On Feb. 3, 2014, a girl from Massachusetts, the US, said that circuses（马戏团）should no more use hooks（钩子）or chains on elephants. And the government should do something

【2】 They can’t walk freely. And chains bring them great pain. Some people even use hooks when they train elephants. The hooks are sharp and bring elephants much more pain. Circus actors even push a hook into an elephant's body to move it along during a show. “After some time, the elephant's skin breaks down. It feels the pain, but it can’t say anything. It can' t say no to those cruel people." Sophie told local newspaper Marblehead Reporter. She also said that it would be bad for children.

【3】   Back in 2011, as a sixth-grader, she searched for different animal protection groups online and helped them.

So when she spoke in front of 70 people at the state house, Sophie was not afraid. She was full of courage.

“Elephants aren’t treated with kindness.  【4】  I speak for them with my voice, and my love." she said.

25、   The students often gather together in small,closed groups.If you are not part of a group，it can be difficult for you to be accepted.This is especially true if you can't speak to the members of the group in their language.

Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation. Somehow, he had to adapt （适应） to this new environment．He did a little research on the Internet and discovered that smiling is universal language, it is understood everywhere.

One morning, as Sam was walking by a group of students, he smiled at them. A boy in group smiled back at him. For Sam, this was a good beginning. Later, he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall with a warm smile on his face. Sam returned the smile.

26、I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about astudent who studied in Germany.

After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. “We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany.”

What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.

From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will com out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the best rule.

【1】Did the student often buy a ticket when he took the subway?

【2】Where did the student study?

【3】According to the passage, what is the best rule?

27、   Two little boys Carl and Philip were playing one day when a Fairy (仙女）appeared and handed each of them a New Year present. They opened the packages and found two beautiful books, with pages as white as the snow.

A year passed and the Fairy came again to the boys.

The Fairy: I have brought you new books and will take the old ones back to Father Time.

 Philip: May I keep my book a little longer? I haven’t read it lately.

 The Fairy: No, I must take it back.

Carl: I wish that I could look through my book just one more time. I can only read one page at a time, because when I turn the page it sticks and I can never open the book again that day.

The Fairy: Maybe you should check your books. She lit two little candles for them. To their great surprise, on one page there were ugly, black spots (黑点）while the very next page showed a lovely little picture. Even on the most beautiful pages there were ugly spots too.

Carl and Philip: Who did this? Every page was as white as snow when we first opened it, but now they are full of spots!

The Fairy: See, Philip, the roses appeared on this page when you shared your toys with the baby; and this pretty bird would never be on here if you were not kind the other day.

Philip: But what makes these spots?

The Fairy: That came when you told a lie one day, and this when you did not listen to Mom. All these spots that look so ugly in your books were made when you were naughty (淘气的）.Each pretty thing in your books came on its page when you were good.

Carl and Philip: Oh, I wish we could have the books again!

The Fairy: That cannot happen. They must now go back into Father Time’s bookcase, but I have brought you each a new one. Perhaps you can make these more beautiful than the others. With these words, she disappeared, and the boys were left alone, but each held in his hand a new book open. And on the cover of this book was written in letters of gold, "FOR THE NEW YEAR".
