这是一篇寓言故事。一匹已经很漂亮的马想让自己变得更漂亮一些，它去找上帝帮忙，结果上帝将它变成了一头 骆驼，这匹马能满意吗？
详析
1. A God had a beautiful horse with many good qualities.
原句中的beautiful是一个形容词，可以作定语；had many good qualities表示“有着许多好的特征”，可以改为介词 词组，作中心词horse的后置定语。
2. To ask the God to make him more beautiful.由第二段的第三句可知，这匹马去见上帝的主要目的是想让上帝 把它变得更漂亮一些。
3. You have turned you into a camel.这句话的意思是“后来上帝变出了一个骆驼来代替这匹马”，由此可知，答案 为第六段的最后一句。
4. Never try to get more than I have given you.本句是一个祈使句，其中“我已经给你的”要用现在完成时。
5. 如果你想得到更多的东西，你将不会知道后果将是怎样的. 其中的have no idea表示“不知道”。

Two years ago,a small town in Changhua started to grow healthy rice. The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by the students from a small primary school of only about fifty people.

Today the dream is becoming real — the students are flying to Japan to share their special farming experiences,and have fun over there,of course! 44We all feel very proud that even students from a small town can make themselves seen in the world ,” said one of the teachers.
