(Dai Wei comes across Li Lei, who is studying in the school library.)
Dai Wei: Hi, Li Lei. Are you busy with your homework now?
Li Lei: Oh, yeah. Dai Wei. And you?
Dai Wei: I'm here fora book. Hey, Li Lei. Have a break! We should be outside in the fresh air. It's good for us.
Li Lei: Sorry, I can't. I must hand it in tomorrow.
Dai Wel; Oh, I see. But we can't always stay indoors. We
must often take exercise,
Li Lei: Never. I hardly have time now. A sea of homework almost takes up all my free time. It's sad but that's life.
Dai Wei: You mean my life? In fact, I'm also very busy like you. But you know I like sports. Whenever I have a little time, I will try them.
Li Lei: No wonder you are so energetic.
Dai Wei: Yeah, better health, better grades.
Li Lei: Yes, you are right. It sounds as if I should also try to exercise often in the future. Du Wei, shall we play basketball for a while now?
Dai Wei: OK. Let's go!

When I was about six years old, my brother David and I visited our aunt, Mary. We stayed in her house for a night. David was only 4 years old, and was still1of the dark. 80 Mary left the hall light on when we slept.
However, David2the grey moths (飞蛾) flying around the hall light. He asked Mary to make the moths go away. When she asked3, he simply answered, "Because they are ugly and scary. I don't like them." Mary laughed and said, "Being ugly outside doesn't4not being beautiful inside. In fact, moths are one of the most beautiful insects in the insect world.
Once. the angels (天使) were5. They were sad because it was raining heavily. The6little moths hated to see others so sad. They decided to make a rainbow (彩虹) to cheer up the angels. They thought if the butterflies (蝴蝶)7, they could make a beautiful rainbow together.
Then one of the moths went to ask the butterflies for help. But the butterflies didn't want to8any of their colours. so the moths decided to make a rainbow themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the colours on them made a rainbow. They kept giving a little more and a little more9the rainbow went across the sky. They had given away all their colours except grey, which didn't match the beautiful rainbow.
Then the once colourful moths became10. The angels saw the rainbow and smiled.
My brother went to sleep with that story and hasn't feared moths since then.
