THE SEAGULLS OF SALT LAKE CITY
Salt Lake City is a beautiful city in the west of North America. The name
comes from a great lake nearby. The city lies in a valley with high
mountains all around it. But long ago there was almost nothing in this place
and were very few people living here.
More than a hundred years ago, a group of men, women and children moved
from the east to the west. They had travelled a long way. At last these
brave people came to the great mountains by the salt lake. They crossed the
mountains and reached this quiet place. They decided to stay here, and so
they built their homes and made their farms. This was where Salt Lake City
now lies.
The people had to work hard on their farms, because their lives depended
on their crops.
One day while they were working in their field, some farmers saw
something strange in the sky.
"Whats that?" asked one of them.
"Where?" asked another, as he stopped to look.
"Over there, "was the reply.
They saw something like a cloud coming, but it was too low in the sky.
As they watched, it came nearer and nearer. Suddenly a shout went up: "
Locusts! Millions of them!"
The words put fear into the heart of all, because they knew what locusts
could do, and they had never seen so many of them before.
In no time the locusts came down and started eating and everything - the
wheat, the corn, the grass and the leaves on the trees.
The farmers brought out things to fight the locusts. They tried
everything. But while they were killing the locusts in one place, millions
more arrived in another. What could the farmers do?
Suddenly there was a great noise. As they looked up, they saw another
cloud coming towards them. To their surprise, they saw not locusts this time
, but seagulls. The farmers cried out, "Theyve came to eat what the locusts
have left。"
But to their joy, they found that the seagulls had come to eat not the
crops, but the locusts. They had seen or smelled the locusts and had come
from the Salt Lake City. Now they were eating the locusts! In a short while
they ate up millions of them. The farmers crops were saved.
The people were very thankful. They decided that from then on no one
should ever kill a seagull. And today, if you go to Salt Lake City, you can
see a monument with seagulls on top of it. |

i***e 发帖数: 3219 | 6 这英语很好啊,简洁明快。要知道这是给初三学生看的,我们那时候初一才开始学英语
,所以这文章相当于给这里的小学二三年级的小朋友看的,这已经很难了。
现在接轨得太厉害,从幼儿园就开始学英语了吧,简直要把英语当母语了,真是贱啊。

最近去喜羊羊吃饭,老板很热情,亲自当waitor,见到我就说:“欢迎欢迎,你看着很
眼熟啊。”
我说:“是啊,我是御姐的介绍来的,吃过好几次。”料想报出御姐的大号,总该打点
折吧。
老板:“哦,你是御姐的朋友啊,她最近好像把餐馆给卖了。”
我一时就凌乱了,御姐啥时候开了个地下餐馆啊?忙问:“御姐还开餐馆啊?她不是搞
房地产的么?”
老板也蒙了:“你说的是哪个御姐啊?”
我:“我说的是那个大肚婆啊。”
老板:“哦,我以为你说的是裕洁(音)呢,裕洁是开餐馆的。”
