     A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain.

    “You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No,that’s beyond you. Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what real flying is!”

     One of the swans,a strong young male,took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles,performed other flying tricks,and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

     Now it was the swan's turn. He flew up,and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him,making all kinds of comments (評價) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn5t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air,and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.

     The swan pretended not to notice,and said, “Why do you keep touching the water,brother? Is that another trick?”

     “No ,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride!If you don't help me,I'll lose my life." ”

      The swan took pity on him,and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

閱讀提示：本文講述的是烏鴉和天鵝的故事。驕傲自大的烏鴉看不到天鵝的長處而只看到天鵝的短處，自以為以自己的長處和天鵝的短處進行比賽必勝無疑，卻不知道危險。烏鴉在比賽過程中遇到死亡的威脅而幡然醒悟，最后天鵝用自己的善良拯救了烏鴉的性命。

      Animals are our friends. But now more and more animals,such as tigers,pandas and elephants are in danger. All of us should do something to protect them. It's the time. Then what can we do for animals in danger?

      One of the most important ways is to protect their habitats. When visiting a natural park,you should make sure you follow the rules. Leave the flowers,birds and eggs where you find them. You can even grow a tree or build a birdhouse in your garden.

      We should also protect the environment. You’d better take a bus,ride bicycles or walk but not drive cars. Turn off lights,radios and televisions when you are not using them. Take your own bag to the supermarket when you go shopping.

      Another important thing to protect animals is to think about what you use and eat. Don’t buy things which are made of animal fur or ivory. Eat more vegetables and fruit but less meat.

      Typhoons are some of the worst storms? usually around the Pacific Ocean. Most happen in July? August and September.

     Almost every day,we use a computer to search information,send e-mails and play games. But everything would not go so well without its friend :small,clickable mouse.

     In 1968,US inventor Douglas Engelbart showed a cute machine to the public. It was a small wooden box with two metal wheels to roll back and forth. On top of it,there was a small red button that you could click. The machine was connected to the computer with a cable that looked like a “tail”. That's how it got its name “mouse”. This was the first mouse that could fit into a user's hand 

      Engelbart wanted computers to be more user-friendly. And he certainly succeeded. The coming of the mouse changed the way in which humans work together with computers. Instead of typing orders with a keyboard,users can now go faster with a mouse.

     But the mouse didn,t become popular until more than 10 years later. Apple's CEO Steve Jobs showed Applet Lisa computers with a mouse during the early 1980s. Since then,the mouse has been made in many shapes,sizes and colors,but allbased on the idea of Engelbart^ design.

Although there are touchpads (觸摸板) and touch-sensitive screens,the mouse is still an important part of all modern computers.
