“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall have a prize.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. The frightened horse had run past him as he worked in the field that morning. He would have helped it whether it belonged to the queen or not. But he had to admit that getting a prize was nice. Two of the queen’s pages ( 侍从 ) appeared. One carried a small pillow with a mirror sitting on top. Red jewels shining on the top of the mirror’s silver frame ( 镜框 ) . The other page carried a wooden cage with a clucking （咯咯叫）chicken inside it.

“Only one prize can be yours,” The queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the people in the court laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.

“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don't know much about jewels and things,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs family for a long while.”

Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken. Then he said. “Thank you.”

“You are a smart child,” the queen said. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like a job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you!” he said. A job for the queen paid well. Now his family would eat well for the rest of their lives——all because he had chosen a chicken!

Are you nearsighted(近视）? Do you wear glasses? Many of you may say "yes". In fact, according to a report from the World Health Organization, China has the biggest population of nearsighted young people. More than 70％of middle school students in China are nearsighted.

In August, a plan to solve this problem was introduced. It aims to cut down the rate（率）of nearsightedness for middle school students to less than 60% by 2030. Schools across the country are taking action to meet this goal.

Luoyang Experimental School in Henan started with its desks. It has made desks with a board above the desktop. The board stops students from lowering their heads too close to their desktops. More than 400 students have used them so far. More students will use them soon. Similarly, the High School Affiliated to Remain University Chaoyang Branch School is now providing desks and chairs according to students' heights. Studies have shown that proper desk height can stop nearsightedness.

Spending more time outside can also reduce nearsightedness. Chengdu No. 7 High School makes sure that its students play outside for at least 80 minutes every day. "We have a PE class and a 20-minute break in the morning and afternoon to do exercises.”said Sun Zihan,l4.

Staring(凝视）at screens can also hurt our eyes. Beijing 101 Middle School has a solution to this problem. In its classrooms, there are special boxes for storing students' cell phones. "We have to hand in our cell phones every morning and get them back after school," said Huang Jiameng,15.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

The BBC recently reported a great rise in British English in the US. Words like “cheers”, meaning “thank you”, and “mate”, meaning “friend”, are becoming popular. No one knows h1. this has happened, although the success of British films like Harry Potter may have something to do with it.

British English and American English are a little different. The two are the same in grammar but different in the way they pronounce and spell some words. Americans pronounce words like car, better and sweater with an /er/ at the e2.. The British way of spelling “color” is “colour” and they write “favorite” a 3. “favourite”.

English is the most spoken language in the world because of the British Empire. Its colonies（殖民地） o4. covered 25% of the planet. In some parts of the US, people really like the British accent（口音）. The British actor Hugh Grant, with his British accent was very s5. in Hollywood. His accent is very popular, and Americans often think British accents s6. very elegant（ 优 雅 的 ）. Maybe this has something to do with the Queen.

Don’t w7. about the difference between British and American English. When you have exams, it is fine to use the English that you learned from your textbooks. The differences are not so important.
