The lion and the mouseA small mouse climbed up to a sleeping lion. The lion awoke and quickly caught the mouse. Please, said the mouse, let me go and Ill come back and help you someday. The lion laughed, You are so small! How could you ever help me? The lion laughed so hard he had to hold his belly! The mouse jumped to freedom and ran until she was far, far away. The next day, two hunters came to the jungle. When the lion came home that night, he stepped into the trap. The mouse heard the lions roar and came back to help him. She began nibbling and nibbling, eating and eating, biting and biting until the rope broke. The lion turned to the mouse and said, I am free. Dear friend, I was bad to laugh at you for being small. You helped me by saving my life after all! Thank you. Thank you so much. And the two became the best of best friends forever. 狮子和老鼠一只小老鼠爬到了熟睡的狮子身上。狮子醒了，迅速地抓住了老鼠。老鼠说：“求你了，放我走吧，总有一天我会来帮助你的。”狮子笑着道：“你这么小，你怎么能帮我呢？”狮子捧腹大笑（放开了手）。老鼠逃走了，跑得很远很远。第二天，两个猎人来到了丛林了。晚上狮子回家时，被猎人的陷阱困住了。老鼠听到了狮子的咆哮声，跑来帮助狮子。她不断地啃咬，终于把绳子咬断了。狮子对老鼠说：“我自由了。亲爱的朋友，我不应该嘲笑你的渺小。你拯救了我的生命，谢谢你。”最后，老鼠和狮子变成了永远的好朋友。 A wolf and his shadow.Whenitwasgettingdark,awolfwaswalkingalongtheroad.

I am a baby elephant. I am still young, but I started walking when I was only three days old. I like to eat all kinds of plants. I like to eat fruit and branches, too. But I do not eat meat. Do you see how I eat? I use my long trunk to pick up food. I use my trunk to spray water on my body. See how I take a bath using my trunk! “Splash!”Oh! It is so hot today. I can use my large ears to cool off my body. “Ah!” I can flap my large ears to chase the flies away. “Shoo!” See, I can do many fun things with my ears and my trunk! But, there is one thing I want to do, but I cannot.Jump! I am the only animal that cannot jump. But thats OK. I can walk faster than people, anyway! But, there is one more thing I want. Do you see my dad? Look at his tusks!I wish I could have huge tusks like my dad, right now. He looks wonderful, doesnt he? But, I have to wait. Dad says that someday, I will have huge tusks, too. Then, I will look just like him!小象你好！我是一只小象，我还很小，但在我出生三天的时候我已经开始走路了。我喜欢吃各种植物，我也喜欢吃水果和树枝，但是我不吃肉。看到我怎么吃东西了吗？我用长鼻子撩起食物，用鼻子往身上喷水，看我怎么用鼻子来洗澡。今天真热啊！我能用我的大耳朵来扇风，用耳朵赶走苍蝇。看，我能用鼻子和耳朵做许多有意思的事情。但是，还有一件事是我想做却做不到的。那就是跳跃。我是唯一一种不会跳的动物，但是没关系，不管怎样我还能比人类走得快。我还想要一样东西，看到我爸爸了吗？就是像他一样的大獠牙。我希望自己马上就能拥有爸爸一样的大獠牙，看上去很棒，不是吗？但是我必须等，爸爸说有一天我也会有像他一样的獠牙。这样我看上去就像他了。The Monkeys justiceOne day two cats were walking along the street. On the way, they found a big piece of cake at the same time. One of them jumped at it and picked it up. At once the other tried to take it by force. The first cat said: “Give it up! Thats mine.” “I found it first.” Then the other one said, “No way!” “Dont make me laugh!” “Its mine.” “I picked it up first.” “Its I who picked it up first.” They were fighting and fighting. They couldnt get the any solution. At that time, a monkey was passing by. The cats asked him to judge and solve their quarrel. The monkey said, “Ok, Ill divide the cake into equal two parts.” “And give one part each of you.” The monkey took the cake and spilt it into two parts. Then he shook his head and said, “These arent equal.” “One is bigger than the other one.” He ate a bit of the bigger one. “Oh, dear. These arent still equal.” Saying that, he ate a bit of the bigger one again. And this way, he went on eating from part to part. Finally, those cakes became very small. Then the monkey said to the cats. “How can I give you these very small pieces?” “I would rather eat them all myself.” After saying that, the monkey ate them all and went way.