Two men were going through a forest.

“I am afraid,” said one, “that we may meet with wild animals” “Fear nothing, friend Quickwit,” cried the other, whose name was Braggart. “If they come at us, we shall stand by one another like men. I have a strong arm, a strong heart, and-”

“Hark!” cried the first in fear, as a low sound was heard from somewhere nearby, Braggart, who was light and nimble, climbed up a tree like a squirrel(松鼠), leaving his friend, who was not so active, to face the danger alone! Quickwit could do nothing but throw himself on the ground and pretended(假裝) to be dead; for he had heard that bears would never touch a dead body. In no time the bear camp up to him, sniffed(用鼻子吸氣) at him. Quickwit did not dare to move; and the bear, thinking him dead, went off into the wood again, leaving him quite unharmed!

When Braggart saw that the danger was over, he came down from the tree and tried to pass off the matter with a joke. “Well, my friend Quickwit,” he said, “what did the bear say to you when he put his mouth close to your ear?”

“He told me,” replied Quickwit, “never again to trust a man who talks big like you!”

Most of us have three meals a day .We take food for granted(想當(dāng)然)。And we don’t think about it. experts argue a food crisis(危機(jī))is coming.This crisis is going to make us the way we think about food.

Food is in great need a growing of world population.By 1960,the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050,this planet will need to at least nine billion people.As a result,the food prices get higher and higher.

So,what can a ,crowed world do?One suggestion is to eat less meat.Meat uses more natural resources(資源)than grains(谷物) .It requires more to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more water than vegetables. So ,eating less meat will more land for farming,and it will save water.

To eats less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be easy. Americans, for example,have loved meat. In general, They eat twice as much meat as people in other countries.At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years. will double again by 2050.Growing need of meat wil continue to put pressure on natural resources.

World population is increasing,resources are becoming fewer,and food prices are rising.Therefore, we need to rethink what we eat every day. For meat lovers, we don’t need to give up meat .But we need to eat more grains and less meat.

The first part of a new science-fiction series （系列劇）was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飛船）which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we’ll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.

Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea o fpeace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is ‘communicators’. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest manchine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different placein a second!

The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company （公司）will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!
