Chinese textbook of Beijing Normal University, Grade 6, Unit 5, Volume 2, for all the contents! I forgot my book!

Spear and shield: Chu people with shields and spears have a reputation: "My shield is so strong that nothing can sink." He praised his spear and said, "The benefits of my spear are all trapped in things." Or, "What about a child's spear and a trapped child's shield?" He has the ability to respond.

Fighting between snipe and clam: the clam is exposed, the snipe pecks at its meat, and the clam closes its mouth. The snipe said, "If it doesn't rain today, there will be dead mussels tomorrow!" " The clam is also called the snipe: "If you don't come out today, you will die tomorrow!" The two refused to give up. Fishermen get what they want and birds eat it.

Friends of the little scribe [Italy]

/kloc-souriau, a 0/2-year-old boy with black hair and white Sulio, is a fifth-grade primary school student. His father is a railway clerk, and there are several children younger than Sulio. This family lives in poverty, and there is always not enough money. The father didn't feel burdensome because of the large number of children, but just indulged blindly. He likes Syrio best, but he doesn't relax at all about his lessons. He hopes that his son will graduate early and find a better job to support his family.

Father is old, and his face looks old, because he has been working hard. The life of the whole family is on his shoulders. He works on the railway during the day and receives copies of documents from other places at night. Every night, he stays at his desk late. Recently, a magazine asked him to write a label for subscribers, which was written in large print and paid 60 cents for every 500 labels. This work is very hard. Old people often complain to their families when eating: "My eyes seem to be broken. This night shift will shorten my life! "

One day, Sulio said to his father, "Father! Let me write it for you. I can write as well as you. "

But my father refused anyway: "Don't. You should study hard. Homework is your big deal, even for an hour, I don't want to take up your time. "

Knowing his father's temper, Sellyew stopped asking questions and only secretly tried to find a way. Every night, he didn't hear his father stop working until midnight and go back to the bedroom. Several times, as soon as twelve o'clock struck, I heard the sound of the chair dragging backwards, followed by the footsteps of my father gently returning to the bedroom. One night, after his father went to bed, Sulio got up, dressed quietly, crept into the house where his father was writing and lit the oil lamp. There was a blank piece of paper and a magazine subscriber list on the box, so Sellyew picked up a pen and wrote it down in imitation of his father's handwriting, feeling happy and worried. After writing for a while, my notes gradually accumulated, so I put down my pen and rubbed my hands to refresh myself before writing. I smiled with a pen and listened to the movement with my ears sideways, for fear that my father would get up and see me. I wrote 160 articles worth 20 cents. I just stopped, put my pen back, put out the light and climbed back into bed to sleep.

At lunch the next day, my father was very happy and patted Sulio on the shoulder and said, "Hey! Souriau. Your father is really not old! Three hours of work last night was one third more than usual. Hands are still flexible and eyes are not spent. "

Syrio didn't say anything, but she was happy. He thought, "Dad doesn't know that I wrote it for him, but he doesn't think he is old. All right! Just do it! "

It was twelve o'clock that night, and Sulio was still getting up and working. After several days, my father still didn't know. Only once, at dinner, my father said, "How strange! Recently, lamp oil has suddenly become a lot more expensive. " Syrio smiled. Fortunately, my father didn't say anything else. He got up every night to copy.

Because souriau gets up every night, she gradually lacks sleep. She feels very tired in the morning and dozes off after reviewing at night. One night, souriau fell asleep at his desk for the first time in his life.

"Ah! Heart! Heart! Do your homework! " Father clapped his hands and shouted. Sellyew, open your eyes. Study hard. But the next night, the third night, I dozed off again, and it became more and more serious: I fell asleep in a book, or woke up in the morning, and I always looked tired when reviewing my lessons, as if I were tired of my lessons. Seeing this situation, my father paid attention to him many times and finally got angry, although he never scolded his children. One morning, his father said to him:

"Syria Leo! You are so sorry for me! Aren't you different from before? Watch out! All the hopes of the family rest on you. Do you know? "

Souriau was scolded for the first time in her life, and it was very uncomfortable. I thought to myself, "yes, that kind of thing won't last long. It has to stop."

