I love turtles(龟), but I haven't cared for them well. So please read the following before deciding on buying one.
You don't have enough room. Turtles need a lot of room to live happily. But this doesn't mean you should let them play freely across your house.
You can't give your turtle enough food. Most turtles eat both meat and plants. Whatever you do, don't think you can feed your pet the only food from a pet store, which is a death sentence(死刑).
If you own a dog or a cat, don't risk buying the turtle unless you can keep them 100% separate(分开的)! One day, my dog ate a box turtle and about a month later the dog died. I've read that many box turtles carry toxins(毒素) in their bodies.
You can't offer right temperature. Once, I bought a turtle that was not put into a box. It died a few days later. In fact, the box can give it a good temperature.
You want an expensive pet for a status(身份) symbol. This may be the worst reason to buy a turtle. It means your heart is not on it, and you will not be taking all the steps necessary to care for the pet.
You will find different information in some books. You need to read more books to begin to understand the high level of care needed.
26.The reason why people should separate a dog from a turtle is that ________.
A.turtles are afraid of dogs B.they may hurt each other

A.Putting turtles in a fit-sized box.
B.Putting turtles and cats in the same box.
C.Letting turtles play freely across the house.
D.Buying an expensive turtle for a status symbol.

When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.
Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing, Dad ” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead ” his son said.

Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.

61.Possible version:
To the Editor,
I’m a middle school student. I think it is important to save tigers. Yesterday I heard a report about saving tigers. It said that the population of wild tigers in China now is less than fifty. That’s surprising! There are two main reasons for this. One is that some people kill tigers to make money. The other reason is that people cut down lots of forests, so tigers have fewer places to live and less food to eat. We must save the trees and ask people not to buy things made of tiger skins. I also hope that the government will take steps to pass laws to protect tigers from being killed. It’s not just for tigers.
We should all work together to make the earth a safe home both for humans and animals.
Yours sincerely
Li Lei
