    Last week, scientists said they discovered a new birdlike dinosaur. With feathers, a beak (鸟嘴) and long legs, it looked pretty funny. This kind of dinosaur was 3 meters (10 feet) long, and it was higher than most humans. It also had sharp claws (爪子).

    Fossil hunters dug out the bones of this species in a rocky place of southwest North Dakota. The scientists nicknamed this dinosaur the "Chicken from Hell". They also gave it a more formal name: Anzu Wyliei. Anzu was a mythical (神秘的) fire-breathing bird. Wylie is the dinosaur-loving grandson of a man who supports the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pa. Scientists at that museum were part of the team that told the new dinosaur in a paper published on March 19 in the journal PLOS ONE. "The Anzu dinosaur is based on a surprisingly nice specimen(样品), and past digs turned up this animal," a scientist told Science News for Students.

A river ran down from a mountain through many villages and forests. Then it (arrive) at a desert. "I went through so many  (problem). I should have no trouble crossing the desert, she thought. As she started, she found herself disappearing (slow) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.

this time, a deep voice said, "If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river." It wasvoice of the desert. But the river answered, "That's because a breeze can fly, but I can't."

"That's because you can't give up you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze and you can cross the desert easily," said the desert.

"Give up what I am now? No! No!" the river (agree)with this idea." The breeze can carry the vapour  (cross) the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again, "said the desert. "And whether you're a river or vapour, your nature(本性) never changes.

After (hear) this, the river didn't feel . (frighten). It went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

    Many years ago I studied in a university in the biggest city in our country. It's beautiful but it's hot in summer. So I usually went back to my 1 when my summer holiday began. It is a small village but it's cool and quiet. I could study in the daytime and have a good sleep at night.

    One day I had some problems to solve. But I didn't take the 2 home. My father told me Charlie, one of my classmates, had a library. I went to his house at once. We didn't see each other after I 3 middle school. At first he didn't recognize(认出) me. He 4 me up and down. And then he called out, "oh, dear! It's you, Fred!"

    Of course we were 5 to meet each other again and talked a lot about our classmates and teachers. Later on he showed me around his library. It wasn't big but there were a lot of nice books in it. And the dictionaries I 6 were in them. At last I said, "7 you lend some dictionaries to me, please?"

    "I'm sorry I don't lend anything in my library to 8," said the young man.

    " Are you afraid I'll lose them?"

    " No, I'm not. I'm afraid you won't 9 them to me. Look! All the books here are not 10, but borrowed!"

    What is the hottest topic at your school recently? A middle school in Hangzhou held an activity called "making money" last weekend. About 200 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into（被分成）30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.

    What did they choose（选择）to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally-friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets. Hu Qing's team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. "We played hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning" said Hu. "Finally we had to give up（放弃）."

    Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn't meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying "For Country Kids". It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. "He didn't want any change. He said he wanted to help the children," said Wang. "We were touched." Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the "Project Hope" office.

    Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. "It was not easy to make the money," said Meng. "Some people just looked. Others just tasted, but didn't buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make the money we need to lead happy lives."
