There was a farm,where lived Farmer John with his wife Molly. They raised pigs,cows and many other animals on their farm. Also there lived a little mouse.
One day John came back with a bag. From the bag,John took out a mousetrap and set it. When the mouse saw this, it ran away in fear and decided to run around the farmyard to warn all its animal friends.
First it met the chicken. "There is a mousetrap on the farm!" The mouse said in fear. But the chicken answered peacefully,"There is nothing to do with me. This is a danger for you, not for me." Then the mouse rushed to the pig and the cow to tell them about mousetrap. But they showed no worry about it,either. Sad and depressed,the little mouse returned to the house.
On that night,Molly heard a sound of the mousetrap. She hurried to see what was in it,but because of the darkness,she did not see that it was a poisonous snake,caught in the trap by the tail. Unluckily the snake bit Molly. John rushed her to the hospital. Later, when they returned home,Molly still had a fever. John remembered that chicken soup was good for a fever,so he went to his farmyard to bring the chicken. Molly's sickness continued and many friends came to visit her, the farmer killed the pig so he could treat all the visitors.

There is a new sport in American. It is a game called “Earthball”. “Earthball” is like a huge beach ball. While you are playing the game, you should try to keep the ball in the air if possible(可能). As the ball is so big, lots of people have to play together. A man called Stuart Frand invented the game. There are no winners or losers in the game. The idea is just to enjoy yourself as much as you can.
“Earthball” is just one of the games in a “New Games Festival”. The festival first took place in the countryside near San Francisco, in the USA. Perhaps other countries can follow the example of the man from California and have festivals to test(试验) new games—it sounds like a good idea.

China has decided to stop the use of free plastic bags. Supermarkets, shops and outlets(经销店) in China can’t offer plastic bags any more.
Every year, people use too many plastic bags. They throw them here and there after they have used them. The government has done its best to deal with them but failed. While we offer quick service（服务）to customers, the plastic bags pollute water, earth and air, and they waste the oil. The government asks people to go back to carry cloth bags and use baskets when they go to buy something. The cloth bags and the baskets can be used again and again.
