"Josh! Kate! Emma! Time to go!" Mrs. Cater called from the car.
Emma and Kate hurried to finish their breakfast and Josh was busy looking for his Backpack.
As usual, it was a big rush. Every morning, their mother or father had to drive them to school.
"HURRY!" called their mother. Not so gently (温柔地) this time.
Kids ran to the car. Then Mom turned onto the road.
"Kids, what activities do you have after school?" Mom asked.
"I have dance class." said Kate.
"I have soccer." said Josh.
"I have art class." said Emma. Their mother just sighed (吸气).
That afternoon, Mrs. Carter had to pick up everybody. She drove a long way. Finally they were home.
Looking at the tired mother. Emma said. "I have an idea! We can ride bikes to school."
"It's too far! And taking a taxi costs a lot. If there were buses, that would be nice." said Kate.
"Today we talked about cars in science class. Many people are all driving at the same time. That's bad for the air. It uses too much gas (汽油). So we could do a carpool (拼车). Kill two birds with one stone!" said Josh proudly.
"Fantastic! We can talk to our neighbors." said Kate excitedly.
"Yes!" said Josh "Mom! We could ask them to carpool."
That night the family went to visit their neighbors.
The family told the Smiths their plan. They all loved the idea!
Evan Smith and Josh were on the same soccer team Their parents would take turns to pick up the boys.
The Carters visited other neighbors. One family said they would drive to school two days a week. Another family had children to Emma's art class. Someone else had kids in Kate's dance class.
Finally, they had a schedule (日程表). It showed when each family would drive. Josh said, "Tomorrow, I will tell my science teacher our plan. He will be proud of us! We are being careful with important Earth resources (资源). And we've solved our family problem."
I ran into the forest to my favorite place and sat down on my special rock. I knew no one could find me. At last I had peace and quiet. I lifted my guitar and began to play.
"Hi, Desha!"
Shocked, I found my brother James standing behind me.
"Don't you have a basketball game to watch?" I complained (抱怨).
"The game was almost over when I noticed (注意) you left. I thought you might like some company (陪伴)."
"Company is the last thing I want. Can't I have a little peace and quiet?"
James studied me for a minute. It's hard having such a big family, isn't it?"
"Eliza's always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game. All I wanted to do was to watch a movie, but when I went to my room. Sara was there listening to the radio. I just want to be alone for a change."
James sighed and said, "I left the same way when I was your age. But now..."
"Now you have your own room. After Daniel went off to college, you didn't have to share anymore."
James smiled, "It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel. We used to talk about everything—sports, school, friends... Although sometimes it seemed crowded, it was comforting (令人安慰的) to have someone else there."
"Yeah, ‘crowded' is right." I said.
"I know." James said. "But there are some good things that come out of it—we share memories and jokes no one else understands and we can support one another in face of difficulties."
I sighed.
"Didn't Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?" James asked.
I admitted (承认) unwillingly. "Yeah, sometimes she can be all right."
"This place can be your ‘room'. Anytime you need peace and quiet. just come here," James said, pointing at a rock.
I was surprised to see James' name there!
James smiled, "This is a great place for getting away."
Leaning (依靠) on brother's shoulder. I thought. "Maybe family is not bad."
We've all seen pictures of camels carrying heavy loads (负载物) across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days.
Have you ever wondered how they do it? For your answer, take a look at the bag round hump which is on a camel's back.
Camels are the only animals with humps. And it's the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink.
When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel's hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat (脂防) and stored in the camel's bump.
When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That's why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water.
Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel's blood cells (组胞).
Camels save water too. They never know when they'll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies.
After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel's hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight.
Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life.
While I was going through the forest. I fell on the ground. Ouch! That hurt. Then a voice said, "Are you l right? You badly(not hurt), are you?"
I looked up and saw a boy of my age. "No, I'm OK, Thanks." He helped me up.
"I haven't seen you at school. Do you live near here?" I asked.
