One evening two young men were walking in the street together. They tried to find a chance to steal something. The clock struck twelve. Most of people went to bed. Quietly they came to a house. There were no lights in the house and it seemed that everyone in the house had fallen asleep. Standing at the front door gate, one said in English in a low voice, “You wait here. I’ll go round to the back door and then get into the house…” Suddenly out of the house ran a dog, barking at them. The two men were very frightened and ran away as fast as they could. They dare not stop until they got into a lonely place. The man said: “It’s too bad. I hadn’t expected that the dog could understand English.”

One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains．Because

nobody likes the idea of getting lost，I always prepare before every

trip．But what’s the best navigation tool，a Global Positioning Sys-

tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?

  Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail

(路线)I marked．One team of three carried a GPS，and the other[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]

team used a map and compass．

    It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the

whole hike，however，it took the map and compass team only 2

hours and 49 minutes．The biggest problem the GPS team met was

that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places．With

no map or compass，they had to walk around until they were in a

place where the signal was good．The map and compass team was

able to spot different landmarks，compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction．

    When I head out on my future hikes，I'm bringing a map，a compass and a GPS to show me the way．

(    ) 1.The two teams____．

    A．had the same navigation tool  B．went along the same trail    C．had the same problem

(    ) 2.The GPS team spent ____ time than the map and compass team in the whole hike．

    A．1ess    B．more    C．the same

(    ) 3.In the end，the writer found out____．

    A．the map and compass were too old navigation tools to use any more

    B．it wasn’t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS

C．the GPS had some disadvantages in hiking in mountains

Once there were two crows (乌鸦)whose opinions(观点) were always opposite.

One day, one of the crows said to the other, “ You should realize, of course, that I can fly much higher than you.”

“ Don’t be ridiculous (荒谬的).” the other crow said. “ Everyone knows that I can fly much higher than you.”

“No, you can’t” the first crow said.

“Yes, I can” the second crow replied, and the argument went on and on.

At last they decided to have a contest to solve the argument.

“ We will compete to find out who can fly higher while carrying a bag” the first crow said.

They argued for some time because of the size of the bag, but at last came to an agreement.

Then there was a further argument about what each bag would be filled with. Finally, they agreed that the first crow would fill his bag with cotton and the second crow would fill his with salt.

The first crow thought he was clever to agree to this, because salt is much heavier than cotton. At last they were ready for the contest. Holding their bag in their mouths, they flew into the sky.

They had not been flying for long. However, when it began to rain- as the second crow had expected it would. Can you guess who could fly higher?
