One day a man bought a lot of coconuts(椰子)and put them all on his horse.He was moving them to his (81) (friend) house.On the way,the man met a boy.
"How long would it take to get to the house?"he asked the boy.
"If you go (82) (slow),"the boy said,"you will get there very soon.But if you go fast,it will take you all day."
"What a funny reply!"said the man.He did not listen to the boy.He made his horse run as fast as possible.Some coconuts fell off.He had to stop(83) (pick) them up.Then he made his horse run fast again.But the coconuts fell off again,and he(84) (stop) again.He did this many(85) (time),and it was night when he finally got to the place.
Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors?Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫),but birds can't easily catch them.Why?It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops.When crops are green,locusts look green.But as the harvest time comes,locusts change to the same brown color as crops have.Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others,so they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life,you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves.Bears,lions and other animals move quickly through the forest.They cannot be easily seen by hunters.This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange fact?A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体)when it faces danger.While the liquid spreads over,its enemies cannot find it.And it immediately swims away.So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

One pleasant New﹣year morning,Edward's father gave him two bright,new silver dollars.He had wishes for a long time to buy some new books.
As he ran down the street to the bookstore,he saw a poor German family,the father,mother and three children walking in the cold wind.
"I wish you a happy New Year."said Edward,as he was happily passing on.The man shook his head,for he could not understand or speak English.But he pointed to his mouth,and to the children,as if to say,"These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time."
Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble.He took out his dollars,and gave one to the man,and the other to his wife.
When Edward came home,his father asked what books he had bought."I have bought no books,"said he,"I gave my money to some poor people,who seemed to be very hungry and tired.I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.""My dear boy,"said his father,"here are some books.I give them to you,more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New﹣year gift."
"Always be ready to help people around you every year of your life will be a HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

GPS,which means Global Positioning System,is a small radio receiver.It looks like a mobile phone.You can hold it in your hand,or put it in your pocket.It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone.We also find GPS devices in cars,planes,or boats.Some of these devices have electronic maps,so you know where you are.For example,in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
