　　I wonder if there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow (彩虹) in the sky. It is so beautiful.

　　There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. Neither you could find the pot of gold, nor could you ever find its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away.

　　A rainbow is not a thing that we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect (结果) for light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see.

　　It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow (弓).

　　That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see rainbows only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds. Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colour is always red, next comes orange, then green, and last of all blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.

Early last year, two young brothers in Jiangsu Province　      badly burned while playing. The“game”they were playing was　     　 they had watched in the cartoon Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf （《喜羊羊和灰太狼》）.The brothers were 　      two little goats while their friend was playing a bad wolf . Their friend tied them　     　 a tree and set fire to the grass around them.
The sad story is an example of how many children follow the violence（暴力） they see on television, especially cartoons. It is 　     　 that violent cartoons can make children more aggressive（具有攻击性的）. In a survey, researchers　　     　 the children after watching non-violent and violent cartoons. They found that the kids who watched violent cartoons fought with others and　     　 class rules more often.
Children under the age of seven are too 　     　 to understand that the violence on TV can bring
　     　 real harm. It is parents’ job 　     　 them understand it.
