Characters: a wolf（狼）, a pig, a cow, a duck Setting: on a form A tired and hungry wolf walked slowly into a quiet farm.He saw a pig, a duck and a cow reading in the sun.
He suddenly jumped to the farm animals with a loud sound—Aaaooooooo! But are trying to read. This is a farm for educated animals.
Wolf: Educated animals? This is something new. Well then! I'll know how to read, too.
The wolf went off to school. The children found it strange to have a wolf in their class, but since he didn't try to eat anyone, they soon got used to him. After much effort(努力), the wolf learned to read and write.
Then he went back to the farm.
Wolf: (Open his book and begin to read.) Run wolf, run see wolf run...
Pig: Not bad, but you still need to work on your pronunciation(发音). You've got a long way to go.
The farm animals went on reading their own books, not showing any interest in what the wolf read. But the wolf wasn't about to give up. He ran to the public library, reading day and night. Then he went back to the farm again.
Wolf: (Take out his new book and begin to read.)Long long ago, in a small town, there lived a little girl...
Duck: This is so much fun.
Pig: You are very skilled at reading now.
Cow: We should all become storytellers.
Duck: We could set up a storytelling club together.
Pig: We can set it up tomorrow morning.
Wolf: Wow, I can't agree more!
What should we do if one of our classmates suddenly falls ill or gets hurt? Here are some steps you should follow. But always remember to look for medical care after first aid(急救) if the wound is serious.
Broken bones(骨头): Take away clothing from the wound. Use an ice pack. Don't move the hurt body part while waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Animal bites(咬伤): Wash the bite area with soap and water. Pack the wound with a clean cloth if it is bleeding. If the bleeding has stopped, cover the area with a bandage and take the person to the hospital. Make sure you remember what kind of animal it is so the doctor can find the right way to treat him or her at once.
Fainting(昏厥): Have him or her lie with feet lifted a little. Don't move the body if you think there might be wounds from the fall. Make sure he or she can breathe and let in fresh air. Clean the person's face with a cool cloth.
Nosebleeds: Have the person sit up with his or her head tilted(倾斜) forward a little. Do not have the person tilt his or her head back because this may cause heavy breathing or coughing. Pinch(捏) the lower part of the nose for at least 10 minutes.
"Flying Over Chongqing" is a game in Chongqing Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City (重庆融创文旅城). With a pair of glasses, you can visit many places of interest in Chongqing in a few minutes. This is VR—the most exciting technology (科技) nowadays. It can put you in a new but unreal world.

VR technology is going to change our life. Some users will lose themselves and feel mad when playing games with it. Some enjoy themselves too much in the unreal world and don't want to come back to be themselves in real life. Whether you're interested in the unreal world or not, please come back to the real world and be yourself.
Just returned from a trip to New Jersey. On the way back, I was stopped by a traffic accident. This accident happened because of a truck carrying a lot of dangerous materials that were leaking out (外漏). After being told by the policeman that we would be sitting there until the clean-up was completed. We drivers got out of the cars to have a rest. For most of the time, five of us were standing by my car, complaining(抱怨).
Another truck with two elderly people stopped near us. The man, Joe, let the window down and asked why no one was moving. Soon we were all talking with this couple. I said that if I had known about this, I would have bought something to drink, because I was becoming thirsty. The lady, Anna, said that they had plenty of water in the fridge in their truck and offered everyone something to drink. She said she could make sandwiches for us. While Anna was making the sandwiches, she was singing like a songbird. Being close to 70, I guessed, she had a fantastic voice.
I saw a Mississippi license(驾照) on the truck. I asked what part of Mississippi they were from. Joe said they were from Biloxi. Knowing that Biloxi was damaged by a hurricane(飓风), I asked him about the disaster(灾难). Joe said that they had lost almost everything. Everything they had was in the truck.
Joe said that their son was living around Virginia and they were going there. There was a home for sale and they were going to start all over again there. Starting over at their age, we know, would not be easy.
These wonderful people lost everything they had but still would not accept any money for their food and drinks. Joe said that it was better to give than to get.

Last month, I took my son Tom to see his grandparents in the countryside. His grandpa took him out to the yard to play. Tom was interested in everything.
At lunch, Tom told me, "Dad, I saw a hen (母鸡) flying."
"Impossible!" I said without thinking, "How can a hen fly?"
"Dad, the dog ran after the hen in the yard. The hen was trapped in a corner. When the hen saw no other way out, she suddenly flew up to the top of the house. Then the hen ran away.
I thought for a while and said, "Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly."
Tom nodded (点头). He seemed to understand what I said.
Last weekend, we visited Tom's grandparents again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard, "Dad! The dog is running after the hen again! Come and see!"
I ran out of the house. The hen was running after a group of chicks, followed closely by the dog. Then the hen suddenly stopped and turned around. She raised up her wings(翅膀) and clucked (咯咯叫) at the dog.
I ran over and got between the dog and the hen, shouting at the dog to drive it away.
"Dad, why didn't the hen fly away? She can't fight the dog," Tom asked. I thought for a while and said, "Maybe because of love. She loves her babies more than anything in the world."
Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to have understood.
