The reason we start here is that spring is the season of beginnings. Many animals are born in spring, and plants start growing. The weather starts to get warm. The days start getting long. There is usually more rain too. This is good weather for plants to start growing. Summer is after spring. The sun is shining directly at our side of the earth, the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) . This means the days are longer and that the weather is hot. Baby animals are growing, and many plants are growing and flowering. Autumn is the next season. During autumn, the Northern Hemisphere begins to move away from the sun. Because of this, the weather gets cold. The days get short. In autumn, the leaves change colour and fall of the trees. Animals prepare for winter by collecting food. The winter season is the last. In winter, the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun. This means that it is colder and that the days are shorter. In some places, it snows. There are few leaves on the trees, and many plants die. Some animals hibernate (冬眠) , because there is not much food. Some animals also grow long fur coats to keep warm. 1. When are many animals born?A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter. 2. What happens in summer?A. All the plants start flowering. B. Baby animals are growing. C.

What is the story behind this saying?It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, there lived a beautiful woman named Shi Feng. Many young men wanted to marry her. But Shi was hard to impress. She asked her admirers (追求者) to write poems and show them to her. She did this to see how talented they were. If Shi liked someones poems, she would agree to meet him. If she didnt, she wouldnt meet him. But then, to be polite, she would at least give him a bowl of "geng" to eat. "Geng" is a type of thick soup. It is usually made with grain, fruit or vegetables. As time passed, "eating a bowl of thick soup" came to mean "being refused". The dish was also nicknamed "door-closing thick soup", since Shi would not open her door for the people who received the dish. But there is a twist (转折) to this story.

"Where is your homework?" asked Mr Fish, the history teacher, on Monday morning. Everyone turned to look at Jack"I did my homework at the weekend but I forgot it this morning. I can bring it to school tomorrow. ""Well, make sure you do," said Mr Fish. When he got home, Jack thought about doing his history homework. But then he played a computer game with his brother Jim, and then he started watching TV, so he forgot all about it. On Tuesday morning, Jacks friends, Liam and Tom, were waiting for him at the gate of the school. They looked upset. "Whats up?" asked Jack. "Jason and his friends took our football away," answered Liam. Jack walked over to Jason and asked for the football. They laughed at him. So Jack became angry and had a fight with them. Mr Green, the art teacher, saw them and they all got into trouble for fighting. On Wednesday, Jack had an accident in the chemistry laboratory. He hurt himself when he did a test. The chemistry teacher was so angry that he took Jack to the headteachers office. On Thursday night, Jack couldnt sleep. He wasnt worrying about the headteacher. In fact, he was thinking about the Westbourne Fair. Every year, on a Thursday night in April, the fair entered the town.

Every animal has its place in the balance (平衡) of nature. We should try to help save animals. Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give animals comfortable and safe living places. If animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about animals in zoos by watching, listening and even smelling instead of just looking at pictures in books. Some people dont think animals feel happy in zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are strong and happy in the wild. If they are in zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all. I think we should build national parks as wildlife nature reserves and encourage people to protect animals. If we do nothing, there will e fewer and fewer animals. 根据短文内容, 完成表格。 (每空一词) Help save animalsIn 1. _ Zoos 2. _ animals with comfortable and safe ling places.

Usually, their parents buy these toys for them, often as Christmas or birthday gifts. Some children buy small toys with their pocket money. But instead of buying toys, a fun way to get new toys is to make them. The easiest toy to make is a kite. For a kite, all you need is a large piece of paper, two sticks, some string and some glue. Take the two sticks and use the string to fix them together in the centre. Then take a length of (一段) string and tie it to the ends of the sticks to make a string square. Cut the paper to make it the same size as the square. Finally, stick the paper to the string square with glue. Now your kite is finished. All you need to do is tie a long string to the kite so you can fly it. In many countries, they have kite competitions. Hundreds of people come together to show off their kites. In one famous competition, some of the kites are more than three metres tall They make many strong men to fly them and use rope instead of string. 根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。每题答案不超过8个词。1.
