Jim's Family Rules

    Jim is a good student at school. He never breaks the school rules(违反校规). All of his teachers like him a lot. But he is not a good boy at home. He doesn't clean his room. He puts his books here and there. He goes to bed very late and reads books in bed, so Jim's mother makes some family rules for him.

    Family rules：You should keep your room clean. You should eat healthy food. You should go to bed early. Don't read books in bed. Don't watch TV till late at night. Don't put your books here and there.

    Some animals collect their winter food in the autumn. In the winter, they just stay at home and eat the food they collect in the autumn. For example, squirrels collect seeds and nuts, and beavers collect sticks.

    Many birds cannot find food in the winter, so they fly from the north to the south in the autumn. They fly back the next spring. For example, swans and wild geese fly away in the autumn, because they can find food in the warm south.

    Some animals sleep for a long time in the winter. They eat a lot of food in the autumn. In the winter, they do not eat anything. They are hungry when they wake up in the spring. They usually look for food in March or April. Bears, snakes and frogs are such animals.

    Winter is cold in many countries, but these smart animals can spend it safely.
