Food is very important. Everyone needs to 1 well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our minds also need a kind of food. This kind of food is 2 . We begin to get knowledge even 3 we are very young. Small children are 4 in everything around them. They learn 5 while they are watching and listening.

　　When they are getting older, they begin to 6 story books, science books…, anything they like. When they find something new, they love to ask questions and 7 to find out answers.

　　What is the best 8 to get knowledge? If we learn by ourselves, we will get 9 knowledge. If we are 10 getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in the right way, we will learn more and understand better.

　　A day came when Mr Henry needed money and he took the bird to 2 to sell it. “Who 3 my parrot?” he cried, “Twenty pounds for my parrot!”

　　A man in the crowd(人群) heard him and was surprised that he was asking for so much money. 4 asking Mr Henry 5 he wanted so much, he decided to speak to the parrot.

　　“ 6 twenty pounds?” he asked. “There is no doubt about it!” the parrot answered.

　　The man Liked the bird's answer so much that he bought it and took it 7 . But very soon he learnt that the parrot would say 8 else. And he was sorry he had bought it. He stood 9 the parrot and said, “How foolish(愚蠢) I was to 10 so much money away!”

　　“There is no doubt about it!” the parrot cried.
