    Mr Jones, the owner of a farm, was one day driven out of the farm by all the animals he kept.The animals were excited to be masters of their farm.Animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.

    ⒈Whatever walks on two legs is an enemy;

    ⒉Whatever walks on four legs, or has wings, is a friend;

    ⒊No animal shall wear clothes;

    ⒋No animal shall sleep in bed;

    ⒌No animal shall drink alcohol(酒);

    ⒍No animal shall kill any other animal;

    ⒎All animals are equal.

    They were nicely written, except that "friend" was written "friend".Snowball read them out, and all the animals agreed.

    "Now, let's go to the field.Let's get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do."

    But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time, shouted because they hadn't been milked for 24 hours.Then the pigs began to help milk the cows successfully.Soon there were five buckets (桶) of creamy milk at which many animals

    looked with great interest."What's going to happen to all the milk?" asked one animal."Jones used to mix some of it in our food," said one of the hens."Never mind the milk," cried Napoleon, standing in front of the buckets, "the harvest is more important.Mr Snowball will lead the way, and I'll follow in a few minutes."

    So the animals ran down to the field to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening, it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.

Brenda showed great interest in music at a very young age. She had a big dream—to play the 1 in a band. But a big problem lay 2 her way: To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next door to a lot of old people— many of them liked living in a 3 environment. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really drive them mad.

Brenda was a very good and thoughtful girl. She always tried to find a way of practicing her drums without troubling other people, 4 she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen and even in a bathroom. But it was no good. There was always someone to be angry with her when she was practicing it.5 , Brenda decided to practice as much as she could. She spent most of her time playing on books and boxes and 6 new places to practice.

One day, while watching a science program on TV, she heard that 7 cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda decided to become a musical astronaut.

With a lot of efforts, Brenda built a space bubble. It was a big glass ball which was 8 to a machine and the machine helped draw out all the air inside. All that would be left inside were the drums and a chair. Brenda put on the space suit she had made, 9 the bubble, turned on the machine and then played the drums like a wild child!

It wasn't long before Brenda —"The Musical Astronaut"— became very 10 . So many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame (名声) spread so 11 that the government suggested that she should form part of a special space journey. Brenda was a real musical 12 in the end. She had gone far beyond(超过) her first 13 of playing the drums in a band.

Years later, when people asked her how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment and said,"If those old people next door didn't 14 so much to me, I wouldn't do so much to find a solution (解决方法) to the drum noise. In that way,15 of these would ever happen."

Being thoughtful to others may bring you unexpected advantages.
