One day a red rose blossomed(开花)in a forest. A pine tree not far away said, "You're so beautiful. I wish I could be lovely like you ." The rose said, "I am the most beautiful plant in the forest."Then the rose looked at a cactus(仙人掌)and said, "Look at that ugly plant. It is full of thoms(刺)! " Sometimes, the red rose would look at the cactus and say, "This plant is useless. I'm sorry I am his neighbor."

Summer came and the plants and animals needed water, but no rain fell. One day the rose saw some birds stick their beaks(鸟喙)into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked what the birds were doing The pine tree explained that the birds got water from the cactus. The pine tree told the red rose, "You can also drink from it .The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help."

The red rose felt ashamed, but she still asked the cactus for help. The cactus agreed kindly and the birds filled their beaks with water for the rose's roots, Later on, the rose never judged(判断)anyone by appearance(外表)

Learn outside the classroom

Every morning in the past week, 18-year-old Shao Menglu has got up at 6.30 am and dressed in a uniform. By 7 am she has been serving the first customer at a mini supermarket in her school.

The Ningbo No.7 High School students work at the supermarket, which is run by students. The supermarket is a project to help students learn how to operate a real business and prepare them for the future work, according to Chen Ping, the teacher in charge of(负责)the programme.

None of the students work full time, as they have classes. Each class has a chance to run the supermarket for a week every term. The students are trained before they start. Shao was trained to operate a cash register(收银机)and count the correct change.

Although the job kept her busy, as she had to concentrate on(集中)not making any mistakes, Shao enjoyed her week, “I had to stand at the counter for up to six hours a day. I checked the bills, gave the things and said ‘Welcome back!’ with a smile,” Shao said, “But the busy life made me feel happy every day. The job also made me feel like an adult and therefore more responsible.”

“Working at the supermarket is a good complement(补充)to classroom learning.” said Zhu Yongjie, 17, who once worked at the supermarket.

Have you seen this photo yet? This is the first— ever image of a black hole. On April 10, people around the world got their first look at a real black hole. Scientists say it is a landmark(里程碑) in the history of science.

The image shows a black hole with a bright ring around it. The black hole lies in a galaxy(星系) named Messier 87 which is about 55 million light— years from earth. Scientists say that the image proves that black holes are real. It also supports Einstein’s theory of general relativity(广义相对论).

The image is fuzzy ( 模糊的). Scientists said it might be possible to make the image sharper by using algorithms(计算机算法). They are also working on taking pictures of other black holes.

More than 200 astronomers helped to capture ( 捕 捉 ) the image, including 16 from we Chinese mainland.
