(绿色). And I enjoy traveling because I can see beautiful sights and meet different people. I have visited China
（两次）. How is it in China now? Do you get a lot of
(雪) this winter? We have it

(迟到) for school. It may
(听起来) terrible, right? I am waiting for spring to come! It seems to begin to get
(温暖), but there are still yellow
(树叶) in my garden. I hope spring comes soon. When flowers come out , I will go outside with my
(哥哥) and his friends. How about you ? What are you going to do in spring ?

One day ,a woman got on a bus with a child in her arms. The woman sat down next to an old couple. The old woman took a look at the child and said in a low voice to her husband,” Look at the child. He’s so ugly(丑陋的).”
The woman heard what the old woman said and began to cry. She cried and cried and no one could stop her.
When the bus came to a stop, a young man got on the bus with some bananas and sat at the back of the bus. He saw the woman crying, so he went over and said to her,” Oh, come, please don’t cry any more. You look very ugly when you are crying.”
The woman didn’t stop crying. Instead, she cried even harder. The young man didn’t know what he could do. Suddenly he noticed the bananas in his hand and had a good idea.

Look at the cat on the left. Find anything strange?
In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat’s ears were folded (折着的), bent (弯曲) forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold”.
The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. They make it look very lovely. Interestingly（有趣地）, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats’ ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.
There is a nickname（昵称）for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger（信使）of Peace”. Why? Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different places, for example, at a noisy house or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.
Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it’s difficult to feel comfortable in the new place? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold, which is always sweet and friendly to others.
