There were three big fish in the lake.One of them,Demo,was wise;another one,Jimmy,was half﹣wise;Martin,the third one,was stupid.
Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets.The three fish saw them.
Demo decided at once to leave,to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean.He thought,"I won't discuss with these two about this.They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on.How silly they are!They still haven't realized we are in great danger now.Their ignorance will cost them their lives."
Seeing the wise fish had left,Jimmy thought,"My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape."He felt sorry for it and then thought,"What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets?Perhaps I should pretend (假装)to be already dead,giving myself totally to the water."So he did that.He went up and down with the water,helpless,within arm's reach of the fishermen.
"Look at this!The best and biggest fish is dead."One of the men lifted him by the tail,and threw him up on the ground.He rolled (滚动)over and over and moved secretly toward the water,and then,back in.
The third fish was aimlessly jumping about,trying to escape with his speed and cleverness.The net,of course,finally closed around him,and as he lay in the hot frying﹣pan bed,he thought,"If I get out of this,I'll never live again in the limits of the lake.Next time,the ocean!I'll make it my home."

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board(董事会)to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000﹣one﹣fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown﹣ups who set to work raising the rest.

Dear Rita, How are you? Last time you asked me about the greatest invention in my eyes. I have also discussed it with my best friends, Anna, Sue and Kris. We have different ideas. Anna thinks it is the high﹣speed railway; Sue, the shared bike; Kris, the online shopping; and I prefer the Internet. The Internet is just like a net, and it connects us with the world. In the past, it was nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other countries. They had to spend a long time to reach their destinations (目的地), and not everyone could do that. But the Internet has made the impossible possible. Now we can communicate with foreigners online. The Internet also helps us know what is happening around the world, and has made our life and work easier. In recent years, shopping online is very popular. We can just stay at home and buy what we need online. We can also do online office work and distance education. Besides, we can watch movies, listen to music and even play games to relax ourselves on the Internet. So, I think that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions. It has changed our world! Although there are still many problems with the Internet, they will be solved in the near future. As a student we should make good use of the Internet! Yours, Martin |

Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean. Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy. They liked doing different things. Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball, football, and any other sport imaginable. Jack preferred to draw, paint, or build sandcastles(沙堡).

After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs,towers and walls,he took pictures of it.Then he painted colorful posters featuring(突出)his sandcastle and the question, "Can you top this?" He hung his posters everywhere in town, announcing his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry﹣all ages welcome.
When Frank saw poster, he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come. Still, shortly after sunrise on Saturday, Jack was on the beach digging in the sand. By mid﹣morning, four kids were sculpting(雕塑)the sand alongside him. By noon the number had increased a lot.
After Frank came back from his ball game, he went to check how his brother's plan turned out. He couldn't believe what he saw. At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach.

China has ended its long﹣lasted one﹣child policy,all Chinese couples now are allowed to have two children,which means that many Chinese children,including you,may have siblings (兄弟姐妹) in the future.
Like many only children in China,Pan is happy and confident,except when she feels lonely every now and then."It's not fun,especially when I travel with my parents.How I wish I could have a brother or a sister,"she said.Now it could be time for Pan to realize her dream.But what would it be like growing up with a sibling?
Having a sibling can prevent children from bad feelings such as loneliness and fear,according to Laura Walker from Brigham Young University,US."Siblings give kids something that parents can't,"she said.
You may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with.You can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other.
But children with siblings also have to control their feelings and learn to compromise,said Laura.You need to share things with your siblings,including attention from parents,toys,the bathroom and even the TV.There is also unpleasant competition which you have to deal with.
It's also said that the birth order decides how parents treat their children.Parents are usually very nervous and strict with their first child.So firstborns (including only children) have more sense of responsibility because parents set high goals for them.When the couple has a second child,they are more relaxed,less strict and have fewer rules.So late﹣born kids are usually funny and creative.
