    It was Saturday morning. Kate got up early and had breakfast quickly. She was so excited. She was going to the zoo with her family today! There was a new kind of animal in the zoo. It was called sloth (树懒) and it was from South America. Kate never saw a sloth before. She could not wait to see it.

    When Kate and her family got to the zoo, there were already lots of people around the sloth. The sloth was staying in a tree! It looked so cute! Kate looked at the animal for about ten minutes, and then she asked, “Are you sure it is alive (活的), Dad? I don't see it moving at all.” “Of course it is alive,” her father said. “But a sloth can only move really slowly.”

    Kate's family went to see some other animals. Then they went back to the sloth after lunch. Kate looked at the sloth carefully.

A Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. 

One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn't take them off. 

All the animals talked about the bear's new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, "This can't be good.    △    !" But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion. 

However, it wasn't long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn't go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped(滑倒)from the river rock and almost killed himself. 

When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, "Take off those clothes before one day they are going to kill you." Those who listened to the doctor's advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn't need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very dangerous, and they had only done it to make others admire them, and to get attention.

The Last Leaf is a short story written by US writer O. Henry, one of the most famous short story writers in history. Let's find out part of the story in the following excerpt(节选). 

Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常春藤) plant. The half-dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds. 

"There are only five now, " said Joanna. "Five what, dear? What are you counting?"

"The ivy leaves, " replied Joanna. "When the last one goes, I'll die. I've known that for two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it?"

"Joanna, don't say that. Now, have some soup and I'll finish my picture. "

"I don't want any soup, " said Joanna, looking out of the window. "Now there are only four. ""Joanna, dear, try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer. "

Mr Berman, who was over 60 years old, lived downstairs. He was a painter too. Sue told him all about what Joann a said. 

"She can't really think that this will happen! The poor woman, " he cried. 

...

Finally, there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days, the leaf was still there. 

"Sue, " said Joanna, "I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup, dear. "

The next day, the doctor said, "She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs are dying. There is no hope for him, I'm afraid. "

That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom. "Joanna, dear, Mr Berman died today. And do you know why? One terrible cold and wet night, he took a ladder(梯子) and some green and yellow paints and he climbed up. Look at the last ivy on the wall! Why didn't it ever move in the wind? Can't you see? It was Mr Berman's last great picture. "

 Billy always loved blueberries. They were his favorite fruit. Today he was going to make juice with his uncle. His uncle liked to make juice out of everything. He made carrot juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, and more juices. He had never made blueberry juice before though!

 First, Billy and his uncle went to a blueberry farm. They were each given a basket. They picked for an hour and got several pounds. It was hard work picking the little berries from the trees. Now Billy understood why they were expensive in the store. 

 Next, they had to wash the fruit. Some of them still had leaves. Those had to be pulled off. Then the bad berries had to be thrown away. They washed the berries and made them air-dry. 

 After that, they pushed the blueberries through a strainer (过滤器). The strainer caught most of the seeds and skins, and only left a small glass of dark purple juice to them

 When they tasted the juice, it wasn't very sweet. Billy's uncle didn't want to add white sugar (糖) to the juice. It was better to use a naturally sweet juice, like apple juice, pear juice, or grape juice. They use grape juice as a sweetener, because grapes had a similar color to the blueberries. 

 Finally, they could drink it. It was a lot of work to make juice, but it sure was refreshing!
