（本题10分）Why is the sea salt Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart.
Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill, please grind(磨粉)’, and it’ll make whatever you want; to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding’. ”
Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didnt need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied (满足). When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕) . So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole (偷) the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make ” “Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt ” the wife said, “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.
And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.

kiwi bird
People from New Zealand (新西兰) often call themselves “Kiwis”. For most New Zealanders, the word Kiwi is a friendly nickname (昵称) , but where did it come from
The name comes from the kiwi bird. The bird has a round body and can’t fly. It only lives in New Zealand.
New Zealand already used the bird on the money in the late 19th century. In 1904, the bird was used in a cartoon to represent (代表) the country’s rugby (橄榄球) team. After that, the bird was often shown in cartoons.
kiwifruit
“Kiwi” as a nickname for New Zealanders is usually written with a big letter “K”, while the bird’s name is usually written with a small k: “kiwi”. So the people and the birds don’t get mixed up.
The kiwi fruit, which is from China at the beginning, is also named after the bird. In1959, New Zealanders started calling it “kiwifruit” because its brown skin (皮肤) looks like the bird.
However, it is important not to mix up Kiwi people, kiwi birds and kiwifruit! Although the fruit is usually just called “kiwi” in other parts of the world, New Zealanders only ever call it “kiwifruit”.

72．例文
Dear Peter,
I’m very happy to share something about keeping safe on the way to school with you. I often go to school by underground. The reason is that it’s fast and not affected by traffic jams. Also, it’s less dangerous compared to riding an e-scooter on busy roads.
To keep safe on the road, my advice is to always be attentive and follow traffic rules. If you must use an e-scooter, wear a helmet and reflective clothing to increase visibility. Also, avoid riding at night or in bad weather conditions.
Remember, safety always comes first. I hope these tips help you stay safe on your way to school.
If you want to know more, be free to email me.
Yours,
Li Hua
