Where is Love? How can we find Love?
Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.
They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy(快乐)on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.”At the same time, the old woman,s son was also surprised at his mothe r,s pleasure and asked why.
“I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.”
If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning(燃烧的) house？ How will you escape(逃脱)？Do you know how to save yourself？Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，such as stairways and fire escapes，but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings，escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（渗） into the room.
On a second or third floor，the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥） might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛） and grass can help to break a fall.

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana，Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning， she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has
no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days， we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resourceon the earth.
Water covers 70% of the earth's surface。

But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn't mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problem s. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars，factories，farms and homes make our rivers，lakes，and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish， too. Now，34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty？ First， they pollute the air. Then， when it rains，the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain，called acid rain，is also bad for plants，animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years， more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water：
Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters each month. Leaky taps（漏水的龙头） waste a lot of water. Fix them right away！
You can easily cut your 10-minute showers（沐浴） in half-and you'll be just as clean.
When you wash dishes， don't let the water run.
Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn't full，you're wasting water！

When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， "Only a miracle can save him now，" the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore （药店） with the money in her hand.
"And what do you want？" asked the salesman. "It's for my little brother，" the girl answered. "He's really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"Pardon？" said the salesman.
"My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his he ad and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？" "We don't sell a miracle here， child. I'm sorry，" the salesman said with a smile.
"Listen,if it isn't enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs."
A well-dressed man heard it and asked， "What ki nd of a miracle does your brother need？"
"I don't know，" she answered with her eyes full of tears. "He's really sick and mum says he needs an opera-tion. But my daddy can't pay for it， so I have brought all my money."

"Well， what luck，" smiled the man. "$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers." He took up the girl's hand and said， "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源），we are short of（缺乏） others， for example， fresh water（淡水）。

It is reported that we will have no coal （煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？ Think about it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on. Little by little，everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best.
