Today is Sunday. Mr. Smith drives the car to the zoo with his family. They want to see animals. They get to the zoo at 9:00 in the morning.

    They see smart elephants, cute pandas and many other animals. Mrs. Smith's favorite animals are elephants. They are very friendly and they have long noses (鼻子). The elephants from Thailand can draw very well. They're one of Thailand's symbols. Look at the small panda. He looks unhappy. He can't find his mother. The visitors(游客) can see the animals, but they can't give them food. Too much food isn't good for them.

    Welcome to the zoo and play with them.

There are some snack shops inside schools in China. These shops sell snacks1a lot of salt and sugar. Many young students like 2 snacks. Because they think snacks taste good. They often go there3 some after class. But eating 4 snacks is not good for 5 health. 6 the Chinese government( 政 府 ) said there would be 7 snack shops in the schools from April 1st.

There is also a new 8 on students' food safety. The government is asking schools to keep an eye on students' 9. It asks teachers to 10 with students at school together at the lunch time.

    Emilyand Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. Theycould climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watchthe birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food outto attract（吸引）more birds.

    Everythingwas fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise ona window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neckseemed to be broken.

    "Itmust have flown into the window," Alex said when his sister Emily called himto have a look. "Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark where it hit thewindow. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck(粘贴) on the window."

    "Poorthing!" Emily said.

    Duringthe next month, another five birds died in the same way. "Why would they flyto the windows?" they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When thebirds were flying, they couldn't see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(反射) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees becausethey saw trees reflected by the window.

    "Somethinghas to be done to save the birds." the parents decided.

    At first,he family tried keeping curtains（窗帘）across the windows, but thismade the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shapeof ahawk. They made six hawks—one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They lookedpretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they wouldfly away.

    Afterthat, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier.

I remember my first day at university very clearly.

I felt excited and happy. At the same time I was very nervous because I didn't know anyone. However, my first day at university was unforgettable..

At first, I was lost. I didn't know where to go. I had to ask a stranger where to meet other new students. He was very polite and showed me the way. I walked through some buildings, and when I arrived, I saw many students and I felt even more nervous.

It is natural that we feel nervous on the first day at university, but difficult experiences often have happy endings.

I told myself to be braver. I talked with one girl and we found that we were in the same class. We introduced ourselves. Her name was May. We did some activities together in a group. Soon, I started feeling much better.The activities helped me feel that I was part of a team and I began to feel that I was a university student.

Later, we began our classes. The teacher talked for a while and then we introduced ourselves. I met two girls. Their names were Jane and Anna. We started talking soon and became friends with each other. It was really a special day for me.

Mrs Ball had a son. His name was Mick. She1 him very much and as he was not a2 child,she was always3 that he might be ill.4 she used to take him to see the best5 in the town four times a year to be looked over.  During one of these visits, the doctor gave Mick all kinds of tests and then said to him," Have you had any6 with your nose or ears recently ?" Mick7 for a second and then answered . " Yes,I8 . " Mrs Ball was very9 . "But I'm sure you have never told me that, Mick !" She said worriedly. " Oh, really ?" said the doctor10 " And what trouble have you with your nose and ears, my boy ?" "Well," answered Mick, "I always have trouble with them when I'm taking my sweater off, because the collar (衣领)is very tight（紧的）. " 

Harry is a student. Harry's mother 1 a new sport hat for him. It's brown— Harry's favorite color. His shoes, ruler and eraser are 2 , too. After school, Harry goes back home.

" Where is your new 3 ?" asks Mom.

" Oh! My hat!" says Harry."4 in the classroom. I must go there!"

 Then Harry goes to the 5 and look for(寻找) the hat. 6 he can't find it." Oh,I 7 my new hat," says Harry. And he goes back home.

 At home, Harry's mother says," Do you want to call your teacher 8 help?"

 And then Harry opens(打开) his schoolbag to get(拿) his 9 . He finds his new hat!

" Look, Mom!" says Harry." My hat is in the schoolbag! It's not lost."

" Great!" says Mom." But you must be careful(小心的)!"

" You' re 10 , Mom." says Harry.
