    There was once a very special lion called Simba. Simba would play in this beautiful place, running and jumping with his friends, the leopards(豹)and other lions in the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Simba had a very special gift—every time he spoke loudly, he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}such a strong wind. And it seemed like a hurricane(飓风).

    On the land where Simba lived were lots of animals: giraffes, elephants, etc. And even though it wasn't a particularly{#blank#}3{#/blank#}place, there were lots of trees and animals. One day, as Simba was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}with his friends, they saw enormous machines destroying part of the plain by building oil wells.

    Day by day, the men built more and more oil wells, destroying the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}nature in the process. Simba had fewer and fewer friends to play with, and fewer{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to run on. Then a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}lion told him that the only way to stop the people using petrol (汽油)was to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}renewable energies. Such as the wind.

    So he decided to help people with one of the most{#blank#}9{#/blank#}renewable energies in the world: wind power. Then he went round all the countries in the world roaring(咆哮)with all his might to create a great wind. It would help men{#blank#}10{#/blank#}more renewable energy. In the end, Simba succeeded in getting people to stop using petrol, and his home became lively again.

    Hunting was once popular in the USA. Long ago the wild was filled with rabbits, bears and many other animals. Hunting provided people with a lot of meat. Also some expressions Americans use today{#blank#}1{#/blank#}hunting.

    One of the expressions is "to bark(吠叫) up the wrong tree". It comes from hunting raccoons(浣熊). The raccoon is a very clever animal. It{#blank#}2{#/blank#}during the day and comes out at night. Hunters used dogs to chase(追赶) the animals. The raccoon used many tricks to escape the dogs. Often it would travel through the river for a while to hide its{#blank#}3{#/blank#}from the dogs. It would also climb into a tree to rest, leaving the dogs barking below it. The hunter found the tree by walking to the sound of the dogs. He used a light to try to see the raccoon and then caught it. Sometimes, however, the raccoon was not in the tree. It had jumped to{#blank#}4{#/blank#}tree and escaped, leaving the dogs "barking up the wrong tree". The expression now means "to be mistaken" or "to look for something in the wrong place".

    Cambridge is a beautiful English city. It has a population{#blank#}1{#/blank#}about 120,000. It's famous for university. It has lots of old{#blank#}2{#/blank#}and churches to visit.

People can visit some famous places there.

    Off the coast of Xiamen in Fujian province. Kulangsu (also named Gulangyu) is no longer an ordinary Chinese village. On July 8, it was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}in the UNESCO's World Heritage List(《世界遗产名录》) , It makes China the country with the second most World Heritage Sites in the world with 52.

    The island might be small, but it's{#blank#}2{#/blank#}to many big-name musicians; among them are pianist Xu Feiping and violinist Yang Jing. It also has the highest per capita (人均) ownership of pianos in China. Therefore, it is called China's "Piano Island".

    "Western classical instruments rarely{#blank#}3{#/blank#}in China before the end of the mid-1800s, "explains Robin Goldstein, tourism spokesperson for Kulangsu." Kulangsu used to be a place for Westerners to live and work. Thus they brought{#blank#}4{#/blank#}from Europe. As a result. Kulangsu became one of the first places in China to play and hear Western classical music."
