1．　　A long time ago, there was a fish called Mimo. He lived with his friends in a beautiful coral reef (珊瑚礁). Mimo had a job that was to watch if the sharks (鲨鱼) are coming near the reef. If he saw a shark, he would tell to the octopus (章鱼). Then the octopus would come out and scare (吓) the shark away. Mimo thought the job was very bored so he would call out "SHARK... SHARK!" every day. Then the octopus would run out to scare the shark away, only to find that there was no shark but Mimo was joking. The octopus did not think it funny. The more Mimo called out "SHARK", the more he got angry with Mimo. Because every time he had to stop his work and run to help the little fish.
　　One day, while Mimo was swimming around, he saw a real shark swimming towards him. Afraid, he ran around everywhere, and called out "SHARK" so many times but the octopus did not come out. He didn't believe in Mimo anymore (不再). The shark came close and started running after Mimo. Mimo swam so fast that his little heart was beating fast. Finally, he hid in the corals. The shark couldn't find him and swam away.
　　Mimo was safe but he learnt a very important lesson. He knows that one should not lie. Because if he does so, people will not believe him again, even if he is telling the truth this time!

3．　　It's a popular belief that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds. Every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don't feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have much better memories (记忆力) than we used to think.
　　In the study, researchers (研究员) from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their       　　Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive (生存) in the wild (自然环境). "If fish are able to remember where there is safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
　　In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence (证据) until the latest findings.
　　So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, they may remember who you are.

4．　　Young people often complain (抱怨) that their parents do not understand them. When something goes wrong, most parents don't believe in their children. Instead of asking why, they think their children are wrong.
　　Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you as a little child. But remember that not long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you don't want them to do so.
　　So if you want to get more freedom (自由), please try to understand your parents and don't lie (撒谎) to them. Try a friendly way. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don't just say "All the other kids can stay out late. " Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they might say, "Yes."

5．　　The students of Class 1, Grade 2 are going hiking on their field trip. (1)       Many hikers like to hike in the countryside, in forests and in mountains. Just walking for fun is the first kind of hiking. Many people like to hike in city parks or just on the sidewalks.
　　(2)      For most hikes, people just need clothes and shoes that are fit for the weather. At the beginning, hikers should start with walks that they can do in one day. As you get stronger, you can go on overnight hikes. (3)      You can make your hike last for days or weeks.
　　(4)      You should always have one or two friends with you. It's also a good idea to carry a map.
　　(5)      People carry food, clothing and other things on their backs in a pack. Backpackers can stay many days in places where there is no food to buy. They carry what they need on their backs. Now, put on your hiking shoes and take a hike!

8．　　Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it? The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your life. But things can't always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter. Sally says there are some steps to be friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
