　　I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened．Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank．There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle．Her calf was floating and screaming with fear．Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body．Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away．There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone．Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻)against the rocky bank．Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock．

　　Just at this moment, she felt back into the river．If she were carried down, it would be certain death．I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点)where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf．While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love．Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫)all the time, but to her calf it was music．

　　In April 2004 local farmer Ma Yun was taking a walk on a hillside near Lingwu, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region when he saw several “brown stones”．Two years later scientists have found that these “stones” are, in fact, the priceless fossils of eight giant dinosaurs．They are thought to be the largest ever found in Asia．

　　We know that these animals walked the earth in the Jurassic period, around 160 million years ago．According to scientists, these plant-eating dinosaurs weighed 100 tons and had before only been found in Africa and South America．How did one end up on a Chinese hillside? The answer lies in continental drift, says Professor Xu Xing, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences．

　　According to this theory, the earth began as a solid mass of land．Pieces of the land went their separate ways over the course of the following millions of years．That’s why the discovery of these dinosaurs today is far away from their original home．

　　A complete dinosaur fossil has also been unearthed in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region．

　　The digging is being televised nationwide by China Central Television．It is the first time a dinosaur fossil excavation has been shown live in China．

　　How is a fossil formed?

　　①The dinosaur died．The flesh rotted and left hard parts like the bones and teeth．

　　②The body was quickly covered by sand and mud．

　　③After a long time, water put minerals into the bones and replaced the chemicals in the bones with rock-like minerals．

　　④This process left a rock-like copy of the original animal-a fossil．

　　Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants to enjoy some music．As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu．com to download music files．But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright appears on the screen．The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused(指控)of pirating copyright．Lawsuits(诉讼)have been filed against four websites offering free downloads．In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push for their losses．Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website．This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing．

　　“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying．Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,”said an official．

　　Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, and 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong．She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends．When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about getting others’ work without paying．

　　However, others have different ideas．Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province, pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers．“If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,”she said．“So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is their music, rather than file-sharers．”
