I Don’t Have to Be Like Them(保持真我)
All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up. You may not think that having a good family is a problem. But for me , it was. I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.
We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US. There are three girls in the Smith family, Amanda, Theresa and me . People often say things to me , like “ Oh, the three of you , you’re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You’re really nothing like them . ” That made me sad.
At school , all of my teachers had taught my sisters . On the first day of school , they said , “Oh , the youngest of the three! I hope you’re just like your sisters. They’re such wonderful students.”
People always compared（比较） me with my sisters . So I couldn’t help comparing myself with them , too. Theresa was smarter（更聪明的）, Amanda was prettier . I began to work hard to be more like them . What my sisters did , I did , too. At last , I became drum major（主鼓手）of our school ’s marching band . Both Amanda and Theresa had been drum majors . I became editor of the school’s newspaper . Theresa had been the editor two years before.
But last year, Amanda went to college（大学） , and Theresa went to high school . Now I’m by myself at junior high . Everyone knows me , because I’m the drum major and the newspaper’s editor .
Now I don’t feel like a Smith girl any more , I feel like myself . I’m proud of doing all of the same great things that my sisters did . But the best thing I did was to learn to stop comparing myself with them .

There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering(提供) food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.

A crow(乌鸦) is about twenty inches(英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests(巢) in the trees. They sleep there at night.
Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns(轮流) like human beings(人类). It is easy to tell(判断) from crow’s sound if they are pleased or angry.
