Greenland andIcelandGreenland is the largest island on earth. It is in the northof Europe. NearGreenland is another island. It is small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is greenandwarm? Do you think that Iceland is whitewith ice? If you do, you are wrong. Not many people live on the big island of Greenland. There are more people in yourhometown thanin all of Greenland. That is because Greenland is not green. Greenland is white. Mostof Greenland is covered with lots of ice. The ice covering Greenland is higher than some of the worldsbuildings. What about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it is not. Iceland has ice, butnot so much ice as Greenland. Iceland has a lot of hot springs (温泉). They giveout hot water and steam(蒸汽). So it isnot as cold as Greenland.

Weretelling lies, and the one who tells the biggest lie will keep the cat.”The old gentleman thought this was a good chance to teach the boys a useful lesson, so he said to them, “Ive never told a lie in my life.” At once there was a great shoutfrom all the boys, and they said, “Youvewon!The cat belongsto you!”13. 说谎比赛某个老绅士对现代教育颇为不满，他认为年轻人不知道是非之间的差异。有一天，他在教堂附近散步时，看到一些小男孩围着一只小猫。这位老绅士凑上前去问孩子们发生什么事了。有个男孩告诉他：“我们正在进行一场竞赛。我们在比赛说谎，谁说的谎最大，这只猫就是谁的。”老绅士觉得这是教育孩子们的一个好机会。于是他就对孩子们说：“我这辈子从未说过谎话。”立刻所有孩子异口同声地大喊：“你赢了！这只猫属于你了!”14. Sports in AmericaIn many parts of the world, there are four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. There are only three in America: football, basketball and baseball. If you want to know what season it is, just have a look at what people are playing. Sports are an important part of American culture. Students learn to play many sports at school. They take PE classes. Some join the school teams, and others join school sports leagues. For many people in the USA, sports are not just for fun. Theyre almost a religion.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “ I am no longer a kid. I do not play around trees any more. ” The boy replied, “ I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I dont have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didnt come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad. One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me.” The tree said, “I dont have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house. Can you help me? ” “ Sorry, but I dont have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him full of joy, but the boy didnt appear since then.
