A ship named the Sewol(岁月号) turned over and sank off an island in South Korea on April 16. It was carrying 476 passengers, including 325 high school students. By May 19, at least 287 people have died and 17 people were still missing. The accident has shocked South Korea. People are also angry with the crew (船员), especially the captain. The crew told the passengers to stay on the ship, but they themselves were some of the first people to get off.
It sank within two hours after sending a distress signal(遇险求救信号). Pictures from the scene showed rescue teams balanced on the sinking hull pulling teenagers from windows. Some of their classmates jumped into the sea as the ship went down. It is not yet clear what caused the accident, but some people described hearing an impact(碰撞) and quickly sank, but the captain seemed not to act quickly to evacuate(疏散)passengers to avoid this disaster.

When did the accident happen?
How many students were there on the ship?
Did the ship send a distress signal before it sank?
The captain evacuated passengers quickly when the accident happened, didn’t he?

One day a farmer went out for a walk with his daughter. The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes－one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one. So as he began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable. When he was just out of the house, he turned to his daughter and said, “Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today?”

In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal — a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you can do this, too. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.“A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die! is used to prove(证明) that
