Ashima was a girl from a poor family. She was very good at singing and dancing and she just loved Ahei, a brave and smart young man.

One day,  Ashima met Azhi. Azhi wanted Ashima to marry (嫁) him. But Ashima said she only loved Ahei.

When the weather got cold, Ahei had to go to work in a very far place. After Ahei left, Azhikidnapped Ashima, and took her home.

When Ahei heard about this, he rode his horse back quickly. When he got to Azhi's house, Azhi said he had to win a song competition (比赛) before he could get in. Ahei sang for three days and three nights and won the competition at last. He went into Azhi's house.

Azhi asked Ahei to stay one night in his house and said he would let Ahei and Ashima leave the next morning. At night, Azhi put three tigers into Ahei’s room. But Ahei killed them. Finally he took Ashima home.

When Ashima and Ahei were walking by a river, Azhi made the river flood (泛滥).

Ashima fell into the river. ____▲_____

Ashima became river stones (石头).Later, when Ahei missed Ashima, he would face the stones,. call out Ashima’s name and talk to her. The was always an echo (回声).

   Today was not my day.

First, I slept late. Then I went to the kitchen for breakfast, but there was no hamburger. I decided to have some bread, but I burnt (烤糊) it. I had to eat it because there was no more bread. There was no Juice, either. I just had a cup of water.

When I was at the bus stop, I found I forgot my wallet (钱包). So I went back home to get it. Of course, I missed the bus.

I was late for school. When I got to school, the first class was over. I missed a Maths test. The teacher said there would be a test just for me after school two days later. Oh, it s Friday! I can’t visit my grandma then.

After lunch, it was time to give the teacher my homework. But I couldn’t find it In my schoolbag! I left it at home...

After school, my father drove me home. When I got home, I did my homework. Mum cooked fish for dinner. She knows I don’t like fish, but she thinks it is good for me.

What a bad day! I hope tomorrow will be a nice one.

   In many middle schools, all students must wear the school uniform on school days. And here comes the question-do they like to wear the uniform?

Wang Ye is a 12-year-old girl from No. I Middle School. She says, “I don’t like my school uniform. It is not beautiful at all. I think girls should wear some colourful clothes. But I have to wear the uniform in the school.”

Zhao Kai, also a middle school student. has a different idea. He says, “I like my school uniform. It looks cool. All my friends think so.”

Zhang Wen, a 13-year-old girl, says, “I have to wear the school uniform on school days. I think it's a good rule (规章). It helps me, save time. Before, I didn’t know what to wear every morning and I was always worried about this. It took me lots of time to choose my clothes. But now I have more time to do other things.”
