Once upon a time, some children were playing at seaside when they found a turtle(海龟)．They began to beat the turtle．Just at that time, a young man came and said to them,“Stop!”The children ran 1 quickly．The turtle was very thankful and said,“thanks for your kindness．I really would like 2 you to a wonderful palace now．”
The young man rode on the back of the turtle and was taken to the secret palace in the sea．When he 3 the palace, he was very surprised and said to the turtle,“What a nice palace!”To thank him, the king of the turtles gave him 4 ．He had never seen such a dinner before．He received a warm welcome there and was very 5 everything．
After dinner, the king of the turtles said,“I am going to give you two boxes, 6 you can open only one．”“You mustn't open both．Don't forget it!”the turtle warned him．“All right．I will open only one,”the young man promised(许诺)．At this time, a large wave sent him out of the sea．
After he 7 , he opened the bigger one of the two boxes． 8 the box was full of gold．“My God!”he cried．“I'm 9 now．”Then he thought,“Things in the other box must be expensive, too．”He could not wait any longer．He broke his promise and opened the other box．As soon as he opened it, he became an old man．His hair turned white．His face 10 an old man over eighty years old．It all happened in a moment．He was sorry for what he did, but it was too late．
Early one morning, a crow was sitting 1 a tall tree．She was holding 2 in her mouth．She 3 it would be a nice breakfast for her baby．
An old fox was 4 some food．He 5 the crow with the meat．He 6 wanted to eat the meat 7 ．He thought very hard about 8 he could take it 9 the crow．
The fox made a plan．He could not climb the tree so he would have to make the crow 10 the meat．He 11 the crow very politely, and asked how she was and how her baby was．
The fox then told the crow that 12 had a beautiful voice and that he would like to hear her 13 ．The crow was happy and thought that the fox was very kind．So she decided to sing a song for him．She opened her mouth and the 14 plan worked．The meat 15 into his mouth．

Norman(not his real name)also aged 14
Yes, I get 1 allowance every month．It's fair, but 2 less than I would like．And my parents won't give me 3 ．They say I have to learn to 4 my money and live 5 a budget．I'll have to do that when I become 6 ．If they want me to do something, they tell me．They don't ask me．Sometimes I argue 7 them, hut usually I lose．They say,‘We are your parents．Until you're old enough, we'll 8 that we think are best for you．’
With regard to 9 , I've got to help for about an hour every day．I've got to wash dishes and clothes, clean the floors and toilet and sometimes cook．My parents say I'll have to run my own home some day, so it's 10 to learn how to do it now．They'd never dream of paying me for doing housework．It's the responsibility of the whole family, isn't it?
My parents give me presents 11 , usually things that I can use．For example, when they saw that I was 12 about learning tennis, they bought me a good racket．And they only buy me simple clothes that can last a long time．They often say‘No’when I ask for things．But if I can pay for something with money that I've earned myself, that's different．They say it's bad to expect things for 13 ．It won't be like that when I grow up．
We have one TV for the 14 family, and I watch it for about seven hours a week．My father believes that when you're watching TV, you're not thinking, so your 15 doesn't develop．When I say that he watches more than I do, he says his mind has already developed．

We sometimes call the lion“the king of the jungle(丛林)”because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals．It can 1 faster than many animals and it can hunt(捕猎)the beast．It is the highest animal in the 2 food chain(食物链)．
In the sea, the shark is one of the animals at the 3 of the food chain．It can swim faster than 4 other sea animals, and it can use its big teeth to eat them．
What is at the top of the world's food chain? 5 are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the 6 ．We could not run faster than cheetahs(猎豹), so we 7 cars and now we can move the fastest．We could not 8 better than lions, so we invented guns(枪)．Now we can hunt the beast．
People's inventions are clever, but they can be 9 , too．For example, people invented 10 , and now they make the air and rivers dirty．This can make 11 changes．Dirty rivers kill fish． 12 bears cannot eat the fish and the bears die．If we kill one part of the food chain, 13 also die．Remember that we are a part of the food chain, 14 we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting 15 !We should and we could do something for the world!

Dear Kitty,
I've been in New Zealand for over two weeks．Now, I'm studying in New Plymouth．I'd like to tell you something about my daily life here．
I have much to do every day, so I am quite 1 ．I always get up at seven in the morning． 2 having breakfast together with my home-stay family, I 3 to school．It takes me about 20 minutes to get to school on foot．It's 4 now, but it is not very cold, just like early spring in Shanghai．
We have lessons in the morning．At noon, we have lunch together．Each of us brings 5 from our home-stay family．
After lunch, we usually take a walk along the streets for about half an hour．The shops here are quite different from those in Shanghai．I have bought some wonderful post cards, and one of them is 6 the way to you．
In the afternoon, we study by ourselves at school．At about four, I go home．If it rains, my home-stay father will come to 7 me up in his car．I have 8 together with my home-stay family．That's the best time of the day．We talk about what we can 9 and enjoy every minute of it while eating．
Well, I am having a good time here．How are things going with you? I am 10 hearing from you．
