In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat's ears were folded, bent forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the "Scottish Fold(苏格兰折耳猫)".
The Scottish Fold has a round head and large eyes. Its neck and legs are short, which makes it look very cute. 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.
Besides, there is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the " Messenger 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 environments, such as 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 it's difficult to adapt to the new environment? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold. That is: always be sweet and friendly to others.

We can not live a modern life without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a plane one can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

   Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but one can see the country he is traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dinning-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.

   Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large luxury liners(客轮) or river boats. They are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

   Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel hundreds of miles a day, just as their wish. They can stop wherever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel. That is why people choose traveling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business.
