    Do you know an old city called “Pingyao” in Shanxi? The old city is not far from Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province (省). It's a town with a long history of more than two thousand years.

    The old city is not very large. It is only 2.25 square kilometers in size. And there are no tall buildings here. Most of the buildings have only two floors. And most of them are made of stones (石头). There are many Chinese-style shops on each side of the street.

    Pingyao is a square city. The city has a wall around it. It's about 6 km long and 12 m high. The wall has six gates. And you mustn't miss the nice food in Pingyao. Try Pingyao beef and you are sure to fall in love with it.

    Pingyao is a place worth (值得) a visit. You can take buses or trains here. It's less than 2 hours' bus ride from Taiyuan. It costs you only 20 yuan. If you take a train, it will take you less time, only one and a half hours. And if you want to go to Pingyao from Beijing, the train ride takes only about 6 hours.

The City of Pingyao

    I was waiting on the station platform for the Tianjin train when a man asked me if I knew the time of the next train to Tianjin. I often had to go there myself, so I knew and told him. A few minutes later an old lady wanted to know whether the train to Shanghai had already left. I knew that it had not, So of course, I told her. Then a girl came to me and asked why the train from Nanjing was late. I just told her that when trains were late, it was usually because something had happened. I was wondering why all these people were asking me those questions when I noticed that I was standing next to a sign that said "Inquiry Office."

    Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two-thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.

    They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard，and further weakening the health of the natural populations.

    Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife，it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks（攻击）from other animals. In fact，outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five，while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.

    Keep your pet cat inside！If you raise a young cat，it's your duty to let it play inside.

    Once upon a time, there were three fish living in a pool. One evening, some fishermen (渔夫) passed by and saw the fish." This pool is full of fish!" they said excitedly. "We've never fished here before. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}" After saying that, they left.

    When the oldest of three fish heard this, he was worried. He said, Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pool quickly. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}" The second fish said. You're right. We must leave here. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} "There's nothing to worry about." he said "We have lived here all our live. No fisherman has ever come here. I'm not going anywhere. My luck will keep me safe."

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}The second fish saw the fishermen coming early the next morning and left quickly. The oldest fish left the pool that evening.

    The purpose of students who come to school is to study. But studying needs right ways. The following opinions are ways of studying.

    The best time to read is morning. Because in the morning, the air is fresh and our minds are clear.

    When we study, we must be patient(有耐心的). If we don't understand a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next until we have learned the first one well.

    When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book. We cannot read absentmindedly(心不在焉),or we couldn't get anything from the book while we are reading.

    We must always ask "why". If we can't understand well, write it down and ask our teachers or parents, brothers or friends, in any possible ways.

    Though there are many ways for studying, however, the above mentioned will be helpful if we can keep them in heart.
