Two hunters rented(租用) a small plane to fly them to a forest. They told the pilot to come back and pick them up in about two weeks. By the end of the two weeks， they had hunted a lot of animals and they wanted to put all of them onto the plane.

    But the pilot said， “This plane can only take one lamb. You'll have to leave the others behind.”

    Then one hunter said， “But last year， another pilot with the same plane let us take two lambs and some other animals onto the plane.”

    So the new pilot thought about it. Finally he said， “OK， since you did it last year， I think this year we can do it again.” Then they put all the animals they had hunted onto the plane， and the plane took off. Five minutes later， it crashed.

    The three men looked around， and one hunter asked the other one， “Where do you think we are now?”

     The other hunter looked around and said， “I think we're about one mile away from the place where the plane crashed last year.”

    Life of Pi（少年派的奇幻河流）is to become the first 3D film to open the New York film festival. This year's New York film festival runs from September 28 to October 14.

    The director of this movie is Ang Lee, an American Chinese. The movie speaks of the relationship between humans and nature. Indian boy Priscine Patel is troubled by his first name. And his classmates laugh at him. So he decides to change his name to "Pi".

    Pi's father has a zoo and he decides to move to Canada. The family, together with all the zoo animals, sail across the pacific（太平洋）. One day, a huge storm hits the ship. The next morning, Pi finds his family have sunk（沉没）with the ship. He is the only person still alive. He finds himself on a lifeboat with several animals, one of which is a tiger called Richard Parker. Soon, all the animals are killed by the tiger. And Pi is left alone with the tiger.

    As the tiger becomes hungry, Pi starts to fish to feed him. If not, he himself will become the food. The boy and the tiger develop an amazing relationship on the sea. Although he feels hopeless, Pi never gives up. After 227 days, the lifeboat finally lands on a beach in Mexico, but Richard Parker runs away into the forest. The ship company finds Pi and asks him what happened. Pi tells them about Richard Parker, but the company doesn't believe him. Pi then tells another story in which is no tiger.

    Is there really another story? If so, which one is true? Maybe you will have your answer after watching the Life of Pi.

    Look! This is a picture of my teacher's family. This is Mr. Smith. He is my English teacher.

    His wife is a doctor. She is nice. They have a son and a daughter. The boy's name is Sam and the girl's name is Kate. They are students. They are in the same school. They go to school on their bikes.

    Look! The son is like his mother. The daughter is like her father. Now they are all in China and can speak Chinese. They love China.

    On a farm lived a father and a son. The father always got up early and read books by the stove. One morning, the son came up to him and said, "Dad, I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading?"

    The father didn't reply to his question at once. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said, "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I'll tell you the answer."

    The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked (漏掉) from the basket.

    An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold water with the basket. The father said with a smile, "Yes, you are right, my son. The basket can't hold water. But did you notice the basket was different? "The son found the dirty basket had become clean. The father continued, "Reading is like holding water with the basket. Although we can't remember all we read, we have changed while reading."

I still remember it was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My father 1 his two little boys to play miniature golf (迷你高尔夫). He walked up to the person at the ticket counter(售票柜台) and said, "How much is it to get2 ?"

 The young man said, "$3 for 3 and $3 for any kid older than 6. We let them in 4 if they are 6 or younger. 5 are they?" "The younger one is 3 and the older one is 7. " My father answered. The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just 6 the lottery(彩票) or something? You could 7 yourself three dollars. You could 8 me that the older one was 6;I wouldn't know the 9 . " My father said, "Yes, that might be true, 10 the kids would know the difference. " He was 11 . I did learn the difference. My father paid the 12 price for my ticket-as well as taught me an important 13 . 

 As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't 14 what you' re saying. " In times when ethics(道德) are more 15 than ever, make sure you set a good example for everyone around you.
