A long time ago, the monkey and the turtle were good friends. One day, they saw a fallen banana tree and decided to plant it. They divided the tree into two parts. The monkey took the part with leaves, thinking that it would grow faster, and then they went home and planted it. Many days passed. The monkey's plant died but the turtle's grew well and produced fruit. When the fruit was ripe(成熟的),the turtle asked the monkey to share it with him. The monkey climbed up the tree and ate all the fruit. So the turtle got angry. He found some sharp sticks and put them around the tree. When the monkey came down, he hurt himself. The turtle laughed and hid himself under a big shell(贝壳). The monkey got very angry and caught the turtle.
“I'll cut you into pieces," said the monkey.
“Good, so there will be many turtles. ”
“No, I'll put you into the fire.
“That's better. My skin will be red.”
“No, I'll throw you into the river. ”
“No,” said the turtle, “I'll die.”
The monkey threw the turtle into the river, and the turtle swam happily.
There are about 7 billion people on the Earth now. The world's population is a big problem because it will cause lots of problems in the future. More people will need more food and more room.
The world population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year during 1950-1951 to over 2 percent in the early 1960s.Although the growth rate thereafter started to fall due to(由于) people's getting married later as well as the development of technology, the rate is on the rise again now.
The important thing is not how large the population of the world is, but how fast the rate increases. The world population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999.The world population will grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2050.This great growth of the population will create a big problem by the year 2100-there will be over 10 billion people in the world then.
Tokyo is Japan's capital and largest city. It's also one of the largest cities in the world. To has a history of hundreds of years, and now it is the main part of a big city area. The big city area is called Greater Tokyo. It includes (包括) Tokyo and some other cities near it. There are over 30,000,000 people living in this area.
Many streets of Tokyo are very crowded, and most of the buildings are very tall and modem. But how could such an old city look so modern? During World War II, over a third of buildings in Tokyo were destroyed (被摧毁). After World War II, people began to build the city again. That way, the city looked different from before.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar(日历).
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st—January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal(正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟酒)at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of(摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador(厄瓜多尔), families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned(燃烧) to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread(普遍的) Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black eyed peas(豌豆) for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
— Of course you can.
— No, you . You can wait till the rain stops.
A friend of mine likes drawing horses. He draws the horses very (good). But he always begins at the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I am (surprise). It strikes me that it cannot really make any (different) whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not (follow) other people's rules. They make their (owner) rules. Every one of them does his work his own way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of (begin) at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough (trust) your own power. When you become more experienced you will ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail-that is to say, you will write the end the story before you think of the beginning.
A. Warm up enough. B. Make yourself seen. C. Get a partner. D. Take it inside. E. Make yourself comfortable. |
Winter can be a difficult time to take exercise. Apart from the short daylight and cold weather, there are also plenty of holidays to keep you away from exercising. So how to keep fit and not to put on too much weight during the winter time? Here are some tips for you.
You don't necessarily have to do some intense(剧烈的) sports. When you run or walk, don't worry about how fast or slow you're going. Just find a rhythm(节奏) that makes you feel easy and comfortable. Winter is not the time to be strict with yourself.
Before you head out, warm up indoors to slowly raise the heart rate(心率) , without sweating(流汗) a lot. Run in place, walk up and down the stairs, or use a jump rope. It does work as long as it can get your heart beating faster.
Try to take exercise during the daytime. When the air is the warmest and the sun is out, the weather is more suitable for exercising. But if you have to walk or run in the dark, do carry a flashlight.
Exercising with a friend, even once a week, can help you get out of the door. It's hard to stay and not to move when someone is waiting for you, and you two can encourage each other.
If you cannot stand the cold outside, why not go for some indoor sports? You can take a yoga class, play badminton or swim in an indoor swimming pool. Whatever sport makes you want to exercise, just do it. Never stop moving for health!