“公正”的猴子一天，两只猫走在路上，他们 同时看见了一块大蛋糕。其中一只赶紧跳过去拿起来，同时另一只试图把蛋糕抢回来。第一只猫说：“放弃吧！这是我的。”另一只说：“我先找到的。”一只又说：“没门！”“别搞笑了！”“是我的。”“我先捡到的。”“我先捡的。”他们一直吵一直吵，不能找到解决的方法。这是，一只猴子刚好路过，猫让猴子来评判，解决他们的问题。猴子说“好吧，我会把蛋糕分成相同的两份，你们每人一份。”说着，猴子便把蛋糕分成了两块。他摇着头说：“它们不一样大。一块比另一块大。”猴子在大块的蛋糕上咬了一小口。“哦，天呐，它们还不一样大。”说着又在大的上面咬了一口。最后，蛋糕都变很小了，猴子对猫说：“我怎么能把这么小块的蛋糕给你们呢？我还是自己把它们吃了吧。”说完，猴子吃掉了所有的蛋糕，走了。 The Little Elephants TrunkA little elephant has a long trunk. He is proud of it. He often says to his friends, “Look at my long trunk! Its great!” One day, a cow, a horse and the little elephant are playing. The little elephant sprays water at his playmates. They are very angry. They shout, “How annoying! Go away!” Little elephant wanders in the forest with nothing to do. He swings his long nose to and fro. “Bang!” The trunk wakes up the little tiger and monkey. They are very angry. They all shout at the little elephant, “How disgusting! Go away!” The little elephant goes home. He feels sad. He asks his Mummy, “Why do they dislike my long trunk?” Mummy says, “I have a long trunk too. But they all love me. The little elephant asks, “Why?” Mummy says, “Because I often help others with my trunk. The little elephant says, “Mummy, I will help others with my trunk too.” Mummy says, “I believe you can do very well!” So the little elephant begins to help others with his long trunk. He helps the cow water the garden. He helps the horse clean the window. He helps the goat put out a fire. The little elephant helps many animals with his trunk. They look at the little elephants trunk and say, “Great!” The little elephant smiles. The cow, the horse and the little elephant become good friends. They play together happily.小象的鼻子小象有一个长鼻子，它非常自豪。小象经常对朋友们说：“快看我的长鼻子，它真棒！”一天，小牛、小马和小象在一起玩，小象朝小伙伴们喷水，他们很生气，说：“真讨厌，快走开！”小象无所事事地走在森林里，来回地摇着鼻子。“砰！”吵醒了小老虎和猴子。他们很生气，对着小象喊道：“真讨厌，快走开！”小象很不开心，回到家，小象问妈妈：“为什么他们都不喜欢我的鼻子？”妈妈说“我也有长鼻子，可他们都很喜欢啊。”小象又问：“为什么？”妈妈答道：“因为我经常用它来帮助别人呀。”小象说：“妈妈，我也要用长鼻子来帮助别人。”妈妈说：“我相信你一定能做的很好的。”小象开始用他的长鼻子来帮助别人。他帮奶牛的花园浇水，帮小马擦窗户，帮山羊灭火。小象用长鼻子帮助了很多动物。小动物们看着小象的长鼻子说：“太棒了！”小象笑了。从此以后，奶牛，小马和小象成为了好朋友，他们开心地在一起玩耍。Alaska At the very top of North America lies a cold, wild land: Alaska. Alaska is west of Canada. It sits on the Arctic Circle, between the Pacific and the Arctic Oceans. The climate there is stormy, amazing wildlife, and great natural resources. Because it has such huge, empty spaces, some people call Alaska “The Last Frontier.” Alaska has an exciting history and a bright future. Alaska is enormous, covering over 1.7 million square kilometers. The coastline of Alaska is longer than the coastline of the rest of the United States put together. Alaska is almost as large as the entire country of Mexico! Because it is so big, Alaska includes many different landscapes. Southeast