A long time ago， there was an emperor. He had a beautiful garden. In the garden， there was a little nightingale （夜鶯） singing very beautifully.

One day the emperor heard about this little bird’s beautiful voice. He asked his guards （守衛(wèi)） to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale’s voice， he said， “Put her in a golden cage （籠子）， so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her.”

The bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered scientists to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully， too. The emperor was glad.

Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time， the emperor became very weak. One morning， while lying in bed， the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn’t sing any more. Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy！ He became better and better each day.

After the emperor was well， he changed a lot and became kind to his people. From then on， all his people cherished （愛戴） him for his love and kindness.

The tiger is the largest wild （野生的） cat in the world. The big cat weighs about 363 kilograms and is about two meters long.

Tigers wait until it is dark； then they go out to find their food. When a tiger sees an animal， it moves very quietly， and then jumps on the animal to kill it. Sometimes it can take several days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The tiger eats until it’s had enough， and then it covers the dead animal with leaves （樹葉）. Later， when the tiger is hungry again， it comes back to eat some more.

Tigers are different from others in the family： They like water， and they often jump into rivers to swim.

Some tigers live in very cold places—in parts of North Korea， eastern Russia， and Northeast China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.

All tigers are in danger. People kill them to use their skins for clothes， and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live on. But now people know that tigers are in danger and have made plans to protect them.

第五課時（Section B 3a—Self Check）

一、補全短文

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，從材料后的五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項，使短文意思通順、內(nèi)容完整，并將其番號填寫在下面題號后的橫線上。

Would you mind if someone says nothing for your help？

Think of the following things. She suddenly asks you to pass a bowl to her. You do so. What will your mother’s response （反應(yīng)） be？ Maybe she’ll say nothing but just go on cooking. After a while， the dinner is ready. Your mother hands you a bowl of rice. What’s your response？

That’s what I want to say. In Chinese families， we don’t often say “Thank you” to other family members for getting help or service. If we say it， the other people will think we are treating （對待） them as strangers （陌生人）. Teachers will thank a student for answering a question； the husband will thank his wife for making a cup of coffee.

In Japan， it’s a tradition to say “Thank you”， no matter whether the person is a family member or a friend.

Do you think it is necessary to say “Thank you” to your family members or friends？

A. Japanese people also say it a lot.
