I used to be an easily angry boy. But since I watched a TV report, I have changed a lot.
That evening, after doing my homework, I sat down to watch a report on TV. It said that two young boys were once good friends, but one day they fought each other just because of a joke between them. At that time both of them were too angry with each other, so one killed the other finally. The result for the two was so terrible. One was dead, far away from his family and his friends forever. The other was put into prison (监狱). All this happened just because of anger (愤怒).
Anger is a bad thing, which may cause some terrible things to happen, either to ourselves or to others around us. Being angry easily is not a good habit for a clever man.
As an article says, “We cannot change the way other people act, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.” Maybe smiling at others is the easiest way. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep an open mind. Having a friend is much better than having an enemy (敌人) after all!What kind of boy did the writer use to be?

The panda is one of the animals most in danger. There are about 1,000 pandas living in nature reserves today. Zoos and research centers look after about 160 pandas. Scientists are studying how they live and more baby pandas are born in the zoos.
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. They mainly live on bamboo, and each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different reasons, so pandas have less and less land to live on. Pandas don’t have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is becoming very serious.
Our government is working hard to save pandas. There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough. The government has made a new plan to help pandas. The nature reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow better. Then the pandas will have enough food to eat and enough places to live in. Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.
Most people love pandas. The panda is one of the best-known animals in the world. It is the symbol for the World Wide Fund for Nature. The WWF works to protect all animals in danger, so the panda has become the symbol of all animals in danger. There is still a long way to go to save the panda. Think of other animals in danger such as tigers ,whales, turtles and elephant—we need to save the panda, and we need to save them, too.Paragraph 2 is mainly about________.
