Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests.  They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem.  Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!  As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.  The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.  They saw alligators and crocodiles.  In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.  “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.  They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.
Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture.  During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.  They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before      every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never      . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and fatty food,       . She weighted herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a                sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking,           he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile         his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.
“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he        very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the           of a happy old age.
“I hope you don’t         me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do           I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for        ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was         . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did        wrong. She thought he should be          and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life          eating well or doing lots of exercise.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer(播音員). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申請(qǐng)). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.”

One young excellent person was trying to find a high position in a big company. It was the director who would make the final decision.
The director discovered that the young man did an excellent job in his college, which interested him a lot.
The director asked, “Who paid for your college?”
The young man answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was just my mother.”
“What did your mother do?” The director seemed surprised.
“She is a clothes cleaner,” the young man answered, with no feeling.
“Have you ever helped your mother wash some clothes before?”
“Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She could wash clothes faster than me,” the young man seemed puzzled (迷惑) when answering.
“Well, now I need you to do something. When you go back home today, clean your mother’s hands and see me tomorrow.”
The youth was happy when hearing this because he felt that his chance of getting the job was great. When he went home, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but happy. With mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The young man cleaned his mother’s hands, with tears falling. It was the first time he noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled (皺的), and there were so many wounds.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across from mine, and it was only a few metres away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered why the woman didn't wash her window.
One sunny morning, I decided to clean up my apartment, including washing my windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down for a rest by the window. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen! Her window was clean! Suddenly, I realized I had made a mistake. I was watching her through my dirty window all the time!
That was quite an important lesson for me. Since then, whenever I wanted to judge （判斷） someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through the dirty window of my heart? ”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world clearly.
