Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It does not have the same meaning as our “ {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   “. If someone wants to visit  India, he should know this or it will give him some   {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  .

 One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired （雇用）a car and an Indian driver. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the driver shook his head at once. The officer {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  his order and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 。

“How dare（敢）you refuse my order?” he  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   , “Drive me to the office at once!”

 The driver answered in a very loud voice too. “Yes, sir.” But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

 The car started and the officer was now so surprised that he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}   say a word. He thought about it for a while and nodded with a smile, " 'No' means 'Yes' here!”

Food is very important. Everyone needs to{#blank#}1{#/blank#} well if he or she wants to have a strong body(身体). Our brains (大脑) also need a kind of food. This kind of food is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . We begin to get knowledge (知识) When we are very young. Small children are interested in everything around them. They learn {#blank#}3{#/blank#} while (当) they are watching and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . When they are getting older, they begin to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} storybooks, anything they like. When they find something new, they like to ask questions and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to find out the answer.
What is the best {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to get knowledge? If we {#blank#}8{#/blank#} by ourselves, we'll get the most knowledge. If we're {#blank#}9{#/blank#} getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in a right way, we will learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and understand (理解) better.

    In a tree in a jungle, there once lived many birds. They were  h{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in their small nests（鸟巢） and sang every day. Before the rainy season arrived, all the animals in the jungle repaired their homes. The birds a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}made their homes safer.

    Many birds brought twigs （细枝） and leaves and others wove（编织） their nests."We  s{#blank#}3{#/blank#}also store some food for our children," said one of the birds. And they collected food until they had enough to see them through the rainy season. They kept  t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}busy getting ready for the bad times.

    Soon the rain came. It was f{#blank#}5{#/blank#}by thunder and lightning. All the animals and birds stayed at their homes. It kept raining for many days. One day, a monkey wet in the rain came into the jungle. He sat on a branch（树枝）, shaking w{#blank#}6{#/blank#}cold.

    The poor monkey tried his best to get a place, but f{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The leaves were not enough to save him from the rain."Brrr! Itis so cold!" said the monkey. The birds were watching all this. They felt sorry for the monkey,  b{#blank#}8{#/blank#}there was little they could do for him. One of them said. "Brother! Our small nests are not big enough to give you shelter." Another bird said, "All ofus prepared for the rainy season. If you had, you would not be in this difficult  s{#blank#}9{#/blank#}".

    "How dare you tell me what to do?" said the monkey, shouting at the "bird. The monkey  a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}hit the bird's nest and threw it on the ground. The bird and her babies were helpless.

    The poor birds thought, "Fool never value（重视） good advice. It is better not to advise them ".
