| 阅读理解。 | Jin Jun and his classmates at Shanghai Nanyang Middle School are not very happy to be back
from holiday.
Not because they hate studying, but because some of their best friends-pigeons on campus are
gone.
More than 100 pigeons used to fly around their campus every day, making students smile during
break time.
But now, the birds are gone. Where? Now they"re all locked up in a bird cage. Bird flu has
landed in Shanghai, and experts are afraid the pigeons might spread the disease if they keep flying
around.
For safety, the school also asks students to stay away from the cage. "I feel sad for those birds.
They"re my best friends," said Jin, a Junior 3 student. "Last term I would bring com to feed them,
but I can"t do that any more. I hope bird flu will end soon so I can play with the pigeons again. "
Nanyang Middle School is not the only one to take pigeons off the campus.
Students in Beijing Fengtai Experimental Primany School also gave their pigeons to the local
health department on February 3.
Their pigeons are special birds. In 1999, students found two injured pigeons and gave them a
home, To get money for bird food, the kids sold rubbish paper. They took good care of the birds,
and five years later, those two pigeons had brought more than 260 pigeons to the campus!
"The students loved the birds," said Mr Chen, the school"s headmaster. But to keep the school

top of an object is heavier than its bottom, it will fall over easily. We say that its center of gravity(重力)
is high. But if the bottom is heavier, it won"t fall easily. Then we say that its center of gravity is low.
Look at the first picture. This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above
the line of its bottom (AB).
Now look at the second picture. There are some heavy things in the bottom of this box. It will not fall,
because its center of gravity is above its bottom.

Sports are all around us. We watch and read sports news. There are also sports clubs, and even
sports-only channels (频道) on TV. In many countries, players make millions of dollars every year.
But why are sports so important? They"re only games, right?

Vlad (Ukraine乌克兰)
Sports bring people together. In 2006, our team was able to play in the 2006 World Cup for the first
time. Everyone was happy. Rich and poor, old and young, men and women-everyone was in the streets
together!
Mike (U.S.A.)
Sports bring people together, but they divide them too. Fans of different teams fight all the time-they
shout and hit each other. And here"s another example: My brother plays high school baseball. Last week,
his team played an important game. At the game, two parents fought about a call. Come on.... baseball
is only a game! Sports are so competitive (有竞争力的) these days. It"s all about winning. Then the
game isn"t fun.
Oba (South Africa)
Right now, some of the world"s best soccer players are from African countries, and the 2010 World
Cup games will be held in South Africa. Yes, some players make a lot of money-maybe too much, but
sporting events (like the World Cup) bring tourists to the countries where sporting events are held and
money to the people in these countries. And that is good for Africa.
