4 Do you think the fox was clever?
1 Why was the fox afraid of the tiger?
2 Why did the fox say he was the king of the forest?
5 What is the moral of the story?
3 Why did the fox want to walk thro ugh the forest with the tiger?
One day a tiger was hunting around in a forest. An unlucky fox was met and
caught by the tiger. For the fox, the inescapable fate was very clear-death.
Despite the danger, the fox thought hard to find a way out. Quickly, the fox
said to the tiger, "How dare you kill me!" The tiger was surprised and asked
why the fox said that. The fox raised his voice a bit and said "To tell you the
truth , it's me who is king of the forest. Let 's have a test. Let's go through the
forest. Follow me and you will see HOW THE ANIMALS ARE FRIGHTENED OF
ME," The tiger agreed. So the fox walked ahead of the tiger proudl y through
the forest. As you can imagine, the animals, seeing the tiger behind , were all
terribly frightened and ran away. Then the fox said proudly: "There is no doubt
that what I said is true, is there?" The tiger had nothing to say and nodded and
said: "You are right. You are the king."

What is the main idea of the articles below? Look at the picture and skim the text.
a Our health is important so we need to stay healthy.
b Doctors have recently discovered a new cure.
c There are different and unusual ways to treat the sick .
I
Read about two types of healthcare-osteopathy and biofeedback.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy began as a treatment around
1874. An American doctor who was
unhappy with conventional medicine
created osteopathy. Osteopa ths think
5 that many illnesses and diseases happen
because of problems with our bones and
muscles. They also think that our body can
fight off many illnesses, as long as blood
can move around it easily. Osteopathy is
10 a ' hands on' treatment. The patient may
be asked to lie on a special table. The
osteopath will move or massage parts
of the body to try and correct problems.
Osteopathy is often used to treat problems
15 with the back or the joints (areas where
bones meet, such as the knees). An
osteopath may also recommend exercise
or changes to what we eat as part of
the treatment. Osteopathy treats the
20 whole body, not just one part . No drugs
are used, although modern osteopaths
may somet imes work with doctors of
convent ional medicine or recommend
convent ional treatments. People are still
25 researching exactly how osteopathy works .
It can sometimes help treat surprising
illnesses like ear infections or asthma
(breathi ng problems).
Biofeedback
'Biofeedback' is a treatment that was
created in the 1960s. Biofeedback is the
idea that people can change what happens
in their body by using their mind . Today,
5 conventional doctors teach patients how
to use biofeedback to help them with pain,
stom ach, heart, and blood probl ems.
People also use biofeedback to learn to
change bad habits like smoki ng. Peopl e
10 who use biofeedback learn about what
things make them ill by using a machine
that shows electricity in their muscles,
For example, if someone gets high blood
pressure when they are nervous, they
15 learn to relax, Doctors use a biofeedback
machine with a light. The light starts to
flash when the person is nervous. The
person watches the light and tries to relax.
When the person begins to relax, the light
20 slowly stops flashing. One of the best uses
of biofeedback is when a person cannot
move an arm or a leg. The biofeedback
machine can show them there is still feeling
in their muscles. The person can see the
25 light begin to flash and can try to move.
Doctors have learnt that biofeedback
cannot cure disease, but it can help
patients know themselves bette r.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you
for coming. Today's lecture is called
'What' s a good pet for you?' Let 's begi n
with goldfish. Goldfish make good pet s,
especially for busy people. Goldfish
are quiet, clean pets. And they are very
cheap! But they aren't very friendly. Do
you want a pet that can talk to you?
Get a parrot. Parrots are noisy, but
they are very friendly. And parrots are
intelligent. But be careful. Parrot s can be
expensive. Iguanas are expensive, too .
But they are unusual , and many peopl e
like them. They are not common pets,
so make sure you know how to take
care of them. Let 's see ... another quiet
animal is the turt le. Turtles are cheap
and usually very clean. What about
snakes? Snakes can be good pets .
They are certainly clean and quiet, and
they can be friendly. Really! Do you like
rabbits? Rabbits make nice pets. They
are small, interesting animals. Rabbits
can be affectionate, and they are usually
cheap. Of course, the most popular pets
are cats. Cats can be noisy but they are
very friendly and can be very intelligent.
They are usually affectionate pets, but
they are also very independent. Actually,
they can be very moody. One second
they lick your hand, then they scratch it.
Whatever you choose, make sure it is an
animal you will love. Good luck in finding
the right pet for you. And remember ...
having a pet is a big responsibility.

The Fox and the Grapes
One afternoon, a fox was walking
through the forest when he saw some
grapes hanging from a tall tree. The
grapes were as big as plums, The fox
looked at them and imagined they were
as sweet as sugar, 'Mmm. I'm very
thirsty. And those grapes look delicious,'
he said. The fox moved back a little
and then jumped for the grapes. But,
the fox missed. The fox moved back
a little more. He ran, jumped, and ...
missed. Now the fox was more tired
and thirstier than before. He tried one
more time and ... missed. Finally, the
fox stopped trying. 'They're probably as
sour as lemons anyway,' he said and
walked away.
The Frog and the Ox
One day, a little frog was sitting next to
the pool. He was very scared. 'Dad, I
saw a horrible monster! He was as big
as a mountain!' he said. 'Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Did he have a tail as long as a snake?
And legs as big as trees?' his father
asked. 'Yes!' 'Don't worry, son. That's
just the farmer's ox. He's not so big.
OK, so he's taller than me. And I'm not
as strong as him, but I'm sure I can be
as broad as him.' So the daddy frog
puffed himself up bigger and bigger
and bigger. 'Was he as big as me?' he
asked. 'Yes. He was much bigger than
that.' The old frog became angry. 'I am
better than the ox,' he thought. The big
frog puffed again and again and was
much bigger than before. 'Was he as
big as me?' he asked again. 'Yes,' the
little frog answered. Finally, the daddy
frog puffed and puffed and was as big
as a house. Then ... BOOM!
The Lion and the Mouse
Once, when a little mouse was running
in a field, he saw a sleeping lion. The
little mouse was tired and wanted
to sleep. 'That lion's fur looks more
comfortable than a bed,' he thought.
The mouse jumped onto the back of the
lion. Suddenly, the mouse felt a big paw
on his tail. The lion opened his mouth
to eat the little mouse. 'Please, Mr
Lion, don't eat me, I won't do it again.
And maybe some day I can help you,'
said the mouse. The lion laughed and
laughed. 'Do you really think you can
help me? I'm bigger, stronger, and more
dangerous than you.' The lion was so
amused that he let the mouse go. One
day, some hunters came and caught the
lion, They tied him to a tree with some
rope. Just then, the mouse arrived. He
ran to help the lion. The little mouse bit
the ropes and the lion escaped, 'You
see, Mr Lion,' the mouse said. 'I'm not
as big as you, or as strong as you, or as
dangerous as you, but I can be as kind
as you.'
