I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one 1 was the most important.
It happened last term just after I had got a 2 result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence (自信). I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be 3.
The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking 4 a teacher. Instead(相反地), he held up a twenty yuan note!
"Who wants this?" he asked. Unsurprisingly, 5 of us in the-class put up our hands.
The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The speaker smiled again, but 6 nothing. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same 7 a third time.
I didn't 8 what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn't know what to do. I wanted the note, 9 I put my hand up again. After a while, he 10 the note and started to laugh. You have all just told me how to become successful." 11 said to us with the note in his hand.
"The note is worth(值) twenty yuan. It is 12 worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter(无论) 13 happens to you, you still have yours worth."
When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I began to 14 I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn't 15 I can't do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!

Animals grow up in different ways. Some newborn animals are helpless but their mothers protect them. A newborn kangaroo is very small. It is only a few centimeters long. It closes its eyes and doesn't have hair. It stays safe in its mother's pouch(育儿袋) for a long time.
A newborn monkey cannot walk. Its mother carries it everywhere.
Other baby animals can walk soon after they're born. They learn to run with their mothers when danger is near. A baby zebra can run an hour after it is born.
Some baby animals are born in a place that is safe. Baby wolves are usually born in big holes with little light. Other baby animals are born in the open space. A baby elephant is often born on the open land.
Animals that drink their mothers' milk are called mammals(哺乳动物). A mother bear's milk is rich. Baby bears have milk for a few months. This is the same with baby zebras. As baby animals grow, they need solid(固体的) food. Baby lions eat what their mother can catch!
Can you imagine(想象) you can fish in your home on a cold winter day? Now we are going to tell you about a special kind of house—ice fishing house. Staying in such a house, you can even do the fishing and watch TV at the same time.
In North America, many people like fishing on the ice in cold winter. But it's too cold to stay out in winter, so people think of making an ice fishing house. An ice fishing house is set on the ice. The ice must be strong enough to carry it. In the house, people can dig holes in the ice and begin fishing.
People can have a lot of fun in their ice fishing houses. Some houses look pretty. In the houses, there're enough things for everyday use. Some have a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. After fishing, people can cook the fish and enjoy their dinner. How great!
Today, most of the ice fishing houses are made of light materials(材料). People can move them "after fishing". Would you like to fish in an ice fishing house? You will like it!
