Long time ago，there was a king. He loved animals very much. One day he got 1 nice falcons（猎鹰） from his son. He never saw such 2 falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer（猎鹰者） to 3 them to fly.
After several months，the king came to see 4 the training was going on. He found that one falcon was able to fly high in the sky，while the other was5 on the branch（树枝） of a tree quietly.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to6 every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But7 of them succeeded（成功）.One day，while the king was taking a walk in the forest，an idea came to his8 .Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could9 this problem. Then he invited a 10 who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning，the king saw the other falcon flying in the sky freely. He felt very surprised.
"It is unbelievable!" shouted the king. "How could you11 it happen？"
The farmer replied， "It is very12 .I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. It had no place to rest. Then it had to13 ."
It is always the same to human beings. We all have "two flying wings" in our hearts as well. But it seems that we don't notice them and stay in a place where we just feel14 .We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the branches we are resting on15 .Do you think so？

Several years ago, I spent most of my time at a mental hospital(精神病院) in our town. I much fun there. At first it was a little to be there, but I stayed on. Because I had a reason for doing this.
I volunteered in a locked-up(封闭的)environment. To my , I found that a friend of my mother was a patient(病人) in this hospital. She only depended on . I knew, when I was a baby, this woman wanted to keep me because she had no children. I took of this woman and showed my old photos to her. Finally, she was able some old things, and she said to me one day,"Dear, you should not come here."But I wanted to bring something happy into this woman's life. I that because she had no family, she could not leave here or go home. So I brought her to my home twice, and I still remember the happy on her face.
I will forget this volunteer experience. This woman later . I can't see her anymore, but I'm happy that I have done something to make a to another person's life.
Your bedroom should be a clean and tidy place, and then you can have a good rest in it. But how can you clean up your bedroom in a short time? Here's some advice.
Degree of difficulty: easy
Time: 15 minutes
Step 1: You should find at least two tools for the clean work first. They can help you finish the work easily.
Step 2: Put all the dirty clothes together, and then put them in a bag. It's very easy. It usually takes you about two minutes to finish it.
Step 3: 1f you have lots of clean clothes to fold, put them on the bed. Then you can do that after you finish the fifth step. You can remind yourself to spend three minutes putting away the clothes before you go to bed.
Step4: Put all the rubbish together and then put it in the dustbin. Old magazines and shoes may be rubbish at home. They may make you uncomfortable, and sometimes they may smell bad. So you should throw away old things that you don't use again.
Step 5: Make the bed. It's an important thing. You need to do it at once. Making the bed can make you comfortable and your bedroom beautiful.
Sue and her family were helping their neighbors, the Crowleys, with their move to another city. Sue was excited about helping others. And her dad was also volunteering to help others. Sue was getting used to it.
Suddenly, Sue's sister, Cindy, called for help from the back of the house. Sue dropped some paper and ran to help her sister who was carrying a very heavy mirror.
Sue wondered why the Crowleys even had this. The mirror was too heavy to hang. Sue said to her sister, "They have so much rubbish and they should throw it."
"How could you say that?" said Cindy. Don't people get to decide for themselves how they want to live? People think the lizards(蜥蜴)are scary but you have three of them as pets.
"You can't compare my lizards to this mess," said Sue. My lizards are special animals."
The girls' argument reached their dad's ears. He stopped the fight and asked the girls to go on picking up the mirror.
After the work, Dad came to Sue and Cindy and thanked them for giving a hand today. He also told Sue," ▲ .You can't judge(评判) others just because you have different tastes and interests from them. We are here to help, not to judge." Sue agreed.
a. Cindy called for help. b. Sue and Cindy had an argument.
c. Sue said the Crowleys should throw the mirror.
d. Dad came to thank Cindy and Sue for giving a helping hand.
What should you do if there is a fire at school？Do you know how to protect yourself in a large crowd? Every year since 1996，on the last Monday of the last week in March，the National Day of Education on the Safety of Primary and Middle School Students （全国中小学安全教育日） is held. This year it falls on March 27th.It offers us a chance to learn more about school safety.
A survey shows that the worst accidents are a result of stampedes （踩踏），fires and traffic. When facing an accident，the first and most important rule is to stay calm. But you should know different ways to handle different accidents so that you can protect yourself and stay safe in accidents. A stampede happens in a place where there is a large crowd. When students around you begin to push，stand still and try to hold on to something，or stay in a comer until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd，cover your head with both hands to protect yourself. Lean to one side，curl your body and bend your legs.
When there is a fire，you should follow the teachers' instructions. Leave the classroom and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.
If you walk to school or go by bike，follow traffic rules. Wait for the green traffic light，and look left and right for cars before you cross the road.
Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals(化学物质）to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects（被昆虫袭击）. The plant gives out to chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like warning, or a call for help: "I'm being attacked!" When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own; different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract（吸引）the wasps（黄蜂）! Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can't hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link（联系）nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the "wood wide web"(树联网）. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi （真菌）. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientist will learn how to create a "firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communicate to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.

A group of frogs（青蛙） were traveling through the woods，and unluckily，two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they could never get out of it. But the two frogs didn't believe it..
The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death.Soon he died.
However, the other frog continued jumping as hard as he could. Once again，the other frogs shouted at him， "Stop! You can't make it! Poor thing，just wait to die!".
When he got out，the other frogs said， "Didn't you hear us？ "The frog explained to them that he was a bit deaf..
The story teaches us a lesson. There is power（力量）of life and death in the tongue（舌头）.For someone who feels bad, an encouraging（鼓励性的）word can cheer him up and help him overcome difficulties. However，a destructive（毁灭性的） word can make the person give up and die.Speak positively to people you meet. It is great to take the time to encourage others.

But he jumped even harder and finally he made it. F. They tried to jump out of the hole again and again. G. So he thought they were encouraging him at that time. |
