When I was in the third grade,I was picked to be the princess (公主) in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practise my lines. But once on stage,every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's (解说者的) part for the play,and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day,she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches,as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I am going to dig up all these weeds,” she said. “From now on,we’ll have only roses in this garden. ”
“ But I like dandelions ,” I protested. “ All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes. Every flower gives pleasure in its own way,doesn’t it?”she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is true to people,too,” she ad&ed. When I realised that she had guessed my pain,I started to cry and told her the truth. But you will be a beautiful narra-tor,” she said,reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.
Over the next few weeks,with her continuous encouragement,I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play,my teacher came over to me. u Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said,handing me a dandelion. After the play,I took home the flower,laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.

The kings of ancient Egypt planned strong tombs to keep their bodies safe after death and to hold their treasure. The Great Pyramid was built thousands of years ago for a king called Khufu. It stands on the west bank of the Nile River not far from Cairo. In fact all the pyramids along the Nile* are on its west bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life. This is why their dead bodies were buried on the west bank of the Nile.
The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They did not build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt,but they are bigger. Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway (楼梯) that goes from the bottom to the top.
The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2 ,000 years old. Scientists think it took 10 ,000 men more than ten years to build it. On the top they built a temple of the sun.
