A 340-foot-long ramp（舷梯） allows kids with disabilities to get to the tree house.
Tree houses are wonderful places to play with friends. You can even just sit in them and dream. But for some kids, tree houses are only a dream. Many kids have never been in a tree house. Why? They have disabilities. They are unable to climb. Bill Allen and Phil Trabulsy are good citizens. They wanted to make these kids' dreams come true. In 1998. they started forever Young Tree Houses in Vermont. This group makes tree houses for kids with disabilities.
The tree houses have long ramps. Ramps help kids in wheelchairs get into the houses.
Kristen Messer, 17, visited a tree house for the first time. "It was really great having a tree house that I could get into without any help, ' Kristen says.
Chaz Freeman, a 19-year-old, uses a wheelchair. After he visited a tree house in New Hampshire, he said with a smile, "We get to experience what it is like to be a normal kid. "
Allen and Trabulsy's tireless group is working hard around the U. S. to build tree houses.

For writers in Western cultures, fall is a difficult season to describe.
On the one hand, it is the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. When you get up in the morning, there's mist（薄雾） and it's cooler. You know that winter is around the corner. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast： "You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the tree. . .
On the other hand, fall has its good side. There are so many changes in nature at this time of year：The red and brown colors that the leaves change to, and the way they fall from the trees. French writer Albert Camus even thought fall was a second spring： "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. "
Another fall theme is wisdom. The coming of the season is just like a person becoming mature（成熟的）. At this time it's thought that people have learned a thing or two about life.
Of course, there are many other themes and subjects in the literature fo fall. For example, it's the beginning of a new term of the school year. So fall can be a writing topic for children and young people. But fall writing is usually about the changes in nature. And writers often use it as a symbol for changes in human life.
We all avoid failure, and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. What does success usually come after? Failure.
Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often unwilling to accept failure because our professional fame depends on success. In the past ten years, for example, some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests. It is believed that scientists can learn from "negative（负面的）" results and that can finally lead to positive results.
In fact, one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes, in part because the product's makers learned from their mistakes. The product, though unique（独特的）at the time, was expensive and heavy；besides, some of its most important features（特点） didn't work properly. As a result, it became one of Apple's biggest failures, and in 1998, the company stopped selling it. However, Apple′s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed in the product and he began to find out ways of improving it. In time, this lead to the production of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company's most successful products.
Not only should we try to learn from it；if we want to succeed, we must also be persistent. Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end, the effort became successful.
All in all, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. One truly can't exist without the other.
|
A. However, things are slowly changing, especially in science and business. B. It seems that one cannot exist（存在） without the other. C. In the early 1990s, Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton. D. The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure. E. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. |
One day, a young man was cleaning out his dead grandfather's belongings and he found a bright red envelope. Written on the front were the words, "To my grandson. " Knowing his grandfather's handwriting, the boy opened the envelope. A letter inside read：
Dear Ronny,
Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa how is it that you've done so much in your life? You're still full of energy, and I'm already tired of hard work. How can I get that same energy that you've got? "
I didn't know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I think that I should give you an answer. So here is what I believe.
First, when you meet up with challenges, welcome them. They'll make you wiser and stronger than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be thankful for the things it taught you. Use that lesson to help you reach your aims.
Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn't just reaching the top. Part of it is moving from one top to the next. If you rest too long, you might give up. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.
Most important of all, never give up yourself. The person that ends up as a winner is the one who decides to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you.
I hated math, but needed high scores to please my parents, so I made some "friends", who allowed me（copy） their work on tests. Eventhey knew it was bad for me, they were still glad to "help". In this way, I passed a few tests.
One day, something terrible happened. Our teacher changed our （seat） for the test and I was setting beside a boy whom Italked with before. The questions were sothat I could only answer one or two. I signaled（示意） to the boy and asked him for answers. To my surprise, he （agree）to offer ″help" After the test, he came up to tell me that I could get good grades in math and all I needed was to put more effort into the subject. I was still mad at him, but I thought what he said had a.
From that day on, I began to spend more time on math. Slowly, the subject I hated so much turned such an interesting thing. I started to pass math tests（easy） with my own ability.
Till now, I'm still thankful to the boy who didn't ″help" me on that day, because his choice is really
（help） to my lifelong journey.
A new study shows that some animals are gradually growing larger beaks, legs and ears. In this way, they can lose heat to cool themselves down as the earth gets much. Although theis still small, it could be more obvious（明显的） as time goes by. Although animals are changing their body shapes, scientists warn that it doesn't mean everything is fine. It just means they are trying hard to. However, not all animals can avoid dying. "The climate problem that we have caused is giving a lot of pressure on them, and while some animals will adapt（适应）. will not. "said the scientists. animals fail to control their body temperature, they might overheat and die.
