，也就是说，我们可能就是能让他们的生意更成功的合作伙伴。这方法（的确）为我们带来了许多新的生意。”
这番话使杰西卡受到启发，她想起上午要谈的几笔业务。她（赶紧）看了看时间，说：“喔，时间到了，该是我离开这个奶酪站，去寻找新的奶酪的时候了”。
大家都会心地笑了起来，然后站起身来互相道别。尽管许多人觉得意犹未尽，还想继续聊这个话题，但时间的确已经不早了。分手的时候，他们再一次感谢迈克尔。
迈克尔说：“我非常高兴你们觉得这个故事对你们有用，我也衷心希望你们有机会尽快与别人分享这个故事。”
