Tommy was a poor man, so he tried to grow as many 1 as he could in his own garden, 2 he would not have to buy so many in the market.
One evening he heard a noise in his garden and 3 the window. A white ox had got into the garden and 4 his vegetables. Tommy at once took his stick, 5 and chased the ox, but he was too old to catch it. When he got back to his garden, he found that the ox had ruined(毁坏）most of his precious vegetables.
6 while he was walking in the street near his house, he saw a cart(马本)7two white oxen which looked very much like the one that 8 his vegetables. He was carrying his stick with him, 9 he at once began to beat the two oxen with it. As neither of them looked more like the ox that had eaten his vegetables than 10 , he beat both of them equally hard.
The owner of the ox and cart was drinking coffee in a 11 coffee-house. When he saw what Tommy was doing 12 his animals, he ran out and shouted," What are you doing? What have those poor animals done to you 13 you beat them like that? "
"You keep out this!" Tommy shouted back, "This is a matter 14 me and one of these two oxen. He knows very well 15 I am beating him!"
The British Museum in London had its most successful year ever in 2013. More than 6.7 million visitors passed through its doors. The previous record of 5.9 million was set in 2008. Over a million more people visited the museum last year than in 2012. The biggest attractions were two big exhibitions. One was Life and Death in Pompeii (庞培), the other was Herculaneum. The director of the museum said he was very happy that so many people came. He told reporters that many things happened last year. Many exhibits were carried to the museum. He also said online access(同上购票)meant more people decided to visit. He added:" This is truly a dynamic collection that belongs to and is used by a global citizenship.”
The British Museum has many exhibitions about human history and culture. It has about 13 million exhibits from all over the world. Some countries want the museum to return some of them. Greece wants the Elgin Marbles back. They were originally from the Parthenon in Athens(雅典). China wants the museum to return many things the British took from China in the 19th century, and Egypt wants the Rosetta Stone. The museum first opened to the public in 1759. Back then, only about 75 people a day visited it. They could look at 71,000 objects, including 40,000 printed books, 7,000 manuscripts(手稿), and many stuffed animals(内部填充的动物), birds and insects(昆虫). There were also very old objects from Egypt. Greece, Rome, the Near East, the Far East, and North and South America.
You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies moon. For example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.
The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people call ourselves the" descendants(传人)of the dragon" . Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs.
On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to" lead the dragon into the house". People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成)in autumn.
Also, people cat special foods that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat" dragon whisker(细须)"noodles and dumplings called "dragon teeth " .
Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of the family-mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
