Long long ago, there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons. The couple wanted a

daughter very much, and finally, they had a girl. She was very pretty and her parents loved her very

much. One day, the father needed water for the child, so he sent the seven brothers to a well (

井

) in

the forest to get it. When the boys got there, they began to fight and the water jug (

壶

) fell into the

well. The boys looked into the well and thought of their father. They were afraid to go home.

Hours passed. "Where are those boys?" shouted the angry father. "They are probably playing a

game and have forgotten about the water. I wish they were all turned into ravens (

乌鸦

) !"And when

he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away. The father was shocked. "What have I done?”

he thought. But it was too late. He could not take back(

收回

) his words.

Later, the girl grew up and found out she had brothers. The story of their bad luck influenced

her deeply, and she decided to find them. For years, she searched and did not stop. She made up her

mind to find them. Finally, she found their home. To enter, she needed a special key made from a

chicken bone, which she did not have. The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut

off one of her fingers. With it, she opened the front door and went inside. On a table, there were

seven plates and seven cups. She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she

accidently(

意外地

) dropped a ring that her parents had given her.

Later that day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched.

When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized(

认出

) it

at once—it was his parents' ring. "I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free. "

At that moment, their sister ran to them, and suddenly the ravens were human again. The brothers

kissed their sister and all eight of them went home together happily.

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a “lesson” in sorting(

分类

) garbage (

垃圾

) ,

as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations (

条例

). It’s now required that

people should sort garbage into four kinds, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste.

However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.

More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the

end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including

Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People’s Daily. According to a study, over 90 percent of the

public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However,

garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants(

受访者

) said they

think they are fully(

完全地

) sorting their rubbish. In the past, some

previous

garbage regulations

didn’t give clear fines(

罚款

) for people who failed to sort garbage. “It’s a must to have a legal

guarantee(

法律保障

) to improve garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua

University(

清华大学

), told China Daily.

B. Work hard and you will be happy.

D. Think carefully about what to say.

B. She hid behind a door.

D. She sat and waited for the ravens.

Also, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In

Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. There is a fixed time for treating each kind

of garbage, and littering(

乱扔垃圾

) can result(

导致

) in high fines and even prison time.

In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific kinds. In Berlin(

柏林

), there

are black bins for kitchen waste and brown bins for organic waste(

有机废物

), yellow bins for

plastic and metals(

金属制品

) and blue bins for paper and cardboard.

I have six brothers and sisters in my family. When I was young, each of us worked in my

father’s shop. We started working by doing small jobs like cleaning, tidying shelves and packing,

and later sold things to people after graduating(毕业). As we worked and watched, we learned that

work was about more than living and selling things.

One day, I was tidying the toy area. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was wearing

an old brown coat, and his hair and shoes were dirty. The boy looked poor to me--too poor to buy

anything. He looked around the toys, picked up some of them, and then put them back.

At that time, Dad walked over the boy. He smiled and asked the boy what he could do for

him. The boy said he was looking for a birthday present to buy for his brother. Dad told him to

take his time and look around. He did.

After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully pick up a toy plane, walked up to my father

and said: “How much for this, Sir?”

“How much do you have?”Dad asked.

The little boy held out his hand and opened it. He counted the coins and said“27 cents”. The

price of the toy plane was US$3.98.

“That was just about do it,” Dad said softly. Dad’s reply still rings in my ears. When the boy

walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the old coat and the dirty shoes. What I saw was a lovely

child with a treasure.
