To make kids love their school,Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them一and then,go to school. Even some parents want to take them,too!

      What do you think of a forest? What do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things,such as singing birds,colorful plants and wild flowers?

      The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all different,they have one thing in common：they all need each other in order to live on.

      The trees feed the forest “people” by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out,making it possible for living things to live in it.

      Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food,railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售員) to sell it to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then,of course,we need doctors,nurses,government leaders , mailmen,telephone operators,and many others.

      We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship,to talk over our problems,exchange ideas.Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.

      Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know,being a volunteer is so great!

   A. we need people for friendship

   B. the forest is a whole world of its own

   C. we need one another in order to live on

   D. the forest is full of different living things

Dear editor (編輯) ，

        I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful pea-cocks (孔雀) here. The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square (廣場) .

        They are given food freely by visitors. They usually throw food to them,and don't think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill,some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors. Tm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds,but don't realize (意識(shí)到) that they may be doing them harm (傷害) . The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds,and this kind of things must be stopped from happening. Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person,it5s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

                                                                   Yours,
