Once there was a lovely vegetable field with a very big tree in it. Both the vegetables and the tree made the garden look wonderful.
In fact, the vegetables and the tree couldn't get on well with1.The vegetables disliked the tree because they thought the tree didn't leave them enough2by covering them with its thick leaves, while the tree thought that the vegetables drank nearly all the water before it could reach him.
The situation became worse and worse. One day the vegetables decided to3all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree fought back(反击) by refusing to offer the vegetables shade (树荫). Soon they both began to dry up under the hot sun.
Neither of them expected that the gardener would stop4his vegetable field, because he thought it was5to save the vegetables. When the gardener did that, the tree and the vegetables really felt how6they were. There seemed to be no way to solve the problem. Then a small pumpkin decided to do something to change the situation. The small pumpkin did all he could to grow7there was little water and it was too hot.
Finally, the gardener8the growing pumpkin among the dying vegetables.9, he started to water the field again because he still wanted to make a(n)10to get the beautiful pumpkin. At the same time, the tree and the vegetables were saved. Since then, they realized that it was better to help each other than to fight, and they lived in harmony(和谐) with other plants.
The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.
In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.
Robots also help disabled people, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have guide dogs to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.
One kind of robot guide dog has wheels it moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner's walk. The owner wears a special belt(带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as "Stop here", "Turn left" or "Turn right".
In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner's voice. It follows instructions such as "Turn the page" or "Make a cup of coffee".
Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for ex-ample, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients' rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory(记忆).
Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.
Newspaper Carrier Day happens on September 4 to celebrate(庆祝)Barney Flaherty and all past and present newspaper carriers.
Every day, thousands of newspaper carriers get up early and carry newspapers around the streets. They deliver(递送)our newspapers before we wake up but few people think about their hard work. In the USA, 10-year-old Barney Flaherty became the first newspaper boy. He started working for The New York Sun on September 10, 1833. Today, many young people make their pocket money by delivering newspapers.
Perhaps millions of people have been a newspaper deliverer. Delivering newspapers used to be a part-time(兼职的)jab for the children aged(……岁的) between 13 and 16. But now many adults often deliver newspapers by car. It has become dangerous for children to be on the streets alone before six in the morning. The newspaper carriers in the world are paid differently. For example, the newspaper carriers in Britain can make about $ 25 every day. And they usually work seven days a week. When you see your newspapers next tin, think about the persons who delivered them.
Dragons are not real animals, but they look like a combination(结合体) of many animals, such as snakes, fish, and deer. They have two horns and a long mustache(胡子). With fantastic power, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the "descendants(传人) of the dragons". In China, "excel-lent" people are often called "dragons". A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, "Hoping, one's child will become a dragon", which means hoping one's child will be successful.
It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characters(性格). They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered. There are some famous "dragons" who have done excellent things, like the great man Deng Xiaoping who was born on August 22nd in 1904, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all successful.
There are also some traditional festivals in China, such as the Dragon Head-Raising Day and the Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.
The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the" descendants of the dragons", it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be "dragons".
Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations. In ancient times, there were mainly three kinds of lanterns:
Palace lantern(宫灯)
When making palace lanterns, fine wood was used. The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. These lanterns were not only used as lights but also as decorations(装饰)in palaces.
Gauze lantern(纱灯)
Less expensive bamboo and gauze were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals such as Lantern Festival, Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns(唐人街)abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round.
Shadow-picture lantern(走马灯)
It was usually used for amusement. There were two layers(层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit(被点燃), the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.
Now more kinds of lanterns appear in festivals besides the traditional ones. More modern technology is used on making lanterns.
