Some people don't like storms, but I think they are very exciting. There are often storms at the
end of a hot summer day. The clouds are small and white at first. However, they get bigger and
bigger until they make one large black cloud. The sky gets dark and it starts to rair hard. And
then the street s are like swimming pools. There is a flash of bright light in the sky and then,
after a few seconds, you can hear the loud “bang” of thunder.
Light travels very fast, so we always see the lightning(闪电) before we hear the thunder.If the
clouds are one kilometer away, you can count to three, between the lightning and the thunder.
Lightning is very beautiful but it can also be dangerous. Lightning is electricity(电流)“jumping”
to the ground from a cloud. It usually hits tall things, so if you are outside when there is
thunder and lightning, don't stand under a tree.

Chinese cultures have passed on for thousands of years, and goldfish have been recorded for nearly two thousand years. A report from the Jin dynasty(朝代) described “red fish”swimming in the Red River. Goldfish were widely recorded in Tang dynasty poems. They were collected in the pond( 池塘) by rich people at that time. During the Song dynasty, a ruler built a pond in Hangzhou to raise goldfish. It marked the time when people began to raise them. However, owning yellow goldfish was not allowed because that color was thought to be a sign of the mon people were forced to raise orange ones which is probably why tha color is more common today.

Until the invention of the goldfish bowl in the Ming dynasty, goldfish were always seen to live outdoors in ponds. The goldfish bowl allowed more people to keep goldfish and interested people in raising more beautiful kinds such as the “lion head” that could not live outdoors.
The Chinese have expressed good wishes through images(形象) of animals, plants and other objects, The Chinese language has many homophones, and these homophones connect images of objects with special good wishes that sound the same. The Chinese word for “fish”is a homophone of the word for “more”, so fish express wishes for “owning more”. The gold-fish, however, also has the word for“gold”, so goldfish images express wishes for“owning more wealth”.
Goldfish compe itions, which began in Beijing during the Ming dynasty continue in China. Even in Hong Kong, there is a busy goldfish market to meet the modern requirement of the fish of wealth and good
wishes.
( )31. People widely recorded goldfish in the dynasty.
A. Jin B. Tang C. Song D. Ming
( )32. The fact that we see more orange goldfish today is probably because .
A. the ruler liked raising orange goldfish

A. kept goldfish indoors in the Jin dynasty

In the town of Lampang(南邦府) in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play different kinds of music. Both children and adults love this group elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center( TECC) in Lampang. The
TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: maybe they can play music. To test this idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play instruments. The animals also use their voices and trunks(象鼻) to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly “Yes,” says Lair, “They’re very creative.” Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; They don't just copy from their trainers( 训练者) or other people. There are now CDs of the group's music , which make money for the TECC. And the music is pretty amazing.

This term, I took part in a series of labour activities in our school. I was happy that I learned a lot. In March, I learned to grow vegetables and plant trees on our school farm.
In April, I learned to repair things like electric fans and bicycles with the help of our teachers. In May, I learned to do much housework, such as making the bed and sweeping the floor. I think the labour activities are not only good but also useful. I’m sure the more life skills I have, the happier I will be.
