大母鸡

我酷愛养鸡，家里养了六只母鸡，其中一只大母鸡又大又肥，全身披着黄羽毛，头上有一顶红色的小冠子，真神气。

大母鸡既刁横又霸道。有一次，我拿了一把米来喂它们，大母鸡首先在我面前咕咕地叫，好像在对我说：“小主人，快来喂我吧！真把我饿死了。”我对它说：“就你贪（tān niàn）吃！”我把米放进食槽里，大母鸡就张开它的大翅膀扑向食槽，还专门找大颗的米吃，其他的母鸡饿得咕咕直叫，只好吃它刨出来的碎米。有一只黄母鸡不服气，就悄悄地来到食槽，和大母鸡抢着吃，刚抢一口，头部就被大母鸡狠狠地啄了一下，吓得那只黄母鸡赶紧躲到一边去了。其他母鸡再也不敢抢食槽里的食了，只得乖乖地吃大母鸡刨出来的碎米。

大母鸡还喜欢打盹（dǔn dùn）。它打盹时还很讲究，先用爪（zhuǎ zhǎo）子“刷、刷”地在地上扒（bā pá）个坑，然后就蹲下来眯上眼睛，把头插进它那大翅（chì cì）膀下一动也不动，你走过去，它也不怕，还是打自己的盹。

我们全家人都喜欢这只大母鸡，因为它每天下一个蛋，比其他鸡下得多。它下蛋时先吃得饱饱的，然后就安安稳稳地卧在窝里，忽然它浑身哆嗦起来，顿时它的羽毛竖了起来，样子忐忑不安，不一会儿，它就站起来。我走近一看，鸡窝里已经有一个蛋了，一拿起来，热乎乎的，我把蛋取走后，赶紧抓一把米喂它。大母鸡一边吃一边“咯咯”地叫，好象在说：“我下蛋了！我下蛋了！”

OK！

There are stories about two U.S. presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK.We dont  know if either story is true，but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education.In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing.When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said.If he approved of a paper，he would write“all correct”on it.The problem was that he didnt know how to spell.So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”.After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”.

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York.Van Bnrens friends organized a club to help him become President. They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”.
