How much do you know about the bird world?

    Birds use three gaits: walking, running and hopping．

    In walking, the left and the right feet move in turn (轮流)．Each foot is on the ground for more than half the time, so there are more times when both feet are on the ground．In running, each foot is on the ground for less than half the time, and there are more times when both feet are off the ground．In hopping, the feet move almost at the same time．This means that for much of the time both feet are off the ground．

    Middle-sized and large birds walk at low speed and either run or hop at higher speed．Small birds, such as sparrows and swallows, usually do not walk, because walking may be too slow for them．It seems that the more time a bird spends in trees, the more likely it is to hop．Perhaps there is wide space in a tree between one thin branch (树枝) and the next, so walking is not a good choice, while on each small branch there is enough room to set both feet down side by side, so hopping seems to make sense．

My uncle has a big farm. There are many animals on the farm. They are cows, chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs and three dogs. The farm is far from the city. It's very nice and quiet. I love the beautiful countryside. I like to live there. But I have to go to school in the city. So on the weekend I often go there to help my uncle. I often help him feed cows, pigs and chickens. All the animals on the farm are friendly to me. The dogs like to run around me and I like to play with them. The ducks like to swim in the river. The pigs like to sleep. When they are hungry, they can eat a lot. When I grow up, I am going to have my own farm. I will live in the beautiful countryside with animals.

What makes smartphones fun and useful? There are many apps that you can use for work and play. Check out some of them here. 

Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game or when a friend borrows your favourite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry. 

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt. 

In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself. 

When you get angry, you can talk with other people about it. It's helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, like a parent or a teacher. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk with a good friend; count from 1 to 100; get a hug from someone; go for a bike ride; think about good things and so on. 

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make things better or worse. Choose a good way to deal with your anger, and don't let your anger control you.
