    Henry loved books, but not like you and I love books. Henry loved to1books. It all began quite by mistake one afternoon when he wasn't paying attention. He wasn't sure at first, and tried eating only one2Just to test.

    Next, he tried a whole sentence and then a whole page. Yes, Henry liked them very much. By Wednesday, he had eaten a whole book. He was3them very fast.

    And by the end of the month he could eat a whole book in one go.

But here is the best bit: The4he ate, the smarter he got.

    He ate a book5goldfish and then he knew what to feed. Before long he could do his father's crossword in the newspaper…, and was even smarter than his teacher in school.

    Henry loved being smart. He 6 that if he kept going, he might even become the smartest person on earth. So he kept eating books about anything. Henry wanted to know7all.

    8the thing started going not so well. In fact, they started going very, very wrong Henry was eating too many books, and too9at that. He was beginning to feel a little ill.

    Everything Henry was10was getting mixed up. I he didn't have11to digest(消化)it. It became quite difficult for him to speak.

    Suddenly Henry didn't feel very smart at all.

    I've been dancing since I was 14, when my best friend asked me to go to an after-school dance class with her. I enjoyed that dance class and from then on, I began to dance. After every class, I always have to stretch out(拉伸)my legs and back! It feels like as much exercise as a sport.

    However, most people think dancing isn't a sport. They think it's an art form(艺术形式). It is easy to see why those people think so. Dancing to music is relaxing and enjoyable, just like watching a play.

    On the other hand, many people think that dancing is a sport. No matter what kind of dance you do, you always use all of your muscles (肌肉). So, dancers are often just as athletic as football players, runners or swimmers.

    In my opinion, dancing is both a sport and an art form. It has brought me great fun and improved my health.

    Anyway, whether you think of dancing to be a sport or an art form, the important thing is to enjoy it! Dancing is a really fun way to exercise!

    The best way to teach your children to live a green lifestyle is to live that green lifestyle yourself. When kids see you picking up rubbish from the park, they see value(价值)in keeping public places clean Use these tips to introduce your children to green living：

    Use public transport. Use the car only when necessary; at other times, take trains and buses with your children.

    Ask for their help. Younger children often love grown-up activities. So have them carry a small bag of food waste to the bin, or let them help separate(分开)your recycling. Older children may want to take part in the activities like cleaning up the neighbourhood and organizing the daily recycling If they're not very interested, make environment-friendly activities a family-time priority (优先事项)

    _________________________ Petting farms for younger kids may help prevent(防止)farm animals from becoming something that they see only in books or on television. Many people believe that wild animals shouldn't be kept in any kind of zoos, but they do offer a valuable educational and conservation(保护)lesson. So if you want to visit a zoo, find a zoo that provides its animals with as natural an environment as possible

    When the exam began, Molly saw Ted holding his phone under the table. He was reading something on the phone! Molly was surprised. Was that how Ted always got good grades? She felt really angry. It wasn't fair! Then Molly put up her hand. Ted was looking at his phone and didn't hear Mr. Reed as he walked up to his table. Mr. Reed picked up Ted's exam paper and told him to go outside. Ted started crying as he went to the door. Molly felt really sorry.

    After school, Molly heard footsteps (脚步声)behind her when she was leaving school. It was Ted "Molly, wait!" he called. "I want to talk to you." Molly could see Ted's eyes were red." Listen! I'm really sorry I didn't answer your calls. My dad had heart trouble. He had an operation (手术) today. I was very worried, so I was reading messages from my mom to see how it was going. But Mr. Reed thought I was cheating. Luckily he believes me now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Will you forgive(原谅)me?”