Alaska lies along the Pacific Ocean next to Canada. It has weather similar to British, Columbia, or Seattle, Washington, with a great deal of rain and relatively warm winters. Most of the land in Alaska is in what many Alaskans call “the Interior.” The Interior is full of mountains, glaciers, and Arctic tundra. The climate is freezing cold, and it can also be quite dry. Very few people live in this part of the state. Alaska is famous for its snowy mountains, giant forests, crystal-clear lakes, and beautiful coastline. This wild land is home to grizzly bears, moose, polar bears, wolves, bald eagles, and caribou. Whales, seals, sea lions, sea otters, and fish live in its waters. Many animals in Alaska have thick fur or blubber to keep warm.阿拉斯加州北美洲的最北端有一块寒冷的、荒凉的土地，阿拉斯加。它坐落在北极圈附近，濒临太平洋和北冰洋。阿拉斯加多风暴天气，野生动物繁多，自然资源丰富。由于它幅员辽阔，空间大，一些人称之为“最后的处女地”。阿拉斯加有惊人的历史，光明的未来。阿拉斯加州面积达170万平方千米，海岸线比美国剩余的州的海岸线总和更长，阿拉斯加州的面积相当于整个墨西哥的面积。因为阿拉斯加面积大，它有许多不同的风景地貌。阿拉斯加州的东南部位于太平洋沿岸，紧邻加拿大，多雨，冬天相对比较温暖，就像英国、哥伦比亚，或者西雅图和华盛顿的天气一样。阿拉斯加州的大部分地区被阿拉斯加人成为“内陆地区”。内陆地区山和冰川较多，多为北极苔原地带。气候寒冷且非常干燥，极少有人住在这里。阿拉斯加以雪山、森林、清澈的湖泊和美丽的海岸线闻名，这里是灰熊、北极麋、北极熊、狼、秃鹰和北极驯鹿的家，水生生物有鲸、海豹、海狮、水獭和各种鱼类。许多阿拉斯加的动物都有厚厚的皮毛或鲸脂来御寒。 All about ChocolateAsk people about their favorite sweet thing to eat, and theyll probably say its chocolate. People around the world love chocolate. They love it so much that every year they eat more chocolate than any other sweet. Where does the chocolate come from? It might surprise you learn that chocolate actually grows on trees. That doesnt mean that you can pick a chunk of chocolate from a tree branch and eat it. In fact, the chocolate growing on trees looks, tastes, and smells nothing like the chocolate you eat.The tree that gives us chocolate is the cacao tree. Chocolate comes from beans that are found in large pods on the tree. Cacao trees grow near the equator, where it is hot and wet. Today, most cacao trees are grown on farms called plantations. The trees have lots of small white or yellow flowers that bloom during the year. Some of the flowers change into pods, but most do not. The pods are shaped like little footballs. The pods are green when they first form, but they change to a golden or reddish color as they get ripe. Taking the pods from the cacao trees is just the first step. Making chocolate is a very long and complicated process. As near as historians can tell, people living in Mexico and Central America were using chocolate almost 2,000 years ago. These people enjoyed a drink made from chocolate. But if you were to try this drink today, youd find that it tastes much different from the chocolate drinks you enjoy. In fact, it was a very bitter-tasting drink kind of like coffee.巧克力问别人最喜欢的甜食是什么，他们可能会说是巧克力。全世界都喜欢巧克力。人们很喜欢它，每年巧克力的销量要比其他甜食多。那么巧克力从哪儿来呢？事实上巧克力是长在树上的，你一定觉得很惊讶吧。但是这并不意味着你能从树枝上直接摘下巧克力来吃。其实，巧克力长在树上的时候，无论从外形、口感还是气味都不像你吃的巧克力。巧克力长在可可树上，巧克力来自可可树上的大豆荚。可可树长在湿热的赤道附近。如今，好多种植园也开始种植可可树。每年开花期可可树会长出许多小的白色和黄色的小花，一些花变成豆荚，一些却不能。豆荚的形状像足球，起初是绿色的，到成熟时就变成了金色或微红色。从可可树上摘下豆荚只是第一步，制作巧克力是一个长久而复杂的过程。据历史学家介绍，大概2000年前的墨西哥和中美洲地区已经开始食用巧克力。人们非常喜欢巧克力制成的饮料。但是如今如果你喝这种饮料，你会发现它跟你喜欢的巧克力饮料的味道很不一样，它是一种像咖啡一样的尝起来很苦的饮料。 A friend walk in when the rest of the world walks out.

