Dear editor（编辑）
I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks(孔雀)here .The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square（广场）
They are given food freely by visitors ,They usually throw food to them ,and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors . I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds ,but don’t realize(意识到)that they may be doing them harm (伤害).The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food .For us every person, it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

Mike and Dick work in the same office. They don’t like the cold weather. And one day they decided to take their holiday in Australia. Their plane arrived in Sydney at nine in the morning. They had a good rest in a hotel. The next morning they rented (租) a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later, the sun was shining in the sky and there were no shade trees (遮阴树) beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop to look around. Mike found a river about half a kilometer away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car quickly. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing under a big tree. He asked,“Are there any sharks (鲨) in the river, boy?”“No, there aren’t,”answered the boy. So they began to swim in the river. After a while, Dick felt something hit against his leg. He told Mike about it. They were afraid and stopped swimming. Dick asked loudly,“Is it true that there aren’t any sharks in the river?”“Yes, sir,”said the boy,“There’re a lot of crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the water. All the sharks have swum away!”
