Long long ago, the colours of the world started to quarrel. Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. Without me, all animals would die.” Blue said, “You only think about the earth instead of considering the sky and the sea. Without my peace, you would be nothing.” Yellow laughed, “You are all so serious. I bring fun and warmth into the world.” Orange shouted, “I am the colour of health and strength. I am the most important because I serve the needs of people’s life.” Red shouted out, “I am the most important of all. I am the colour of danger, bravery and love. I am glad to fight for truth.” Then Purple and Indigo came…

The colours went on quarreling, each saying he or she was the most important. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly it thundered and rained hard. The colours felt so frightened that they stopped quarreling and got together for comfort(安慰).

At this time, rain began to speak, “You foolish colours, quarreling among yourselves, each trying to be the most important. You don’t know that you each were made for a special purpose. Join hands with each other and come to me.”

Doing as they were told, the colours united(团结)and joined hands. They formed a colourful rainbow. From then on, when a good rain washes the world, a rainbow appears in the sky. They remember to appreciate(欣赏)each other.

We know the mosquito(蚊子)very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. We can find them all over the world,and there are more than 2 , 500 kinds of them.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes,she. It's true that male mosquito doesn't bite(咬)and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood(血)to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds,she bites. But if she doesn't like your blood,she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you,just remember she chooses you. You're different from the others!

If the mosquito likes you,she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. She flies away before the itching begins.

And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There,on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs,hundreds of eggs.
