How a Colt Crossed the River
One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill. As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.
The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! You’ll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum.
He told his mum his experience on the way. His mother said, “My child, don’t always listen to others. You’d better go and try yourself. Then you’ll know what to do.” Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, it’s too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully.
You see, real knowledge comes from practice.
中文翻译：
小马过河
一天，一匹小马驮着麦子去磨坊。当它驮着口袋向前跑去时，突然发现一条小河挡住了去路。小马为难了，这可怎么办呢？它向四周望了望，看见一头奶牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛阿姨，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗？”奶牛回答说：“水很浅，刚到膝盖。”
小马正准备过河，突然从树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河！你会被淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就在这条河里淹死啦！”小马不知如何是好，于是决定回家问问妈妈。
小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦？”小马说：“让我自己试试吧。”他一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。
这下明白了吧，实践才能出真知

Though different educational systemd have different purpose, one thing is certain: all students should take part in examination.
In the English educational system, students take three important exams.....

(虽然不同的教育制度目的各不相同，但是有有点必须肯定的，所有学生都必须参加考试，
在英国的教育体系里，学生们必须参加三次重要的考试。。。。。)
累不累的啊，不打了，，，哈哈，，我也无聊呢，，

A man was selling medicines at a fair. At first he sold bottles of a cure for colds for just a dollar a bottle. Many people wanted to buy it and the man's young assistant moved quickly through the crowd collecting money and handing out bottles of the cold cure. Then, when he had a big crowd, the man held up a very small bottle. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, " he shouted. "here is the medicine you have been waiting for. The cure for old age. Drink just one bottle of this and you will live forever."
"And, ladies and gentlemen," the man continued, "I'm not going to charge you a hundred dollars a bottle for this wonderful medicine. I'm not going to charge you fifty dollars a bottle. I'm not going
to charge you twenty4ive dollars a bottle. No, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to charge you just ten dollars a bottle. Think, my friends, for ten dollars you can live forever."
Most of the people in the crowd did not believe this. One person shouted, "if it will make you live forever, why don't you drink it?" Then another person cried , "Yes, you look as if you're at least sixty years old. "
"Thank you, sir, thank you," the man replied, "I'm so glad you said that. My real age is three hundred and twenty nine. " The crowd laughed at this but there were still a few people who wanted to believe the man. One of them spoke to the man's assistant as she passed by. "Is that true," he asked, "that he's three hundred and twenty-nine?"
“Don't ask me," the assistant said, "I've only worked for him for a hundred and fifty years."

长生不老
一人在集市卖药。起先他卖一美元一瓶的治感冒的药。很多人想买药，那人的年轻助手迅速穿行于人群中，一边收钱，一边递药。然后当围观的人多起来时，那人举起一个小瓶子。“听着，女士们，先生们，”那人喊道，“这就是你们一直想要的药。消除衰老的药。只吃一瓶，就会长生不老。”
“女士们，先生们，”那人接着说道，“对这种神奇的药，我不打算卖一瓶100 美元。我不打算卖一瓶50 美元，我也不打算卖一瓶25美元。我只打算卖一瓶10 美元。想想吧，朋友们，只花10 美元，你们就能长生不老。”
人群中大多数人不相信他的话。一人喊道：“如果这药能使人长生不老，你为什么不吃？”
接着另一人叫道：“是哇，你看上去至少60 岁。”“谢谢，先生，谢谢，”那人回答，“我很高兴你这么说。我的实际年龄是329 岁。”
听到他的话，人群中发出一阵笑声，但仍有几个人愿意相信他的话。其中一人当那个助手经过时问她，“他已329 岁了，这是真的吗？”他问。
“别问我，”助手说，“我只为他工作了150 年。”

The English language is different from any other language. Yet English words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other language. “Tomato”was borrowed from Mexico, the word “coffee”came from Turkey, and “tea”came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too.
New words are also made by adding two words together. “Postman”and “grandfather”are words made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word“photo”was made from photograph by cutting off the front part.“Smog”was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words“smoke”and “fog”.
The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named “Sandwich”.Scotch tape and jelly were names made up by the companies that first made the products.
英语和其他任何语言都不同，英语单词也不是一成不变的。英语一只在变化之中。我们有的新的发明新的观点就需要新的词汇。不同的词汇开始被使用，或是旧词新用。
英语通过借用其他语言的词汇达到改变的目的。“西红柿”一词是借用墨西哥语。“咖啡”一词是来自土耳其语。“茶”一词来自中国。现在新的空间科学词汇正从其他国家借来。
新词的产生还有一种方式就是结合两个词。Postman”和“grandfather”就是两部分组成的。有时候新词是比旧词短。photo一词是去掉photograph的前部分得到的。Smog”是分别保留smoke”和 “fog前两个和后两个字母得到的；
人名和产品名可以变成新词，三明治是以一个叫Sandwich的人命名的。透明胶盒果冻是以第一个生产这样产品的公司命名的

写清楚
