      It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big,slow circles. The whole ciaSvS hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.

      Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another,the kids watched the rope,ran in,and jumped.Then it was Millie's turn. She watched the rope go around and around,but she didn't move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.

      Millie's friends cheered. “Go,Millie,go!” 

      Millie's face turned red. At last,she gave it a try,but she failed.

      The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope,she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn't know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street,there was no one to help turn the long rope.

      Just then,Ms Miles,the gym teacher,brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.

      “Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing ,” she said as she gave each student a short rope ,“Ready,set. Go!”

      Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped,she sang rhymes quietly to herself.

      After a while,Millie realized that everyone was cheering ,“Go,Millie,go!”

      She was the only one still jumping rope!The surprise almost made her miss a step,but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on,she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!

       Dolphins (海脉) are not fish. They are mammals (哺乳动物) . They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they aren’t the same as almost all land animals. Their brains are as big as men's and they live a long life— at least 20 or 30 years.

       Like some animals,dolphins use some sounds to help them find their ways around. They aLso use sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They don't use their ears to receive sounds,but use the jaws (下额) .

       It's strange that dolphins are friendly to men,and for thousands of years,there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century,in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand,there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name,Jack. From 1871 to 1903,Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903,a passenger on a boat with the name of “The Penguin” shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn't die,and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years,but he refused to help the boat “The Penguin”.

       Today,some people still kill dolphins,but more people in the world protect them.

() 21. Dolphins are not only fish but also mammals.

() 23. Jack is a name of a seaman.

() 24. At last,Jack didn't help the ship “The Penguin” any more.

      A lot of earthquakes happen in the world every year. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates (板块) . The plates move very slowly. Sometimes they stop and don't move for a long time. When some of the earth's plates move suddenly,an earthquake happens.

      Many earthquakes happen under the sea. Sometimes they happen near mountains. In fact,earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth.

      During an earthquake,the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even break open. Houses fall. People are killed or hurt. Sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyed.

      Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show “earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts,it's possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes.

      In the future,scientists will be able to predict (预言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can tell us what to do and how to do it as well.

      Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It's always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea,and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.

      About two thousand years ago,the first people went to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to HawaⅡ. So lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However,the scenery (自然景色) in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time,taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night,they get together to hold parties,chatting and dancing. So if you’re thinking about relaxing yourself,Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose.