"No. I'm from Manchester," with these words, the boy hurried away.
Back home, Mum (watch) the news.
"Hi, Grace you(hear) about this boy, Mark?" she asked.
"No. What boy?" I said.
"A boy from Manchester He's run away from home. Look! This is his dad."
There was a man on TV sitting next to a policeman. He was crying. Then they showed a photo of the missing boy. It was the boy in the forest!
"Should I tell mum? No. I (not say) anything. I have to talk to Mark first." I said to myself.
The next day, I found Mark in the forest. I said, "Your dad was on TV last night. The police (look) for you."
He looked shocked and asked, "Have you told them?"
"No." I said, "I wanted (talk) to you first. Why have you run away?"
He said sadly. "I argued with my dad. My mum died four years ago. Recently, my dad met a woman named Mel. Mel wants my dad for herself and isn't interested in me. That night, Father (tell) me that we would all move to London because Mel's from London. But my grandpa and my friends (be) in Manchester. I don't want to move there. We both got angry. So I left in the midnight."
I felt sorry for Mark. But when I thought of his dad crying on TV. I am sorry for him too. "What you(do)?" I asked.
"I don't know." he replied.
"Why not live with your grandpa in Manchester? Let your dad and Mel (move) to London and visit them in the holidays."
Mark didn't answer for a while. then he nodded and smiled. "Can I use your phone? I need to call my dad."

So he decided to go deeper into the forest to look for berries. As he walked along, he felt very h. He had been so busy cooking that he had eaten nothing all day.
As be walked, Bear met bis friend Raccoon.
"Do you have say berries for me?" asked Bear.
"Sorry, but I can g you some apples." said Raccoon.

"Do you have any berries for me?" asked Bear.
"No," said Squirrel. "But I have some walnuts (核桃). You can have some."
"Thank you." said Bear. "But I do not w walnuts in my pies. I will keep searching for berries."
After a lot of effort, Bear realized that there were no berries left.
Suddenly, snow began to fall. Bear raced home. Then he jumped into bed. B he could not sleep. He was so hungry.
"Oh dear." said Bear. I will have to eat my pies. But if so, I will have n for spring. Bear was too hungry to worry about it. He ate up all the pies u he felt full at last. Soon he was fast asleep. Bear slept for many months.
Spring came. Bear w up. He was very, very hungry.
Just then, Raccoon and Squirrel came. They were each holding a pie.
"Those pies smell delicious." said Bear.
"Oh. I don't think you would like my sour apple pie." said Raccoon.
"And I am sure you wouldn't like my walnut pie." said Squirrel.
When Bear opened his mouth to speak, Raccoon put some apple pie in Bear's m.
"Yum, this is good!" cried Bear.
Squirrel gave Bear some walnut pie.
"Wow, walnut pie is great, t," said Bear.
"Aren't you glad we educated you about pies?" said Squirrel.
"I am." Bear said. "My next pies will have new fillings (馅)."
Amy Phelps loves giraffes very much. She met her first giraffe when she was three years old. "My parents knew the giraffe keeper at the zoo." she says. "He showed the magic of giraffes. They are gentle (温顺的), intelligent and funny. (A)To follow her dream of caring for giraffes, Amy became a zookeeper when she finished college.
Her daily work starts with saying hello to each giraffe and cleaning up after them. It can be tiring but makes her happy. "It's not my favourite part of the job." says Amy. "But I like the exercise."
Feeding the giraffes is a big part of her job. They eat around 100 pounds of food every day, including branches (树枝), fruits and vegetables. She also gives them treats (美味佳肴). Besides, Amy takes care of their health. She's amazed by how smart they are and teaches them different tricks, such as recognizing (辨认) parts of their bodies and even painting with a brush.
Amy not only cares for the giraffe in the zoo, but also protects those in the wild. She works as a researcher to make sure Africa's giraffes will not disappear.
