In the middle of a dark forest, there lives an owl(貓頭鷹). All the animals know that he is the wisest(聰明的) among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.
One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “what’s wrong with you?” asks the owl.
“I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to be a bird,” the bird says.
“Why don’t you want to be a bird?” asks the owl.
“I am so small, weak and useless,” she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not”
Then the owl whispers(耳語) something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away. One week later, the bird came back. “Oh, thank you very much. You are a very wise owl,” she says to the owl. “I am very happy now. Every day, I sit on top of the tallest tree and watch for(監(jiān)視) lions and tigers. When they come near, I shout at the top of my voice. Then my friend all run and hide. They are very thankful to me. I am useful and important now”
The wise owl smiles and says, “No one in this world is useless.”

Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics(歌詞), but music with tones (音調(diào)).Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings. Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others take an interest in pop music. Most young people like pop music.

  Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s.The best-known early kind of pop music was “rock and roll”. Pop music has taken the place of (取代)native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for “jazz” music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier and it has now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value (藝術(shù)價值), but the works of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there is still great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.

A.feelings  B.lyrics and tones   C.languages and countries  D.meanings

Do your parents ever say, “Act like a lady” or “Be a gentleman” to you? But in the eyes of today's teenagers, what qualities (品質(zhì)) should a lady or a gentleman have? Let’s take a look.

What is a gentleman?

The girls have their say:

Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman is not a strong, stupid guy. He doesn’t get angry. He cares about others’ feelings. He’s always ready to help. There is a boy in my class I think is a gentleman. I didn’t do well in the mid-term English exam. He comforted (安慰) me by saying I would do better next time. His words made me feel happier.

Chen Tingting of Henan: A gentleman always says, “l(fā)adies first”. When cleaning the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There aren't any gentlemen in my class. When there are snacks, the boys in my class are always the first to grab them!

Boys tell us what they think a lady is:

Wu Yifan of Dalian, Liaoning: A ladylike girl is gentle and quiet. But she’s not shy; she’s not afraid of expressing herself. She is kind and beautiful. To me, actress Dong Jie is a lady. She is pretty and gentle. She also has a kind heart. She does a lot for charity.

Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just pretty-looking but wise too. She never says rude words. She is not noisy. She is always calm and at ease. There aren’t any real ladies in my class, I think. Most of the girls are of a style I call “wild beauties”.
