给你三篇,你选一篇吧.The Old CatAn old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."【译文】老猫一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.【译文】一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。The City Mouse and the Country MouseOnce there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."【译文】城里老鼠和乡下老鼠从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。 ”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。

小学，内容温馨一点：My Family Everyone has a family. We live in it and feel very warm. There are three persons in my family, my mother, father and I. We live together very happily and there are many interesting stories about my family. My father is a hard-working man. He works as a doctor. He always tries his best to help every, patient and make patients comfortable. But sonetimes he works so hard that he can't remember the date. My mother is a woman with a bad memory. She always does a lot of housework, but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness. For example, one day, she washed clothes in the washer, after the washer finished the work, she found she hadn't filled the washer with water. Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day, father wanted to get up early as usual, buthe wasn't able to do that, because he hadn't set the alarm clock the night before, so when he got up, he did everything in a hurry. After father left, mother said to me mysteriously, "He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised. "Because today is Sunday, his holiday!" Just as mother said, father came back home soon, and went to bed again--he was too tired. You see, what an interesting family have! I hope that you will have one like mine, too.初中组：关于读书，内容自己可以删减一点。One of the most popular hobbies among people is reading books.

this is the Health Report.这里是健康报道!A popular expression goes, “What does not kill us makes us stronger.” But when it comes to being bullied, that may not be the case.当下很流行的一句话是“那些打不倒我们的困难会使我们更强”。但是当我们总是受到欺负的时候，情况却不是如此了!Increasing evidence suggests that the effects of being bullied do not end with childhood. The psychological and physical damage, such as anxiety and depression, can continue into adulthood.越来越多的证据表明，受到他人的欺凌产生的影响并不会随着童年时期的结束而结束。它对人心理和生理产生的危害，比如焦虑和抑郁的情绪会持续到成年时期。A recent Duke University report shows that bullying can have permanent effects.杜克大学最近的一项研究表明受欺凌会对人产生永久的影响。The report is based on research that began in 1993. The Great Smoky Mountains study observed 1,420 children from western North Carolina for years. The scientists followed the people as they went through childhood to teen years and into young adulthood.这项报告是基于从1993年开始的研究得来的。大烟山研究观察了1420名来自北卡罗来纳州西部的儿童很多年。科学家记录他们从童年到青少年并且步入成年的。The research showed that those who were bullied can develop long-term mental health problems as young adults. It also showed that adults who were bullied as children have higher levels of C-reactive protein, or CRP. CRP is a sign of nervous tension on the body. Higher levels of CRP usually mean health problems later in life.研究表明那些在年少时受过欺负的人在步入成年早期的时候会长期遇到精神方面的问题。另外也表明他们有更高水平的高敏c反应蛋白或者简称CRP。CRP是身体神经紧张的迹象。较高的CRP通常意味着之后会产生健康问题。The Great Smoky Mountains study also found something completely new about bullying. It seems that the bullies were healthier than the bullied – at least when talking about CRP levels. The study found that those subjects who had never been bullied, but had bullied others, had the lowest levels of CRP.大烟山研究也发现一些关于受欺凌的崭新的观点。似乎看来那些欺负人的人比受欺负的人更加健康，至少在CRP水平方面是这样的。研究发现那些从来没受到欺凌，但是却欺负过别人的人CRP水平最低。William Copeland led the study.

He says a higher social standing for bullies might explain their lower CRP levels.William Copeland领导这项研究。他是北卡罗来纳州杜克大学医疗中心精神病学和行为科学系的专家。他表示欺负人的人的更高的社会地位可能能解释他们的CRP低水平。Experts on bullying worry about that message. Catherine Bradshaw is deputy director of the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence in Baltimore, Maryland. She warns that lower CRP levels might just represent a difference in the' basic biology. Ms. Bradshaw says that a health gain should not be understood as permission to bully.这项研究的专家们对研究结果表示担忧。Catherine Bradshaw是马里兰州位于巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯大学预防青少年暴力中心的副主任。她警告说低水平的CRP可能仅代表基础生物学的一个差异。Bradshaw女士表示健康的增益不应被理解为允许欺负。Mr. Copeland says bullying is a serious childhood experience that is no longer found only at schools and on playgrounds. Online or cyberbullying can make even a child’s home feel unsafe. Some children who are bullied have killed themselves. Sometimes bullies even kill their victims.Copeland先生表示受欺负是童年时期一个非常糟糕的经历，这不仅发生在学校和运动场。在线或者网络欺凌可以使孩子们感到甚至家里也没那么安全。一些受过欺凌的孩子选择自杀。有时甚至杀死他们的受害者。Mexico’s president is dealing with such a tragedy now. A 12-year old boy died last month a week after he was physically bullied at school.墨西哥总统日前就在处理这样的一个悲剧事件。一个12岁的男孩上个月自杀了，巧合的是一周前他在学校受到毒打。The family of Hector Alejandro Mendez Ramirez say that bullies threw the boy into a wall.

my favour cartoon is Tom and Jerry. I've been watching it since i was a child and i still love it now. it is a great cartoon i think. the stories happen between the two main characters Tom and Jerry are very intersting. Tom is a cat who is always trying its best to catch the little mouse that lives with him in the same house --- Jerry. however, Jerry is very smart and he can always work out some ways to escape from Tom's consipiracies, and even sometimes, tricks Tom. i think it is funny to watch their stories. and as now the older i get, i realise that Tom and Jerry are not enemies, they are friends, even like best friends to each other, friends that always make fun on each other but will always be with you no matter what.追加分数啊~~!! =) 哈哈

---------------------------------------------- A Noble Gift One of the most famous monuments in the world, the statue of libery, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteeth century bu the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of NewYork Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886 the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great mounment has been a symbol of liberty for the millons of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.
