It was cloudy, rainy and cold. For the days in late November, the colorful leaves were now1 fast. I felt it was hard for me to be2 in such weather. I tried to smile, but I couldn't. I walked on through the thick leaves and my shoes slowly got wet. My body was3 My energy was low.
I felt something warm all of a sudden. A break in the 4 appeared and the sunlight was shining through it down to the earth once again. I closed my eyes and turned my face to the sweet sunshine. Its warmth washed over me. Then I 5 and saw the leaves left on the tree shining in the sunlight. Their colors were even brighter. I felt my spirits (情绪) rising slowly as well.
The few minutes of light 6 me with joy. I walked back home,7 to nature and amazed at what a little break in the cloud could do.
In our lives, we all 8 times when the world seems cold, dark and gray. In these times, nature calls on (号召) us to break through the clouds9 and share our light with the world. So when the gray days come, don't sit in the dark. Instead, break through clouds 10 .A helping hand, a kind word or a small act of love can warm and shine light into another's heart.
I'm Ellen, a student from Glasgow, England. When I get to school,I talk with my friends for a while. The bell rings at 8:55. The first class is a short 15-minute class. The teacher calls the names of the students. The teacher also reads out the school's notices. On Wednesday morning we do not have this class. Instead, all of my year group go into the big school hall. The head teacher for our year reads all the school notices. She also talks about important subjects like being kind and helpful to each other.
The first teaching class is at 9:10. Every day I have a different first class. On Mondays, it is maths. Sometimes our teacher tells us to do pair work or group work. I enjoy group work the most. I like working with other people.
I also have four English classes every week. English is one of my favourite subjects. We are lucky to have a helpful and funny teacher. At the start of each lesson, we have ten minutes of private(私人的) reading. I enjoy reading books about space travel and action stories. We work on the four parts of language: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Sometimes we have to stand up and give a talk to the class.
At my school, we must take French. We can take other languages when we are older. In French class, we learn easy words, and also about French culture. It can be fun to say something in French.
My school life is different but interesting.
Joe is an American. When Joe was born, he had a problem with his heart and doctors had to perform an operation(手术) on him. When he was 3, Joe had his second operation. This operation didn't go well and he even couldn't move the left side of his body. The doctors at the hospital didn't think he could get better. Then the family moved to Florida.
Joe liked being in the water and his mother thought swimming could help him. First, they went to swimming pools in hotels, but some hotel guests didn't like them being there. Then one day she went with Joe to a place called Dolphin Plus, where people swam with dolphins. Joe met Fonzie, a 3-meter-long, 275 kilogram dolphin there and the story really began.
Soon, Joe was eager to see Fonzie every day. He loved playing with him and feeding him. Every time Joe arrived, Fonzie came to see him right away. Joe's mother told him always to feed Fonzie using his left hand, so Joe used his left side more and more. Slowly, he got better and better.
Joe's mother saw that Fonzie helped him a lot, and she knew it was a good idea for other people, too. So, she and her family worked to open a place called Island Dolphin Care. It's next to Dolphin Plus and many people with health problems come to spend time with the dolphins.
Joe is now over 30 years old and very well. However, Fonzie died in 2004 when Joe was 17. Joe wrote:"Fonzie was a great friend to me; he and I shared a lot of good times. He always put a smile on my face when I was feeling down."

In China, a year has 24 solar terms. They were created thousands of years ago to guide people's lives. Grain Buds or Xiaoman, the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. Grain Buds holds both natural and cultural importance. It means that the seeds of summer crops like wheat are becoming full but are not ripe(成熟的). The name xiaoman has also special meanings in Chinese culture and shows how Chinese people think about life. The word mixes xiao, meaning little, and man, meaning"full". Together, it means"things are not yet completely full". This name shows that it is best not to do too much or too little.
Let's see what we can do during the"Grain Buds" period.
A good season for eating
During the Grain Buds period, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time goes, "A heavy rainfall makes the river full." Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them.
Grain Buds is also a season for eating mulberries(桑葚) and bitter herbs(苦菜) which can cool the blood and remove harmful things from the body.
A key period for flower caring
This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are the most, which makes growing flowers even harder. Caring for your garden becomes even more important than any other time. If you take good care of them, your plants will be healthier.
High temperatures and wet days are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may make you get skin illnesses easily. It is also important to exercise during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular.
Earth Day, which falls on April 22, is a day to call on more people to protect the natural world. This year's theme"Planet VS. Plastic" is especially important because plastic is harming our environment in many ways. Plastic doesn't break down easily. To fight against plastic pollution, we all need to do something.
Governments can make rules to limit(限制) the use of plastic and encourage people to recycle. Businesses should find ways to use less plastic or use recycled plastic instead.
International cooperation (合作) is of great importance, as many environmental problems need worldwide support.
Schools can help too. By taking part in activities like zero-waste events at school, we will be more likely to make proper choices in our daily lives. We can also share what we know with our friends and families.
We are advised to use reusable shopping bags and glass bottles instead of plastic ones. It's a good idea to try to buy something without a lot of plastic packaging(包装). Even small changes in our daily habits can be helpful.
Earth Day is a perfect chance to have our voice heard. Let's work together towards a greener planet.
