We know from our textbooks that cormorant (鱼鹰）fishing is a traditional Chinese skill that might disappear in the near future． 66  ，we still can find some fishermen fishing with those big birds in some parts of China．Let’s  67  one of those fishermen，Wang Yousheng．

Wang and his cormorants live in a small town in Leping，Jiangxi province．He has been practicing cormorant fishing for many  68  ．

Every morning，he  69  his cormorants for fishing．The cormorants stand on a long bamboo pole，and Wang carries them to his little boat．

  70   going fishing，the cormorants stand along the sides of the boat．Wang ties a piece of grass  71  the neck of each cormorant，preventing them from swallowing (吞）big fish．Then he starts off．

Wang is an experienced fisherman，so it’s not  72  for him to find fish．When the boat stops，the cormorants dive into the water to hunt fish．Soon，they come up from the water，each with a big fish in  73  mouths．Wang brings the birds back to the boat and collects the fish．

Wang says he really enjoys  74  with the birds．But as more and more young people in his town are moving to cities to live，he doesn’t know  75  there will be fishermen like him in the near future．

Two thousand years ago，beside the beautiful and rich Loulan Lake，there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road．Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties． 61

Stray cats (野猫)must have been eating like kings during holidays as they climb into the garbage bins behind some best restaurants and search for the food that people left．

Holiday dinners are times of family，friends and food…，lots of food! A meal can usually last for hours．And if there are guests，there will be even more dishes as the host wishes to show his generosity．At family dinners，most of the leftovers (吃剩的饭菜）will be eaten later，but at big dinners，the leftovers go straight into the bin．

It’s reported that 50 million tons of food，about one tenth of the total amount of grain (粮食）production of China，is wasted every year．According to China Agricultural University，that’s enough food to feed 200 million people．A lot of this waste comes from big dinners when hosts try to order expensive foods to impress their guests．

Restaurants make a lot of money from these big dinners，but some restaurant owners are shocked at the waste．They’ve started campaigns (运动)to encourage people to clean their plates．One restaurant owner says he now gives discounts to people who eat everything they order，and he also offers free bags to take home any leftovers．

A full stomach，they say，is good for the body and good for the soul (灵魂)，but wasted food can be bad for both．So，at festival times，we should order what we want，but eat everything that we order…and let the stray cats find their dinner elsewhere!

 farmer in India had two large pots (桶）．One of the pots had a crack (裂缝）in it．The other pot was perfect，and it always carried a full pot of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the farmer’s house．The cracked pot arrived only half full．

For two years this went on daily，with the farmer carrying one and one-half pots of water to his house．Of course，the perfect pot was proud of its achievements．But the poor cracked pot was ashamed (羞愧的）of its own work．One day，it spoke to the farmer，“I was ashamed (羞愧的）of myself，and I want to apologize to you．”

“Why?” asked the farmeer．“What are you ashamed of?”

“For these last two years，I have been able to carry only half pot of water，because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house．Because of my flaw (瑕庇），you do not get full value for your work，” the pot explained．

“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path，but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw，and I took advantage of it．I sowed (播撒）flower seeds on your side of the path，and every day while I walk back from the stream，you have watered them．For two years，I have been able to pick those flowers to decorate my table．So I need to say ‘thanks，to you for the beautiful flowers!”

Each of us has our own flaws．We are all cracked pots．Don’t be ashamed of the flaws．Accept them，and we can be the cause of beauty，too．In God’s eyes，nothing goes to waste．
