A group of frogs were traveling through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to live. The two frogs didn't listen and tried to jump out of the hole. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.
The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himselfto die. Hejumped even harder and finally
made himselfout. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging（鼓励）him the whole time.
There is power of life and death in the tongue（舌头）. An encouraging word to
someone who is down can cheer him or her up and help them make it through the difficulties.
While a negative（负面的） word to someone who is down can make him give up and die.
So be careful of what you say.
The number of people living in the rainforest is rising, but the rainforest itselfis becoming smaller!
During the 20th century, huge areas of rainforests were cut down. More and more people in Brazil and Indonesia moved into rainforest areas to find land for living. Local farmers cut down trees to grow crops. Large companies（公司）have also moved into the rainforests to develop their factories.
The problem is that the area of the rainforest is becoming smaller and smaller. Scientists say that destroying（破坏）the rainforest is the earth and should be stopped. But why？
Rainforest plants help to clean the air. What's more, different parts ofrainforest plants can be used to produce useful medicines and maybe the key to solving serious health problems.
So how can we solve the problem? Governments can make some rules to protect their forests. Companies can createjobs elsewhere, so that fewer people have to live and work in the rainforests. Farmers are encouraged to plant crops in certain areas, and this helps to stop the soil from being washed away and produces better crops.
More than half of the plants and animals that live in the rainforest can't be found anywhere else in the world. It is important to make sure that these forests are used well and protected by people.
