“A surprise What’s it ” shouted Roger and Helen.
“I don’t know,” said their dad. “She says that it’s a secret.”
The next morning the doorbell rang. Aunt Elizabeth came with a big box. She opened the box very carefully. It was full of pieces of ice. She put her hands into the ice and slowly took out a big egg. “This egg is from an ice cave in Greenland. It’s very special. Now I need your help. I want to see what will happen when we put the egg in a warm place,” said Aunt Elizabeth.
Roger and Helen got a cardboard box and put the egg inside. Then they put the box in the kitchen.
A few days later, while the children were having breakfast they heard a noise.
“Look at the egg. A bird comes out of it,” said Roger.
The animal opened its beak. Helen gave some food to the animal. It was so hungry that it ate a lot. So it grew very fast.
“Roger thinks it’s a bird, but I don’t think so. It still hasn’t got any feathers,” said Helen.
“Aunt Elizabeth is away on another trip. She isn’t coming back for a few weeks,” said Mum.
At the moment, the animal spread its wings, flew over to the table and caught Dad’s fish. The children laughed. Mum wasn’t happy.
Dad went to his computer. He knew the animal was a pterodactyl, a type of dinosaur.
The animal grew quickly. Their house was too small for it. The children phoned Aunt Elizabeth. They told her that the bird couldn’t fly in their house and Mum hated him flying around. So Aunt Elizabeth decided to take it to her museum in Greenland.

Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention(站军姿), goose-stepping(正步走) and folding a quilt(叠被子). Some students say that it is not useful. But others feel it encourages them to be more independent(独立的) and responsible(有责任感的) .
The US
The US schools don't force(强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a group and encourage them to work out problems by themselves. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over(翻越) a high wall. If even one person fails, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together.
The UK
The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练团, OTC) in some universities. In the OTC, students can learn military skills like first aid(急救) , weapons(武器) training and radio communications(无线电通讯). Students can make money by taking part in military exercises, too. They can earn(赚取) up to 60 pounds per day.

“A surprise What’s it ” shouted Roger and Helen.
“I don’t know,” said their dad. “She says that it’s a secret.”
The next morning the doorbell rang. Aunt Elizabeth came with a big box. She opened the box very carefully. It was full of pieces of ice. She put her hands into the ice and slowly took out a big egg. “This egg is from an ice cave in Greenland. It’s very special. Now I need your help. I want to see what will happen when we put the egg in a warm place,” said Aunt Elizabeth.
Roger and Helen got a cardboard box and put the egg inside. Then they put the box in the kitchen.
A few days later, while the children were having breakfast they heard a noise.
“Look at the egg. A bird comes out of it,” said Roger.
The animal opened its beak. Helen gave some food to the animal. It was so hungry that it ate a lot. So it grew very fast.
“Roger thinks it’s a bird, but I don’t think so. It still hasn’t got any feathers,” said Helen.
“Aunt Elizabeth is away on another trip. She isn’t coming back for a few weeks,” said Mum.
At the moment, the animal spread its wings, flew over to the table and caught Dad’s fish. The children laughed. Mum wasn’t happy.

The US
The US schools don't force(强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a group and encourage them to work out problems by themselves. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over(翻越) a high wall. If even one person fails, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together.
The UK
The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练团, OTC) in some universities. In the OTC, students can learn military skills like first aid(急救) , weapons(武器) training and radio communications(无线电通讯). Students can make money by taking part in military exercises, too. They can earn(赚取) up to 60 pounds per day.
