5．Once upon a time，there was an island where all the feelings lived：Happiness，Sadness，Knowledge，and all of the others，including Love．One day the feelings were told that the island would sink，so all built boats and left，except Love．Love was the only one who stayed．Love wanted to hold out（堅(jiān)持） until the last possible moment．
When the island had almost sunk，Love decided to ask for help．
Richness was passing by Love in a big boat．Love said，"Richness，can you take me with you？"
Richness answered，"No，I can't．There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat．There is no place here for you．"
Love decided to ask Vanity（虛榮心） who was also passing by in a beautiful ship．"Vanity，please help me!"
"I can't help you，Love．You are all wet and might damage（破壞） my boat，"Vanity answered．
Sadness was close by so Love asked，"Sadness，let me go with you．"
"Oh…Love，I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love，too，but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her．
Suddenly，there was a voice，"Come，Love，I will take you．"It was an elder．So thankful and happy，Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going．When they arrived at dry land，the elder went her own way．Realizing how much was owed（欠） the elder，Love asked Knowledge，another elder，"Who helped me？"
"It was Time，"Knowledge answered．
"Time？"asked Love．"But why did Time help me？"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom（智慧） and answered，"Because only Time is able to understand how valuable（珍貴的）Love is．"

I got married forty years ago．Unfortunately，at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job．I was out of work for about six months before I got another one．Of course I was very short of money．
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day．The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look，later she was called away for a moment，and then I put one of the rings into my pocket．When she came back，I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend's finger．So I left the shop with the ring but I didn't pay for it．My wife died a month ago，and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience（讓我良心不安）all these years．I always feel guilty about that．At that time the ring cost 100 dollars，and I think that is about ten times at today's price．

6．It is easy for us to tell our friends from our enemies．But can'other animals do the same？Elephants can!They can use their eyes'．a(chǎn)nd noses to tell the difference between dangerous people and friendly people In Kenya，scientists found that elephants knew the different clothes of Maasai and Kamba people Maasai men often kill animals S'or food，so they are dangerous to elephants．Kamba men are farmers and not a danger to elephantsLast year，some animal scientists did an experiment．They found that elephants reacted（反應(yīng)） differently to smell and color
       First，elephants were shown clothes of either a Maasai or a Kamba man．When the elephants smelt the clothes worn by a Maasai man，they moved away fast．When they smelt the clothes worn by Kamba men，they relaxed．
Then，the same elephants were shown red clothes．They got angry，because red is often worn by Maasai men．Instead of running away，the elephants rushed angrily to the red clothes．Why？If an elephant smells a danger，he thinks that the danger is close and the best thing to do is to run away and hide．If he sees a danger，he thinks the risk（危險(xiǎn)性） is low．So the elephant seems a little braver and ready to fight
