Answer 1

The Old Cat
An 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."

Sleepless City——不眠之城

Our family was dazzled by the sights and the bustling crowds during a visit to Manhattan. "This is the city that never sleeps," I told my eleven-year-old daughter.

　　"That's probably because there's a Starbucks on every corner," she observed.
一次，在曼哈顿参观，看着高楼大厦林立，人群熙熙攘攘，我和家人是眼花撩乱。“这是一个不眠之城”，我告诉我那11岁的女儿。

　　“这可能是因为每个街口都有一家星巴克”，她说。
