In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cats ears were folded (折着的), bent (弯曲) forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold”.The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. They make it look very lovely. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.There is a nickname（昵称）for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger(信使）of Peace”. Why? Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different places, for example, at a noisy house or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.Well, when you come to a new school, do you think its difficult to feel comfortable in the new place? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold, which is always sweet and friendly to others.51.

He caught the turtle and began to shake it. But the turtle still stayed in its shell. The boy picked up a stick to try to pry it open. The boys uncle was watching all of this. “No, thats not the way,” he shouted. “In fact, you may kill the turtle before you make it open up with a stick.” The boys uncle took the turtle into the house and set it near the fireplace. The turtle didnt move at all until it got warm. Then it pushed out its head, stretched(伸展)out its legs and began to climb.“Turtles are like that,” said the uncle,“and people, too.”54.Why did the boy want to have the turtle? A.

Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.At this time, a deep voice said, “ if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “thats because a breeze can fly, but I cant.”“Thats because you cant give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across.” said the desert.“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.“The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.” said the desert. “And whether youre a river or vapor, your nature never changes.”Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.

To succeed, we should change the way we used to be.DAlmost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).” But sadly, many of us dont actually get the real meaning of these lines: Dont waste food.A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is much enough to feed 200 million people for a year.Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2020, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food.

Many people stood by her and criticized(批评) the waste of food.What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips: 1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home. 2. Dont be too picky(挑剔的) about food.
