Six Chinese Characters
Dear students, our country has a long history. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people. Here are the top six lucky ones. Please note we use "pinyin" here because "pinyin" is the Chinese spelling system for the characters. For example, "fu" is the "pinyin" for good luck in Chinese. "pinyin" "fu" is only the phonic (语音的 ) part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck "fu", you must read the Chinese character福 because "fu" also represents (代表) other Chinese characters that sound the same.
1.福 "fu" means blessing, good fortune, good luck. Chinese character福 "fu" is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. It is often displayed upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down福"fu" means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "come".
2.禄 "Iu" means prosperity.
It is used to mean official's salary(薪水 ) in feudal (封建的 ) China.
3. 寿 "shou" means longevity.
Chinese character寿 "shou" also means life, age or birthday.
4.喜 "xi" is happiness.
The doubled character喜 "xi" means double happiness. It is usually displayed everywhere at Chinese weddings.
5.财 "cai" is wealth or money.
Chinese often say "money can make a ghost turn a millstone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But, still-money can’t buy everything.
6.和 "he" means harmomous.

Love is a two - way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: "Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言 ) , the father shouted: "Andrew, don’t do it now. I'm too busy! "
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: "You can finish later. The boy said nothing but quietly walked away." That evening the father said: "Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!" But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote: "If only(要是...,该多好)i could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting."
Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a "NO" and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don't receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.

When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆 ) works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备 ) , and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do. Someone can’t have a good memory if _
| A．his parents don't have a good memory |
| B．he can't read or write |
| C．he doesn’t use his memory |
| D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time |
If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _
| A．they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again |
| B．they will become stronger |
| C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again |
| D．you cant use them any more |
Which of the following is true?
| A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs. |
| B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance to practice. |
| C． Don't learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory. |
| D．A good memory comes from less practice. |
Few people know that it is only _ if a friend has a poor memory.
| A．his grandmother's fault | B．his parents fault |
| C．his teachers’ fault | D．his own fault |
The writer wants to tell us________ .
| A．how to have a good memory | B．how to read and write |

Butterflies are common all over the world，but butterflies in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in coo1er countries，and there are more different kinds．
Usually the male(雄性的)butterflies are more brightly colored than the females．The females have bigger and heavier bodies since they carry the eggs．The bright colors of the males help to attract the females，and the duller(较暗淡的)colors of the females make them less likely(可能的)to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs．
Some butterflies have bright pattern colors on the upper surface of their wings that show when flying ,but when they rest on a tree or leaves , they close their wings．On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown marks which look like the tree or leaves．They are then difficult to be seen．The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly．When its wings are c1osed，it looks exactly like a dead leaf．There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf．When the butterfly is run after by a bird，it closes its wings and seems to have disappeared completely．
Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes．The round marks have a useful function(功能)．When the butterflies are resting，their wings are closed，and these marks can’t be seen. When a bird sees one，and begins to attack it，the butterfly will open its Wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it，frightened，and flies away．The female butterflies have bigger and heavier bodies than the males because _______
| A．the females carry the eggs | B．the females eat more |
| C．the males are more active | D．the males have smaller wings |
The duller colors of the female butterflies ___________ .
| A．help to fly easily | B．help to attract the males |

Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China．But several days ago，I had a biology class outside in my American schoo1．
My biology teacher，Mr.Kwak，divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择)and how birds find food．
He gave the first group one spoon per person，the second group forks and my group"knives．I thought we were going hunting，so knives might work better．Surprisingly，he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools．
When the game started all of us ran to the grass area．We squatted(蹲)down and looked for beans．It was hard to pick up something that small，especially from the grass .
When I almost fired a bean，it dropped back to the ground．When I finally picked up several beans．one of my friends ran into me．I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over．All my beans dropped to the ground!Just at that moment，Mr．Kwak called us back．I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result．I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island，I would be dead soon．
The fun game made me realize that natural selection is redly competitive(竞争的)．Everyone is trying his or her best to—survive．
