On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t 1 her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many physical differences —lots of 2 for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.
Every day as we drove to school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a
3 face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her 4 , and now her eyes are frightening me! Make her put them back on!” I also did that because I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart 5 for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look 6 , because she was so ashamed and alone. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates 7 the night of our class roller skating party.
Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to 8 , but I could see how much she wanted to 9 like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in 10 .
On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me 11 together, but 12 insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.
After graduation, I never heard from Amy again. However, I never 13 her and I’ve always 14 if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my life. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress (给…留下印象) people by trying to 15 like them. I became myself.

“But I feel good doing this!” the little boy’s voice rang in my ears when I entered the mall. He stood raising for cancer research. In the cold wind, he pulled his hat down over his ears. He warmed one hand in his pocket and held a list with the other hand. I noticed him greeting the people passing by gloves on his hands.
I checked my purse but I didn’t find any change. I was ready to give money because I wished cancer could be cured (治愈) one day.
“I’ll bring you some money when I returned” I the little boy.
“Thank you!” he smiled and he seemed almost in the cold air. I suggested he come inside the mall, but he said, “The guard there said is allowed to raise money for charities (慈善) in the mall. But I feel good doing this here. It’s OK.”

“Will the cancer research give you something to thank you for doing this?”

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to get food ready for the animals.
Each kind of animal eats special food. For example, the lions must eat meat; the giraffes will eat grass and leaves; and the parrots must have fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won’t let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately(分离的). Every morning the zoo keepers must clean each cage. This can be dangerous, especially(尤其) with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the keepers always lock the animals in the sleeping compartments(隔间) while they are washing the cages. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes the zoo workers have to inject(注射) the sick animals, even the lions.
All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public(公众的) holidays. Each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.
The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. They must stop those people from doing dangerous things.

A．Nuts. B．Fruit. C．Meat. D．Grass and leaves.
A．they eat special food B．they often quarrel with each other while eating C．they always make trouble D．they won’t let the others eat their food

We had no idea at first. Then our four-member group had a and went to do some research (调查) in a supermarket. Two of us wrote down the names of the food on the shelves. The other two customers (顾客) some questions like “Do you know what green food is?” “How often do you green food?” and so on. More than 30 customers our questions! Later each group in our class wrote a research report the topic and handed it in (交上). Our teacher chose the ones and put them up on the wall of the classroom. was one of them! We not only learned a lot about green food but also knew how to keep healthy.
