First, the Arctic is in the north, while the Antarctica sits in the south. Imagine a big ball with snow and ice at both ends—that's what our earth looks like!

There isn't just snow or ice. They have beautiful views (风景) and some special animals, too. You might think polar bears and penguins (企鹅) live together. No! Polar bears live in the Arctic, while penguins live in the Antarctica. But you can see seals and fish around both places. Are there people around these places? About 4,000,000 people live near the Arctic, but no one lives in the Antarctica all year round!

Now here comes a surprise. A few parts of the Arctic and most of the Antarctica get almost no rain, so they are among the driest (最干燥的) places on the earth. The Antarctica is the world's largest desert (沙漠)! Yes, a desert with snow and ice!

However, the ice is melting (融化) these years. How can we take care of these amazing places? Get more information on the Internet. Maybe you'll find your ways to help.

Sammie Vance is a 15-year-old girl from America. She helps lonely kids make friends.

     ★    Well, she runs the "Buddy Bench" program (项目) at school. If someone feels lonely, they can sit on the bench. Then other kids can know that they need a friend and would ask them to play together. The bench brings kids together and helps many shy kids make new friends.

"I've been lonely myself and it's not a good feeling. So I don't want anyone else to feel that way. That's why I start the program." says Sammie.

She wants to create an eco-friendly (环境友好的) way to make the bench from bottle caps (瓶盖). After posting the news online, Sammie gets caps from people around the world. In the end, she gets more than 600 kilos of them. A company (公司) helps make three benches from these caps.

Now, Sammie gives more than 200 benches to schools and parks in total. "And I want to give even more buddy benches to different places to help more lonely kids…"

Hello, everyone, I'm Li Bai. I enjoy drinking and writing poetry (诗). Many people call me "Poet Immortal (诗仙)". I have a lot of poems, and I think you surely know them well. If not, you may not listen carefully in your Chinese class. I have many friends, such as Du Fu and Meng Haoran. We all love writing poetry.

Hi, I'm Du Fu, a friend of Li Bai. I'm 11 years younger than Li Bai. I love writing poems about nature, people and life. Chunye Xiyu is one of my most famous poems. I write poems to record (记录) the real life and true feelings of poor people. So people call me "Poet Sage (诗圣)". Li Bai and I are good friends. I often write poems as gifts for him.

I am Meng Haoran. I'm 12 years older than Li Bai. I love nature and often write poems about rivers, mountains, and the beauty of life. People call me "Poet of Nature" because of this. The poem Chunxiao is one of my most famous poems. Both Li Bai and I love poetry and the beauty of nature, so we are good friends.

"Mom, please, please," Alana, my 7-year-old little girl says, "I want to do it by myself."

Alana likes trying. Maybe she often makes a "mess" (杂乱)— messy gardening, messy hand-made works... This time she wants to try1, and I'm a little worried.

"Well, sweetie. Maybe I can make the cookies (曲奇饼干)2 you, so that I can give you a hand."

"No, Mom! I want to do this by myself. I am3 enough! Just wait and see!" Alana says.

I try to hide my worries, "Fine,4 be careful!"

"OK, Mom, I will!" she5 excitedly.

Alana runs to the kitchen and starts the work. Later, I hear clatters (撞击声) of dishes.

So I go to the kitchen to see what's going on. As what I think, it's a mess— Flour (面粉) covers the table, bowls are everywhere and chocolate makes the kitchen terrible…

"Mom, I... I'll6 all later!" she says.

I can do nothing but wait, so I go to read a book.

After a while, Alana comes out of the kitchen, holding a plate of7, not that perfect.

"Mom," she says, "I made it! The cookies are just for your8!"

I'm so9. I look at her with tears (眼泪) in my eyes and say, "Oh, honey, this is the best birthday gift I've got!" Then, I take one. The lovely cookies are the most10 in the world!
