Long， long ago there were a lot of donkeys. The donkeys worked hard every day. They had no time to play or to relax， but they never felt appreciated(赏识)for the work they did. One day two donkeys got bored. They wanted to live a comfortable life， so the donkeys went to see a wise old man. They told him their problem. The wise old man agreed that they worked too hard， and he wanted to help the donkeys. “I have an idea，” he said. “What is your idea?” asked the donkeys. “I will paint you and no one will know you are donkeys，” said the man. The man went off to find some paint and he returned in just a few minutes. He had two pots of paints. One pot was filled with white paint， and the other black paint. The old man first painted them white， and then painted black stripes over the white paint. When he finished， the donkeys did not look like donkeys at all. “You no longer look like donkeys，” the old man said. “Everyone will be fooled.

Listen carefully!” Steve turned to look at her， fixing his eyes on Miss White， as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade. “You all did pretty well，” she told the class， “except for one boy， and it breaks my heart to tell you this， but...” She hesitated， her eyes searching his face. “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!” She just stared at Steve.

Music has always been an important part of Chinese people’s life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by， music changes. Traditional music is part of our culture， so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music， which is loved by many young people， however， is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today’s musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day. Before radio and TV were invented， music could only be heard live — that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy， so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people， the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today， people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street. One thing that hasn’t changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being. Music， traditional or modern， Chinese or international， seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go， but nothing changes our love for good music. Music changes as1.goes by

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact， it' s more than 6，000 kilometers long. It winds its way from west to east， across deserts， over mountains， through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period， more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire， Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. Thus， the Great Wall came into being. The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers， where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the towers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth， but of the flesh and blood of millions of men. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man." 回答下面5个问题， 每题答案不超过7个词。 1.How long is the Great Wall of China? 2.When was the Great Wall joined up? 3.When the enemy invaded，what did the soldiers do on the watchtowers? 4.How was the Great Wall built? 5.How do you understand “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man”?
