16、st happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.

18、 enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So

19、 he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not.

And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with_. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as

33、 coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swans. From that day on, the raven began to liv

34、e like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the

35、nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them.

Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in oth

40、er European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken fo

41、reign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Thats why many people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students arent required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In British schools

42、 its common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why dont students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think its more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve t

43、his situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age.

47、ollowing days of heavy haze(雾霾)that influenced most parts of China earlier this year polluted water is becoming another big worry among people on popular social InternetWebsites have called for cutting down water pollution in necessary ways. “We should not only protect water,but also pay attention t

48、o water pollution,”said Xue Manzi,a well-known investor(投资人)on Sina Weibo.“Dead pigs are found in rivers and waster is poured into rivers and underground.”said Xue.The Huangpu River provider 22 percent of Shanghais drinking water.But earlier this momth,thousands of dead pigs were found in it.This ma

49、de people scared and worried,although local government tried to showthat the water was safe.In February,some factories in Weifang in Shandong had put waste water underground,polluting the local drinking water.“Clean water and air are necessary for people to live. A responsible government will strict

50、ly protect the environment from being polluted,”said a microblogger.Isnt it time for us to have a better thinking about our living environment?Do we want to kill ourselves by serious pollution?

Not caring about the money, parents often send their childre

54、n to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensi

55、ve an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parent

56、s can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children are short of self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and ho

57、w to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will ne

58、ed later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully step by step. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots o

59、f self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激发) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use
