There is a zoo named Zhongshan in our city. There are many animals. Some animals are very friendly. But some other animals are not. Tigers, lions and some snakes are dangerous(危险的). That’s why they must be in cages(笼). But I don’t think it’s good for animals to be in cages. They need to be free. The animals in cages cannot be happy.

| Mr. and Mrs. White had two sons and three daughters. One Sunday， Mrs. White said to her husband， "The children don't have any lessons today， and you are free too. There's a new funfair (游乐场) in the park. Let's all go there to play." Her husband said， "I want to finish some work today." "Oh， forget it. Go there and make our children happy.

Honesty of American students
When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates.Over my first month at school,I didn’t see or hear anyone cheating.I found two reasons for this.
First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished.My school has a rule called the Honor Code.It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat.If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school.During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.
Second,American students don’t care about scores as much as Chinese students do.They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores.So they have fewer reasons to cheat.The writer didn’t see or hear anyone cheating when she first arrived in America, did she?
What is the Honor Code about?
What will happen if students go against the code?
Who does the writer think care more about scores, American students or Chinese students?
Do American colleges think all-round abilities are important for students?
