ALadybirds (瓢虫) didn't have black spots on their backs at first. Then a storm broke out, and their famous guide, Caius Insectus, disappeared into the flood (洪水), and the few ladybirds who survived had to choose a new leader to guide them out of trouble.

Everyone criticized (批评) him, and they prepared to continue their journey the next day.Following their new guide, they spent a morning walking northwards until they reached some tall thick grassland, where they stopped. There were no clear waters or flowers in front of them. The heavy rain had turned the place into a huge green puddle (水坑). Everyone understood what had happened. When the ladybirds had gone out looking for the lake, they had gone in the wrong direction. Now they could see that, except that one late ladybird, they had lied in order to get what they wanted.And so, the late little ladybird was made the Great Guide.

Lots of people are crazy about this special restaurant and like to have a try.Compared with other famous companies that provide foods, it has enjoyed a quite short history, as it was created in 1986. However, it has some important characteristics that have led to its success.First of all, most people are familiar with its natural farm produce. That is to say, this concept just lives_up_to the demands of environmental protection and balanced diets. In addition, Fresh Choice provides customers with all kinds of foods, including soups, desserts and all kinds of salads, along with many other delicious dishes.

The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. Y ou can take steps to make the wholeprocess (过程) easier for everyone.Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you're not happy about the move, try to keep a positive attitude to it. During the move, a parent's attitude can greatly influence kids.No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as househunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it's being forced on them. If you're moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.43．According to the passage kids may feel a move is a bad experience because ________.A. they don't like the moving processB. they may feel they're forced to do soC. they think their parents don't care about themD. they often feel lonely in a new school44．In which situation does the writer advise to put off a move?A.
