It was a beautiful morning with a soft wind blowing. Jina the giraffe was walking on the grass. A group of zebras ran 1 . Jina looked at them and thought, "Zebras take such 2 leaps(跳跃). How easily they run!
Look at my 3 —it is so strange—looking.
Then she saw an elephant by the lake. "The elephant takes water in her long nose and sprays (喷洒)it everywhere. She has so much fun. 4 I had a long nose, I would become happy like her. Jina thought.
Just then a crow came and sat on Jinas head. "Why are you s 5 ?"
Jina stood there with a sad face and said. "They all look so good, but I am so 6 . " "Jina, why do you think so? You 7 your own strengths, don' t you said the crow.
At that moment, a 8 came and said to Jina, " Jina, I need your 9 ! My kid has climbed up a tree Will you bring him down?"
"Of course! Jina stretched her long neck up and 10 brought the young lion down from the tree.
"So much joy in helping! Did you 11 helping someone, Jina?" asked the crow.
It really feels very nice. Now I have understood how 12 it is to have legs like long sticks and a long neck. I shouldn't consider them as my weaknesses. Instead I can 13 them into my strengths. "
"Yes, instead of feeling sad by comparing 14 to others, you should make the most of what you have and be happy. In this way, we can 15 a happy and meaningful life. "said the crow.
Jina the giraffe nodded and walked away with the crow happily.

Wearing a mask while sleeping at home sounds a little crazy. But Wu Keying did so during the novel coronavirus outbreak. "I feared that I would be infected. Now I know it's not necessary to do so. But I am still worried about when the epidemic will end, " said the 13-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan province. Being stuck inside makes her feel anxious.
In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu. Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
These emotions (情绪) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology (积极心理学)。"Some stressful reactions (反应) can help us fight the virus, " Wang said. "We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example. "
But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental (心理的) health, Wang added. So how can we stay positive?
First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life, wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (咨询师) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有担当的)。
Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息)。
"The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation, " Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.
a. wearing masks
b. being stress—free
c. staying positive
d. washing our hands
School started again, and soon the ink in Tom's spelling book was found. Tom said he hadn't split the ink, but that made it look as if he were lying. Becky almost said Alfred Temple had done it, but she kept quiet. She thought that Tom would tell the teacher about her tearing(撕) his book, so she didn't save him. Mr. Dobbins beat him and then Tom went back to his seat.
After an hour Mr. Dobbins unlocked his desk and took out his book. Tom looked over at Becky. She looked like a hunted and helpless rabbit. The next moment the master faced the children. There was a long silence, then he spoke, "Who tore this book?"
There wasn't a sound. The teacher searched their faces.
"Benjamin Rogers, did you do it?"
Benjamin said no.
"Joseph Harper, did you?"
Joseph also said no. Dobbins looked at the rows of boys, thought for a moment, then turned to the girls.
"Amy Lawrence?"
A shake of the head.
"Gracie Miller?"
The same sign.
Becky was next. Tom was shaking from head to foot.
"Rebecca Thatcher?" (Tom looked at her face; it was white with terror）—"did you tear? —no, look at my face—did you tear this book? "
Tom jumped to his feet and shouted, "I did it!" .
The children stared in surprise at his foolish act.
And when he stepped forward for his punishment, he saw the surprise, the thanks, and the love that came from Becky's eyes. This was enough for one hundred beatings. And he didn't even mind staying for two hours after school, because he knew that Becky was waiting for him outside.
Tom went to bed that night planning some actions on Alfred Temple, for Becky had told him everything. And he fell asleep with Becky's last words to him in his ear, "Tom, you are so great."
①Gracie Miller replied to the teacher by shaking her head.
②The children were surprised at Tom's foolish act.
③Tom was beaten for the ink split in his spelling book.
④Becky was thankful to Tom for what he did for her.
⑤Mr. Dobbins' book was carelessly torn by Becky.
Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time, I'll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection (反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.
My own shelves are a kind of road map through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Water ship Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty—Four, The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full—time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of their work experience to the present.
If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.
____▲___ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange our books, and get on with them. It's such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.
It's often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well—organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.