The bear will think Im dead, he thinks to himself.Soon the bear comes up to the fat man, and even puts its nose to his mouth and ears. The fat man holds his breath.The bear thinks he is dead, so it goes away, because bears never touch the dead. The man in the tree comes down. With a smile he asks his friend, The bear puts its nose so close to your ears. What does it say to you?The friend answers, The bear says, dont trust your friend. He runs away from you when you need his help most.A friend in need is a friend indeed.两个朋友和熊一天，一胖一瘦两个年轻人走在森林里。瘦的说：“我们是好朋友，必须互相帮助，如果遇到野兽，我会帮你的。”“我也会帮你的”胖的说。他们继续往前走，不一会儿，听到了很大的声音，是一只大熊正朝他们走过来。两个年轻人很快跑开了。一个爬上了树，躲在树叶中，他把他朋友忘记了。胖的那个该怎么办呢？他太胖了爬不了树，于是他躺在地上，闭上眼睛，假装自己已经死了。他想“熊应该会觉得我已经死了”。很快地，熊来到胖子身边，凑上鼻子在他嘴巴、耳朵上闻，胖子屏住呼吸。熊认为他已经死了，所以走开了，因为它从来不吃死人。瘦子从树上下来，笑着问他的朋友：“熊凑在你耳朵边跟你说了什么啊？”朋友回答说：“熊说不要相信你的朋友，在你最需要他帮助的时候他一定会跑掉的。”患难见真情。The North Wind and the SunThe north wind and the sun are good friends. But one day they quarrel about something. I am stronger than you, the cold north wind says. No, I am stronger than you, answers the soft warm sun. Just then they see a man walking along the road. I can get that mans hat off his head, says the wind. I can get that mans hat off his head, too, say the sun. Then lets see who can get the mans hat off his head first, says the wind. The one who can do that first is stronger. Ok! You try it first, says the soft warm sun. All right! So the north wind begins to blow. But the harder the wind blows, the tighter the man holds his hat and coat. The wind cant make him take them off. It is my turn now, the sun says. So the sun comes out and shines down warmly upon the man. The man feels hot. He takes off his hat, and then even his coat. Thats enough! You are stronger than me, says the wind.北风和太阳北风和太阳是好朋友，但是有一天他们为了某些事情吵架了。寒冷的北风说：“我比你更强。”温暖柔和的太阳说：“不，我更强。”这是他们看到一个男人走在路上。北风说：“我能把他的帽子吹下来。”“我也可以。”太阳道。“那就让我们看看谁先把帽子弄下来，谁先就是谁更强，”北风说。太阳说：“好的，你先来。”“好吧！”北风开始吹了，可是北风吹的越厉害，男人就把他的帽子和外衣抓的更紧，北风不能让男人把帽子脱下来。“轮到我了”太阳说，太阳出来了，温暖的阳光照在男人身上，男人觉得很热，拿掉了帽子，甚至还脱掉了外套。“好吧，你确实比我更强，”北风说。13
