两只青蛙A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, did you not hear us? The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.一群青蛙正在穿越森林，突然其中两只掉进一个深坑。当其他青蛙看到这个坑有多深时，就对这两只青蛙说他们必死无疑了。那两只青蛙没有理会他们的话，竭尽全力想跳出这个坑。其他青蛙不停地劝他们别再白费力气了，说他们死定了。最后，其中一只听从了那些青蛙的话，于是就放弃了。他倒下去死掉了。另一只青蛙继续使劲地跳。那群青蛙再次向他大喊，要他放弃努力等死算了。他却跳得更欢，最终跳了出来。在他出来之后，其余的青蛙问他：“你没听到我们的话吗？”这只青蛙解释说他是个聋子，以为他们一直在鼓励他呢。Fox and cock One morning a fox sees a cock.He think,"This is my breakfast.''

The first lunar month is called Yuan-month in China, and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. Meanwhile, the 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuanxiao Festival in China. According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere. Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, is eating small dumpling （面团） balls made of glutinous rice flour （糯米粉） . We call these balls Yuanxiao of Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods. The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts （胡桃）， sesame （芝麻）， osmanthus flowers （桂花）， rose petals, sweetened tangerine peel （甜橙皮）， bean paste （豆沙）， or jujube paste （枣泥） . A single ingredient （成分） or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced （切碎的） meat, vegetables or a mixture. The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough （生面团） of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or non-meat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer （层） of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers 回答者： 我发二代 - 试用期 一级 2009-1-17 15:32检举七年级上学期内容的哦:I am a girl.My English name is Linda.I am eleven years old.I have eight subjects at school.They are Chinese,math,English,P.E.,music,art,science and history.My favorite subject is Chinese.I think it is interesting.I also like English.But it's a little difficult for me.I can speak only a little English.History is interesting ,too.I like it.Math is difficult.Mr Wang is our math teacher.He is very strict.I'm usually tired after his class.But I work hard.I think I can study it well.⒈Linda is ______.(A)A.11 B.12 C.13⒉Linda has ______subjects at school.(C)A.six B.seven C.eight⒊Linda's favorite subject is ______.(A)A.Chinese B.English C.math⒋Linda thinks English is ______.(C)A.difficult B.interesting C.a little difficult⒌______ is NOT true.(B)A.Linda can speak a little English.B.Mr Wang is Linda's history teacher.C.Linda thinks she can study math well.
