Which animal do you think is "the king of the animals", the elephant, the lion or the tiger? They are all
large and strong. But I think the tiger is "the king of the animals". If you watch carefully, you can find some
black lines on the tiger"s forehead (前额). The lines look like the Chinese word "WANG". The word
means "the king of the world" in Chinese.

Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every
day. Maybe those who don"t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a
survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising (早起) people had less
disease (疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people,
and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all
need fresh (新鲜的) air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do
morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good
plan.
Fourthly; early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and
faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit (养成习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort
(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy,
wealthy (富裕的) and wise. "

| In the 13th century, the famous Indian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. He saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don"t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and refuse (拒绝)it later. Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late. | ||
