Mandy wanted some new crayons, but her mom said she had to use her own money to buy them. Mom had bought her new crayons at the beginning of school, but Mandy wanted the big box of 100 colours she had seen at the store. The crayons even had a sharpener in the box that would keep her crayons looking like new. They also had such great colours such as bright pink, lemon yellow, and jade green. Mandy went to her piggy bank and counted her money. She was $1.50 short. “Mom, is there anything I can do to earn some extra money?” asked Mandy. Mom thought for a minute and said, “Well, you could pull the weeds (杂草) from the flower beds. I can give you fifty cents for that.” “I still need S1.00,” Mandy thought to herself, Maybe I can walk the neighbour’ s dogs for a few days and earn S1.00.

25、Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shen Nong, a man who had an ox(牛)head and human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from diseases, he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him,people named the place Shennongjia.
The legend(传说)makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see scenery of the four seasons from different altitudes(海拔).
“When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bears.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed(声称)that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far,scientists haven’t proved it is true and some say they are just bears.

Nowadays many people go camping for fun. Camping can be enjoyed in the backyard or deep in the wilderness. Whether camping for one night or several weeks, being prepared is the key.
Endless fun
Once the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games.
Required equipment
Shelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your trip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment any distance. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against weather and insects. A hat, whistle, bug repellent (驱虫剂) and rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box.
Various tents
There are many types and styles of tents. You should choose your tent based on your needs. If you are camping alone in the backyard, a simple lean-to or small tent may do. If you are camping with your family, a larger cabin tent or camping trailer may be best.
Proper locations
Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (接触) in the morning with shade in the afternoon is ideal.
