    Thanksgiving Day was coming. A teacher gave her class an interesting task—to draw a picture of something to express their 1.

    The teacher thought most of her 2 would draw turkey or some other traditional food of the festival. And so they did. But Douglas made a 3 kind of picture.

    Douglas was a child of unhappiness. 4 other children played together, Douglas always stood close by his teacher's side.

    His picture was special. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand! 5 else. Just an empty hand.

    His work caught the attention of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? Scone guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raised turkeys, others guessed it was the hand of God, because God helped everyone. The discussions 6, and they even forgot to ask the artist himself.

    When the discussion stopped, the teacher asked Douglas whose hand it was. The little boy said in a low voice, "It's 7, teacher."

    She got surprised at his words. Then she 8 that she often took his hand. Sometimes she said, "Douglas, take my hand, we'll go outside." Sometimes she said, "Let me show you how to hold your pencil." And she 9 said, "Let's do this together."

    Her eyes were full of tears. She had done these to all her students. She didn't know these were so 10 to him. She hugged Douglas and decided to give him more love.

    A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. The son was full of joy when he saw the sky filled with colorful kites. He wanted to fly a kite, too. The father then bought a kite for him.

    The son started to fly the kite. Soon, his kite was high up in the sky. After a while, he said, "Father, it seems that the string (线) is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, the kite will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?" The father cut the string. The kite started to go higher. This made the little boy happy.

    But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And finally it fell to the ground. The son was surprised to see this. He asked his father, "I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?"

    The father explained, "The string was not stopping the kite from going higher, but was helping it stay in the sky. You helped the kite go up in the right direction using the string. But when you cut the string, it could no longer support the kite."

    Sometimes, we may feel like there are certain things that are holding us back (阻碍) and stopping us growing. But in fact, these might be the things that support us the most.

    In today's world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people's health. However, not all the people know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.

    People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, scientists believe that 10% of the workers in Britain are becoming deaf because of the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and who weave cloth (织布) become deaf. Plenty of people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, because these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise which is produced by jet planes or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant. It can make people ill or even drive them mad.

    It is said that a continuous noise of more than 85 decibels (分贝) can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.

    In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.

    Julie is ten years old. Her brother Rick is eleven. Last year their family went to Kenya (肯尼亚) for their summer holiday.

    They had a wonderful time. Kenya is famous for its safari holiday.

    On a safari holiday, you stay in a national park and watch the wild animals. Julie's family did this. They camped in the middle of a national park, far from any towns.

    There were guides with them, and the guides knew a lot about wild animals. During the day, their guides took them in a big car and they saw all kinds of animals. They saw lions, elephants monkeys and many other wild animals. Sometimes the animals came very close to them. Once an elephant started to walk towards them, and Julie and Rick felt very scared. The guide said, "It's all right. Don't move, please." He didn't seem afraid at all! After some minutes, the elephant walked away.

    At night, the family slept in a tent. They could hear the noises of the animals. They said it was noisy, and sometimes they couldn't sleep! Also, they said it was very, very hot. But they loved their holiday and are going again next year.
