One evening Nasreddin heard a noise in his garden and looked out of the window. A white ox had got into the garden and was eating his vegetables. Nasreddin at once took his, ran out and chased the ox, but he was too old to catch it. When he got back to his garden, he found that the ox had ruined(毁坏)most of his precious vegetables.

    The next morning, while he was walking in the street near his house, he saw cart(运货车)with two white oxen whichthe one that had eaten his vegetables very much. He was carrying his stick with him, so he at once began to beat the two oxen with it. As neither of them looked more like the ox that had eaten his vegetables than the other, he beatof them equally hard. The owner of the oxen and the cart was drinking coffee in a nearby coffee-house. When he saw what Nasreddin was doing to his animals, heout and shouted, "What are you doing? What have those poor animals done to you for you to beat them like that?" "You keep out of this!" Nasreddin shouted back. This is a matter between me and one of these two oxen. He knows very well why I am beating him!"

    "Wild Man of Shennongjia (神农架)"has long been a mystery(神秘)to people Since the 1970s, many local people have claimed(声称)to have sighted the wild man in the area. From 1976 to 1981, the Chinese scientists had made three scientific expeditions(科学考察)during which they only found some indirect evidence. But recently Chinese scientists are again becoming excited the fact that a large hairy animal may live in central China, Now they hope it won't be too long before they are able to its existence(存在), Their confidence is the result of a new discovery of the mystery animal in Hubei Province.

    Ten Chinese engineers, enjoying a holiday in a National Forest Park, were driving down a road. As their bus turned a corner, the men were amazed by what they saw. Three tall animals, covered with long black hair, were crossing the road. On seeing the animals, the engineers immediately stopped and ran after them. However, when they saw how the animals movedwith great speed and strength, they did not dare to follow any further. The men did not take any photos.

    Milk is a favorite drink of people all around the world. Not only is it a popular drink, it is also used as an ingredient in cakes, puddings, sauces, and many other foods. Milk is very important for your health, but it takes many steps to bring milk from the farm to your table at home. Where does milk come from？

    Goats, camels, all llamas (美洲脆)produce milk that people drink. So do reindeer, sheep, and water buffalo. The type of milk you drink depends on where in the world you live. Most people drink milk that comes from special cows called dairy cattle. Most dairy cattle are black and white and they are raised in very sanitary(卫生的)conditions. People used to squeeze milk from cows by hand, but now milking machines are used. After milk leaves the cow, it has to be kept clean and cool, or else dangerous bacteria will grow quickly.

    Milk goes through many stages before you can drink it. First, it is put in a large tank where many tests are done. Next, it is cleaned in order to remove any dust, hair or dirt that is found.

    The milk production goes through five more important steps. First, milk is divided for different uses. Milk will become either regular milk, cream, butter, or other dairy produces. Milk is then heated to a very high temperature to kill any bacteria. This process, called pasteurization, is named for Louis Pasteur, the doctor who invented it.

    Next, any fat that may be in the milk is broken up evenly. This prevents the fat tram rising to the top. In the fourth step, important nutrients, such as vitamins and proteins, are added to the milk.

    Drinking milk is important for the good health of adults and children. Milk helps your body grow and develop and gives you energy. Drinking milk also helps prevent certain diseases. Important vitamins and minerals in milk make your bones stronger. Do you drink enough milk?
