Once the colors of the world argued. All thought that they were the best and most important.

    Green said, "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I'm the color of grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die."

    Yellow laughed, "You are all so serious. I bring happiness and warmth into the world. Every time people look at a yellow sunflower, they start to smile. Without me there would be no fun."

    Orange shouted, "I am the color of health and strength. I have the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, vegetables and oranges. When I appear in the sky, everyone is shocked at my beauty and nobody gives another thought to any of you."

    Red couldn't stand it any longer. "I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blood."

    Their voices became louder and louder. The thunder got angry and the rain started to pour. When they became calm, the rain said, "You foolish colors. Don't you know that each of you is special? If you don't agree, just follow me." They did as the rain told them and together made the most beautiful rainbow.

    Gordon stands in the hallway．No one is there．He looks at his watch．It's 8：10 am．He is 10 minutes late for class．He has to go to the music room, but he doesn't know where it is．

    He knows the music room isn't on the first floor．His classroom is on the first floor．So Gordon goes up the stairs(楼梯)．He knows he has to walk quickly.The teacher will be worried(担心的)．

    Gordon goes to the second floor and he turns to the right．He goes down the hallway．On the left．he sees a door．"It may be the music room．"he thinks．No!It is the art room．A young teacher is in it．Gordon asks the teacher,"Sorry,I'm new here．Do you know where the music room is?"

    "Sure．"the teacher says．"It's on the third floor．Go up the stairs and turn left．On your right．You'll see a door like this one．That is the music room．"

    Gordon thanks her and goes up the stairs．Gordon' s class teacher,Mr Lewis，is outside the music room．

    "There you are!"Mr Lewis says．"Your music teacher Mr Green asks me to find you．"

    Gordon smiles．"I find you first!"
