Tom was walking through the forest with his axe (斧子) when a sapling (树苗) called to him and stopped him on his way.
"Could you please 1 me clear away these trees, kind friend? They are stealing (窃取) all of my sunshine. There is no room 2 the trees, so my roots cannot grow freely. I cannot 3 the wind with the trees above me."
Tom decided he could help the sapling. He swung his axe and cleared the 4 around the sapling. But 5 Tom made space for the sapling, the hot sunlight dried his leaves. Then there was a heavy rainstorm. The 6 sapling couldn't stand (忍受) the weather.
"Oh foolish one," said a farmer who was passing by. "The taller trees may seem like they're taking your sunshine, space and wind from you, 7 they're actually helping you. They 8 you from sunburns, heavy rain and other bad weather. You 9 see them taking your space, but you don't see how they help you. One day when you 10, you might be the one to protect other saplings."

Life may be boring in Melbourne for people who enjoy exciting nightlife. Shops here often close at 6 p.m. and there are no places to go at night. But things were different this summer, as the Victoria Night Market recently opened!
I went to the market at 7 p.m.. The smoky smell of kebabs(烤肉串) created a nice summer atmosphere(氛围). DJs on the stage played songs and the streets were packed with people. At that time, I thought I returned to China.
I went to a stall(摊位) with bright red and orange decorations. A sign with the words "typical(典型的) Spanish" hung at the front of the stall. The dishes in front of me were confusing(困惑的), because I had never tried Spanish food before. A woman at the stall smiled, pointed at some food and said: "You can try this seafood rice. It's a very typical Spanish dish. Unlike Chinese fried rice, the rice was as orange as the stall's decorations. I tried it. I found that it was quite delicious as soon as I put it into my mouth.
I spent 50 Australian dollars in total, but I got to taste Greek meatballs, Thai noodles and a Brazilian burger. I'm glad that the Victoria Market offers so many great foods from every corner of the world!
Since this fall, more than 20,000 primary students in one Florida school district in the United States have enjoyed school life without the usual homework. Instead, they are being asked to read for 20 minutes each night, reported USA Today.
The district has carried out a "no homework" policy (政策). Heidi Maier, the leader of the public schools, said in an interview that she made the decision based on research. Homework does not help students get good grades in primary school.
Maier is not alone. Around the US, many primary schools are trying out a no-homework policy, which has caused debate (争议) among educators and parents.
Some support Maier, saying without homework, kids can have more quality time with family and playing sports. But some argue that homework is needed to memorize the information and help kids build daily routines (作息规律), according to TIME for Kids.
In fact, arguments over homework have been going on for over a century in the US, noted the Washington Post. "This is part of a long history of conflict (冲突) over homework," Paula Fass, a professor at the University of California, told TIME for Kids. "And that can be expected to continue."
As we all know, with the development of technology, smartphones have influenced the old people in our family a lot. A TV programme interviewed three teenagers on how smartphones influence their family.
My grandfather asked me to teach him how to play the popular video game King of Glory(王者荣耀). I was surprised that he was interested in this! He chats with family members on Wechat every day. He tries to learn other new things as well. For example, he watches courses on learning apps. Although he is old, he still cares about technology and sports. So, as we can see, the internet can help elderly people. —Xing Yuxi, 12, Chongqing |
I live in Hangzhou, a city of technology. People enjoy the convenience(便利) brought by the internet. However, I often worry about the elderly. Take my grandma as an example. On one hand, she would like to get discounts by using mobile phones. On the other hand, she's afraid of getting cheated online. I think it takes time for elderly people to get used to these things. We should help them keep up with the times. — Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang |
Smartphones have made a big difference in my grandma's life. In the past, newspaper and TV programs were her only ways to get information. However, it was not good for her eyes, as she has severe cataracts(严重白内障). But now, she can listen to the news through all kinds of apps on her mobile phone. She doesn't have to look at the screen all the time. Sometimes, she even plays mobile games for fun. Thanks to the internet, my grandma now has a more colorful life. —Wen Jiayi, 13, Sichuan |
How do you light up the night sky? The answer is by using electricity. But did you know that nature can glow (发光), too?
Scientists have found many glowing living things. Most of them live in the ocean. Some use their lights to talk to each other. Others use them to hunt, to mate (交配) or to protect themselves. The vampire squid (幽灵蛸), for example, uses a cloud of light to scare enemies.
Scientists around the world are looking at this kind of light for new ideas. In 2013, the US company Gleaux said it has created the world's first light-producing plant, the Daily Mail reported. It is a genetically-modified (转基因的) plant. It can glow like a firefly.
Alexander Krichevsky, the company's founder (创始人), and other scientists hope that in the future, glowing plants could replace lamps and glowing trees could light up highways. Krichevsky also hopes the technology could be used in farming. Farmers could know when their crops need water or are ready to be picked if they glow.
While Gleaux is working on glowing plants, the French company Glowee is trying to use glowing bacteria (细菌) to light up shop windows and street signs. It's the same type of bacteria that cause a type of squid to light up, New Scientist Online reported.
"Our goal is to change the way we produce and use light," said Glowee founder Sandra Rey. "We want to help reduce the 19 percent of electricity consumption (消耗量) that is used to produce light.
Great inventions change the world. They help people live better life. The wheel is perhaps the (great) invention in history. After (it) invention, travelling became faster and (comfortable). Without the wheel, we would not have carriages, trains and cars. In 1867, the telephone, one of the (one) practical inventions, was invented. Alexander Graham Bell was its (invent). Since then, people have been able (speak) to each other over long distances. Mobile phones allow people to keep in touch each other anytime, anywhere. Thomas Edison (develop) the practical light bulb in 1879. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evenings they can in the daytime.
