My granddaughter, 10, was very happy the day before yesterday because her mother and the mother of one of her classmates took them to a park and a Pizza Hut （比萨饼屋）to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the two girls played heartily – no homework, no extra-curricular（课外） skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “ Olympic mathematics” （数学奥赛） courses.

Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw my granddaughter sitting by the small desk in her room doing math exercises or writing a compositions given by her teacher. On the white wall behind the desk are some words she wrote. One sentence reads: “ Why is the exercise endless?”

Poor girl!

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”（鲑鱼）. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where the go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

81. The reason for most of the animals to move is _____________________.

82. Find the word in the passage which means “the movement from one place to another of a large group of animals” and write it

down here: __________.

83. The underlined word “ （指的是）____________.

84. The salmon comes back to its birthplace in order to ____________.

85. The lobsters begin to move to another place when _____________.

During the week, we sang English songs, joined in English speaking contests, put on short English plays, watched English films and guessed riddles in English. We became more interested in English and our speaking ability has greatly improved. As everyone knows, practice makes perfect. I learned a lot from this activity. I think it’s a good way to learn English. I like it very much.
