One day in the cold dark forest, she met another child who asked for her dress. The little girl thoughtthat it was dark and nobody could see her, so she gave her dress away. At last, she had almost nothing, nofamily, nowhere to live, nothing to eat and little to wear.
Suddenly, stars fell from the sky. These stars became pieces of money and a beautiful dress. The little girl was rich for the rest of her life and she still helped the people in need with her money.
Robert was a boy of eight years old. One day, when he was doing cleaning at home, he thought he should move the box out of the house. The box made of wood was very heavy. And it was much bigger than him. He tried, but he could not move it. After resting for a short time, the boy started once more, but failed again. He couldn't even move it a bit. He felt very tired and hopeless.
Just then, his father came home from work and saw his son work hard. He didn't help Robert Instead, he asked, "Dear son, have you done your best? And are you doing everything you can?"
" △ "the boy cried.
"No, you're not,"his father said quietly, "You have not asked me to help you. Asking for help is nota weakness. At some point, even the strongest of us needs help. It is important to know when to ask for help and understand why you need it. Never be afraid to ask others for help when you're in trouble. "
Robert nodded（点头）with a big smile.
On April 26, 2017, a big Chinese ship caught the eyes of the whole world. China's first homemade aircraft carrier（航空母舰）hit the water in Dalian, Liaoning.
The new big ship is China's second aircraft carrier. It was designed（设计）in China and built in China, too. It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide. That is a bit larger than three soccer fields.
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea. It can carry planes and troops to war. Planes fly fromthe carrier and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it, too. But building an aircraft carrier is so hard and expensive. It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials. For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60,000 tons of steel. It also uses complex（复杂的）technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build one. Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one. China has become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself, after the USA, Russia, England, France, Italy and Spain.
Here is a book that is easy to read, but it is on a big subject. The book is named Animal Farm（1945）. It is by the English writer George Orwell. It is a story about farm animals. They are tired of the farmer, Mr. Jones. He treats them badly, so they decide to kick（踢出）him off the farm and run the farm themselves.
One day an old pig called Old Major gathers（聚集）the animals around him. He tells them that all animals should stand together（一起）. He says they should take over（接管）the farm. After they get rid of（除掉）Mr. Jones, two pigs become the leaders of the Animal Farm.
One pig called Snowball is a great speaker. He has big ideas for the Animal Farm. The other leader isa pig called Napoleon. He is a crafty animal. He brings together supporters（支持者）by offering them advantages（有利条件）. Napoleon makes a war（战争）against Snowball and kicks him away from the farm. He turns Snowball into a big enemy（敌人）. He tells all the animals that Snowball hates the Animal Farm. He says that Snowball is working with Farmer Jones and other farmers to destroy（摧毁）the Animal Farm.
But in fact, it is Napoleon who is working with the enemies of the animals.
He joins the old human enemies of the animals.
But he tells the animals that he is working for them. So the animals work hard.
It is as bad to live under Napoleon as it was under Farmer Jones!

Not all penguins（企鹅）live in cold places. Like other penguins, African penguins spend most of the day feeding in the ocean, and that helps keep them cool. Their living place can get quite warm, but bare skin（露的皮肤）on their legs and around their eyes help them stay cool.
Most other penguins lay（产）their eggs in the open. However, African penguins do it in a different way. They dig holes to lay their eggs so that they are protected from the sun's heat. After that,they start going out and return to the hole to stay cool and stay away from dangerous animals. On land（陆地）,some animals such as dogs and cats will eat penguins.
The African penguin is in danger now. There are only about 52,000 left in the wild. Other problems include humans' picking penguin eggs for sale, competition with humans for fish, and oil pollution in the ocean.