At dinner that day, dad said happily. "Listen! I earned six dollars and forty cents more this month than last month. " He took out a bag of fruit from the drawer of the dining table and said it was for his family to celebrate. The children clapped their hands and cheered, so Sulio pulled himself together and recovered a lot, saying to himself, "Alas! Let's keep doing it. Work more during the day. Work at night. " The father went on to say, "Six dollars and forty cents! Although this is good, only this child-"said and pointed to Sulio:" He really makes me sad! " Sulio was scolded silently, holding back his tears, but he felt very happy in his heart.

Since then, Syrio has worked hard, but he is more tired than tired. After all, it is difficult to support. After two months, my father still scolded him and became more and more worried about his face. One day, my father went to school to visit my husband and discuss Syrio with him. Mr. Wang said, "Yes, it's good to get good grades because he is very smart. But I'm not as enthusiastic as before. I always yawn every day, as if I were going to sleep. My mind can't concentrate on my lessons. When asked to write a composition, he just wrote a little, and even if the font is scribbled, he can do better. "

That night, my father called Sellyew to his side and said to Sellyew with a more severe attitude than usual:

"Syria Leo! Do you know how tired I am to support my family? Don't you know? I am risking my life for you! You don't think about anything, and you don't care about your parents and brothers! "

"ah! Not really! Please don't say that! Father! " Syria Leo said with tears. He was about to tell what had happened when his father stopped him again:

"You should know the situation at home. You should know that a family must work hard to support it. Didn't I work so hard to double my work? I thought I could get a bonus of 20 yuan from the railway bureau this month, and I didn't know that the money was hopeless until today. "

Syria Leo hear the word of the roll to hold, the in the mind repeatedly said:

"oh! Forget it. I've been hiding it and helping your dad. I am sorry for my father's place, and make up for it from another side. You must work hard to pass the school courses, but the most important thing is to help your father bring home the bacon and relieve his fatigue a little. Right, right. "

Two months have passed. My son continued to work at night and was exhausted during the day. My father was still angry when he saw him. The most painful thing is that his father is getting colder and colder to him. It seems that his son is too disloyal and hopeless. He doesn't talk to him much, or even wants to see him. When Sulio saw this scene, his heart was very painful. When his father turned his back on him, he almost bent down from behind. Sadness and fatigue made him weaker, paler and less diligent. He himself knows that he must stop working at night. Every night when he goes to bed, he often says to himself, "From tonight on, I really won't get up in the middle of the night." However, by twelve o'clock, I suddenly relaxed my previous determination, as if I could not sleep. I just evaded my obligation and stole twenty cents from my family. I couldn't stand it anymore, but I got up. He thought that one day his father would get up and see him, or he happened to find what he had done while counting the papers. Although I don't declare it then, my dad will naturally know. With this idea, he went on working night after night.

One day at dinner, my mother felt that Sellyew's face was worse than usual and said:

"Syria Leo! You're not sick, are you? " And he said to her husband,

"Syria Leo somehow, you see his face is blue-Syria Leo! What's wrong with you? " You seem sad when you say it.

Father glanced at Sellyew: "Even if he was ill, he deserved it. He is not like this when he studies hard. "

"But, you! Isn't it because he is ill? " Hearing his mother say this, his father replied:

"I have left him alone!"

Sellyew was heartbroken. Father left him alone! A father who worries too much even when coughing! Father really doesn't love him, he is no longer in his eyes! "ah! Father! I can't live without your love! Anyway, please don't say that. I will tell you one by one, and I won't lie to you again. As long as you love me again, no matter what, I will study hard as before. Ah! I really made up my mind this time! "

