It was a hot summer day. A group of ants were working hard. They were carrying food.

Some grasshoppers were playing in the shade of a tree. One of the grasshoppers asked an ant, “Why are you working so hard on such a hot day?”

“Because you cannot find food in winter. We are getting food for winter,” answered the ant.

“It’s so early to find food for winter. You are a fool to work on such a hot day,” he teased (取笑) the ant.

The ant was very angry and shouted at the grasshopper, “Well, go and play! You will have a bad time in winter. ”

Summer was over and winter came. The grasshopper could not find food anywhere. He was both cold and hungry. He went to the ant’s home and knocked at the door.

“Mr. Ant, I’m very cold and hungry. I’m dying. Please let me have something to eat,” he said.

Days later, the grasshopper died in the snow.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子。

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place because they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.

For many years historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar (日歷). The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for. But most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose.

1.Stonehenge is one of ________, as well as greatest mysteries in Britain.

2.People go to Stonehenge in June, in order to _________.

3.Historian Paul Stoker thinks Stonehenge can’t be a ________, because the leaders arrived in England much later.

4.The large stones were put together in a certain way, so Stonehenge might be ________.

5.________ is sure what Stonehenge was used for.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子。

Qi Haoran, a Junior One student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winter vacation - and not just with homework. Qi, together with ten other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (活動(dòng)).

The eleven students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. ‘Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food. ” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet first. It calls on people to reduce food waste.

China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have ten stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

1.Qi Haoran and his classmates made ________ to call on people to reduce food waste.

2.The eleven students told people the ________ of saving food in many restaurants.

3.The Clean Your Plate Campaign began ________ first.

As China’s influence grows, many students in the US are working hard to learn Chinese. Parents and education experts (專家) in the US think Chinese speakers may have greater chances. The number of schools that teach Chinese has grown. Ten years ago, only about 300 schools in the US had Chinese lessons. Today, about 1,600 schools teach Chinese.

Lomond Elementary School in Ohio is one of them. Each week, all students in grades one through five have a one - hour Chinese class. They learn the language through songs, games and lots of talking. “We’re trying to make students interested in the language”, teacher James told Times For Kids. “We think it’s really important that all children receive these lessons”, he says. “We’d like to do even more.”

“Schools are looking to the future,” says Nancy, a US education expert. “China is becoming a really powerful country. Young people should not only know the language but under- stand the culture.” Students may not be thinking about the future, but they think learning Chinese language and culture is fun. “We wish we could go to China one day.” said Karl and his classmate, Walt, from Miami. More than 40 million foreigners around the world are studying Chinese. About 50,000 people in the US are learning the language. Chinese has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US after Spanish.
