“Which one of you did this?” our father asked the three of us with a sharp voice. My elder brother, sister and I all stared down at the floor, on which was a child’s handwriting in chalk. I was frightened, and the only words that came from my mouth were, “Not me, Dad.” It wasn’t that I was a bad kid, but the look on my dad’s face made me feel cold.
Father had a way about him when I was a child that made me afraid of him, but it gave me my limits to what I could and could not do. He loved all of us and we respected him. I wanted to please him, of course. Maybe that’s why I held back the truth that day.
He disappeared for minutes and came back with a piece of paper and a pencil and said, “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the floor.” I was not a foolish kid, though. So when my dad compared the handwriting, he still couldn’t tell which one of us did it.
“Since none of you seemed to have done it, you all get a spanking,” said my father angrily. What?! The last thing I wanted was a spanking! “I did it,” someone said and I was sure it wasn’t me.
I looked around and saw my sister come forward. By that time, I had already figured out why my sister took the rap for it. She was my protector, though she was only three years older than me. And she would rather take the pain herself than see me suffer.
We all joke about it now, including my sister. When I think back to that day, I know I learned the value of a sister who would do anything for me. And I’m glad to say that I will do the same for her.

One thing we love about soup is that it's easy to make and it only needs a few simple
ingredients. Here are four of our favorite, simple homemade soups. Enjoy! （1）. Chicken Soup Chicken soup can help fight a cold. You can prepare your soup using a whole chicken or
just thin pieces of chicken. Do either of them－although a whole chicken is likely to make your
soup more delicious. The main ingredients are：chicken, water, onions, carrots, celery(芹菜),
salt, pepper and noodles. （2）. White Bean Soup
There are many types of beans to choose from. It’s simply a matter of personal taste. Dried
beans are more traditional and cost less. However, canned beans also work. The other main
ingredients are: onions, tomatoes and carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste. （3）. French Onion Soup
When you get French onion soup in a restaurant, it might look a bit difficult to make. The
hardest part is cutting up all those onions. Get ready for a good cry! The main ingredients are:
six sweet onions, butter, water and salt. （4）. Garden Vegetable Soup In summer, you may find yourself with a lot of vegetables that need using up. Throw in potatoes, rice or even some meat with the vegetables. The best thing about this soup is that you can put in whatever you want.

Hobbs was an orphan. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard
work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures,

If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.” “Here is the reading of your uncle’s will,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death.

Some call it Petra. Others call it Black Peter. But everyone in Germany agrees on one thing — Petra or Black Peter is an unusual black swan (天鹅).
The story begins when Petra or Black Peter fell in love with a pedal boat shaped like a swan. This happened at Aesee Lake in Munster City. The black swan had been brought to the lake last year. It was an attraction, as the swans in Germany are white.
Soon the bird started circling the white pedal boat. It would stare long at it and make soft noises. It would also hoot (鸣叫) angrily at whoever came near the boat, fearing they would harm it. Biologists say this is how swans in love behave. As the lake froze in winter, the black swan refused to do what it is supposed to do — migrate to where rivers and lakes are not frozen, so it could find food. There was no way the pedal boat could fly with it. If the swan had remained on the frozen lake, death would have been its only end. Luckily, officials of the local zoo made space for the black swan and its beloved pedal boat in a sheltered pond. Winter has ended and the couple are back on Aesee Lake. The number of people who want to have a picnic on the lake has risen greatly. In this German city when people think of charming love stories, they now think of the black swan.
But the biologists are worried. Swans are known to choose only one partner in their lifetime. But they hope that this Australian bird falls in love again with a real swan so it can have a family life.
15. The black swan was brought to Aesee Lake for the purpose of ________. A. offering it a better and more comfortable life B. attracting more picnicking people to the lake C. letting Germans know about another kind of swan D. helping it f000000000000000ind a suitable partner
16. Which of the following is NOT something that a swan in love will do?
A. Staring at the partner for a long time. B. Making soft noises. C. Getting angry more easily. D. Protecting the partner from any possible danger.
17. When cold winter comes, the usual thing for swans to do is to __________. A. find enough food for the winter B. stay in a warm sheltered place C. turn to humans for help D. fly to an area with warmer weather 18. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Australian black swan settles in Germany. B. Black swan falls in love with a pedal boat.
C. The fate of a black swan worries German people. D. A love story between two swans.
