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.

Harry：Hey，Alice！I'm a little nervous. I have to finish{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a book and give a report next Friday.

Alice：That doesn't sound too bad.

Harry：But I'm a slow reader.

Alice：Just read quickly to get the main ideas firstly. Don't read word{#blank#}2{#/blank#}word. Read word groups.

Harry：But I don't understand many of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I may need a dictionary.

Alice：Try to guess a word's{#blank#}4{#/blank#}by reading the sentences before and after it. You probably understand more than you think.

Harry：That sounds difficult！

Alice：Well, be patient. It takes time. You can become better by reading something you enjoy every day. The more you read, the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you'll be.

    A wise man was visiting a village with his students He found a group of family members {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in anger at each other He turned to his students and asked," Why do people shout in anger at each other?"

    His students {#blank#}2{#/blank#}for a while, and one of them said, "Because when we lose our calm, we shout."

     "But, why should you shout when the other person is just {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner. "

    Students gave some other{#blank#}4{#/blank#}but none were any good.

   " When two people are angry at each other, their hearts became distanced(疏远的), " the wise man explained. "To cover the distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they will have to shout to hear each other."

    "What {#blank#}6{#/blank#}when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk {#blank#}7{#/blank#}because their hearts are very close." The wise man said.

    He looked at his students and said, "So when you argue, do not let your hearts {#blank#}8{#/blank#} distant. Stop {#blank#}9{#/blank#}words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}great that you will not find the way back."
