Once upon a time a little leaf was heard to cry, as leaves often did when a gentle wind passed by. The twig (小枝) asked, "What's the matter, little leaf?" The leaf said, "The wind just told me that one day it will pull me off!" When the tree heard this, it swung all over and promised the leaf, "You will not go till you want to."

The sunny days of the autumn came. The little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were red, and some were in both colors. The little leaf asked the tree what it meant. The tree said, "All these leaves are ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy."

The little leaf wanted to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it. When it was very bright in color, it saw the branches (树枝) of the tree had no color in them. The leaf asked, "Branches, why are you brown?" "We must keep our working clothes on. Your clothes are for holiday, because your tasks are over," said a branch.

Just then a little puff of wind came, took the leaf up and turned it over and over. The little leaf was like the fire in the air, and fell down silently among hundreds of other leaves. It began to dream — a dream so beautiful that perhaps it would last forever.

1.The tree wanted to ________ the little leaf at first.

A.protect B.give up C.control D.go with

2.Why didn't the branches change colors?

A.Because the air was too dry. B.Because they had to keep working.

C.Because they were too lazy. D.Because they hardly got sunshine.

3.The little leaf fell down with ________.

A.sadness B.regret C.surprise D.satisfaction

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Always prepare for the future. B.Live in and enjoy the moment.

C.Each season has its own beauty. D.We should make our own decisions.

Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a wood and he thought he could hear a sad cry. Following the sound he came to a big, round, mysterious, grey fountain. The sad sound seemed to be coming from the fountain pool. The boy swept aside the pool’s dirty surface water and saw a group of grey fish swimming in a slow circle through the pond.

Amused by this, the boy tried to catch one of these incredible talking fish. But when he stuck his arm into the water it turned grey right up to the elbow. As this happened, a huge sadness entered into him, and he suddenly understood how sad the fish were feeling.

He quickly pulled his arm out of the water, and ran from that place. But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried so many times to cheer himself up, but nothing worked. That was, until he realized that if he were to make the Earth happy then that happiness would be, in turn, transmitted back to him, through the earth on his arm. X|k | B|　 1　 .　 c|O　 |m

The first little pig built his house with grass. It was the easiest thing to do. The second little pig built his house with sticks, which was a little bit stronger than the grass house. The third little pig built his house with bricks(砖), which was the strongest but took him a lot of time.

One day the wolf came and saw the first little pig in his grass house. The wolf pushed down the house and ate the first little pig.
