Long ago there was a poor farmer in Russia. He had been very 1 with everything he had. However, when he found his elder brother was 2 than him, he felt disappointed. So he 3 hard about how he could also be richer. Finally he got an idea. He started to spend less money on food and clothes to 4 some money to buy more land. Once he had enough money, he started 5 for land.
He 6 that on the neighboring land, there were some nomads (游牧民) living there. He bought some gifts and went to 7 their head. He presented the gifts to the head and told him the 8 of his visit. The head welcomed him, accepted the gifts and agreed to his 9 to get the land. The head told him that he could have the land 10 giving him anything. He can take as much land as he could 11 by walking through the land before sunset (日落). He should start in the morning and whatever distance he could travel during the 12 , he could have it.
The farmer became very 13 when he heard this offer. Now he could have lots of 14 without paying anything. He came 15 the next morning and started running, not walking, 16 he could cover the largest area. To reach his goal, he neither ate food, nor drank water, nor had any rest. He just continued 17 . Without eating, or drinking, or resting he just got very 18 . When he came back to the head in the evening, he 19 right on the spot. Sadly his son buried him in a piece of land about 6 x 4 feet.

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural 36 seemed to be unlimited.
Today things are 37 . The world has become too 38 . We are 39 our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are 40 our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we 41 to do this, human life on earth will not 42 .
People realize today that if too many 43 are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing 44 , more and more fish are caught.
We know that if too many trees are cut down, 45 will disappear and nothing will 46 on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to 47 more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. 48 , in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to 49 this.
We also know that if the 50 of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there won't be enough food. What can we do to solve the 51 ? If we eat more vegetables and less 52 , there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept.
Our natural resources will 53 longer if we learn to recycle them. The world population will not 54 so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we 55 people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future.

Dinah is one of the most good-natured children that ever lived, but she is very, very lazy. There is nothing she likes, or used to like, so much as to curl up in some warm corner in the sun and do nothing.
Dinah’s mother wished very much that her child should learn to read, but the lady who tried to teach her soon give it up. “It is no 16 ,” she said, “Dinah 17 not learn. She is not stupid, but too lazy.”
It happened soon that a young man from Massachusetts came to the house where Dinah lived. He brought with him something no one else in the neighborhood had ever seen before－a pair of roller-skates.
When Dinah saw the young man going rapidly up and down the piazza (广场) on his skates she was so 18 . She ran after him like a cat, her black eyes shining.
One day the young man allowed her to 19 the skates. The child was too happy for words. Of course she fell down, but did not 20 at all.
“Look here, Dinah,” said the young man, “I understand that my aunt has been trying to teach you to read. Why didn’t you learn? Now, if you can read, I will send you a pair of good roller-skates.”
For a moment she said 21 , then exclaimed decidedly, “I’ll have those skates, sure.”
And she did. When she 22 her mind on her work, she could always do it well, 23 it was.
The lady who had before this found her 24 difficult a child to teach, now had no trouble. If Dinah showed the least 25 of her former laziness, the word SKATES was enough to draw her attention back to her lesson instantly.
On New Year’s morning she received a box marked in large printed letters:
MISS DINAH MORRIS,
Care of Mrs. Lawrence Delaney,
NEW ORLEANS, LA.
If she can read what is on the outside of this box she can have what is inside.
And as Dinah read every word clearly and quickly, of course she had the fine roller-skates the box held. And now sitting curled up in the sun, doing nothing, is not the thing she likes to do best.
