Every year, March is the month for remembering Lei Feng. Lei Fengwas always1to help others. He is our good example.

I am a new student of Blue Sky Middle School and2avolunteer (志愿者), group in my school last month. Thereare about one hundred students and teachers in3group.We do all kinds of things to help others. We do helpful things like cleaning thestreets,4the old people and the disabled (残疾人士).

Every Saturday morning, I go to help Granny Li with two of my5.We do housework for her and talk with her. Granny. Li is over 70 years old. Shehas no children. Her husband has died. She6alone.She is in great need of our help. She7standsby the door and looks forward to our coming. She is very nice and we al1likeher very much. We often talk about8things with her. And we also tell her aboutour9life.

After I become a volunteer, I know that it is better to10thanto get. When you help others, you will get happy. I should learn from Lei Fengand help people often.

Do you like doing after-school activities? Here are some great clubs for you.

A teacher usually taught his students in special ways. One year, heasked four students to go to see apple trees in different seasons. The firststudent went there in spring, the second in summer, the third in autumn, andthe last in winter.

After the four students came back, they described(描述) the trees to the teacher. The first student said, "All leaveson the trees were green and beautiful." The second student said differently,"The flowers looked so nice and smelt good." But the third student said heonly saw apples on the trees. "They tasted good, but I couldn't seeany flowers."

"Really? Why didn't I see any leaves, flowers, or apples?"the last one said. "The trees looked really ugly." Just then, theteacher said, "You're all right, but you each just saw one season. Thetrees aren't the same in different seasons. You can't tell a tree by only oneseason."

Everything has different sides in life. So don't tell what a thingor a person is like before seeing all of it.

Travel study is a new way to spend your holiday. Do you hear about it?

When you have a travel study, you can go to the Big Ben, Sydney Opera House, the Statue of Liberty and so many other places. During the travel study, you may go travelling by yourself or with your family or your friends.

When you travel, you are in a different culture every day. You will beserved with different new food and make new friends. You read all these from books in the past, but now it's real and you are part of it. Besides, you may learn other cultures(文化) from your new friends because they are from different countries.

Maybe you have foreign teachers in your school to teach you English. But he or she will not keep speaking English with you all the time, right? During the travel study, you have to speak it every day and almost everywhere because you are in an English-speaking country.

It also gives you a chance to live alone. That will teach you how to live. "What should I do if I lose my way in a foreign country?" "How can I buy what I want with my poor English?" You have to be clever enough and find answers for yourself!

In conclusion (总之), you can get a lot from the travel study.

Scientists predict(预测) that most polar bearswill disappear by the year 2100because of global warming. There are about25,000 polar bears. They spend most of their lives on the ice which covers theArctic(北冰洋).

As the world gets hotter because of man-made climate(气候)change, the Arctic is warming about twice as quickly as otherplaces. This is making the ice smaller and thinner. Scientists say that by2040, the ice could melt(融化) completely during the summers.For polar bears, that's a matter of life and death(死亡).

In the winter, when there's ice, polar bears eat as much aspossible, to store(贮存) up energy. But these days,there's less winter ice. And summers are the hardest time for polar bears. Becausethere is less ice to travel on, they have to spend more time on land. But thereisn't much food on land.

The scientists believe that by 2040, polar bears will startdisappear in southern areas of the Arctic, like Canada. In places like Alaskaand Russia, the bears may start to disappear by 2080.

To help save polar bears, It's time for us to take rapid action toreduce the effect(影响）of global heating.

Do you know all the living things need to sleep? People can sleep in their (house) to keep safe. But to some animals, it's not safe for them

(sleep) sometimes. When they sleep, other animals may hurt or kill them. Animals have to think of many ways to protect (they) so that they can sleep well.

Seals(海豹) need to (breath) air, but that doesn't stop some of them sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep. It can help these seals get away from some (danger) animals.

Some ducks sleep with just half of their brains. They often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks sleep deeply the middle with both eyes closed.

Some seabirds sleep while they are flying. These big birds spend most of their lives (fly) over the sea. They are in danger if they are on the water, they'll be safe in the sky. They can fly for many hours without flapping their wings.

Horses often sleep while standing up. Their legs lock (固定)in the place so they don't fall over. A horse can run from danger (quick) if it is already standing. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up.
