One day when I was 9 years old, I was lost when I went shopping with my parents.
I walked and looked for my parents. I did not know what to do. When I wanted to cry, I remembered my father's words that I was now “a big girl” and then I walked bravely(勇敢地).
I went to the bookstore on the first floor. My father wanted to get some books just now, but my parents were not there. Then, I went to the shoe shop on the second floor. I knew my mother wanted to buy a pair of shoes. I did not find them there, either. “Did they go home? How could I get home then?” I was very worried(担忧的).
Then an idea came up. I ran to the Information Counter(信息台). I told the clerk that I was lost. The news went out over the loud speakers of the shopping centre.
My parents arrived at the counter later. They looked worried, too, but I was happy for finding them.

Winter is a hard time for animals. The weather may be very cold. Food can be hard to find under the snow. How do animals live in this time? Let's have a look.
In fall(秋天), when the weather gets cool, some animals go away from cold places and move to warm places. Some birds fly to south together because the weather there is warm, and food there is easy to find. When warm days come, they will be back.
Some animals make changes to live in winter, like snowshoe rabbits in America. In summer, the rabbits' fur is brown. But they grow new, white fur in winter. The new fur keeps them safe(安全的) in snow. In fall, they eat to get fat(脂肪), because the fat can also help them keep warm in winter.
Other animals sleep all winter and they don't eat at all. Before winter, these animals eat a lot to grow fat. When winter comes, they go to sleep. Black bears in cold places make beds to sleep in. Some of them can sleep for seven months.
