There are two mice called Bill and Paul. They are good friends. One mouse lives in the country; the other one lives in the city. On a sunny day they meet in the street.

Paul: Hi, Bill! Have a look at my house in the country. I'm sure you can enjoy yourself.
Bill: I'd love to. But I hear that the food is not delicious and your house is not good. Is it so?
Paul: No, that's not true. Go and see!

Then Bill goes to the countryside with Paul.

Bill: Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone(石头). You would have better(更好的) food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.
Paul: Thanks! Maybe you are right. I'll visit your house one day.

Several days later, Paul goes to Bill's house in the city. The house is big and beautiful. They are sitting in the dining room, having a big dinner comfortably. Suddenly, there is a great noise.

Bill: Run! Paul! Run! Run! The cat is coming!
Paul: Oh, no! It's terrible! Both the house and the food are nice, but I do not like living in the city. I prefer to live in my hole in the country, for it's nice to be poor but happy than to be rich but afraid.

Scientists (科学家) think that many — maybe (可能) most — animals don’t see colors. The world is black and white to them. To find out if (是否) dogs could see colors, scientists played a piece of (一首) music before giving their dogs some food. After a few (几) days the dogs started getting ready to (准备) eat every time they heard this piece of music. They did not get ready to eat when they heard other pieces of music.

Then the scientists showed the dogs a color before giving them food. After a few days the dogs would get ready to eat when they saw this color. The scientists then showed the dogs a different color and the dogs got ready to eat again. The dogs couldn’t (不能) tell the difference between the two colors.

But monkeys can see differences between colors. For example (例如), if we put food in a red box every day, a monkey can go to the red box to get the food. If we then fill (装满) a blue box with food, the monkey can’t go to it.

【推荐1】Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.

Now we are staying in Bangkok. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠宝）and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace（项链）. My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.

Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.

The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s hot again.

【推荐2】Starting from the coming fall term, students in primary and middle schools will have at least one lesson every week to learn simple but necessary housework skills such as cleaning and cooking.

Labor（劳动）lessons cover mainly housework, productive labor, and services. The lessons are good for students’ character.

Primary school students in first and second grades need to do simple but necessary cleaning, wash vegetables and peel（剥皮）fruit, and learn to raise one or two kinds of plants or small animals. Third and fourth graders should clean their classrooms, wash their underwear, socks and shoes, and know how to make cold dishes. Fifth and sixth graders should know the skills of cooking two or three common dishes. For middle school students, they are encouraged to cook three or four dishes by themselves, learn how to make one or two kinds of traditional handicrafts（手工艺品）and experience one or two types of industrial labor（工业劳动）, new technologies, modern service or volunteer work.

People welcome such lessons and say it’s necessary to teach young students housework skills. Yang Jianping, a mother of a first grader in Beijing, says she supports teaching students such lessons, because they can help students learn some necessary labor skills. Her son’s head teacher asks the students to clean the classrooms. She likes it very much.
