Most of my sweet memories are from my childhood.There are always so many interesting things in the far away village where I grew up.One thing that leaves a deep impression on me is shearing the sheep.

In my village,sheep are washed and sheared (剪毛) sometime in the month of June.This should be done quite early in the month,before the hot days begin.

It's best for the sheep to have the wool taken off,or they will be too hot in the summer time.

When the time comes for washing the sheep,they are driven to a pond or a little river.

Then they are thrown into the water,one at a time.The men who are in the water catch them,and wash them to get the dirt all out of the wool.

When the wool is dry,the sheep are taken to the shearer; and he cuts off the wool with a large pair of shears.

In a short time,before the cold winter comes,new wool grows out on the sheep.By the coming of spring,there is so much that it must be cut off soon.

【题目】

You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!

The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives.

So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.
