    Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels shone on top of the minor's silver frame. The other carried wooden care with a chicken inside it.

    "Only one reward can be yours," the queen said" Choose wisely"" That's easy.” Peter said.” I will take the chicken.” Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.

    “And why did you choose the chicken? The queen asked.” Well, I don't know much about jewels," Peter answered.” But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”

    Queen Olivia smiled.” Then you did make a wise choice." she said.“ That mirror may look fancy. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable." Peter took the chicken and bowed." Thank you, your majesty“

“You are a smart child, ”the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family would eat well for the rest of their lives—all because   ⑹     !

A big earthquake happened in Japan in March, and it caused tsunami(海啸).Thousands of people died and millions of Japanese lost their homes.
Do you know there is an earthquake every thirty seconds in the world? But don I worry because most of them arc so small that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people. Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Arc you ready for the next earthquake? We havesome advice for you on how to keep safe in an earthquake.
When the earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important becausewhere there is a life, there is hope. Don't go back to get your money or other things.
If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anythingmay fall on you.
If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't run outside. Everyone will run outside so that people may hurt each other. Hide under a desk. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake.
If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quickly as possible, and stay in the car. Do not try to drive across bridges. It's dangerous.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. They are just as dangerous as the earthquakes, so stay under the desk until you think it is really safe for getting out.
Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
Remember, these tips are very important. We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

    Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign "NO CHILDREN." "Why can't we bring our children?" "What on earth does the owner want to do?" The parents were surprised and complained angrily.

    So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?

    Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban(禁止)children from his restaurant.

    Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.

    In fact, many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There's one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. They rewarded(奖励) well-behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.

    These methods may be useful for a while, but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.

Answer the questions. (根据短文内容,回答下列问题。)

    Every month, junior high schools in China choose one hero of the month. This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.

Dear Mr President.

    I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really terrible. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more.

    I know that there are nearly 2, 000 nature reserves in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last month to sec for ourselves.

    I feel so sorry for the giant panda. It's one of the most popular animals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours!That's a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct(灭绝)forever.

    The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator(场子努). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isn't clean enough for them to live in. It's really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers.

    If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more foreigners may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities.

    I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.

Sincerely yours,

Huang Jing
