Some hunters were chasing a fox. The fox saw a woodcutter, and asked him for help."Please hide me, kind woodcutter," the fox said. The woodcutter told the fox to go into his house.

Soon the hunters came.They asked the woodcutter, "Did you see a fox?" The woodcutter said, "No," but pointed to his house. The hunters didn't know why the woodcutter pointed. They went away.

After a while, the fox came out of the house. The fox didn't say "Thank you." The woodcutter got angry at the fox."Why don't you say thank you?" he asked."I wanted to thank you,"the fox said."But I saw you signal to the hunters. Your words did not match your actions."

It was my wife’s idea to come here.She said, "You need a vacation. Leave it to me." So I did.She made all the reservations. It was a big surprise! Most people think that a vacation is about resting. You feel tired, so you sleep, you eat, you sit. You rest. I used to think that, too.I used to sit by the pool all day, and eat too much dinner every night.

The funny thing is, on a vacation like that, I didn't get less tired.At home, I sit at a desk all day. At night, I sit in front of the TV. Maybe I eat too much dinner. So what's the difference?The only difference is the place.

This vacation is different. Every day is different, and every day is active. When I was a kid, I used to go out to play. I didn't think about time.It's like that now. Now is enough!

But the city park has grass and trees. I go to the park with my mom and dad.My dad and I play catch in the park.My mom and I fly kites in the park.

I love how everything is close in the city. My mom walks me to school.We walk two blocks then go right. Sometimes Sasha walks with us. We walk past Mr.Abul's store. We walk past the bank. All our neighbors wave and say hi. On Saturdays my family likes to go to museums. Sometimes we walk to the art museum. I like the big paintings.

Once upon a time, the animals living on the ground and those flying in the sky fought against each other. However, a bat could not take part on either side because he was timid and had no courage.When the beasts seemed like winning, the bat went to them and said, "I would like to fight with you." They believed him.Yet, the bat began to worry, as the birds started to move ahead. So, the bat went to them and begged, "I am on your side because I am winged, too."

The fight between the birds and the beasts continued and the bat went back and forth to the winning side. Then one day, peace was made in the woods. All the animals determined to expel him. Turned away from both sides, the bat started to live in a dark cave.

"I slept in a tent and I studied bugs and plants. One afternoon, I went for a walk alone and saw the most beautiful bird! I followed it for a while until it suddenly disappeared. Oops! I thought. I was lost and it was getting dark. I tried to sleep under a tree next to a lake, but I couldn't. It was rainy and the animals made loud noises all night.""So, what happened?"Maya asked.

"Well, the next day I was really tired and hungry," he said. "It was foggy in the morning. When it cleared, I saw a bright rainbow and the same beautiful bird! It flew above my head and I decided to follow it again. I felt that it wanted to help me find my way. A little while later, I found my tent again."

How important is appearance? If your hair isn't right, do you feel unhappy all day?Of course, we all feel good when we look good，and sometimes we don't like the way we look. It starts early in life. When little girls dress up in their mothers’clothes, and look at themselves in the mirror, they are learning about style. If they feel good about themselves, they will become happier adults.This is nothing new.Some women really hate their appearance, and many boys and men worry about their body image, too.

A quarter of all boys aged from five to twelve said in a survey, that they would like to be more handsome. How do you feel about yourself? And how much does it matter?

They shook their heads."I'm not going to try," said a tall monkey."Me neither," said a short monkey.

"Are you sure?"asked the gibbon." It looks dangerous." Monkey laughed."I'm not afraid of anything! And when I come back, I will be king!" Monkey took a deep breath and leaped into the waterfall.

第十篇

Uncle Jason gives me a tour. Just like my house, the fire station has a kitchen, but this kitchen has three refrigerators! That's because firefighters work in twenty-four hour shifts, and each shift has its own refrigerator.Next stop on the tour is Uncle Jason's bedroom. It has a television, couch, and bed. After sleeping, he puts fresh sheets on the bed for the next firefighter.

Next, Uncle Jason shows me the day room. This is where the firefighters hang out after chores are done. I climb into one of the big chairs and watch television with the guys. Most of the time, though, they're busy helping people and making sure their equipment is ready.Next, we go to the most exciting part of the fire station-the garage. Two fire trucks are waiting, ready to handle any emergency.
