21、A blind boy sat there with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.”

There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins and dropped them into the hat. He then turned the sign around and wrote something on it. He put the sign back and walked away.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you do?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth in a different way.”

What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second one told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second one told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

22、An old tree tell you…

Dear human beings,

I hesitated a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me.

I’m a pretty old tree. I’m eighty years old, so I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on Earth with you for millions of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gas so that

you have pure air, we cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air-conditioners all the time, we help prevent the Earths soil from being washed away, and above all, we give all kinds of fruits, nuts, beans, as well as wood to you.

But we are in great danger now because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, but you’re not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients (成分) for some of your important medicines, you wouldn’t have enough materials for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. Moreover, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious, and your life would turn nasty…

Well, the list could go on and on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop your bad practice. Please stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!

I wish the best for you, and good luck!

Your friend,

An old tree

23、Teenagers can’t afford to buy expensive gifts. So what do you do if you want to give gifts to the important people in your life? In fact, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on holiday gifts. There are many cheap ways to do that. Here are some make­-it­-yourself gift ideas to try:

To your mum and dad:

You can decorate a photo frame, sing a song or write a letter to your mum and dad. You can also draw a picture for them if you like that better.

To your teacher:

Sometimes students put their pocket money together and buy the teacher a holiday gift. Some kids also give individual gifts. You can send a nice card with the words of thanks inside. You might even write down the favorite thing you’ve learned in the teacher’s class this year. It will make the teacher feel happy.

To the kids who need a friend:

The holidays are a good time to think about people who are lonely. Maybe there is someone in your class who doesn’t seem to have many friends. Try to do something for this person. It could be giving a Christmas card or just chatting with him or her. It’s a small thing, but it could mean a lot to someone who feels a little shy or sad at school.

24、John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.

Dear David,

How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having fun on my student exchange program here. I am used to life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I will share some with you.

In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art, kite making and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites spread to Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft(飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.

Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1,660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.

Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chinese people have been celebrating it and enjoying moon cakes for centuries.

If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.

Best wishes!

Yours,

John
