I grew up in a small town. When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the in the school play. My mother helped me practice my lines for weeks. But once I stepped onto the stage, I was too nervous to the words. Finally, my teacher asked me to the role to a storyteller. I didn’t tell my mother had happened when I went home for lunch that day. She knew that I was from my look. She asked if I wanted to go for a walk in the yard.
It was a lovely day and the grass was turning green. We could see a lot of yellow dandelions(蒲公英)in the grass. I watched my mother walking towards a dandelion and it up by its roots(根茎). “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” she said. “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All are beautiful —— even dandelions!”
“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way. And that is true of too. Not everyone can be a princess. You will be a beautiful storyteller,” my mother said, reminding me of how much I to read stories to her. “The storyteller’s part is just as as the part of a princess.”
The big day came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher handed me a . I looked at it and thought of our talk. It made me .
After the play, I took the flower home, and kept it in our family dictionary.

A thousand years ago Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to 31 in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 32 forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.
Elephants, tigers and many 33 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 34 began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 35 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed 36 to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. 37 did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon 38 in the same way.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong 39 in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different animals 40 there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals 41 a rich brown coat and a white patch (补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet 42 . They make a noise rather like a dog 43 . In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy-- 44 . People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important 45 people to protect wild animals.
