"You have saved my horse，" Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her． "Now you shall get a gift for what you did．" Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair． That day when he was working in the field， the shocked horse ran past him． Without thinking， he rushed out and controlled it．He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift． But he still felt happy for getting one．
Two of the queen's men appeared． One carried a mirror． Red jewels（珠宝） shone on top of the mirror's silver frame（框架）． The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it．
"Only one gift can be yours，" the queen said． "Choose wisely．" "That's easy，" Peter said．" I'll take the chicken．" Some of the queen's men laughed． It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice．
"And why did you choose the chicken？" the queen asked． "Well， I don't know much about jewels，" Peter answered． "But I do know about chickens． The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while．"
Queen Olivia smiled． "Then you did make a wise choice，" she said． "That mirror may look beautiful． But the jewels you see are only colored glass， and the frame is painted silver． The chicken is much more valuable．" Peter took the chicken and bowed． "Thank you， your majesty．"
"You are a smart child，" the queen added． "I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses． Would you like to take the job？" Peter smiled． "Thank you very much!" he said excitedly． A job at the castle paid well． Now his family wouldn't worry about their food any more﹣all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

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 (既不…也不…) 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 (洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to understand the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

It was Mary’s birthday. She got a letter from her uncle who was a farmer.
“Dear Mary,” the letter said. “Happy Birthday. I am sending you some chickens as your birthday present. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you like them. Best wishes, Uncle Toby.
Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and she liked eating chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought. When the chickens arrived the next day, they were in the box. Mary was very excited. She took the box off the back of the truck and began to carry it into her garden. However, the box of chickens was heavy and she dropped it. The box fell to the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran everywhere－into neighbors' gardens, into the road, into shops, even into the next street. Mary spent hours trying to find them and take them back to her garden.
A few days later her uncle came to visit her. “Did the chickens arrive safely?" he asked Mary. “Yes, Uncle Toby,” Mary said. “But I had a lot of trouble with them. I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. I spent the whole morning looking for them." “Did you find them all?” her uncle asked. “I hope so,” Mary replied. “I caught eleven of them.” “That's very interesting,” her uncle said with a smile, “because I only sent you six.Why did Mary’s uncle sent her some chickens ?

We all need a healthy environment（环境）, but we produce waste every day and it is harmful to our environment and health. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. www.gaokw.com This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from foreign countries.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair the old things if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes help protect them.

Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes.
Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run away from them.
