A group of people asked this question to a group 4-to-8-year-old children. “What does love mean?” The answers were surprising. The children would answer like they did below.

“When my grandmother hurt her knees (膝蓋), she couldn’t bent (彎腰) over and paint her toenails (腳指甲) any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt too. That’s love.”

                                                Rebecca–age 8

“Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don’t shout at them because you know it would hurt her feelings.”

                                             Samantha–age 6

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

                                             Terri–age 4

“I let my big sister pick on (捉弄) me because my mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.”

                                             Bethany–age 4

“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes.”

                                             Lauren–age 4

“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”

                                             Elaine–age 5

“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”

                                             Clear–age 5

“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”

任務(wù)型閱讀

閱讀下面的短文，并完成短文后的任務(wù)。

Draw a giraffe in your mind. How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8m tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6m tall when they are all grown up.

 
But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包) around objects. The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue completely to keep out sand and dust. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its owner’s ears as well!

The tongue is black in colour to protect it from getting sunburnt (曬傷). It is nearly 56cm long. Giraffe only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33kg of leaves a day. When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat, they sometimes fight with elephants for food. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches.
