So the woman took her trouble to the local magician. She told him her story, full of pity for herself. " Can you give me some magic powers to make him love me again? ” she asked anxiously. The magician thought for a moment and replied,“ I will help you, but first you must bring to me three hairs from a living lion. These! Must have before I can give you my magic powers.” There was indeed a lion that often came near to the village. It was frightening. The woman thought again and again and at last she had an idea. The next morning she took a young sheep and waited anxiously. When she saw the lion approaching, she left the sheep in the path of the lion quickly and went back home. So it happened that, every day early in the morning, the woman would rise and take a young sheep to the lion. Gradually the lion came to know the woman. Seeing the lion's trust in her, the woman carefully pulled three hairs from it and set out for the magicians house “Look, "she said happily as she entered, " here they are! "And she gave him the three hairs. “How did you make it ?"asked the magician in surprise.

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. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot 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. There are three steps to being 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. 16.Sally wants to tell students the ways to ________. A. find friends B. plant trees C. get happy D. keep fit 17.What makes good friends? A. A good friend should be lovely and cool.

Paper-cutting is something that he learned to do from an early age. “It is a Chinese folk art with a long history,” Mr. Chen told me, “Paper cuts of animals have been found in tombs which date back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty!”He added that by the Southern Song Dynasty, paper-cutting had become an important part of everyday life. Mr. Chen went on to explain that there are three types of paper cuts which people still make today: paper cuts for decoration, for religious purposes and for design patterns. Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are often put up during holidays to bring good luck. They are also used on presents.