Sellyew's determination remains unchanged. That night, due to the power of habit, I got up by myself. After getting up, I want to be the last line to come to work in a few months. I went in and lit the lamp. When I saw the blank note on the table, I was a little sad that I would never write again, so I couldn't help but hold the pen and start writing again. When I was doing it manually, I suddenly knocked over a book. At that time, the whole body's blood was suddenly concentrated in my heart: what if dad woke up; This is not a bad thing, and it doesn't matter if it is found. I have explained it many times. But if my father wakes up now, walks out and sees me, how will my mother be surprised? Besides, if my dad finds out now, I don't know if he will regret and be ashamed of what he has done to me in recent months! -there are many things, one after another, which makes Syria shudder. He pricked up his ears and held his breath. There was no sound. The family slept quietly, and then he went back to work with peace of mind. There was the sound of police boots outside the door, and the sound of horses' hooves fading away. After a while, another truck ran over it. Since then, everything has remained silent, except the barking of dogs in the distance from time to time. Syrio wrote with a pen, and the sound of the pen tip reached his ears.

In fact, at this time, my father has stood behind him. Father woke up when he fell from the book and waited for a long time. The sound of the truck passing mixed with the sound of his father opening the door. Now, my father has entered there, and his white-haired head is leaning over souriau's little black head, watching the movement of the pen. My father suddenly understood everything in the past, and his chest was full of infinite regret and love, standing there like a nail.

Suddenly, Sulio felt someone holding his head with a trembling wrist, and suddenly he thought, "Ah!" Cried loudly. And listening to his father's sobs, cried and said:

"father! Forgive me! Forgive me! "

The father kissed his son's face with tears:

"But you must forgive me! Got it! Everything is clear! I'm sorry! Come on! " Said, and held his son to his mother's bedside, and put his son into his mother's arms:

"Kiss the child! Poor thing! He hasn't slept for four months, working for his family! I will scold him like this! "

Holding the child in her arms, the mother could hardly speak: "Baby! Go to sleep! "

Sullio fell asleep with fatigue. I have had a good sleep for several months, and even dream happily until today. When I woke up, the sun had risen very high. Suddenly I found my father's white-haired head lying across the bed, close to my chest. It turned out that this was how my father spent that night. He put his forehead close to his son's chest and still slept there.

The Secret of Nature I came to the Galapagos Islands in the South Pacific with seven traveling companions and a biologist guide. There are many nests of Pacific green turtles used to hatch baby turtles on this island. One purpose of our trip is to observe on the spot how the baby turtles leave their nests and enter the sea.

The weight of Pacific green turtle is about 150kg, and the young turtle is less than its 1%. Generally speaking, young turtles scramble to climb into the sea to nest in April and May. It's just that it takes a long beach to get from the turtle nest to the sea. If you are not careful, they may become food for carnivorous birds such as seagulls.

When we went to the island that day, it was near dusk and we soon found a big turtle nest. Suddenly, a little turtle first poked its head out of its nest, but he wanted to stop, as if to see if it was safe outside. Just as the little turtle hesitated, a mocking eagle suddenly came. It pecked the baby turtle on the head with its beak and tried to pull it to the beach.

My companion and I watched the scene nervously, and one of them anxiously said to the guide, "You have to do something!" " "The guide casually replied," take it. This is the natural way. "

The coldness of the guide led to a discussion of "never being destroyed" among his companions. Reluctantly, the tour guide picked up the baby turtle and took it to the sea. When the robin sees the delicious food it has, it can only fly away in despair.

However, what happened next shocked everyone. Shortly after the guide carried the young turtles away, groups of young turtles filed out of the nest. Facts soon made it clear to us that we had done a stupid thing.

The first little turtle to come out turned out to be the "scouts" of the turtles. Once in danger, it will return to the turtle's nest. Now the little turtle is taken to the sea by the guide. The young turtles in the nest got the wrong message and thought it was safe outside, so they rushed out together.

On the island at dusk, the sun is still shining. From the turtle nest to the beach, there was no shelter, and hundreds of young turtles came out in droves, which soon attracted many carnivorous birds. They can really have a good meal.

"Oh, my God?" I heard someone behind me say, "Look what we have done?"

At this time, dozens of young turtles have become food for mockingbirds, seagulls and boobies. Our guide quickly took off the baseball cap on his head, quickly grabbed a few small turtles, put them in his hat and ran to the beach. We followed his example and ran back and forth panting, which was a remedy for our mistakes.

