Across from my home,there is a field with two horses in it. It seems that each horse looks like any other far away. But if you get a closer look,you will see the bigger horse is blind.

   But if you stand nearby and listen,you will hear the sound of a bell. It is coming from the neck of the smaller horse in the field. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is,so he can follow him.

   As you stand and watch these two friends,you’ll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is,so that he will not be left.

   When the horse with the bell returns to the bam (畜棚) each evening,he will stop from time to time to look back,making sure that the blind friend isn’t too far behind to hear the bell.

   Sometimes we are the blind horse,and at other times we are the guide horse,helping others to find their way.

   The time in my life I felt the most nervous was when I taught my first class. At that time,I was a new 1 in China University of Geoscience. I was so 2 that I don't know what I could do.

   My students weren’t really 3 at the university. They came from different geology departments. Their geology departments sent them to Beijing for training. All of them were 4 than I was. Some of them are over 50 years old. They didn't work so hard so they were very difficult to teach.

   That day,I prepared everything. When I went to the classroom,I was very nervous and afraid. Because I knew 5 about teaching skills. I stood there for a long time and finally remembered I had to introduce myself. I felt my voice was very 6 ,too. I heard a voice ,“How old are you?” I told him I was twenty-seven years old and waited for them to ask another question. They didn't ask me more questions. They talked to me. One student said, “You are like my daughter. I know you need help." All of us laughed. I began to feel 7 After a few minutes,I began to teach my class. The first few minutes,I couldn’t speak clearly,but my students understood everything. All of them listened to me. 8 did other things. Then I taught my class. I gradually forgot being nervous. After that,I learned how to teach them. I used different 9 to teach them. After half a year,when they finished their 10 ,they said to me ,“ You were the best teacher in our training.

   Winter is coming. It's time for the arctic ground squirrel (北極松鼠) to get her underground home ready. Winter is long and cold in northern Canada. Plants can't grow,so there are no leaves or grass for animals to eat. They must find other ways to live. The arctic ground squirrel “sleeps” the winter away.

   ① For months the ground squirrel has been eating lots of seeds,mushrooms,and berries. Now she is fat. The extra fat will keep her alive through the winter. At last she crawls through a tunnel (隧道) into the nest she has made. She curls up,wraps her tail around herself,and goes to “ sleep. ” Only she won’t really be sleeping. She will be hibernating.

   ② The ground squirrel's body is usually as warm as yours. When she hibernates,her body becomes colder than ice. But she doesn’t freeze. Her heart beats just one or two times each minute. She will take only about three breaths each minute. These changes in the ground squirrel's body let her live through the winter. When she hibernates,she doesn’t need much food.

   ③ The ground squirrel will not stay in hibernation all winter. Her body warms up and becomes active for a few hours once every few weeks. Over the winter,these active times use up more than half of the energy that she worked so hard to store. Why does she do this? Scientists aren’t sure. Some think arctic ground squirrels must warm up in case their bodies need to fight off any germs that would make them sick.

   As we all know many people like to eat fast food. ① Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly. Fast food restaurants are ② because they sell food that tastes good and doesn’t cost a lot of money. Fast food means food that can be prepared quickly. Fast food restaurants usually have a walk up counter and/or drive-thru window where you order and pick up your food without having to wait long.③假如你很忙，你可以吃快餐來節(jié)約時間。

   Is fast food bad for your health? Is some fast food healthier than others? Fast food is usually cheap because it's often made with cheaper ingredients (成分) instead of nutritious (營養(yǎng)豐富的) food such as lean (痩的) meat,fruit,and vegetables.
