    After thinking a lot, he said to the lion, "I will be 5 to marry my daughter to you, but she is very afraid of your teeth and claws. If you let me take 6 all out, you can marry her. I am sure my daughter will then make a good 7."

    "No problem!" The lion said. He could  8 think of how much he loved the girl and wanted her to be his wife. So he let the father take out all his teeth and claws. As soon as the lion was toothless and clawless, the father began hitting him 9 a heavy stick. The lion could not defend himself 10 he had no teeth, or claws. Finally, he ran away. He was also unable to kill animals for food. So he soon died.

You can see many different kinds of food with different colors in life. Doctors and your parents always ask you to eat lots of green vegetables, because they are healthy for you. It's also good for you to have food of other colors. For example, you can have red food like tomatoes, yellow food like bananas and orange food like carrots. 

But what about blue food? 

A food company (公司) did a test. It put the color blue to its candies. Children like the color blue a lot, so would they like the blue candies? The test found that children didn't like them at all. They still liked red, green, brown, yellow and orange candies. 

How many blue fruits, or vegetables do you know? You can see little blue food in your life. People may think blue is not a food color and it's not safe or healthy to eat the food that is blue. This is why people don't often use blue for drinks, cakes and other food. 

Rick, a school boy, had a love for playing video games. Every day, his1 reminded him to take some exercise instead of playing video games. However, he didn't always 2 . 

Once again, Rick's mom told him seriously that his eyesight (视力) might get poor if he spent too much time on video games. It was a pity that he still didn't listen 3 . He kept playing. One day, during a math class, Rick's teacher got upset when he couldn't give an answer to a question like "2+2=?". After class, the teacher asked him why he couldn't solve such a 4 problem. Rick said that he knew the answer 5 couldn't see the board clearly. His teacher was worried and 6 his parents. 

Realizing what had happened, Rick's mom warned him again that it was harmful to his 7 to play video games too much. And Rick's dad took him to an eye doctor for a check-up. The 8 showed that his eyesight had weakened. After asking about his habit of using eyes, the doctor advised Rick to take action to protect his eyes. 

From that day on, Rick decided to 9 playing video games and take some exercise every day. Later Rick fell in love with sports and 10 his school soccer team. Now he has become stronger and healthier. His eyesight has also got better.