After all this, dozens of birds of prey were full and let out a cheerful cry, which resounded through the sky. Two robins are still standing quietly on the beach, hoping to catch the last lost turtle to cook.

My companion and I walked slowly on the beach with our heads down. It seems that among this group of mortals, everything is silent. Finally, the guide sighed, "If it weren't for us humans, these turtles wouldn't be hurt at all."

Man is the soul of the universe. However, if people are smart, everything may be the opposite.

I saw the sea.

I am a deformed girl. My mother hates me and embarrasses her. She is afraid that I will be laughed at when I go out. Before I was eight years old, she never let me step out of the house. All I have is a sky in the yard, a group of fleeting birds.

At the age of eight, my father died. Soon, my mother remarried to a retired sailor in a small town. At that time, my mother was only in her early forties, and my stepfather was almost sixty.

My stepfather asked me to call him "uncle" and said to me, "Come, He Zi, my uncle will show you around."

"no! No! " I flinched in fear.

"Go outside and have a look, He Zi. There are many interesting things outside. "

I was tempted, but I was worried, so I said to him, "I walk with a limp, and my mother said people would laugh at me." Besides, she said I was too ugly ... "I couldn't help crying.

"Don't worry, He Zi. Whoever laughs at you, I will-"My stepfather raised his hand and made a beating action, which made me smile through tears.

The next day, my stepfather took me to the street. Seeing so many people for the first time in my life is really scary. I shyly lowered my head, grabbed my stepfather's skirt with both hands and followed him closely, just like his tail.

"He Zi, look up, don't be afraid!" The stepfather said loudly. His loud voice immediately attracted the attention of many people. What are the children my age talking about?

Stepfather greeted them kindly: "hey, little guys, come and meet them." This is He Zi, your little friend He Zi. "

So, they came over, asked friendly questions and invited me to play with them.

When winter came, my stepfather suffered from severe asthma. When I was lying in bed, I sat in front of the fire and listened to his story about the sea: "The sea is blue, as blue as the sky;" Sea water is salty; The sea is big and deep; There are fish in the sea, big fish and small fish; There are ships, big ships and small boats at sea ... "

I was fascinated and asked, "Can I see the sea?"

"yes! When you are older and fifteen, I will take you to see the sea. "

I grew up year by year, grew taller and learned a lot. My stepfather stipulated that I should do a difficult housework every day. At that time, the school didn't accept deformed children. My stepfather was a teacher himself and asked me to learn five new words and recite a text every day. The rest of the time, my stepfather will tell stories about the sea that he will never tell.

My mother was seriously ill and left me alone with my stepfather.

My stepfather is getting worse and worse, but he still drags me around and encourages me to go shopping and do housework alone. Every time he did something he couldn't do before, his stepfather was ecstatic and praised him again and again: "You are really capable, He Zi!" "It's like I did something earth-shattering.

We set the day of seeing the sea as the summer of the following year, when I will be fifteen years old. Stepfather said that everything I am doing now is to prepare for seeing the sea. I must learn to cope with everything before I see the sea. I also work harder and look forward to the day when I am fifteen.

The long winter is really hard! Stepfather has been ill in bed. I walked around the town alone, calling him a doctor, buying medicine and taking on all the housework. I feel really grown up.

One spring morning, my stepfather called me to the bed and said slowly, "He Zi, I'm going to die. I have to tell you one thing: the doctor told me long ago that I have allergic asthma and must stay away from the ocean. Actually, I can't take you to see the sea. Please forgive me. "

At that time, I felt very disappointed and wronged: I made preparations for so many years, but it turned out to be a scam! I cried sadly.

A few days later, my stepfather passed away quietly. I lost the only family in the world. Now, I, a deformed girl, have to live alone.

I walked alone in downtown. I do housework skillfully. I am entrusted by my neighbor to look after her children and get living expenses from her every month. Then one day, I suddenly remembered what my stepfather said about "watching the sea" and understood the meaning of "watching the sea". I stood in front of my stepfather's portrait countless times and whispered to him, "Uncle, I saw the sea, really, I saw it ..."
